Hi, all. This is my first message. First, I want to apologise in case this is a dumb question, or is already solved. I’ve spent several days trying to find a solution.

This is my system:
- Processor Intel Core i7-950
- Mobo ASUS P6T WS PRO
- 24 GB RAM DDR3
- Kingston SSDNow UV400 for Mac OS Sierra
- Kingston SSDNow V300 for Windows 10
- GeForce GTX 970
- 3 monitors

This is my problem:
Apparently Sierra works fine and I’ve been working for two months with Logic Pro X with no problems, but a week ago I had to use Lightroom CC and Final Cut Pro X and my system was surprisingly slow, and indeed in Geekbench the Windows score is twice the OS X one (https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/2661471?baseline=2715310)

I’ve updated my BIOS and I’ve disabled SpeedStep (I didn’t find any “EIST” option).
What could be wrong?

Thanks in advance!

P. Mora.
 
@C2Onyx, please update your profile (personal details) with your build (Motherboard or Model, CPU and Graphics Card).

I'm sorry BreBo. Honestly, I didn't read the rules...
Thanks for the warning. Now my profile is updated.

Any clue about my problem? Yesterday I realized that Logic Pro X doesn't work fine either in projects over 10 tracks, so my hackintosh is entirely useless... My hardware is not amazing but my benchmark result is suitable for Pentium processors not for i7 ones :(

Perhaps you should try a different System Definition.
Do you use a SSDT for CPU Power Management?
 
Using a SSDT wouldn't make it faster would it?
 
Thanks for your replies!
All the SSDT fields are empty in my clover configuration.
Should I modify something?

C'mon! No clues?
Didn't someone have the same problem?
The SMBIOS system I have configured is an iMac 14,2 and my OS X version is 10.12.3. Should I change something?
My hardware should be fully compatible. I'm so frustrated...

I think most users with Intel X58 run the MacPro5,1 System Definition.

I'm gonna try it.
I'll let you know if it works.
Thanks!!
