Anyone here using -pci1 in com.apple.Boot.plist or using rekursors PCI root port patch?

 

If yes; what do you get when you enter: sudo reggie_se -D PhysAddr -r -a 0xe0000000 -B 32

 

Note: This command requires Xcode!

 

p.s. Bonus points for the one adding a dump of his/her MCFG table.

 

Thank you.

Probably you are using 64-bit kernel ?

Yes I kind of guessed that but I just did what the poster asked after checking what reggie_se did

 

ie what is the significance of the question

 

I mean you must boot with 32-bit kernel to use reggie_se, it uses some 32-bit only kext files. For me it doesn't work even with that but using 64-bit kernel you have no chance of running it.

OK this is what I get in 32 mode

 

sudo reggie_se -D PhysAddr -r -a 0xe0000000 -B 32

It's actually easy to check if C4 works, run this : sudo setpci -s 0:1f.0 0xa6.b

 

If bit 7 of result is set then CPU has gone to a C-state deeper than C2 at least once. My result with working C4 is 80

More information about that register can be found on ICH10 datasheet page 455.

 

I get '00'

It's like you said I have a processor that doesn't support C2 & C4 so I never saw those options. I used the same processor in both boards. The EP35-DS4 board is retired (anyone want to buy it?).

 

Update: I just flipped through the P35 manual and didn't see the C2 & C4 options. However I do see those options in my P45 manual. So I guess there's no support… that sucks. I wonder if they might have added it in a later BIOS update.

 

The Q9450 only supports C1E @ 12 and 16W ..

 

"12.These parts have Extended HALT State (C1E) enabled

13.These parts have Extended HALT (C1E) power of 16W

14.These parts have Extended HALT (C1E) power of 12W"

 

Maybe these two C1E states should be defined?

 

**EDIT** or is that C1 and C2?

In that case you should define your CST like this:

		Method (CST, 0, NotSerialized)
	{
		Return (Package (0x02)
		{
			0x1, 
			Package (0x4){ResourceTemplate (){Register (FFixedHW,0x01,0x02,0x00,,)},One,One,0x3E8} 
		})
	}

 

What datasheet are you referring to ?

 

/edit

 

Ok, found the sheet. You should use this CST table, you only have C1E

Could not using Zero's in the PR Scope PSS method cause system instability? I have

 

Package (0x06) { 2394, 53405, 10, 10, 0x923, Zero },

Package (0x06) { 2128, 46868, 10, 10, 0x822, One },

Package (0x06) { 1862, 39955, 10, 10, 0x720, 0x02 },

Package (0x06) { 1596, 33343, 10, 10, 0x61E, 0x03 }

 

I just now noticed everyone else has Zero's in place of bold numbers, every 2 days or so I get a lockup.. always while I'm gaming (only thing I do that really uses much of cpu), but I never had this while I was using NullCPUPM

I also see that you are running your cpu at 3 GHz, I don't see how it could possibly help you to define P0 state as 2394 when you are really using 3000.

Yup 266 with x9

 

Have you tried letting CPUTest.app run for some time, maybe you have some cooling issues ? And how about reggie_se, I still haven't seen anyone using P45 successful with it.

As per kdawg ... post 1240 qui !

 

But that only defines C1 .. ?! not C1E at 2 possible power states 12W and 16W

 

 

EDIT**

something like: DONT USE!

 Method (CST, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (Package (0x03)
{
0x2,
Package (0x4){ResourceTemplate (){Register (FFixedHW,0x01,0x02,0x00,,)},One,One,0x3E8,1600},
Package (0x4){ResourceTemplate (){Register (FFixedHW,0x01,0x02,0x00,,)},One,One,0x3E8,1200}
})
}

My temps are really cool, (tested on both Windows and OSX (CPU-i)) I idle at around 30-32C and on load I'm at around 42-45C. Way below max thermal spec.

 

I'll try reggie_se next time I reboot, I boot into 64-bit by default.

 

Will try CPUTest. So those numbers I posted earlier couldn't be causing my problem?

 

edit: ran cputest for about 10mins, went through 160 tests, 0 failed, and temps never went above 50C, definitely not a cooling problem
