Stingray88 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) For the most part I've had a 100% working build since 10.8.2. I've done every point update and nothing has broken until now. (Well except iMessage, but we know that's a different story) First my build - Chimera 4.1.0 Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H (F14 bios) 3770K @ 4.5GHz Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB 32GB 1600MHz RAM OC to 1867MHz 256GB Samsung 840 Pro In the past I've never had an issue with all of my system stats showing up in HWMonitor or iStat Menus so long as FakeSMC Plugins are installed. My CPU has always reported at the correct frequency under HWMonitor and iStat, and my RAM showed up as the correct frequency in "About this Mac". However as soon as I updated to 10.10.3, this was no longer the case. HWmonitor and iStat show my CPU running at 3.46GHz (stock clock for the 3770K), and "About this Mac" shows my RAM as running at 0 MHz. All my other stats show up fine. At first I thought maybe my OC got wiped out somehow, so I booted into the bios and they're still there. So I booted up Windows 8.1 to double-check what frequencies it's detecting and it reports them correctly at 4.5GHz for the CPU and 1867MHz for the RAM. So I think my OC is still in tact. Although even if it was wiped out... that wouldn't explain the RAM reporting at 0 MHz. On the surface I think this is just a cosmetic issue, however my concern is that maybe it's not... maybe my CPU is running at 3.5GHz and not 4.5GHz in 10.10.3, which is quite a huge performance difference and more of a legitimate concern. However even if it is just cosmetic I'd still like to uncover the cause of this. FakeSMC and the 4 FakeSMC plugins are all loaded according to System Information, and they're all running the latest versions (1364). HWMonitor and iStat Menus are also fully updated. Booting with Chimera 4.1.0. Is anyone having similar issues? Anyone got any suggestions on where I can start to try to solve this issue? Thanks guys edit: So now I have reason to believe this isn't just a cosmetic issue. I just ran Geekbench and I'm only getting 13925 - http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/view/2552061 Previously whenever I ran Geekbench I'd get between 16500 and 17000. So I think my CPU actually is running at stock clocks... ugh Edited May 15, 2015 by Stingray88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 This kind of information can be edited, going to the right directories and using the proper text editors. And, i see that you use Chimera, this is one of Tonymac's tools: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275941-very-important-please-read-about-tonymacx86-and-iatkos-m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray88 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm aware you can edit plists to change what's shown in About this Mac, but this isn't really what I'm looking for here. 10.10.3 isn't respecting my overclocking is the problem, and it always did before. My far lower geekbench scores show that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray88 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Rather than figuring out how to fix this with my current install and Chimera, I've simply decided to start from scratch with Clover. It's about time I've switched over, always been tempted in the past but never wanted to go through the work of setting my hack up new again. Wish me luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
