Hey everyone,
has anyone tried or managed to overclock Intel's IGPU under macOS?
I tried with my 8700K and although the overclock is detected under windows, it doesn't work in macOS (i.e. always capped at the max turbo boost of 1.2Ghz). I also tried increasing the "BoostPState" multipliers in the info.plist inside AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext in S/L/E, to match the overclocked multiplier set in BIOS, but that didn't work either.
Finally, I extracted all the loaded ACPI tables using Rehabman's patchmatic and went looking for anything related to the IGPU frequency, but couldn't find anything obvious (I didn't really know what I was looking for though, so I went looking in the dark).
I know overclocking the IGPU won't yield much, but I thought that it would be a nice exercise to see if it can be done.
Thanks for reading and for any responses.
