Hi, superhai.

With newest versions some wrong with vids (and pstates).

I only seem to have 2 pstates (min MHZ and max MHZ, nothing between.

VIDs : Only one?! (last version more) Control app shows at slider min/max same, much to less values (712mV). Setting is 1075mV , but that stays same, min MHZ and max MHZ - before it changes.

GA-EP35-DS3 (ACPI-Bug - no PSTATES), C2D 4400, 960MHZ Bus (240), 2400 MHZ (OC from 2000)

I found the bug, will fix it soon, until further you can set the VID-override to true in Info.plist, or remove the other VID entries.

I set default to 4 p-states, I dont think it will be any gain to have more than 4.

with the latest app and kext my cpu doesn't thorottle anymore. it's stucked to 800MHz, don't know if it's just the app.

I would use the debug .kext like i did some posts before (kextload it) and submit the dmesg output that superhai can see whats happended.

The more such debug dmesg the faster superhai can fix that little bugs.

Here's mine from a T7500 C2 @ 2.200

 

ioreg -lw0 | grep PerformanceStateArray

| | "PerformanceStateArray" = (<99080000b88800000a0000000a0000002e0c00002e0c0000>,<98080000b88800000a0000000a0000002b0b00002b0b0000>,<40060000d85900000a0000000a0000001c0800001c080000>,<b0040000803e00000a0000000a0000001206000012060000>,<20030000b03600000a0000000a0000000b8800000b880000>)

Ok stupid question here:

Tried the kext and app and it seems to work (i see the values changing in the top bar when i use progs etc.)

I will give the specific of my CPU and output of all the commands when i get home. (Intel T8100 core2duo on XPS M1530)

 

My (stupid) question is: without this kext do I have the CPU always at max speed ?

Or this kext is just for cosmetic purposes ? (don't want to offend anyone with my comment)

 

If this kext enables the throttling it seems to me that the battery should last longer isnt'it?

 

Thanks

Ok here are my results:

 

ioreg -lxw0 -r -c GenericCPUPowerManagement | grep "CPU "

"CPU Status" = {"Auto Throttle"=Yes,"Load"=0x1e,"Temperature"=0x22,"High jump"=0x258,"Voltage"=0x3b6,"Timer"=0xfa,"Low jump"=0x190,"Frequency"=0x320,"Kext Timer"=0x158,"Kext Online"=Yes,"Current state"=0x3,"Voltage ID"=0x13,"Frequency ID"=0x88}

"CPU Init" = {"CTL max"=0x4b27,"FSB frequency min"=0x190,"Signature"=0x10676,"FSB frequency max"=0x320,"CTL min"=0x8813,"Kext unlock"=No,"Kext version"=0x10008,"Brand string"="Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz","Voltage max"=0x4b0,"Frequency min"=0x258,"Frequency max"=0x7d0,"Voltage min"=0x3b6}

 

next:

 

ioreg -lw0 | grep PerformanceStateArray

| | "PerformanceStateArray" = (<35080000007d00000a0000000a000000274b0000274b0000>,<34080000187900000a0000000a000000224a0000224a0000>,<40060000085200000a0000000a0000001c0800001c080000>,<b0040000c83200000a0000000a0000001706000017060000>,<20030000102700000a0000000a0000001388000013880000>)

 

and finally:

 

grep GenericCPUPowerManagement /var/log/system.log

that's all it seems to work as i can put all info on the top bar and they change when i do stuff.

The one thing it is wrong is that in the app the max frequency is 2000Mhz while my cpu should ahve max 2100

listen guys, superhai said: post it TO ME, not post it IN HERE.

 

this sub-forum is about the latest news and information on the hackintosh scene.

this sub-forum is definately NOT for resolving any trouble you're having with your OSx86-build or whatsoever...!

 

so, gosunsgo & company, continue with posting stuff like that in here and i'll just close the topic!

you guys just clutter it up till it doesn't make sense in here anymore.

 

darn!

working absolutely fine for me on my dell inspiron 1525 :)

 

my only gripe with the application though, is the data it puts on the menubar :) is there any way i could turn off the data it displays on the menubar (pretty trivial gripe, i know, but still...)

again sorry, I just followed a link from another topic and i found this one.

Than i saw everybody posting their results of the requested command and i thought "that's a way maybe i can help out" seeing nobody posted enything about the cpu I am using

For sure i was mistaken.

 

No more posts from me that's for sure

well then, did you read this?

 

Forum Guidelines and Information, What this forum is for! - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=90975

 

well, what is your problem? nowhere in superhai's starting post does he say "post to me". it says please post your results.

 

superhai's post " Public early beta of Generic Intel Enhanced SpeedStep app & kext" specifically asks the community for help by posting their results from a couple commands he provides.

 

if this was posted in the root of the Forum "New Releases and Updates" I would understand your concerns. If superhai's post isn't appropriate in this category then it needs to be moved. This is not the fault of the folks who replied.

 

btw. in the forum guidelines it reads: "This forum is to separate discussion of various new releases (be it drivers, applications or OSx86 builds on the OSx86 scene). " This includes superhai's new driver/app combination. And it says this should be posted exactly here to keep it clear from the OSX installation forum.

 

edit 1: and yes, let's get back to the topic. looking forward to new kext/app from superhai.

edit 2: update Oct 19. now it reads "post the output of this to me" indeed.
