MacFaulty Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hello, I'm totally new to this speedstep stuff and I would also like a working speedstep. I launched SMC Monitor to check P & C states and get about 10 states in the list (Core i5 430m CPU). I also have a DSDT which I've patched with DSDTFixer (don't know if this is right, but there weren't any errors and I do not know much about DSDT). I also checked CPU-X but there is the original freq. displayed (max till turbo boost). If you need my DSDT I will upload it when it is necessary My question is: How can I check whether speedstep is enabled or not? Thanks in advance. P.S. You must get sick of these questions, but I searched and searched, but couldn't find a working app (MSR tools doesn't work on Lion x64 and MSRDumper is only for sandy bridge. MSRDumper doesn't return any values though (don't know if my CPU is sandy bridge) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westwaerts Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 if SMC monitor shows a change in frequencies, speestep works, cause that is it. if not the mystery search begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacFaulty Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi there, How do I check in SMC monitor for frequency changes? I can add many values and all are kinda strange :S Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacFaulty Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Oh, I haven't installed IntelCPUMonitor.kext. Shame on me! xD Launched SMC Monitor and frequencies are different once in a while (1452, 1188, 1539 etc etc). So, it works! Thanks for the help anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
