-> moved from Guides section to the correct Support section...

 

Ok, we need to clarify a few things...

 

The Precision M4400 is a mobile workstation, i.e. a powerful business laptop but a laptop nevertheless. As such, it cannot be fitted with Xeon Q9300 which is a 95W Yorkfield desktop workstation/server CPU. This also means it's not an IvyBridge-EP CPU. These indications must result from the fact you opted for an incorrect MacPro6,1 SMBIOS instead of a MacBookPro.

 

You really should identify the real specs of your M4400 so that you know what's it's built on. It'll be a Penryn Core2Duo or maybe a Core2Extreme CPU and, in all likelihood, one of those late FSB1066 model. The correct SMBIOS model to opt for will be MacBookPro7,1.

 

With regards to CPU heat, it's probably not running with adequate power management (if any at all), so you need to look that up ahead of anything else.

 

With regards to graphics, you'll have to proceed with the AGPM tuning I had detailed several years ago on the forum.
