ML: Native Ivy Bridge CPU and GPU Power Management

[crushers82]

A is for CPU
B is for GPU. If you have both integrated and discrete, do both GPUs.

Toleda please give me your SSDT.I have a same CPU.
Thanks.

Toleda please give me your SSDT.

I suggest you make the SSDT for your system. See Post #1.

This is not a 10.8.5 issue. I was facing the exact same thing where the GPU would not throttle down when an app or game or even the browser or a benchmark triggered it to the max. After a lot of testing and even installing 10.9 GM to try and isolate the problem, the issue remained. I found out that the solution is rather simple. When you do the graphics card edits and if using plist editor pro, you can do the edits without reinstalling the kext. I have tested it for quite a while now and it hasn't happened since. This is what I did.

I applied the edits to the AGPM and copied the edited kext to the desktop (you can copy it first to the desktop and then do the edits also). I installed the kext after edited and restarted the computer with the -f -v flags. After it booted I restarted it again without the flags and bingo. The card throttles up and down without any issue.

This works for me, I hope it works also for you guys. I have a GTX650 and I replaced the GTX650M on the iMac 13,1 smbios

Update: After much testing, the only app that does not let the GPU idle once used is Quick Look. There is a know bug about this app.

Hi, how do i have a chance to enter my settings if this happens?

Btw i'm on Mavericks now and i don't know if you need to update it first.

The Mountain Lion ssdt is good for Mavericks.

Also upgraded to 10.9 with Giacomoleopardo's build
CPU states no problems but got stuck with the GPU (HD4000) as AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext does not contain an info.plist file

Does anyone know/suspect how this could be resolved?

Info.plist is a hidden file. Search unhide files.

 

[jns1986]

Info.plist is a hidden file. Search unhide files.

Thank you!

For those interested: Houdini doesn't work with Mavericks.

Only way it would show hidden files was with this terminal command:

> say Hidden items disabled
> defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
> else
> say Hidden items enabled
> defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
> fi

I was using something else called like funer or something, it worked fine on unhiding files (loaded up in taskbar with a circle if not being used, circle with bullseye if being used..) it worked perfect.. I then re imaged my drive and forgot to back that app up and for the life of me can't find it. Does anyone else know a hiding/showing file app called something that starts with an f ? It wasn't Houdini and worked fine with Mavericks.

Have you tried ShowAllFiles? http://www.tonymacx86.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=10
