Terenc3 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I ad no problem with speedstep in Leopard 10.5.8. Coming to SL 10.6.2, now I cannot find any speedstep kext or apps for me to run. My laptop battery runs from 100-0 in just 55mins where it can last nearly 2hrs with speedstep. Haha.. I tried IntelEnhancedSpeedStep.kext but to no avail. I guess its only for 32bit kernels. Any body with any idea can advice and enlighten this lost boy over here? Im left with this to get a perfect hackintosh. Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 2.0GHz on HP dv5 Laptop.

riws Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 If you get the native OSX build-in Speedstep to work, you could try out Coolbook, great way to change Voltages.

Terenc3 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 are you refering to the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext? I removed that as its not working for me.. Haha..

TheOriginalPol Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I know this probably sounds stupid, but how can you tell if speedstepping is enabled? Besides how long your battery lasts?

trwoolley Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I know this probably sounds stupid, but how can you tell if speedstepping is enabled? Besides how long your battery lasts? Yes, I would like to know this also! How does one know from Snow Leopard (not Windows) installation if speedstepping is enabled, and what should be the procedure if it is not? I read this in InsanelyMac Lounge>The X Lab: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1283702 I can't find AppleIntelCPU.kext in System/Library/Extensions. I do have ApplePLC.kext. Also to use VoodooPState.kext which seems to be required for speedstep I read this post: http://www.efixusers.com/showpost.php?p=71...mp;postcount=10 I really don't want to install VoodooPState.kext directly into System/Library/Extensions as indicated. Does not Apple support speedstepping for their Intel quad processors in Snow Leopard? Apparently NOT! Read this - scary! http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...090309054944734 It applies to Leopard I assume, not Snow Leopard, but I have yet to read a clear, concise procedural method for speedstepping Snow Leopard that does not involve mucking with DSDT, and most of those tried by others seem not to work. Check out the full X-Lab thread above. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200499-intel-speedstep-sl-1062/#findComment-1411663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funderclatch Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 use cpu-x to monitor speeds (you should note the fluctuations if speedstep's active): http://netkas.org/?p=72 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200499-intel-speedstep-sl-1062/#findComment-1463354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
valv Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 depending on time u wish to spend at learning stuff + motivation to get vanilla speed-step with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and the distribution you were setting up, my friends, u can go ACPI hacks.

Beerkex'd Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 use cpu-x to monitor speeds (you should note the fluctuations if speedstep's active): No. CPU-x doesn't do that unless you're using the Voodoo Kernel. Otherwise it just shows the CPU's factory maximum speed. Well maybe some voodoo speedstepping extension will work too, not sure. But CPU-x does not do anything if you're using AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext. All the information you need to get CPU state switching working is here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181631 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200499-intel-speedstep-sl-1062/#findComment-1463714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
