TonyKL Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I believe that under Leopard my CPU is running much hotter than it was when I had XP64 on there. Is this my imagination or is something missing from OSX ? I've read about Speedstep and Throttling kernels but don't quite understand why you'd want to throttle the cpu? Is it my imagination or is there more to this?

TonyKL Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext Ok, will give that a try. I think I'm going to install the retail rather than the BrazilMac like you have. Seems the best way to get a nice clean install.
