Is there a decoder for what CST Info means?

 

It would be really useful if we had a CState residency reporter like the Linux turbostat.

 

sample turbostat output

 

CPU GHz TSC %c0 %c1 %c3 %c6 %pc3 %pc6 %pc7

avg 1.64 3.30 1.77 11.44 0.67 86.13 0.00 0.00 0.00

0 1.64 3.30 16.40 61.73 3.92 17.95 0.00 0.00 0.00

1 1.62 3.30 0.13 0.22 0.04 99.61 0.00 0.00 0.00

2 1.61 3.30 0.07 0.12 0.04 99.77 0.00 0.00 0.00

3 1.62 3.30 0.03 0.27 0.01 99.68 0.00 0.00 0.00

4 1.62 3.30 0.05 0.07 0.00 99.88 0.00 0.00 0.00

5 1.64 3.30 0.03 0.10 0.00 99.86 0.00 0.00 0.00

6 1.66 3.30 4.23 73.90 3.92 17.95 0.00 0.00 0.00

7 1.63 3.30 0.04 0.31 0.04 99.61 0.00 0.00 0.00

8 1.60 3.30 0.05 0.14 0.04 99.77 0.00 0.00 0.00

 

From this you can see that most of the treads are in C6. C6 is the lowest power mode. Package CState appear to be disabled. The second column shows the running frequency.

Hi oldnapalm,

 

I tried this application,works fine for me ;)

 

I use FakeSMC.kext version 2.7.7,which contains 5 PlugIns sensor.

Means that the options in preferences #KEY,CIST,0SK0,$Num,NVPR,BALG,LSSB,LSOF,REV,MOST,ect ect....

 

 

 

 

Another great job oldnaplm... :(

@blackosx, can you read the keys you know exist, even if they are not listed, using smc binary?

./smc -k TCAH -r

Hi oldnapalm

 

I like your thinking here, and I think it will as el coniglio has shown. However I won't be back on my iMac until Monday so I can't give you any feedback until then.

IntelCPUMonitor get BUS frequency from DeviceTree where it is appeared due to Bootloader.

It may be wrong.

Thanks, Slice.

 

That was really the problem here, FSB detected by Chameleon was wrong. I configured SMexternalclock in smbios.plist and IntelCPUMonitor shows correct frequencies now.

nice.. can you tell me what i have to add in my smbios.plist ?

 

I use 150mhz BLCK/FSB on my Core i5 750 on SL 10.6.6

You should add 150, I guess.

 

I have a C2D 2.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, and added this to smbios.plist

	<key>SMmaximalclock</key>
<string>2000</string>
<key>SMexternalclock</key>
<string>200</string>

no difference with :

<key>SMexternalclock</key>

<string>150</string>

 

The Calculation of the CPU Frequenzies is still wrong in SMCMonitor.

Also the CPU Clock Rates are not based on the real Speedstep/Turbo Clocks. SMCMonitor is always Off and shows Idle or Load Frequenzies where is a completely different Clock Rate in Realitiy (SMCMonitor shows 1011Mhz where 3.150Mhz is right), Strange.

Can you post a screenshot of the "P & C states" window?

 

Actually all calculation is done by FakeSMC (IntelCPUMonitor), SMC Monitor just reads the keys from FakeSMC.

 

I attached a Screen of P&C States fro my Core i5 .

Accordings to Voltage changes and Frequenzies in MSR Tools native Speedstep/Turbo works without Problems from Bios Settings. I dont use DSDT edits or Chameleon C&P states.

 

The P&C States Table looks normal to me ? All standard Frequenzies up to 2268 Mhz (standard for Core i5 750)

 

But why IntelCPUMonitor/FakeSMC calculates so wrong Values ?

Hi guys, i have a simple question, witch kexts needes for control fan speed?

 

I have fakesmc 3.1 and i monitoring my hardware but i have no values for fan speed. I have also ACPIMonitor - IntelCPUMonitor - NVClockx - SuperIOFamily (with IT87x, PC8739x, W836x )

 

macpro-di-fiox:fiox$ ./SMC_util2 -f

Total fans in system: 0

 

Image smc_monitor

 

 

I have also speedstep vanilla in my dsdt

 

Solutions?

 

Thanks :(

 

 

p.s. edited

Hi oldnapalm and first thanks for your reply :(

 

 

I have ACPIMonitor but I have not edited dsdt for this

 

I have also SuperIOFamily with IT87x, PC8739x, W836x

 

How do I determine the chip on my motherboard?On startup i have this message

 

W836x: found Winbond W83627DHG

W836x.kext is on SuperIOFamily.kext, however i have install W836x and remove SuperIOFamily, and change values of FANINLIMIT but no result

 

Now on startup i do not have this message

 

W836x: found Winbond W83627DHG

 

I took the W836x.kext from SuperIOFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns - I installed it - I changed values in Info.plist

Works :(

Total fans in system: 2

Fan #0:
Actual speed : 1016 Key[F0Ac]
Minimum speed: 0
Maximum speed: 0
Safe speed   : 0
Target speed : 0
Mode		 : auto

Fan #1:
Actual speed : 2428 Key[F1Ac]
Minimum speed: 0
Maximum speed: 0
Safe speed   : 0

Hi oldnapalm,

 

I do not understand this zero? Is something wrong here? Thanks !

If you are using Chameleon RC5 to generate P-states, it's normal, it injects zeros in those positions.

 

perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep SSDT-1|") or die; while(<CMD>) { chomp; if($_ =~ /\"SSDT-1\.?\d?\"=<([^>]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP, "|xxd -r -p > SSDT-1.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }'

Thanks man !

 

I have only one more question!

Trying to get a fan display. But after computer restart, it disappears!

 

W836x: found Winbond W83627DHG-P

 

I deleted everything except W836x and I made edit in the plist:

 

<key>FANINLIMIT</key>

<integer>4</integer>

 

And of course fakesmc 3.1!

 

See picture please... What is wrong here?

 

Many Thanks ! :(

What do you mean "it disappears"?

 

Did you update kext cache after editing the plist?

 

I use SuperIOFamily and FakeSMC in /Extra/Extensions.

As oldnapalm had already noted, the FakeSMC 3.1.0 is intended to load from the /Extra/Extensions directory rather than the /System/Library/Extensions. While those directories are normally interchangeable, this is an important distinction.
