App Nap and generally good Power Management.

[SlightlySuperior]

So for a brief moment I had App Nap (not sure how well that works on a hackintosh) and all the modern power settings with a iMac14,2 SM (like app nap). Unfortunately I lost the clover config (and had to recreate it including the iMac 14,2 SM I had to re make file the clover config plist. I have since then removed a table drop list or or two (CpuPm and Cpu0Ist), enabled platform power management in my Bios and ERP and added a TRIM enabler fix to kernel and kext patches in clover plus a added the TyMCEDriver ECC requirement removal patch to the same part of clover as the Trim enabler. BUT Now I don't have app nap and all the goodies. I don't know how well app nap runs on a Z97X board with a i7 4770 but it was cool to have the option in Sys prefs Energy saver prefpane. anyway if you guys know where I went wrong and how I can get the feature back. that'd be cool. Although it should be noted that since I made all these changes I seem to be getting better overall CPU use. Like it goes below 3.40Ghz occasionally and get's to 3.9. just seems like a more close to in windows kind of behaviour. I think not dropping the cpu pm and Iost tables are what did that.

• Drop SSDT table in Clover config
• Keep C States + P States generation disabled in Clover config
• If you have a Sandy/Ivy Bridge CPU, activate AsusAICPUPM in Clover config
• If you have a Haswell/Broadwell CPU, activate CpuPm in Clover config
• Generate your CPU-specific power management SSDT with Pike R Alpha's well-known SSDT generator tool
• Copy your generated SSDT to the EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder of your EFI partition

 

The ssdt which generated make my cpu very hot by the "kerrnel task" alway overload. I just remove it then my cpu work fine with the same P-states and C-States.
