In my case I have a i5 760, so the only one with that cpu is the:
iMac 11.3 F2238BAE
The iMac "Core i5" 2.8 27-Inch Aluminum (Mid-2010) is powered by a Quad Core 2.8 GHz Intel "Core i5" I5-760 (Lynnfield) processor with a dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and an 8 MB shared level 3 cache. In lieu of a system bus, it has a "Direct Media Interface" (DMI) that "connects between the processor and chipset" at 2.5 GT/s.
By default, it is configured with 4 GB of RAM (1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM), a 1 TB (7200 RPM) hard drive, a vertically-mounted slot-loading DVD±R DL "SuperDrive", and ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics with 1 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory.

I've found very few about this

iMac (Mid 2010)
DAS, DNM* iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010)
DB7, DNN* iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2010)
DB6, DNP* iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010)
DB5, DNR* iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010)
iMac (Late 2009)
5PC, B9U, CY8* iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
5PK*, B9S* iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
5PE, 5PJ, CYB* iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
CYC*, 5PM*, 5RU* iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)

So based on that I've started to build my serial that matches the definition I coose to use, checking at http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
so the G80401MPDB5 means:

G8 Factory: USA
0 Production Year: 2010
40 Production Week: 40 (October)
1MP Random (you can put what you want here)
DB5 is the code that matches my system

another example, if you have 3.2GHz Core i3 (550) then use DB6 or try the one that matches tour system :beachball:

I you want to try, please inform your results or if you loose CPU and/or Video performance by using it, Big tks

PS. this definition is not inclueded on las multibeast 4.1 so would be graet to include in future updates........
 
Just tried that one out and got one problem so far.
iStat does not show all temps but GPU and Incoming Air. Instant air behaves like the CPU temp (it raises rapidly when i run prime95), but is about 3-5°C lower than having macpro3,1 in the smbios.plist.

Graphics seems to be laggy/choppy after boot, but gets smooth after I put the display to sleep and wake it again.

In Cinebench 11.5 I get 27,43FPS in the OpenGL and 3,56Point in the CPU test.

Core i5-760@3GHz
Gigabyte P55-UD3L
GeForce GTS 250
12GB DDR3-1333 RAM

EDIT: After sleep I have the same problem described here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=38045
CPU Voltage gets stuck at 1,18V and temps raise by about 7-8°C on idle.

Did you try iStat on your PC? What values does it show?

EDIT2: With macpro3,1 I get these values in CB: CPU: 3,76, OpenGL: 28,68
Here my smbios.plist

<key>SMbiosdate</key>
<string>03/05/09</string>
<key>SMbiosversion</key>
<string>MP31.88Z.0081.B04.0903051113</string>

<key>SMproductname</key>
<string>MacPro3,1</string>
<key>SMserial</key>
<string>G81029559XYL</string>
 
Here are my results:
with macpro3.1 GB64 7658 CB 27.77 99.4% 3.74pts (no overclock)
with imac11.3 GB64 7643 CB 2.04 99.4% 3.77pts (no overclock)
I removed AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext then CB 27.86 99.4% 3.78pts
with OC 20% blk from 133 to 160 so CPU 3.36Ghz and RAM 1600Mhz
GB64 9183 CB 30.08 99.4% 4.54pts
Like you no more CPU temps, so I get the same incoming air that seems to be an average of all cores, maybe the monitor plugin is not for this system definition and needs to be patched for. besides that the only change is now this is an Imac 11.3 27in mid 2010 and for what I think is ready for speedstep, but I dont know how to test it.
Is safe to remove the AGPM kext or does it need to be patched? how?
Big Tks
 
I also removed AGPM.kext some time ago, didn't have any problems since then.

Dou you also have the problem with higher temps after sleep? (Vcore does not go down to 0.86V)

Does the AGPM.kext needs to be patched? how? about the Vcore, that deppends if the system is OC or not, if it is I get always ~1.24v no matter if I go to sleep or not, but without OC is like yours ~0.86v, but when waking up rises to ~1.24v and after a couple of minutes drops depending on cpu load.
Besides the temps I download istatpro widget and it shows temps at least for cpu-a and cpu-b...as alway for my oc system ~40-42C (incoming air is 10C less when idle, that matches heatsink temp). I take almost the same readings from windows7 so not a big diff. Sleep works fine manual&auto with pleasesleep.app and sleepenabler.kext from mouse/keyboard, but power button seems to be a karma for me ;)
And for now I see nothing about speedstep working on my build yet :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
how did you build the MacPro31 <key>SMbiosversion</key><string>MP31.88Z.0081.B04.0903051113</string> ??? I think I'll need something like this on imac113 instead of <key>SMbiosversion</key>
<string>MultiBeast.tonymacx86.com</string> , do I?
