NoSmokingBandit Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I've been having a few panics lately and from what I can figure out it is being caused by my cpu overheating. It just started after I began watching rather large MKV videos, which I know can be taxing on a cpu. I've installed Temperature Monitor, which I know is not 100% accurate, but my temp jumps from 42ºC to 55+ºC in a matter of minutes while watching the large files. The problem is that my fans don't kick into a higher speed to compensate. They do when I'm in windows 7, but nothing happens on the mac side. I have nullcpupowermanagement.kext installed, and I have c-state and p-states enabled in chameleon (though I'm pretty foggy about what they actually do), but nothing is working. My fans always run at a low speed. I'm running 10.8.2, with a Q8400cpu in a GA-EP45T-UD3LR mobo. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 nullcpupowermanagement disables CPU powermanagement, you should get rid of it. enabling power states via *.boot.plist doesn't do anything when CPU powermanagement is disabled (duh).

NoSmokingBandit Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks, kind of. I've looked all over but I found no explanation of power states, but I guess I should have known what they do anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
