HW Monitor shows CPU Core at 1.616 V for i7 3770. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

First off, this reading has ranged anywhere from 1.632 V to 1.608 V since I built my Hack 2 years ago. This system is not over clocked.

Should I be concerned with these readings? I'm running Mac OS 10.9.5.

Thanks in advance!!

Have you implemented Native CPU Powermanagement? Attach ioreg. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-make-a-copy-of-ioreg.58368/

Here you go. Thanks in advance!!

Using incorrect SMBIOS. Should be using iMac 13,2, AppleLPC isn't loading neither is X86PlatformPlugin. ACPI isn't patched.

Thanks! So is that 3 step process outlined by Toledo on adding native PWM support to Mavericks all I need to do or is there another way?

Thanks again!!

No. You need to implement Native Powermanagement and get AppleLPC to load.

So will changing the SMBIOS be all that's involved?

Of course. Your currently using Mac Pro 3,1 which is incorrect should be using iMac 13,2. You will need to Spoof a compatible Device ID for Apple LPC. So id try pci8086,1e44.

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "Dragon", "SSDT-LPC", 0x00003000)
{
    Method (_SB.PCI0.LPCB._DSM, 4, NotSerialized)  // _DSM: Device-Specific Method
    {
        If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
        {
            Return (Buffer (One)
            {
                 0x03                                          
            })
        }

        Return (Package (0x02)
        {
            "compatible",
            "pci8086,1e44"
        })
    }
}

Thanks! is that code you included meant for the Terminal app?

Using Multibeast's Custom System Definitions, I was able to change MacPro 3,1 to iMac 13,2 and also deleted two extensions from the the S/L/E folder(AppleTyMCE.kext and AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext).

Unfortunately, that didn't load either X86PlatformPlugin or AppleLPC. No change in CPU Core V.

I tried this on a cloned version of my system drive. What am I missing??
