Serkan Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 will this work with 10.4.8 and sse2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskun Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Alright, the AMD installer seems to work perfectly, though only if I boot up with 'cpus=1', very good job! One question though, even though the CPU is being used around 80% all the time with running applications the fan does not seem to go louder than its level 2 (of approx 9 swoosh levels), does this mean that my CPU is at ease and does not have too much stress? Golly, I wonder what will happen if I download the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 and start using it on it.. O_O Thanks in advance, again great job! Edit: I already knew about the clock slowdown and the performance slightly going down, but is sound stuttering/lagging also a bug that comes with this kext install?

enzobelmont Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Simply download the Intel Installer, after selecting the destination drive, click the Customize button, untick “Intel SpeedStep Extensions” and install. Then download this AMD installer, it will install the required AMD Cool and Quiet kernel extension. from mac.nub's blog. sorry i've do not unticked “Intel SpeedStep Extensions”, now my system reboots and reboots and reboots and... so on. My processor is an AMD sempron 3000+ 10.4.8 JAS What can i do to recover my system to an usable state? sorry my english... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stony Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hello, will there be any support for AMD 64 3200+ CPU? I'm using it with an MSI K8T Neo 2 mainboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldMeister Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Can only confirm it works on my system, haven't had this speed in a long time, and my notebook finally cooles down thank you, and keep up the good work Edit: Noticed, that i can't return from sleep, that's the only thing, everything else works (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufulu Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 This sounds great! Will this work on my machine? Samsung X20 with SSe2 OS X 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 Kernel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stony Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 This sounds great! Will this work on my machine? Samsung X20 with SSe2 OS X 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 Kernel? Maybe, what CPU do you have? Perhaps you could try it out to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton_d Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 hmm, strange... with this kext installed my system hangs just after loading the GUI. i'm on a pentium 4 mobile so i think it should work. (laptop: compaq evo N610c) any ideas on why this could be? anyways, thanks for the effort to make my cpu a bit cooler, this was the last really needed addition to osx86! keep up the good work anton.

Tails1984 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi, just wondering does it works in AMD Althon 64 3500+?? it is a SSE2 CPU... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio on the mic Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 hi there. AMD Turion 64 x2 on my Amilo... i'm testing 10.4.9 with this SpeedStep kext. cputhrottle working with cpus=1... i tried the unstable x2 (by... duddie? or kazzuya?) version which freezes my desktop in a minute or two. is there any work going on about this to make it a little stable? i can give some log files if it helps. again: is it normal that debug message reports CPUThrottle working on both CPU0 and CPU1 even if i boot up with cpus=1? ciao.

PsychoPants Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Works great for an AMD 3700+ Venice on an Abit AN8-SLI board. Waiting for the developers of DCPUManager/Mac OS (whoever comes first) to fix the slowmotion bug (any frequency under normal causes the system to run at slowmotion instead of just lowering the performance). Currently this is one thing which bugs me without end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac.nub Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Any news on development? What about my slowmotion bug? Not as far as I know, try contacting duddie (the developer of the AMD kext) As for development, the Intel version is now actually pretty stable, and if you have a supported CPU you shouldn't have any problems. Where as with the AMD version, there is of course still the slowdown bug. The easiest way to catch duddie is probably on IRC... irc.osx86.hu #appleacpi ~mac.nub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasar_x Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 As for development, the Intel version is now actually pretty stable, and if you have a supported CPU you shouldn't have any problems. I also have an Inspiron 6400, but with a T2250 (1.73 Ghz). Speedstep is generally running very well with it. The only annoyances are that - the DCPUManager is still somewhat buggy (can't start minimized, always have to manually exit it when shutting down) - my CPU is detected with a maxfreq of 2.17 Ghz instead of 1.73 Ghz. How do I correct it? I already tried to modify "kern.cpu_maxfreq", but the variable is read-only, so I am not able to write to it. Any help much appreciated.

zes Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 hi, one question....? i run uphuck 1.3 on amd turion 1.8 Ghz. i know, running ubuntu, that my cpu supports 3 steps of frez. 800, 1,6 and 1.8 when i boot with ac adapter i think osx boots with 1.8 Gh fixed freq. when i boot with battery osx boots with 800 Gh fixed freq. ok, i´ve seen make speedstep working for amd cpu it´s a hard job, is there any file (boot file, boot command, boot instruction, i don´t know what...) where osx detects booting energy and associates a fixed freq to run system. can we change it, fixed, no matter, i always want 1.8 Gh, i dont want speedstep. it´s possible,...?

Prasys Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 I can't do anything for OSX 10.4.10 , unless the kernel devel hacks in and adds supports for this Its possible you can use sysctl to manually take control of the speed ......Its possible ATM , it works with PowerNow , COol and Quiet and Intel Speedstep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbert75 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Prasys, Thanks for all the hard work that you do! I had a quick questions. I seem to recall something being mentioned a month or two ago that you were working on a solution for the dell core2duo laptop issue. Anything exciting to report on that front? I check every day hoping for some exciting new news. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
