It is not difficult. Copy/paste.

ok, smbios tab and fill in the blanks?

In CC? There is a smbios Wizard thing (big button on the right with the stars) that will fill it all in for you. Then you can edit an existing /Extra/smbios.plist to change the relevant items via copy/paste.

ok, replaced all that was in the smbios to iMac 14.2 with what was generated by CC.
still no dice, no cpu in hwmonitor or 8 cores in activity monitor.

smbios attached.

It looks a little incomplete. Better to generate smbios.plist with Chameleon Wizard then replace the relevant parts.

And always post ioreg otherwise no way for me to verify/see what you've done.

Also, after you have correct smbios in place (and reboot), you must regenerate ssdt using ssdtPRgen.sh as the script depends on having the correct smbios active.

What exactly doesn't work?

As far as no CPU info in HwMonitor, it appears you don't have the FakeSMC plugin, CPUSensors.kext, installed.

And your CPU is a 4-core i7-4700MQ. I don't know of any laptops with 8-core CPUs.

It is probably showing overall CPU usage, not just one core.

on my macbook pro it shows 2 cores , my MAD pro it shows all 4 cores in 10.8.5, my 27" iMac shows 4 cores on 10.9.3, this one shows 1 core....



and from time to time I'm thinking its not running on all 4 cores.
Do you think its possible to get it to show all 4 cores on that?

its a feature request i know......:0)
