[GUIDE] Full Power Management w/ Dual/Single Broadwell-EP/Haswell-EP CPUs on 10.12.

[ajschot]

Damn... tried everything, my system always freezes when using this methode.... so if i avoid the AppleCPUManagement.kext i can turbo to 3GHz but the system freezes.... if I let it use AppleCPUPowermanagemnet.kext it is just working the whole time on 2.0Ghz
Also with this guide m system will NEVER go to idle (1,2GHz) keeps always on 2Ghz or higher there is still something not right...
I am now using a E5-2683v3 (with my E5-2658v4 all OK on the same board)

so always on 2Ghz or a not working machine

Created the SSDT with the Generator from Pike, and I also checked the Haswell config file but all information for my E5-2683v3 seems to be right. I use all the patches from the first post
I can't stand my OSX only works on 2GHz or not at all. 1 thing I did not try is without SSDT file..... and with NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
i can't find the problem please help...

EDIT: found something coming back in the system log every time my machine freezes

xpcproxy[1039]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper_userdir: 523: bootstrap_look_up returned 268435459

Hello
a thx for your interest
May you let me know what you think about?

cause I tried on clover:
1/ activation in clover (as u proposed) and dont touch the boot (nvidia webdriver on boot so meaning it is naturally activated)
2/ unactivated in clover and not touched on the boot as point 1
3/ let it like that BUT on bios disable Hyperthreading

to resume:
A/ the solution 3, w/o HT: let me have a stable and very very fluid computer (finder, safari, chromium etc etc)
and of course the Nvidia web driver manager appears and can be opened
B/ with HT, Nvidia web driver manager cannot be opened but full acceleration, but fluidity very bad...

my best results on Lexmark or Geekbench are done with HT activated...
but not fluid

if a person who has 2 TITAN X Maxwell can use and open Nvidia web driver manager without pb under SIERRA will be glad to know how

Have you tried using the new way which is NvidiaWeb not in your boot flags but in your system parameters?

PS: Okrasit helped me a lot
and now my rig is dope with maximum of 2,8GHz on all threads when full used
when it is in idle: 1,7 or else
but I have much better results in multi on GB 4 with this way (around 38 500 points on multi and 4100 on mono)

Hoping someone can help me figure out what I've done wrong here. My Hackintosh boots and runs smoothly, however, as you'll see from Geekbench, it's not performing like it has a multicore processor (4116/3420).

X99 Deluxe w 32GB RAM
EVO 850 PRO SSD

I've attached my config.plist and boot log. I wonder if it isn't a setting that I carried over from Yosemite inadvertently but I'm not sure which one that might be.

Thanks!

That will do it.

That will do it.

Thanks, P1lgrim. I removed the setting and now I'm up to 3349/19143. I thought that the 5930K was a single cpu. ssdtPRgen's output says Number logical CPU's: 12 which I guess means 2 cpu's x 6 cores? I'm confused... Also, in generating the SSDT, there was a warning: 'system-type' may be set improperly (1 instead of 3). Is this something to be concerned about?

The cpus setting is for cores. cpus=1 means use only one core.

No.

Can anyone help me with this error. I keep trying to load Piker Alpha's freqvectors and every .plist I've tried it keeps failing. Also AppleLPC.kext and X86Platform kext aren't loading. Furthermore Piker Alpha said, "kextstat -lb com.apple.driver.X86PlatformPlugin That should show a line, but if it turns up blank, then your “plugin-type” property on CPU0 is missing. This is normally injected from a _DSM method. Please check this and fix in case it isn’t being set." Attached is my config.plist. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

 

[Miles.Conn]

I think the MSRx02 lock is holding you back. I can't find it now but piker alpha has a guide for getting around it I think.

I am so confused and frustrated. I have tried many different configurations and I'm not even sure if this is working or not. My end goal is *just to be able to use TURBO* with my Xeon, as it's been stuck running at non-turbo frequency since I built this hack two years ago.

Please help me, haha.

I went through the guide again and did everything again. This is my current output from apple intel info:

bash-3.2#

A few things to note here currently:

1. Under Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology.. : 1 (enabled). Intel SpeedStep is DISABLED in BIOS but it's showing as ENABLED in the script. I thought this didn't matter? I've tried it both ways. No matter what I do it shows enabled in the script.
2. Under MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT............(0x1AD) : 0x2020202020202020 it's showing that at every C state my limit is 3200. Shouldn't some be lower? I thought they were before but I have no idea what changed.
3. I tried removing the kernel patch for Haswell-E, I can boot with or without it. WTF?
4. I do not have VoodooTSCSync or NullCPUPowerManagement installed
5. I enabled enhanced C1 state in BIOS.
6. I am running Sierra 10.12.2. I am not sure if the patches in the OP still work in this version. Can anyone confirm?

I think the MSRx02 lock is holding you back. I can't find it now but piker alpha has a guide for getting around it I think.

I am having the same problem but with the Xeon E5-2683 v3 it looks like a Haswell Xeon problem. I can have it on 3Ghz boost but never under 2Ghz but then the machine freezes. So I deleted the SSDT file.
Only with proper SSDT (with XCMP 1) it can boost but then it freezes, I don't have this problem with the Xeon E5-2658 v4 so problem is not on Broadwell Xeons only on Haswell Xeons (E5-26xx v3)

After I applied the following patches, clover won't pass the first screen.

I haven't run ssdtPRGen.sh yet.

Should I generate the ssdt first before applying those patches?

You used the broad well code not the Haskell code your xeon is an Haswell
