Booted in safe mode and it was fixed so I went into S/L/E and removed some kexts that I didn't need, repaired permissions and rebooted! All fixed now !

----------------------------------------------------

Hey guys,

I'm running Chameleon 2RC5 r700 - Kabyl's new boot.

As far as I understood, one of the new features of Chameleon 2RC5 was detecting processor speed. It's quite odd but under "About This Mac" / System Profiler it's showing up as 1.6Ghz but it's actually at 3.8Ghz. I will check if it's my Generate C and P states in boot.plist.

Anyone got any ideas?

Here's System Profiler:
Code:
Hardware Overview:
  Model Name:	Mac Pro
  Model Identifier:	MacPro3,1
  Processor Name:	Intel Core i7
  Processor Speed:	1.60 GHz
  Number Of Processors:	1
  Total Number Of Cores:	4
  L2 Cache (per core):	256 KB
  L3 Cache:	8 MB
  Memory:	6 GB
  Processor Interconnect Speed:	4.29 GT/s
  Boot ROM Version:	MultiBeast.tonymacx86.com
  SMC Version (system):	1.30f3
  Serial Number (system):	G88451235J4

So I installed BDMesg using a Chameleon package installer to just install bdmesg and here's 3 places that I can see my CPU info and nothing mentions 1.6Ghz.

CPU: TSCFreq: 3800MHz
CPU: FSBFreq: 200MHz
CPU: CPUFreq: 3800MHz

After taking another look at my BDMESG

it says:

Current clock = 0Mhz ?

I'm also using the latest FakeSMC - could that have anything to do with it?

I've tried editing my smbios.plist to add the processor speed in there but no luck !!!

<key>SMmaximalclock</key>
<string>3800</string>

I've repaired permissions and rebooted and it still says 1.6 Ghz !

I tested on my P55 using 10.6.5, FakeSMC with plugins and Kabyl's boot and my CPU speed is being reported correctly.

I found out a fix and meant to edit this most earlier today but when I came on the forum was down.

I booted in safe mode (trying to fix something else) and noted that my CPU speed was shown correctly. So a bit of searching through my S/L/E and I removed some kexts that weren't needed, repaired and reported - all fixed.

Thanks for investigating for me tho. If I hadn't had to be in safe mode for the iBoot fix this afternoon I wouldn't have noticed it.
