[SOLVED] Question about speedstep

[MacFaulty]

Hello,

 

I'm totally new to this speedstep stuff and I would also like a working speedstep. I launched SMC Monitor to check P & C states and get about 10 states in the list (Core i5 430m CPU). I also have a DSDT which I've patched with DSDTFixer (don't know if this is right, but there weren't any errors and I do not know much about DSDT). I also checked CPU-X but there is the original freq. displayed (max till turbo boost). If you need my DSDT I will upload it when it is necessary

 

My question is: How can I check whether speedstep is enabled or not?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

P.S. You must get sick of these questions, but I searched and searched, but couldn't find a working app (MSR tools doesn't work on Lion x64 and MSRDumper is only for sandy bridge. MSRDumper doesn't return any values though (don't know if my CPU is sandy bridge) )

if SMC monitor shows a change in frequencies, speestep works, cause that is it.

if not the mystery search begins.

Hi there,

 

How do I check in SMC monitor for frequency changes? I can add many values and all are kinda strange :S

 

Thanks in advance!

Oh, I haven't installed IntelCPUMonitor.kext. Shame on me! xD

 

Launched SMC Monitor and frequencies are different once in a while (1452, 1188, 1539 etc etc). So, it works!

 

Thanks for the help anyway
