iNoob 3G Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 My current and only issue i have right now is using my system with my current overclock which is set at 3.4ghz. The system boots and runs just fine if i lower the multiplier to get 2.8ghz.

zicoos Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 you can edit your /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist file and include it there <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>busratio=20</string> for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO that is the one to edit and leave the one in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration alone if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I found out that there is a nice tool called Property List Editor that you can use. Some refer to it as plist editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Property List Editor is the preferred method of editing as apparently (never happened to me) you can get a corrupted com.apple.Boot.plist when editing with text edit.

While true the one in /Library/... never gets touched on system upgrades it is a local configuration file for expressly this type of edit by the local system administrator. Property List Editor is the preferred method of editing as apparently (never happened to me) you can get a corrupted com.apple.Boot.plist when editing with text edit. That is why you use the command line and something like nano or vim to do the edits as root user in Terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
