adrock42 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Just wondering. My vanilla hack has been saying 4 GHz since install. Every benchmarking utility i run says 4 Ghz. Temperature Monitor's System Information says 4 GHz. but its a 2.4 Ghz e4600. I Stuck a diesel zalman fan on there just to be safe. Everything I find says that the maximum clock rate is 4 ghz. Am I overclocking without doing anything? Is 4 GHz safe with out a massive water block? Is there any way to test the proc post install? With the Zalman, Temp Monitor says 31c and 28c right now. The zalman dropped that 15c. 8). Also I am having the sleep, shutdown problems, so I assume the speedstep isnt happening correctly, but I havent done much research into it. fyi (Im on 10.5.3 brazilmac + pc_efi) Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporATX Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 OS X can't overclock the processor. It has to be done in the bios. ...and your temps are normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Did you install the latest AppleSMBIOS.kext from mac.nub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrock42 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 I did not try the kext. i think i used the AppleSMBIOS.kext from the pc-efiv8. has it been updated since? i'm on 10.5.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 mac.nub AppleSMBios.kext has been updated at least two times after EFIv8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrock42 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 installing the kext didn't do a thing. I did install the Intel integrator and was able to change some of the tags with text information in it, like "Model Identifier" in System Profiler. And the 10.5.4 update changed everything in Temperature monitor's system information window. So whatever. It's running good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 There was something about vanilla kernel and 45nm CPU. If your CPU is 45nm then you have to use the patched modbin kernel. Even 9.4 kernel has been patched and released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrock42 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 eventually i was getting kernel panics on shutdown with the new kext. I reinstalled the old one and everything is groovy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anpheus Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Don't worry about it, it's just a number in a window. If About My Mac said eleventy billion gigahertz, would you still be freaking out or would you laugh a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveWasTaken Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 It's simply cosmetic. There are fixes available, and the "x.xxghz unknown" fix may work for this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
