CrazyLexx Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi there, just got my copy of Windows Vista Home Premium and installed it on my MacBook Pro (C2D 2.16 GHz CPU) without running into any major problems. However, I've just realized that the cpu clock is somehow locked at the maximum speed all the time and won't drop below 2,16GHz (even when I'm not running any applications)! Any ideas? I've already checked the power management settings (which are set so the highest energy saving level) or unpluged the power cable... Thanks, Tom Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39785-mbp-with-c2d-cpu-wont-go-below-216ghz-in-vista/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Vista tries to get as much out of the CPU as it can. Good luck trying to decrease the speed.

equilibriumuk Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) I'm not sure if this will work on a mac or not, but I use it on my laptop to monitor and set the cpu speed. Notebook Hardware Control Not sure if it supports all core2duo's but I know it works on AMD Turion's aswell as Conroe's Edit: I notice on their page they have a Intel Core Duo and Intel Core 2 Duo patch Edited January 25, 2007 by equilibriumuk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39785-mbp-with-c2d-cpu-wont-go-below-216ghz-in-vista/#findComment-285036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyLexx Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Maybe someone could tell me which kind of chipset Apple build into their MBP (with a C2D) and I could give some of the new vista drivers on the intel site a try...?!
