06-01-2010, 12:11 PM
hey, I'm running 10.6.3 on my 10v and I think speedstep is not really working. only sometimes it jumps from 1666mhz to 996, and also no steps in between. but most of the time it's stuck at 1666, even though the overall cpu utilisation is only at around 10-20%. I tried going back to the voodoopowermini kext, but as soon as I load that with the update extra tools from nbi I get a kernel panic at startup. is this normal? how is speedstep behaving for everyone else? cheers, 4saken |

I'm using only the kexts that came with NBI to achieve it and I monitor with CPUi.kext and CPU-i.app. Frequency and voltage vary. Oh and, yes I could be less specific.

I'm using speedstep with 10.6.3 (also used it with 10.6.2). It's the only additional kext I'm using. It functions perfectly. |

could you post the voodoopower kext you're using with 10.6.3? I think the newest version from the website is causing the kernel panics. |

ok, I'll give that kext a try and see how it works ---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ---------- cool, that was the right advice. I tried the leopard version of the voodoopowermini kext and now speedstep is working again. steps through all the frequencies and doesn't get stuck at 1666mhz all the time. awesome! |
