CPU Freq suddenly wrong and high

[xCatbodi]

Hi,

My CPU frequency's just recently started showing incredibly high. The CPU frequency's are wrong in About My Mac, HWMonitor, and Geekbench. The system's power management is actually fine, IOReg, AppleIntelInfo.kext, etc are reporting correct states 8-34. BIOS also shows the correct base clock (i7-7700HQ).

Anybody have an idea why this would happen?

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

HWPEnable should not be used. Remove from config.plist.
set config.plist/CPU/FrequencyMHz to set correct CPU freq.

I changed those 2 options in my config.plist, now About My Mac is showing correctly however Intel Power Gadget and HWMonitor are showing incorrect CPU Package Frequency. Picture attached.

Does the same happen if you boot with native ACPI?

I'm not sure.
As far as I understood, I'm using hotpatching with additional SSDT's, this is using native ACPI fils with hotpatching right?

Rehabman, a strange thing is also that randomly but not often I'll be able to reboot and everything is solved. It is very unlikely though, maybe 1 out of every 10-20 boots it will solve itself.

Test it so you're sure.

Test it so you're sure.

Do you have instructions for exactly what or how to test. i thought i was using native ACPI files
