chriz74 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I was reading an article regarding "Performance tuning with FakeSMC & SMBIOS plist". I was wondering, how does 2.2f44 translate to base64 for the config.plist? And does anyone know what smc name is the correct one for macbookpro 9.2 (example smc-napa...) ? Does this really make a difference? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308655-fakesmc-keys-for-performance-tuning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriz74 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 I tried myself, I have macbook pro 9,2 smbios. I put 022F0400 0004 (for 2.2f44) in keys REV RVBF RVUF of fakeSMC info.plist. I changed from smc-napa to smc-chiefriver in smc-compatible in the same plist. geekbench score jumped to 2909 single-core and 11372 multi-core. It was 2896 single-core and 10449 multi-core with default values.

Slice Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 FakeSMC is designed to be smc-napa compatible else you may have undefined problems. Anyway if you have good result then let it be.

chriz74 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 I'm using the latest fakesmc from rehabman/kozlek. I'll post the plist when I'm back home. However it's not that hard to modify. Use plist editor pro.

Intel Core 2 Duo P9500 2,53 Ghz: 32bit 64bit At the moment, I haven't results with the classic FakeSMC.kext sorry Edit: Update: I've tried geekbench also with the normal FakeSMC.kext and these are the results: 32bit 64bit So I don't see any significant differences between the modified kext and the classic the FakeSMC.kext that I use is this: The fakeSMC of the tests is loaded by Clover bootloader Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308655-fakesmc-keys-for-performance-tuning/#findComment-2178746 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mela quadrata Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Then it doesn't make any difference yes, but perhaps it could depend from my FakeSMC?!? I seen that in my system preferences the smc number it remains as classic and not with the modified key...

bronxteck Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 if using clover as your boot loader you have to remove the clover entry in the fakesmc plist so that your new values will take effect if not clover uses it's pre coded defaults. <key>Clover</key><dict> <key>BEMB</key> <array> <string>BEMB</string> <string>flag</string> </array> <key>EPCI</key> <array> <string>EPCI</string> <string>ui32</string> </array> <key>RBr</key> <array> <string>RBr</string> <string>ch8*</string> </array> <key>REV</key> <array> <string>REV</string> <string>{rev</string> </array> <key>RPlt</key> <array> <string>RPlt</string> <string>ch8*</string> </array> </dict> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308655-fakesmc-keys-for-performance-tuning/#findComment-2178874 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I tried rehabman one...nothing changed until I made this: if using clover as your boot loader you have to remove the clover entry in the fakesmc plist so that your new values will take effect if not clover uses it's pre coded defaults. <key>Clover</key><dict> Thank's bronxteck, now the value is changed... so this all my tests: CPU core 2 duo P9500 2,53ghz : 32bit (FakeSMC of the latest HWsensor) 64bit (FaleSMC of the latest HWsensor) 32bit (rehabman's FakeSMC.kext) 64bit (rehabman's FakeSMC.kext) 32bit (rehabman's FakeSMC.kext with modified keys) 64bit (rehabman's FakeSMC.kext with modified keys) Maybe for my cpu it would be better use the value of macbook pro 5,1 respect the 5,2 version?!?

macq Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi guys, for SMC Version (system): 1.70f5 smc-huronriver 01700F00 0005 are the above values ok. Also should we remove only the clover key mentioned in post above or all its subkeys also. thanks in advance.

Mela quadrata Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I tried again on Yosemite (enoch 2530 as bootloader) 32 bit and 64bit benchmarks Classic FakeSMC.kext (not modified): FakeSMC.kext with modified keys: As you can see no significant relevance between the first two and the last two...

bronxteck Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 remove the whole clover section i highlighted if you do not want clover to use it's defaults. usually you only need to bypass clover defaults if the smc in clover are outdated or are getting SMC updates on the app store. they could probably use some refreshing now that 10.11 is out though.
