I've been trying to understand all this and it's quite a bit to deal with. I think part of my problem may be (or will be) is that I let clover assign the default machine ID (is that what it's called?) of 14,2 to my system.
At this point everything is 100% working without a doubt, everything. Every feature, option, device, whatever, it all works.
iMessage, FaceTime (I just bought a refurbished Logitech C920 that was Plug-n-Play), handoff, Siri, sound, ethernet, USB 3, every freaking thing. I can't find any option or feature that doesn't work.
BUT, my i7-3770k does not throttle up at all under load. I have seen it slow down to like 3ghz when doing nothing at all but it will only speed up to 3.5ghz under full load. I used to run this exact same hardware under Yosemite at 4.5ghz. I think it was running as an iMac 3,1 at that time. But now that model is no longer supported. Ok, fine.
After doing some reading on Wikipedia it seems that Apple only ever put the i7-3770 (they never put out a 3770k) in either the 13,1 (i7-3770s 3.1ghz) or 13,2 (i7-3770 3.4ghz). I can't see that they ever sold a machine of any type that runs over 3.5ghz. WTF Apple??!!
So here's my problem, with my machine now thinking it's a 14,2 which would only have an Haswell CPU which is improper for Ivy Bridge i7-3770(k) I BELIEVE that I need to change my machine ID to say it's a 13,2 because that's as close to my i7-3770k as I can find.
But how do I change this machine ID? And if I do change it, will it break all my working stuff? iMessage and FaceTime and everything else? Clover Configurator scares me. Multibeast, not so much. Can I simply redefine the system from a 14,2 to a 13,2 in Multibeast, apply it then reboot and everything will still work? I realize that alone won't fix the overclocking throttle problem but is a necessary step towards fixing it. I'm just scared of totally screwing up my perfectly working system and not being able to fix it or reboot.
Thanks!
