i7-2600k 4.6GHz OC / OV Speedstepper and stuff.

[DarkMio]

So, I previously posted months ago, that I setting up a hackintosh - I had some problem, some days of stress and problems, mistakes were made - and so on. I managed it, the system works flawlessly (10.7.2).

The processor is known as 3.41GHz Intel Core i7 - the normal power of the cpu.

 

Infos:

The Mainboard is an expensive Gigabyte, the system has the DSDT.

My Intel i7-2600k is overclocked with the opened multiplier to x46 (4,6GHz).

The System vCore is around 1.38V - this is normal for this multiplier.

Furthermore the system IS STABLE.

Different Stresstests under Windows (e. g.: SuperPI, Geekbench, Skyrim Graphicbenches, Physic-Animation of Crysis) shown, that the system runs with 4.6GHz stable - even with 8Threads on 100%.

Maxtemp with 2hours V1.38 100% CPU-Rendering was 66°C. And this on the worst CPU-Measurement. The CPU A/B/D were still on around 57°C.

 

 

Now there are a few problems:

 

1.) How can I view my ACTUAL CPU-Freq?

2.) How I use these speedstepper-things? With Windows it uses the multiplier - under OS X it seems to be x34 forever.

3.) How can I give the system access to the REAL 4.6GHz?

 

 

 

 

Off-topic-problem:

My Appstore doesn't work. It says, that the machine isn't recorgnized or so - have anyone a good link to fix that?

 

 

Thanks in advance,
