I don't see what to put where? - It's not easy way, you should find your own SSDT table with p-states(AIDA in Windows) and put p-states data in your dsdt.aml

And where did you get that program from? - SMC Monitor, it show which p-states and c-state available.

I don't think you need this for Gigabyte boards.Just a stock aicpupm and a proper DSDT.
Dam i want a gigabyte board too  

BTW my speedstep results...
Lion 10.7.2
smbios:imac12,2
patched AICPUPM
stepper copied from MacBookPro 8,3
with SSDT.aml for I5 2400 (stock)
PStatesReached: 16 17 21 25 30 32 33  (almost there )

gigabyte mb is the worst choice - a lot of work with DSDT and never guaranted to have 100% working. Asus and MSI with patched BIOS and you can biuld 100% vanilla system.

I make patched BIOSes for SB mobo. Everything is working like charm. For P8Z68 Deluxe after flashing BIOS geekbench results increased by 1500 points compared to SpeedStepper. The same for MSI.

Sounds interesting, can you post any more info?

actually the best mb choice for a sandy bridge hackintosh system is any Gigabyte with a Z68 chip

On my gigabyte ( z68 ) don't work ( on Snow) but on Lion working perfect...because?

Because Lion came out with sandy bridge Macs and i think 10.6.8 Snow Leopard supports sb too.

Hi guys, Im a bit puzzled. Asus p8p67 Le. I tweaked the bios successfully (thanks for that) but I realized that C & P states are not generated:

The thing is that msrdumper shows P states:

12/2/11 11:58:38.000 AM kernel: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 16 23 35 36 37

What is actually happening? Is chameleon actually generating P states?
Thanks for the light.

Add cpu definitions in your DSDT...something like

Scope (_PR)
	{
		Processor (P000, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06)

this is for a 4core cpu....

how about the patch for 10.7.3 AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext?

Just a quick update, yes there will be a patch for 1.7.3 but I won't support every developer preview.

Msrdumper.kext sadly only shows 2 states.

Thanks in advance guys.

Are P-States C-States Working?
Even the system is stressed the results are the same! 9 9 9)
I have system from signature with no use of DSDT!
Enabled All correct functions on the BIOS. Speedstep, S3, C2,C3,C4
MacPro 5,1 SMBIOS
Bootloader: Chameleon 2.1 RC5
Thanks in advance!

EDIT2: Anyone have a proper DSDT for Gigabyte EP45T-DS3R? BIOS F4C CPU Intel Core2Duo E8400?
Sleep also doesen't work, it gets sleep but fans and mouse/keyboard remain powered on!
These are my temps, can confirm speedstep, c-states, p-states, workin'?

Any help 'll be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Finaly use these settings better with the latest chameleon (use champlist for easy install)

OK, looking good ~!

Running 10.7.2 on Gateway NV57U (set as MacBook Pro 8,1) with Core i5 2410M 2.3GHz.  Just a slightly doctored DSDT (no SSDT mods at all).
I'm simply using Chimera v1.6 w/ GenerateCStates=Yes and GeneratePStates=Yes and I get ...

Dec  5 16:14:53 haxmax48 kernel[0]: MSRDumper CoreMulti(8)

Sleep is working as well

Very nice and easy.

Only I'm not so crazy about these sort of hacks cuz' as soon as we do an Apple Software Update and download a new AICPUPM.kext, it's KP time again.  Anybody out there have a nice recipe or at least a few pointers on bin modding the system BIOS.  This seems the better long term solution as BIOS upgrades are not nearly as important or prevalent as OS updates.  Particularly for a notebook computer.

Anyway, nice work !

Thanks for the tips mate. Fixed the dsdt line, compiled ok and used the ssdt revoboot made for me (autogenerated one) but sadly same happens. I have found that  by using macbookpro 8,2 drops me more p states than imac12,1. So its a winner.
Still unclear why I have the c evaluation failed.
AppleLPC & AppleSMBUS loads ok.
