AppleIntelInfo on Sandy Bridge i7 2600K

[StevenToast]

The mobo is Asus P8Z68-V Pro (with patched bios) and i7 2600K. No SSDT installed because the CPU runs only at 1600 Mhz. I don't know exactly why max turbo is 5900 MHz because in BIOS is set at 4400 MHz (I hope is a bug), but aside from that are my P & C states OK? I have no idea what to expect

good PM in SB, u need generate one ssdt and drop two oem ssdt, CPUPM and CPU0IST

 

Added in 49 seconds:

SS above looks good, generate c3, c6 and good pstates

[StevenToast]

If I put SSDT (generated with SSDT Automator) I will get 1600 MHz only, or just 1600 and 4400 (which will result in CPU being always in max mode). Sometimes with SSDT I can see "P state stepper error 18 at step 2 on CPU0 to 7" error message.

I can't figure out why. BIOS is pathed with UEFI Patch 0.3.9 (OSX CPU Power Management patches # Remove lock from MSR 0xE2 register). This is the best I could do so far with CPU states.

What you see in the picture, is with NO SSDT.

[MaLd0n]

if u use ssdt u don't need nothing in config.plist about it, u use very wrong config

[StevenToast]

So, once again:

Case 1). Using SSDT + empty config (no Generate Pstates, no Generate cStates, no Enable C2 > C6) results in

"P state stepper error 18 at step 2 on CPU0 to 7" error message during boot and CPU working only at 1600 MHz.

Case 2) Not using SSDT and having the config that you see in my picture, results in CPU going all the way up to 4400 MHz and the report I posted from AppleIntelInfo.kext.

run a geekbench and compare results, i think best result is 12k + or -
