bwillo Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hello to all the insane! I have been reading, digesting, installing, and tweaking for about 4 months now. I still have a lot to learn, but at the same time my understanding of the fundamentals has come along way. That said, I have a unresolved problem that no mater what I try or how many ways I google and search the forums I can not seem to resolve getting Snow Leo to use more then one core of my CPU. I just can not seem to figure out what I am missing. OSX knows I have 4 CPU's It shows under "About this MAC" and the Activity Monitor shows 4 CPU's. But only one core is being used. I installed using a vanilla install, I have tried to follow the threads that are relevant to my hardware, have tried to use a modified DSDT and tweaked the SMBIOS and I still have no luck. So I have come to plead to anyone who can shed some light on what I am missing. ASUS P5N-D motherboard. Intel Q6600 CPU 4 GB of OC PC2 SLI Ram Nividia 8800 GT Video card KEXT's Using NVInject NullCPUPowerManagement fakesmcVoodooPS2Controller Have tried all recommended DSDT patching, I know I am missing something obvious or there would be more post on the subject. System runs great, no crashes, can leave it run for weeks and no problems, video, sound all work fine. I cannot seem to figure this CPU issue out. And I need the extra CPU for recording and mixing audio with Pro Tools. It runs very smooth until I need more CPU for plug ins and other processor intensive tasks. What am I missing?

bwillo Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Get rid of nullcpupm, install Chameleon 2.0 RC5 and try to get native CPU power management going. Overview: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?...amp;#entry10065 Ok I have read the post and have tried just about everything I can think of and I still only am using 1 core. I can see 4 cores, but I just am not able to figure this out. I have just about everything else running native, even video now. Another clean install, update to 10.6.5 and Chameleon 2.0 RC5. Could someone explain where to start with native CPU power management? I am stuck....
