[Guide] Native Power Management for Laptops

Hello everyone,

I'm unable to got power management working.
My intel is unable to up to the maximum cadency (2,7 gHz with turbo boost) and the IGPU too, it stay constantly in 300mHz while it should can up to 900mHz.

I tested ssdtPRGen.sh and the Experimental technique XCPM.
I set DropOem=true, my ssdt.aml is stored to the end, and plugin-type is set to 1.
I patched all my ssdt and dsdt to fix GFX0 to IGPU.

I not see what I could have forgotten.
Here is my files reporting.
Thank for your help

You should not use DropOem=true unless you're putting all OEM SSDTs (appropriately patched in ACPI/patched).
For your hardware, you need only SSDT-PluginType1.aml.
You also have SMBIOS truncation, set config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/DellSMBIOSPatch=true.

Thank you rehabman for your reply.
So I disabled DropOem, and I add DELLSMBIOS in KernelAndKextPatches but boot fail again and waits for root device.
I have to patch HECI to IMEI and fix USB, can it come from there ?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry Rehabman,

So I still have booting issue if I disable DropOem.
My CPU is limited to 2,5 ghz max and stay to 1,3 ghz min instead of 800 mhz min.
My IGPU is limited to 0,3 ghz according to intel gadget.

Here is my files for reporting problem and a picture of my boot fail.

Thank very much for your help.

Sorry again.

Timestamps on your files are not trustable (they are all the same, as if you touched each file after copying, or used something strange to create the ZIP).

Use the following procedure to collect EFI/Clover:
- reboot into Clover
- at main Clover screen, press F4 and F2
- then boot macOS
- mount EFI
- with Finder, copy EFI/Clover to the desktop
- remove 'themes' from the copy
- create ZIP by using right-click: Compress "CLOVER"
- attach resulting ZIP

Note: The ioreg shows SMBIOS truncation. You forgot to set config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/DellSMBIOSPatch=true, or you're using a version of Clover that does not support the feature. This is something you need to check on your own... it is really obvious the problem in ioreg.

Your profile indicates you have no secondary graphics card. Therefore no reason to have patched SSDTs in ACPI/patched. Remove all of them, do renames with config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Patches and set DropOem=false. That way you only need to patch DSDT.aml.

DSDT.aml is not patched correctly. For example, no evidence of any "OS Check Fix" patch. Refer to the ACPI patching guide (pinned thread in this forum).

Ok thank you Rehabman,

So my clover must be exceeded DellSMBIOS is set to true, I will update it.
That's strange because I have patched my DSDT for brightness fix "GFX0 to IGPU" and that's work.
So I will patch my DSDT to fix "HECI to IMEI", "OS Check fix" and other that are recommended for dell xps 9343 and 9350.

Thank you very much for your help.
 
I've implemented HWP power management on my Asus Zenbook UX501VW, MacBookPro13,3.

I'm on Sierra 10.12.6

I used Piker Alpha's script to reduce the idle speed from 1300 MHz to 800 MHz. I'm using an X86PlatformPluginInjector. Low idle speed at 800 MHz works perfectly. But on the full speed end, the processor doesn't go any higher than x33 3300 Mhz instead of the maximum turbo of x35 3500 Mhz.

Cinebench only runs at x31 3100 Mhz at the most, while on Windows Cinebench attains the peak 3500 Mhz speed several times.

I don't know if there's a power saving feature preventing the full 3500 Mhz. Or maybe I've implemented HWP incorrectly?

I've implemented HWP power management on my Asus Zenbook UX501VW, MacBookPro13,3.

I'm on Sierra 10.12.6

I used Piker Alpha's script to reduce the idle speed from 1300 MHz to 800 MHz. I'm using an X86PlatformPluginInjector. Low idle speed at 800 MHz works perfectly. But on the full speed end, the processor doesn't go any higher than x33 3300 Mhz instead of the maximum turbo of x35 3500 Mhz.

Cinebench only runs at x31 3100 Mhz at the most, while on Windows Cinebench attains the peak 3500 Mhz speed several times.

I don't know if there's a power saving feature preventing the full 3500 Mhz. Or maybe I've implemented HWP incorrectly?

It likely depends on the FrequencyVectors in your X86PlatformPlugin plist.
And perhaps other (thermal) throttling going on.
You could compare with non-HWP, or there is also Lilu.kext based CPUFriend.kext: https://github.com/PMheart/CPUFriend
