Chameleon RC5 rev184 from your link
Chameleon RC 5 build 498
from the build on page 24
http://osx86.co/f57/guide-evga-x58-s...54/page24.html
Both of these claim automatic generation of P-States and C-States-I could not find either of them and used the newest Chameleon r691(?) from Dec 2010.
Do you think that my assumption that the newest one included the features claimed to be in these others was a mistake?
I used the kexts from page 24 with build 691(?). I have no additional power handling kexts, The benefit from this build versus the NullCPUPowermanagment.kext is my temps. Previously with the NullCPUPowermanagment.kextI I idled at ~55c, but when I ran only 4 of the yes >/dev/null in terminal, my temps shot up to over 80c quickly. Now I can get 16 of them going with only a marginal increase in temperatures.
.
I know this is a noob question. Can I change my Chameleon rxxx on an existing build?
I ran MSRtools.
no speed stepping
no throttling 3.05 ghz processor is running at 1.58ghz - 52%
I ran an app that overloads a core while watching MSRtools. MSRtools showed no changing values.
In console there were a couple loading kexts errors regarding my non-ownership of root device. I had never looked at the console before. In 64bit I had a non 64bit IO kext error also.
Thank-you
