Yes, my main desire to use the iMac17,1 definition was to try and match the chipset as closely as possible. At the end of the day, I ended up just using iMac14,2 because it was easier and Handoff/Continuity/etc works.
What you see sounds like the same as what I get. 900MHz is the lowest I've ever seen my system get when idling. It is the same when I use iMac17,1.
When using the HD 530, sleep is know to be broken. I have my HD 530 enabled in Bios but no monitor connected to it and sleep is working.
Thanks!
14,2 seems to be working well for me so far so I'll just stick with it for a while.
I've opened up a different thread to figure out if I've got the 530 installed correctly. I've heard of the wake problems from sleep but hadn't heard about problems getting to sleep in the first place:

Thanks for your guide! I'm very technically literate but this is totally new territory for me and it really helped.
