Hi,

Core I3 3120M

 

I Have AppleCpuPowerManager and NullCPUPowerManager kext in /S/L/E

 

Kernel Panic if I remove NullCPUPowerManager kext

 

MSRDumper PStatesReached: 12 25

 

 

It's SSDT script:

Do you want to copy /Users/vahid/Desktop/ssdt_pr.aml to /Extra/ACPI/ssdt_pr.aml? (y/n)?

DSDTDrop=Yes  not helped

 

What are u think ?

Hi,

 

NullCPUPowerManagement.kext disables AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext so you won't get that kernel panic. If you want to get rid of it, you need to patch AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext.

Thanks,

U know how I should patch AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext ?

I used AICPMPatch :

arch: x86_64

file is already patched or untested version

I used Panadora's BOX AppleIntelPowe... kext and It's works to boot witout NullCPUPower...

 

and It's my new MSCDumper:

Oct  3 22:41:15 Vahids-Mackbook-Pro kernel[0]: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 12 22 25

Now, It's show me 3 value now. added 22.

 

What u think ? Is it done for speedstep ?!

I know that the number of performance states can also depend on the platform profile you use (MacBookPro9,2). You can try a different one and see if you get more states. Hopefully it helps.

I changed to iMac 13,1 and I have 2 value:

MSRDumper PStatesReached: 12 25

I think it related to SMBios.plist right ?

Exactly. However real iMacs only have 2 states, too.

which one u supposed me to try ? what's is yours ?

in MacBook Air 5.2 I have 4 value!

kernel[0]: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 12 17 21 25

Mac mini returned same value to MacBook Air 5.2

u may try my tricks..

 

actually to get speedstep working u need a patched AICPUPM, correct SMBIOS and correct SSDT.

 

last week i only try to generate ssdt using sdtprgen, the problem is it can't detect low frequency mode in my processor. (same with you i think). so you will never get states lower than 12x.

 

i have a solution, just create usb bootable with clover, and configure it to generate p-state and c-state, once you enter the desktop, check again with msrdumper it should be more states, and u get 8x states.

 

u can dump it with maciasl.. good luck :thumbsup_anim:

p-state and c-state will be generate  automatically. and What diff if I use USB or own mackintosh-hd volume to boot ?!
