Haswell-E Xeon XCPM Sierra issues

[r2tincan]

Can't get XCPM to work with my Haswell-E Xeon e5-2630v3. I installed Sierra using NullCPUManagement and VoodooTSCSync.kext and deleted them after installing the following patches:

CPU is reported incorrectly on "About This Mac". Not sure what to do next. Someone help please?

[Toooorch]

There are some assumptions to run system with XCPM mode.

 

• nullcpumanagement have to be unloaded (run this in terminal and if it returning blank list you are good - kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu)
• you have to have freq vectors loaded - you can use piker alpha tool for load these vectors
• x86platform kext have to be also loaded
• about this mac will show xenon E5 with right cpu type in clover config
• qpi in clover config have to be set to 100 (maybe idk the right number for your procesor - search how to calculate this - piker alpha explained this on his blog as well)
• keep VoodooTSCSync.kext with right core number

I am out of my computer right now, but you can search on forum and you will get your answers.

Thanks for this reply.

Does this mean NullCPU is unloaded?

 

I used Pike's frequency vector tool but I tested to see if they were loaded and they were not. I set up a SSDT and set it to load with clover but I'm not sure if it's actually loading correctly?

 

x86platform kext... is loaded according to KextStat.

 

About this mac does NOT show the correct processor. How do I fix this? I thought this was cosmetic only.

 

I set the QPI to "100". On Intel's website it says my QPI for my processor is 8GT/s.

 

I'll put voodootscync back. 

 

Thanks so far!

any ideas?

Here is my IntelCPUInfo.kext readout after making changes I described. Still can't get CPU to show in "about this mac".
