mercurysquad Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 "As of v1.4.0 of the kext, automatic throttling of CPU frequency and voltage is available. All you have to do is install the kext and let it do its job quietly in the background. You don't need any GUI app to control the auto-throttling." http://code.google.com/p/xnu-speedstep/wiki/AutoThrottle Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142547-doesnt-speed-step-work-on-aao/#findComment-1016323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv65user Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 right , but i want to see if it really has done it , so you recommend another app so i can monitor my cpu state to see if it really has throttled it down ?

Yes you can use the same SpeedStep.app (tuxx) to monitor the throttling. Just run it but set it to Manual mode. Then it should reflect the frequencies chosen by the kext. If you just want to make sure the kext is running, and don't really want to monitor the cpu frequency in realtime, then you can just run this command in Terminal: sysctl -a | grep throttle which will show you some information about the throttling.
