~anima Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi there, I really like to OC my E6600 to lets say 3,2GHz stable. I've done this before, but when I boot into OS X the Speedstep will not clock down my CPU. Is there a way that my CPu still can be clocked down by speedstep in os x?

Speedstep hampers overclocking, if you overclock disable it. simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybyte Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 In ubuntu steepspeed works flawesly but i think that you will need a kext like notebooks for enabling it. You only overclocked a e6600 to 3200? what multiplier it has? i have a e6400 @ 3600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockeye Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 No, there seems to be no solution for that at the moment. The guy who has made the speedstep.kext has stopped developping it. It was a solution for laptops (means 1,2,-1,8 ghz) only anyway. (works with IAtkos standard kernel, if you set your max cpu freq to 1,8 ghz only) All we can do at the moment is to run our overclocking at moderate speed levels to avoid a noisy and overheated pc.

BashfulTux Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have always used just the C1E which lowers the voltage to the chip when not under load works fine in both Win XP, Debian GNU/Linux and I presume Mac OS X since the temperatures of my chip (q6600 G0) are the same in it as the others can't see the voltages though so not entirely sure.
