Dontview Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hello everyone, i plan to buy myself a new power supply. Since i have a Haswell (i5-4570) CPU, I was wondering if the low power states would work on my hackintosh. Otherwise, this investment would be rather senseless I guess. Currently, I use the Intel Power Gadget in order to analyze the power consumption of my CPU. In Idle, it consummate around 44 W. In full load, it consummate around 59 W. if C6 and C7 are working, it should by much more less than 44W. Anyway, it would be nice if someone could confirm that C6 and C7 is working. If anyone has any experience, it would be also nice to know how high the power consumption of these states are using a hackintosh. Thank you guys, Timo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296755-c6-c7-low-power-states-on-a-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastez Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have exactly the same CPU like you but mine has in idle total Package Power 5 - 6 W without using the integrated graphicscard. Are you using a ssdt? Because your idle power Output is too high.

Dontview Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ok...the strange part is, that my intel power gadget ist not working properly. That might explain my high results.It shows a power consumption between 0,45 - and 0,55 W.Any suggestions how i could fix this?I am definitely using a ssdt ..... I attached i picture of my intel power gadget results, my clover configuration and my current ssdt file...Thanks ipc.tiff config.plist.zip ssdt.aml.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296755-c6-c7-low-power-states-on-a-hackintosh/#findComment-2014453 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramalama Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Sure. Thanks in advance.. You ioreg seems good for me... (CPU related) Can you check with dpcidump or with hwmonitor your psteps? how much you get, and if it's stucked to highest step or something?
