[GUIDE] HWP(Intel Speed Shift) enable with full power management

No. You should load X86* via a tiny SSDT like you previously did.

I did, but still don't see X86PlatformPlugin in my ioreg. I attached ioreg, config and SSDTs could you please check it and tell me what is wrong?

@telepati

- did you try the bundle i posted?

- i don't see your SSDT for CPU - small one or one via Pike's ssdtPRgen ?

Obviously you are missing a proper SSDT for 'plugin-type'. Absolutely. Like @tluck said.

Yup. Try to add that and check again.

With Clover-4016 you can set HWPEnable=true and Generate P-States=true and Clover will generate SSDT table with only plugin-type=1 without actual p-states.

Ok, guys I did what you said and it works X86PlatformPlugin came back. But I wonder why we need the SSDT for CPU? as I know (Probably I don't know ) if we set HWP value we don't need SSDT for CPU, is that right or wrong?

tluck · February 21, 2017

as we just heard from Slice, if using Clover 4016 with HWPEnable and PStates true - then an extra SSDT for P states is not needed.

but before 4016, seems a proper SSDT for P states (or mini-SSDT ) is needed.

the HWP value will set the parameters.

AsmWriteMsr64 (MSR_IA32_HWP_REQUEST, gSettings.HWPValue);

i have not used this method - as I am using the X86Platform injector.

Absolutely wrong. HWP value is a part of FrequencyVectors, and note that you must load x86* first of all. (FrequencyVectors is also a part of X86*) So we need plugin-type = 1 to load x86* on our hacks, which is that tiny SSDT does.

I think so. Clover should only help us inject plugin type = 1 in this case cuz we have been almost done except plugin type to load x86...

Thank you guys, I learned many things about HWP on this threat. :thumbsup_anim:

my x86* loads without plugin-type=1..my cpu is i5-6500

Sorry I don't check what Pike changed for his AppleIntelInfo and thus I don't what goes wrong. And in China now it's a little late. About to sleep

But for hw bus frequency, try to set config.plist -> CPU -> QPI to 100

I asked him and he says, forgot to add

#define REPORT_HWP 1

#define REPORT_HDC 1

But he fixed it. I can see the all HWP now.

CPU -> QPI to 100 worked. I don't see any error. Thank you. :thumbsup_anim:

Check 'FrequencyVectors' array in your desired plist. Then locate to bit[4], it looks like this:

02000000 0D000000 01000000 00000000
         ^^

The 0x0D means 13 in decimal. Which is your LFM (Lowest Frequency Mode), change this to 0x08, then you will get 800 MHz frequency.

Are there disadvantages of moving from iMac 17,1 to MBP 13,1 in SMBIOS? I have a desktop Kaby Lake i5-7600k build that uses a SSDT from ssdtPRGen.

Or should I change it and activate this?

tluck · March 8, 2017

well it is not obvious to me that there is HWP support in the iMac17,1 profile (vs 13,1 that certainly does):

Sure. I just mean - does the SMBIOS just impact the CPU or does it also change things with the motherboard etc? It feels weird to change to a laptop profile for my desktop.

Hi, i think my HWP configuration is not working well.

I have a Core i7-6700k (Skylake) processor. I have drop all the CPU ssdt tables. Only add SSDT-pr.aml (plugin) and remove the ssdt tables previously generated by ssdtPRGen.sh.

I have a HWPValue of 0x20002A01, check HWPEnable and UseARTFrequency in Clover config.plist

I set mac model to iMac17,1 and a board-id of Mac-65CE76090165799A.

The power in Intel Power Gadget change but the Frequency stay at the top: 4,00Ghz

What can i check/test to have a full working HWP ?

EDIT: as i reread the thread, i can't use Mac17,1 if i want to enable HWP ? If yes what is the "best" model for my Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 with a Core i7 6700k ?

@JrCs

for iMac17,1 perhaps its a matter of blending the MBP13,3 (for skylake) or MPB14,x (kabylake) profiles to create an appropriate resource file for your system(s).

i would test with a "laptop" model, then configure the resource profile to see how it behaves.

# 15-inch with Touch Bar / Touch ID
# Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2.6 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.5 GHz)
# Intel Core i7-6820HQ 2.7 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.6 GHz)
# Intel Core i7-6920HQ 2.9 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.8 GHz)

Hi, i think my HWP configuration is not working well.

I have a Core i7-6700k (Skylake) processor. I have drop all the CPU ssdt tables. Only add SSDT-pr.aml (plugin) and remove the ssdt tables previously generated by ssdtPRGen.sh.

I have a HWPValue of 0x20002A01, check HWPEnable and UseARTFrequency in Clover config.plist

I set mac model to iMac17,1 and a board-id of Mac-65CE76090165799A.

The power in Intel Power Gadget change but the Frequency stay at the top: 4,00Ghz

What can i check/test to have a full working HWP ?

EDIT: as i reread the thread, i can't use Mac17,1 if i want to enable HWP ? If yes what is the "best" model for my Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3 with a Core i7 6700k ?

@JrCs

Please try this one I made for your 6700K on iMac17,1

X86PlatformPluginInjector.kext.zip

This will give you HWP support on iMac17,1.

hanks @syscl for the kext.

The problem is that kernel panic at boot with your kext install in /S/L/E

Hi @JrCs

You may please try this one? I think the FrequencyVectors on different iMac17,1 board-ids may be the same. So just simply rename the file name to yours.

EDIT: Yes! I tried diff, no changes between Mac-DB15BD556843C820 and Mac-65CE76090165799A, and just rename the attachment!

@Slice had confirmed that it worked.

Hi @JrCs, do you use _xcpm_idle patch for kernel as well?

<key>KernelToPatch</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>MSR 0xE2 _xcpm_idle instant reboot(c) Pike R. Alpha</string>
				<key>Disabled</key>
				<false/>
				<key>Find</key>
				<data>
				ILniAAAADzA=

				<key>MatchOS</key>
				<string>10.12</string>
				<key>Replace</key>
				<data>
				ILniAAAAkJA=
				</data>
			</dict>
		</array>

We need this patch to stop kernel panic.

Thanks @PMHeart and @syscl, it's working now.

For my information where do you get the VectorFrequency for the plist and what do you change in it for the 6700k ?

Also in Slice test:

(

i see a green graph: GT. What is that graph ?
