Quick Guide to Generate a SSDT for CPU Power Management

[Harckan]

Hello everyone, everything good?

I build a pc to use with macOS, it's working fine but there is something that can get better. My PCU is i5 7600K OC 4.5GHz, I make SSDT.aml explained in this thread with beta branch. I run GPU Intel Graphics HD630 integrated CPU, And my minimum clock is 0.00GHz and not the 350MHz that appears in the AppleIntelInfo.kext procedure in the terminal , as shown in the picture

My MacBook Pro have clock minimum the 550 MHz constant

I have little stuttering in inertia scroll and any animations in OS.

Is it possible to fix this problem?

Thank's for all

hi, can anyone help me with that one? 'system-type' may be set improperly (1 instead of 2)
What does it mean? I have Asus Z97 deluxe mainboard and i7-4790k CPU.

Please help!

I wouldn't worry to much. The SSDT.aml is compiled with no Errors.

Even after patching AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement I still get CPU ratios that are far too low:

Anyone have any ideas? I should be getting CPU ratios from 12-33.

My HP 8300 i53470 seems to have lots of speeds available but are the cores frequencies meant to go up and down individually? Intel Power Gadget shows only one frequency but HWMonitor displays four lines for the Core's frequency which always change at the same time so the frequency of each of the Cores is always at same speed as the others.
A problem?
A closer look at the numbers as they changed and looking at the Frequency Logs shows them displaying variations in frequency for For Core 1, which although normally the same as the others, Core 1 shows wild number changes which the others dont - eg - 8 GHz and above.

Newer CPUs require the beta branch.

Hi @RehabMan,

Briefly, I downloaded ssdtPRGen scripts (beta) and generate the ssdt for this MacBookPro
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz (MacBook Pro).

I get. the following output :

" 1mWarning[0m: 'cpu-type' may be set improperly (0x0605 instead of 0x0905)
- Clover users should read https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/CPU#cpu_type[1m
Error[0m: board-id [Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6] not supported by Kaby Lake – check SMBIOS data / use the -target option"

I copied the ssdt.aml to clover patch and successfully restarted.

The cpu idle reading (intel power gadget) are now at 1.3Ghz. Without the ssdt.aml it is around 1Ghz.

Not understanding enough of the ssdtPRGen complex beast I need a bit of guidance here please:

Is it possible to fiddle with these setting and get CPU to idle at around 800 ?
Also the turbo states for this cpu can go up to 3.1Ghz. How do I set it to get up to 3 Ghz?
Lastly, is there settings that I need to set in clover config ?

My thinking above is incorrect.

So @RehabMan, please forgive.

I used this link https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/skylake-hwp-enable.214915/
to set

• HWPEnable - Check
• UseARTFrequency - Check
• HWPValue

See attached image. I get cpu idle around 0.5Ghz and 3.1 Ghz max for baby lake

Will this script work for Kaby Lake Processors?

Super basic question, how do you tell if this worked?
