Title: bootplim=0 / forced_idle_ratio=100 — Package C-states stuck at 0% on Z390 + i5-9600K (Ventura) cpufriendkext andCPUFriendDataProvider also added --- System: - Board: Gigabyte Z390I Aorus Pro WiFi (BIOS F8h) - CPU: Intel i5-9600K - SMBIOS: iMac19,1 - macOS: Ventura 13.7.8 (22H730) - OpenCore: 0.9.7 (REL-107) - Boot: USB OpenCore (test EFI) --- Problem: Package C-states are completely stuck at 0% across all states (C2/C3/C6/C7/C8/C9/C10). Individual core C-states work fine (C6 at 84–97% residency). powermetrics shows TURBO_ATTENUATION limiter active even at 2.6W idle. Key sysctl values on every boot: machdep.xcpm.bootplim: 0 machdep.xcpm.forced_idle_ratio: 100 machdep.xcpm.mid_cst_control_limit: 0 IORegistry X86PlatformPlugin shows: CPUPLimitDict: pMax=0, pMin=38 IdlePLimitDict: pMax=0, pMin=100 IGPUPLimitDict: pMax=0, pMin=16 ForcedIdleTable is active --- What I have tried (none resolved bootplim=0): 1. AppleCpuPmCfgLock: true 2. AppleXcpmCfgLock: true 3. AppleXcpmExtraMsrs: true 4. ProvideCurrentCpuInfo: true 5. CFG Lock disabled via GRUB (MSR 0xE2 confirmed 0x00) 6. MSR 0xE2 kernel NOP patch (correct bytes for kernel 22.6.0) 7. SSDT-PMC — already present in SSDT-OLARILA 8. BIOS C-state settings — C8/C10 enabled, Package C State = Auto 9. BIOS SGX disabled 10. BIOS PL1/PL2 manually set to 95W (no visible setting on this board) 11. wrmsr 0x610 via GRUB shell with correct PL1=PL2=95W value 12. boot-args: xcpm_pkg_scope_msrs=1, xcpm_idle_disable=1 — both ignored --- MSR values read via modGRUBShell: MSR 0x606 (Power Unit): 0xa0e83 → 0.125W per unit MSR 0x610 (Pkg Power): 0x42ffd0001affd0 → PL1=PL2=0x7FFF (unlimited/no limit) MSR 0x1FC (Power Control): 0x38005f → power mgmt enabled The BIOS writes 0x7FFF (unlimited) to MSR 0x610 on this board and resets it on every boot. wrmsr fix doesn't survive reboot. --- Root cause assumption: On a real iMac19,1, X86PlatformPlugin reads CPU power budget from SMC keys (MSAL, PDTR) rather than MSR 0x610. VirtualSMC + SMCProcessor do not publish these SMC power budget keys, so X86PlatformPlugin receives nothing, sets bootplim=0, and activates ForcedIdleTable permanently. --- Question: Is there a known fix or workaround for this on Z390 + Coffee Lake desktop? Specifically — does SSDT-OLARILA or any custom SSDT provide a way to inject the missing SMC power budget data, or is there a VirtualSMC plugin that covers MSAL/PDTR for iMac19,1 SMBIOS? CPUFriend is working correctly (vectors_loaded_count=1, CPUFloor=800MHz, P-states 800MHz–4600MHz all correct). The only remaining issue is the package-level power budget injection. Archive.zip

Hi, Recently I have done cloning of drive from 3.5HDD to NVME SSD, while booting, when I select NVME drive, it starts to load , But I couldn't see the boot OS , other menu's appear like EFi Shell, Reset Nvram such like. All the files clone done include OS. @MaLd0n, Appreciate your help. Thank you. OS .jpg.zip

Thank you MaLdN0n, now it is working fine, It is great.. I have Mac Keyboard, since I am using Intel wifi + BT card, during Boot up, key board not getting connected via BT , not able to move selection... Is it so in using Intel BT ?? Broadcom works fine.. Can you clarify it? is it same for USB BT adapter as well?

Hi, I am facing issue on wifi. after every boot, need to turn on the wifi Manually. Intel Wifi & BT which is On board MB: z390i Aorus Pro wifi. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ju8VgvYiGrPTk1eLaX--F8nw1lkc5M3u/view?usp=sharing Appreciate your help.

Hello Daniel Maldonado, As you suggested in Fakebook chat, I am creating this request. looking your help for the robust EFI, for the z390i GB Board. fortunately I got your thread in the FB page. https://m.facebook.com/groups/olarila/permalink/2114419255306330/?mibextid=Nif5oz Links we not working to access the file / patch. Appreciate your support EFI from the backup data. Cheers Kathir

Hi , I am using Ventura latest OS, did Clone drive using Carbon copy cloner. EFI file also copied to Backup drive. while Booting I selected Backup drive , EFI loaded and start to Boot. but OS starts from SSD (not from back up drive), I can see SSD Booting speed than Normal HDD drive speed. Recently I see this behavior, Does it happen like this? Does apple changed OS booting policy?? How to properly boot from Back up drive. when check Booted EFI (OC), It shows as Back up drive for the EFI. Appreciate with your help.

Hi, Issue resolved by deleting entry in Device Properties of "Cannon Lake PCH SMBus Controller" Now I will check for a week. Do you know why Proximtywake as 1 in Hackintool Power Tab? Gigabyte z390i Aorus Pro WIfi , wifi card: BCM card, i5-9600k, 500gb SSD, 16gb Ram , iMac 19,1 OS: Ventura Beta 3. Appreciate your Guidance. Cheers... Proximitywake.zip

Thank you MaLd0n, Awesome man, It works perfectly.... ?

Hi, I am not able to update from Ventura Beta 2 -> Beta 3. Multiple times tried.. MB: GB z390i Aorus Pro-wifi, i5-9600k, OC: 0.8.2 Send me file : https://drive.google.com/file/d/13iqzCaqdNnWMqGyeVrzfBTbOap0aX4Xc/view?usp=sharing Image: Archive.zip

Hi, I have tried it too... Still issue remain same... ?

Hi, I am using Gigabyte z390i Aorus Pro WIfi , wifi card: BCM card, i5-9600k, 500gb SSD, 16gb Ram..

Thank you for the quick response Mald0N, I have tried it with USB stick. Issue remain... Not able to put sleep, (Monitor goes black), Still RGB Fan spinning and LED's ON...

Hi, I am using 0.8.2 EFI Opencore Coffelake Facing issue that sleep not working from Ventura update. Can you check and Guide me? Previous OS working fine with same Configuration and USB connected devices. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i5T3TPKIx9s4Hc2NBeWhNwzxxTjb9n0K/view?usp=sharing for Testing purpose, I have used the Olarila 0.8.2 EFI via USB, when I try command for Sleep, It goes and Wakes up again.. I mean RGB Cooler LED's and Fan's Working. From the Ventura update, I think this issue started...

Thanks MaLd0n, it has been updated, working fine....

Hi , I am using OC 0.7.7 Can I update OS Ventura from this OC version? When I try OC 0.8.2 via USB, I couldn't able to enable Allow NVRAM Reset and Tools Option? How Can I enable it? System Spec: i5-9600K, GB z390i Aorus Pro wifi, BCM card, Monterey 12.5 beta, 16GB RAM Thanks K
