i7-980x and speedstep - A little help please

[rabbit74]

Sorry I should know the answer to this and should have tried speedstep long ago, but just haven't.

Is speedstep necessary on i7-980x?

I recently enabled it in the bios and have added the following to org.chameleon.Boot.plist:

        <key>GenerateCStates</key>
        <string>Yes</string>
        <key>GeneratePStates</key>
        <string>Yes</string>

Is that enough or do I need to also make some changes to DSDT and add an SSDT?

Thanks.

System specs in sig
edit - I should mention I am running stock speeds.

Feedback so far.

I enabled speedstep in the bios and added code above to boot.plist

nothing else and the DSDT is from the Database.

Now running cooler 5-9c

Seems to have made some difference.
