ObsidianX Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I've hacked up the ACPICPUThrottle.kext to support full-range CPU throttling on my AMD Turion X2 TK-55 and would love to hear any successes with others wanting AMD throttling. The only thing I can say for myself is that I don't have video support so when I drop to 800MHz it gets very jerky. So if you happen to have a real graphics card and want to give this a go please let me know how it works out for you To install: Download this: ACPICPUThrottle_Startup.zip Move extracted folder to /Library/StartupItems/ Reboot Fix Permissions Reboot Again Voila, you'll have it going. If you'd rather test before setting it up as a startup item then just navigate into the folder thats extracted from the zip and run: sudo chown -R root:wheel ACPICPUThrottle.kext sudo chmod -R root:wheel ACPICPUThrottle.kext sudo kextload -v ACPICPUThrottle.kext sudo dmesg dmesg is to check the output to see if everything went alright. If everything did, then run: sudo ./CPUThrottleCtrl -v to run the throttling daemon. Let me know how it goes! Cheers! ObsidianX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonlazer Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Works great for me! It throttles it fine, although I suffer from the same issue as you due to the unsupported graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_c Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi, Tried your CPU Throttler yesterday. Worked fine for me - I saw the messages changing the CPU's freq in a terminal. But then I have a tk-55 too - so it would work fine for me. No GUI jerkyness - I have a nForce 6100 which has no drivers to enable QE/CI. But everything works in slow motion at lower freq - the maximising and minimising animations, the fisheye effect on the dock - everything seems slow. That is different from and Intel mac where the CPU freq reduces and the machine slows down - but the GUI doesn't get into slow motion. Not sure if your Throtller has anything to do with it though. HAven't tried to see how much it improves battery perf. Will post results when I get to measure them. BTW - I'm running 10.5.5 with modbin 9.4.0 kernel. Good work.

mercurysquad Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 That's great - it might be worthwhile to port the AMD support to IntelEnhancedSpeedStep.kext (link in my sig), since ACPICPUThrottler.kext is very old and buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvexus Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 hey this fix repair the heat and cooler work to full speed? Add to guide !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvexus Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I try this, and make it slow because no NVIDIA Graphics installed :/ WE NEED 7150m Any place or people to make it the kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard.xsi Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 so does it mean my x2 3600 will be "C&Qable" without any gui slowdown? say, if i have a supported graphic card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferywu Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Thank a lot. Using leo4allv3 all problem still exist. But after using leo4allv5 everything run perfectly. amd 3800+ available state 1000,1800,2000 kernel voodoo_beta_2c when autoclock used, running at 1000mhz no more sound problem, and dock or app animation mini/maxi-mize goes fast, no slow motion again. But when i down the clock to 1800 max from bios. it won't goest to 900,1600,1800 state just like at other OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djaleeproduktama Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 work fine for me..thanks..guys.. but i have problem, on system profile my amd x2 3600 cpu detected intel core 2 duo, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digi2112 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/ NVKush is the best out for nvidia cards. Setting device ID in 3 to 4 kexts is a must. Trying your throttle support now, on a amd X2 6000+ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi2112 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Tried it, works, but there are some slow down issues. iTunes takes about 10 - 15 secs to start playing a song correctly, without skips or static. Dock is slow. Dmesg shows the different power states the cpu enters, but I guess it is not smooth or not fast enough when the OS needs it. Hell, I paid for a dual core 3.2 ghz processor, might as well always be using it. The fan is a little loud, but I will deal with a slightly loud fan rather than slow motion effects and sound and video that starts off slow. Reading other messages here, it seem like this works for people not using hardware accelerated graphics. And if you use a laptop and wish to save your battery. Since I am not on a laptop, I will just deal with it. Thanks for the throttle, I hope it can be fixed to properly work with AMD. Again, look up NVKush if you need hardware accelerated graphics on a nvidia card. NVinject works too, but not as well as NVKush. Let me know if you need help, Setting the device ID is not that hard.

0SCAR Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I got a problem with my HP Pavillion 9580ed on Leopard 10.5.8. I got everything working, except of the CPU management/fan. My laptop makes a lot of noise and gets pretty hot, so I need to install the voodoopower.kext from Superhai. I recognised it works because the fan gets spinning and my laptop makes less noise after install, but I also get huge system/mouse lag. Voodoopowermini.kext doesnt give me the lag, but in that case I the CPU management doesn't work; Laptop still makes the noise and fan doesn't work well. Anybody got a fix for this? Maby another kext or does somebody know the problem? Maby it is a conflict with my nVidia Inject 0.2 128mb, but I've tried other graphic drivers with no help.

ObsidianX I installed ot on my HP dv6640ew (turion tl-58 1.9 ghz) fan runs quietly but I suffer from slow graphic effects (got NVKush) and sound jerks in iTunes ;/ Does anybody know any way to make fan quiet without making graphic slow?

byovic Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thought i'd add something, probly not the place but my hackintosh skills are still novice so the next best thing i have is some photoshopin skills. Made this logo to be cut for my acer and i figured might as well share since i found nothing like it when i went lookin for it. I want to give this a shot but only distro i could get goining on my acer was 10.6.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
