Power management for Sandy/Ivy Bridge/Haswell CPUs

[Allan]

Oh Ok, well if is one BIOS configuration we do not have much to do.

You can change these settings?

 

You also can use Piker's script.

[Java Lava]

Hello Allan and thanks by your reply. I can change that value and at the same time I can not because the slider is in its position of maximum value, in other words, I can change the value at minus than 32 but no more than 32

 

I will attempt use the Piker's script

 

Thanks by all

[Allan]

Weird...

 

Maybe exist some BIOS update available for fix that?

[Java Lava]

Thanks by your reply Allan

 

The BIOS was updated to the last version (F14) since january 2014, right now, I have checked the gigabyte's site looking by an update for my motherboard and the last version available is the F14

 

I used the Piker's script and the values 33 and 34 continue missing

 

Thanks by your patience

[Allan]

Hmm, per hour i have no ideas how we can unblock this others values...

 

Tomorrow (for me here is still 1st april) i will search more about this for you. 

[Java Lava]

Thanks Allan

 

I think and for avoid waste your time, wait install Windows on my hackintosh and then i could check from Windows if the values 33 and 34 continue missing

 

Thanks in advanced

[Allan]

Don't worry buddy, we are here to learn together. 

[Java Lava]

Hello Allan

 

Thanks by your reply

 

I have installed Windows and the P values 33 and 34 are not missing

 

I will attempt use the guide explained here in the post #1 and back with the report

 

Thanks in advanced

[Allan]

After your corrections, send me one copy of the IOReg.

[Java Lava]

Hello Allan

 

Thanks by show interest

 

I can not create el SSDT, the last command shows a bug

gDataPath: /Users/javalava/Library/ssdtPRGen/Data

Error: Invalid argument detected: 3400
Aborting ...
Done.

 

The last command is sudo ./ssdtPRGen.sh xxxx xx for put the values of the processor, in my case is a i5 2400, then the last command is sudo ./ssdtPRGen.sh 3400 95 and after of confirm shows the bug more above

Ideas?

Thanks in advanced

Try follow this: http://www.hackintoshosx.com/topic/22874-power-management-for-your-hackintosh/?p=118498

Hello Allan

 

Thanks by your reply

 

Success creating the SSDT but the P values 33 and 34 continuing missing

 

This is my report after of attempt 4 different tests, and for each test i leave you a file zip with the IOReg file and the terminal output file

 

Java Lava - P States - Clover.zip --> This test was done with the Clover generating the P-States

Java Lava - P States - SSDT.zip  --> This test was done with a SSDT generating the P-States

 

Time back, more or less 1 year, i was attempting activate the P-States on this same hackintosh running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and was thanks to Maniac10 that did me the suggestion for use a IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext modifying the data inside of the file iMac12,2.plist with the data from a Macbook Pro, then now i did the same and the report was this

 

Java Lava - P States - Clover - Hybrid kext.zip --> This test was done with Clover generating the P-States and IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext hybrid

Java Lava - P States - SSDT - Hybrid kext.zip  --> This test was done with a SSDT generating the P-States and IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext hybrid

 

Thanks in advanced

Ok, when i get home i will take a look.

 

In my job we use Windows  <_>

[Allan]

Hello.

 

I looked into SSDT and Clover results, and the power management is right. But the "hybrid" power management, no.

 

 

You can try generate a new SSDT with some workarounds.

E.g: 

./ssdtPRGen.sh 3400 95

[Codinger]

If your CPU is OC'ed you have to enter your oc clock right?

[Java Lava]

If your CPU is OC'ed you have to enter your oc clock right?

 

Thanks by show interest OSBeast but I am working on a processor different to that appears in my signature, a few post more back i did mention on the processor that i am working that is a i5-2400

Hello Allan

 

I am attempting create a SSDT with workarounds the more complete possible but i have conflicts using the letters, this is the SSDT with the workarounds that i would like create, but i can not, because some workarounds shows the error invalid argument

 

./ssdtPRGen.sh -b 1600 -b Mac-942B59F58194171B -c 0 -f 3100 -l 4 -m iMac12,2 -p i5-2400 -t 3400 -t 95

 

I can not add the base frequency and turbo frequency

 

Update, i am getting the wave the base frequency is -bclk and turbo frequency is -turbo

 

I will back with te report

 

Thanks in advanced

[Java Lava]

Hello Allan

 

Before of attempt use the SSDT with workarounds, i made a comparation with the SSDT generated automatically

 

and I saw 2 differences, in the SSDT generated automatically the busFrequency is 100 and the turboStates is 3 and on the SSDT with workarounds the busFrequency is 1600 and the turboStates is 0

 

Is possible modify those values with workarounds?, i was watching in terminal using ~/ssdtPRGen.sh -h but not specifies how

 

Thanks in advanced

[Allan]

Oops, sorry Java Lava. The workarounds is only for Ivy Bridge. I did not pay attention. 

 

For you, we can try another things, but now I will not be in my house, I will go fishing with my family. 

 

I see you tonight, or tomorrow. 

[Java Lava]

 

Oops, sorry Java Lava. The workarounds is only for Ivy Bridge. I did not pay attention. 

 

 

Enjoy and thanks by your help

Your help is unpayable

Thanks

Hey Java-Lava take a look in this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283234-os-x-mountain-lion-asus-p8h67-m-pro-b3-installation-guide/

 

Maybe you can enable the others BIOS options, that shows this guide, for SpeedStep.

[Java Lava]

Hello Allan

 

Thanks by your reply

 

I was reading the guide recommend by you and basically is enable from the BIOS the C-States, but this is for the installation, anyway did and the P values 33 and 34 continue missing

 

They are attempting get more P-States patching the AppleCPUPM using a script (for mother ASUS) or patching the BIOS. I did a research a bit more deeply and patch the BIOS is very advanced for me and in addition there can not see a tutorial about how make this

 

By another side i have noticed that the AppleLPC.kext is not loading ... ... is very frustrating ...

 

I have attempted several things for load the LPC

 

Patching the DSDT, changing the line device to compatible on the DSDT, attempt add the device-id inside of AppleLPC.kext but was not necessary, even into clover i did a Force Load but without luck

 

if you more ideas for get the P values 33 and 34 tell me

 

About the AppleLPC i will make another thread

 

Thanks in advanced

[Allan]

The bad news of this story, is the BIOS locked.

 

Maybe we can find a patch for your BIOS...

[Java Lava]

Thanks Allan by your interest and patience

 

I will search with more time in internet

 

Thanks again

[Allan]

Does it works or not?
