Power Management Problem...?

[Fly1ngSquid]

I'm not completely sure, but I believe I might have a problem with power management on OS X Yosemite.

The system is installed onto a Lenovo G780 (2182) laptop with an i7 Ivy Bridge CPU at 2.2GHz, with HD4000 graphics.

Now, even with nothing running but the desktop, the CPU reaches max capacity, and at times will even go over the clock speed. (I have seen up to 2.87GHz)

​

This graph was taken at just the desktop, with nothing else running. Obviously either HWMonitor is incorrect, or something is wrong with the configuration. The massive battery consumption leads me to believe it's the configuration.

Attached is the IOReg and SSDT. Please advise.

Looks correct to me. Your CPU will go to 3.2Ghz with turboboost: http://ark.intel.com/products/71670/Intel-Core-i7-3632QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz-BGA

Alright. Nice!

But should usage be that high with only the desktop running? I'm concerned that it's running at that high of a frequency with nothing that should be CPU-intensive running. Only thing I can think of is hardware virtualization.

To compare, at windows 8 desktop, the highest usage I will see is 2%, and that's with Rainmeter and all my background processes running.

It depends on what is going on in the background. If you have a lot of data files for spotlight to index...

Use Activity Monitor to determine what is using CPU resources.

That makes sense. It was a fresh install, and I did transfer my Logic Pro.

Use Activity Monitor to determine what is using CPU resources.

Will do! Thank you for your help as always RehabMan. You're the best.
