jeffwolf Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well I have succesfully loaded my new (but old) M4300 with 10.9, tuned the FakeSMC and switched the SMBios.plist all per the instructions on this awesome site and the the help of Hervé! I am using Kozlek's HWMonitor and noticing my CPUs are running at 597MHz and sometimes jumping to 2.6GHz once in a while. Why are both cores running at full speed? It is my understanding that they should unless told to do otherwise with issue such as overheating. I notice a serious lag sometimes when performing some pretty simple processes such as using the Finder. Also, I don't have any audio. (Probably an easy one but I'll throw it out there.) Thanks for the forum!!! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npjohnson Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 What Audio card/chipset do you have? As for speedstep.... you could try going back to using emulated speedster (generatepstates and generatecstates) and see if the problem persists, how much RAM do you have?

jeffwolf Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Sigmatel 9205 is the audio controller. 4 GB ram. Generate C & P is checked just as Herve suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 14, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2013 Let's take this offline as you probably have some incorrect settings. VoodooHDA works perfectly on that laptop. I've got no issue whatsoever with myM4300 and that runs on a [email protected]. This being said, it's perfectly normal to see your CPU cores running at the lowest speed when they are more or less idle and jump to the max frequency (and/or intermediate ones) as and when required by the actual load. There's no misbehaviour in that. There is no back-throttling due to overheating, no, that does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 14, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2013 Much better now with the right settings and kexts in place… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
