It helps enable power management for x79 c60x boards. for other sockets i'm not sure.

I had updated to a 6,1 Definition once before, but i noticed my system started to lockup with regards to graphics. this was on 10.9.1, also i have the notorious 560Ti fermi, running the fix patch. there was a special 10.9.1 update that came specifically for the late 2013 mac pro that i remember cause this issue after using that update,

i wonder if u encountered any such issuse now with 10.9.2, and when u say enabling power management, are u referring to the sleep and wake fuctions? or cpu specific?

Thanks

I had the same problem on 10.9.1 running system def 6,1 but I never did the specific 2013 update for the mac pro. I had problems where flash, quicktime, java were freezing on me.
On 10.9.2 all issues have been resolved for me.

Have you removed nullcpupowermanagement.kext? I installed that when I ran multibeast, and my CPU jumps back and forth between 1.2Ghz and 3.5 Ghz. If I remove nullcpupowermanagement.kext will speedstepping work? Everything seems to be working fine as far as sleep/wake/audio/ethernet with my system.

Here is my org.chameleon.boot.plist:

and my smbios.plist:

running System definition 6,1 with GA-X79-UP4, 3930k @ 3.5 Ghz, OS 10.9.2, EVGA GTX 770 2Gb. Is there anything I should add or change to these to optimize my system? Also, how do I get the CPU to run at 3.8Ghz?

Thanks

check out shilohhs guide to getting PM working. and yes I did remove nullcpupowermanagement.kext
although some other sites i was reading were saying that Gigabyte boards might be stuck for some reason at x12 and x32. can always post on shilohhs thread and he might be able to assist you farther. can always google: DMG Officially Updated For Power Management and follow the link there. good info on that site for x79 systems
