macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

[AnotherMaximusGene]

1. Problem Description

Hello, i think there may be a problem with my power management. The max number of P-States i have observed after i implemented the technique described was about 7 or 8. iGPU P-States seem quite what i was expecting for. My rig is open throughout the day and i leave the AppleIntelInfot.kext loaded. The usage is quite normal. Daily software development or browsing staff. I also run geekbench with the kext loaded. The max number of p-states never exceed 7 or 8

2. Hackintosh Details

OS: macOS 10.12.6,
MOBO: Asus Maximus Gene VIII, Bios Version: 2202
Processor: Intel i7 6700k (i have never overclocked it),
Graphics: Embedded intel hd 530.

3. Guide:
I followed the steps described in this thread. I also had to add injector.kext found on another thread, in order to enable applelpc.

4. IOREG Copy attached

5. AppleIntelInfo output attached

6. Console log not attached - could not save it and not sure what exactly is requested

7. intel-power-gadget

8. Clover files

1. config.plist -> attached
2. dpcimanager boot log -> not attached . When i try to download dpcimanger from sourceforge there is a warning about malware detection so i am a little concerned about downloading it.
3. dsdt , ssdt -> attached
4. screenshot of kexts installed in efi/clover/kexts/other attached

Is there anything wrong? Something i have missed? It seems that it is working but the cpu states seem tooo few.. Thanks in advance for your help and patience..

Edit

Uploaded new ioreg as requested by toleda. I also downloaded dpci manager, opened the app and navigated to misc boot log.

Different pstates expected with no SSDT (X86PlatformPlugin not loaded) vs. SSDT (X86PlatformPlugin loaded).

Ok. So is it still better to use the SSDT even though doing something mundane makes the cores hit max freq? (the power consumption seems to be in line.. i think) Having no SSDT makes it behave similar to windows where doing fairly simple stuff demands lower frequencies

Updated with a correct ioreg file. Thanks for your time!!

 

[AnotherMaximusGene]

False alarm, i used your appleintelinfo.kext and everything works flawlessly!!! Still thanks a lot for your time and generally for your efforts for hackintosh community!!!

macOS Native CPU/IGPU Power Management

Native macOS power management delivers the best combination of processor and graphics performance and efficiency. The ingredients are an installed processor a XCPM enabling ssdt, a compatible system definition and the native power management kext. Native power management does not require specific BIOS settings or anything more than installing one power management ssdt. Credit, PluginType=1 only technique by RehabMan.

To be clear, native power management is not mandatory. The consequences are not severe. Performance is similar, however, higher temps (~10 C), more power (5-10 W) and sleep problems are likely.

I'm afraid I'm not understanding the instructions at all. Do I just need to replace my SSDT in the patched folder with your new one? It seems like there's a lot of instructions but doesn't actually say to do much.

At the bottom, you mention that the frequency scale is wrong with clover, can you clarify that?

You say to set plugintype=0, but in the opening you say to set it to 1. Which is it?

The are the readings from the intel power tool chart you shared before or after PM? they seem really really high.

 

[dracon]

For installation, in a nutshell, remove any PM SSDT you already have (like from PikerAlpha's script) and drop in the SSDT for XCPM and disable any plugin-type you have defined in Clover's configuration (the SSDT takes care of adding plugin-type=1 so it should be removed from Clover to avoid conflicts).

The rest of the instructions are for gathering before and after data to compare afterwards and verify the changes took place.

seems like there's a lot of instructions but doesn't actually say to do much.

What is not clear?
Post #1:
6. Install XCPM ssdt

• Remove EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched/SSDT.aml (ssdtPRgen ssdt, if installed)
  
• Download: ssdt_xcpm.zip (click link, click View Raw)
• Install Downloads/SSDT-XCPM.aml
  • Clover: EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched/SSDT-XCPM.aml

mention that the frequency scale is wrong with clover, can you clarify that?

For users that see an incorrect frequency range, the fix is noted

You say to set plugintype=0, but in the opening you say to set it to 1. Which is it?

macOS/XCPM: plugintype=1 is required. The guide disables the Clover setting and injects the property with the attached ssdt.

are the readings from the intel power tool chart you shared before or after PM? they seem really really high.

Look closely, note when Cinebench/GPU starts and when it ends and when Cinebench/CPU starts. Benchmarking, by design, stresses the CPU and/or GPU. I don't run benchmark tools without native PM enabled.

 

[controlbase]

Hi I think I'm having not good results with ssdt, with Logic Pro X opened, no tasks runnings, the cpu freq keep maxed out at turbo freq, and I have turbo disabled in bios. with transmission, safari and other apps, the cpu freq going up a lot.
The cpu is set to 4ghz in bios, with turbo disabled (4.4 ghz). I'm getting a lot of kp since Sierra, I'm not using Xcode, only clover configurator and plist edit pro for editing. If I boot with unibeast usb (just ethernet loaded), i'm getting nice pm states... also logic x and other apps, and everything about pm looks good, maybe config file get corrupted?

ioreg and clover zipped + some screenshots attached
Thanks!
