Not sure if you're asking me or someone else...

But no issues here on my ProBook 4540s on 10.11.3.

Anyone else facing Wifi not identified on 8470p El Capitan?

I followed the steps and after logging in to Mac OS I installed latest Probook Clover edition.

Did anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

Thank you

Did you install compatible WiFi hardware? See post #1 of the guide.

Intel Centrino advanced N-6205... Only broadcom will work right? any workaround yet?

Intel WiFi not supported. See guide post #1: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...-hp-elitebook-probook-others-clover-uefi.html

First of all , thank you all involved in making OSX work on the HP Probook / Elitebook.
Probook installer works almost flawless for me.
I myself got a HP 6560B running El Capitan 10.11.3 on EUFI boot.
Almost all hardware is working , no card reader , no problem.
Could not test VGA , the expresscard slot or the Esata port
Switched off all not needed devices in the bios , serial port , fingerprint reader.

I upgraded my cpu to a 2760QM , which is a quad core CPU option in the service manual with the 90Watt PSU.
To be exact the 2720QM , 2630QM are optional CPU upgrades
http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c03052147-1.pdf , on page 36.
http://ark.intel.com/compare/52227,53474,50067
These CPU's are all of the same "family" , Sandy Bridge 45Watt models.


My problem is that HWMonitor is seeing my cpu frequencies constant clipping to the max.
I doubt this is normal behaviour , see attached picture.

So probably something is wrong with my ssdt.aml or dsdt.aml file.
I have no idea what could be wrong with my DSDT or SSDT file , which are on the EFI partition in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched

I have attached these files , so if somebody could have a look at it , and explain what is going wrong , I would be very pleased.
Thank you for your time and effort.

Almost all hardware is working , no card reader , no problem.

The card reader works if you insert a compatible memory card. The driver is old, so it is limited to older/smaller memory cards.

Could not test VGA ,

VGA patch not recommended. Best disabled/removed.

I upgraded my cpu to a 2760QM , which is a quad core CPU option in the service manual with the 90Watt PSU.

Make sure you regenerate SSDT.

My problem is that HWMonitor is seeing my cpu frequencies constant clipping to the max.

No idea what you mean by "clipping to the max".

You should test pstates with AppleIntelInfo.kext.

HP Probook Support? Quad core CPU Problem.

Thank you for your quick response.

I do not use VGA , as far as I know , no specific kext loaded for this

Regenerate SSDT ?
How ?
Which tool ?
This cpu was installed before a fresh install of El Capitan.

Clipping to the max , see attached picture , right hand corner (HWMonitor) history graphs second box green graph.
Well actually all four cores are in the same graph , covered by each other , so you do not see them.
The frequencies , always jump to the max ,no matter the load , for all four cores , in sync to each other.
The cores do not switch to / from each other , to divide the load , to keep temperatures in check.
It look likes all four core frequencies are synced , all four cpu frequency graphs cover each other most of the time.

Once again , thank you for you time , effort and advice.

The patch is in your config.plist.

Regenerate SSDT ?
How ?

The Probook installer provides an SSDT generator (ssdtPRgen.sh).

Which tool ?
This cpu was installed before a fresh install of El Capitan.

Then no need to regenerate as PBI already generated one for that CPU.

Something you installed is causing the CPU usage spikes.

Pstate is global to all cores.
