What do you promise yourself from running your OCed CPU at full power, when your system is in idle mode?^^
When my CPU is overclocked to just 3.61 Ghz with HT, I see a significant performance benefit of disabling native power management. In Geekbench my score without NullCPUPowerManagement is around 8,000 which is pretty much the same as when the CPU is not overclocked, but I can reach scores of over 10,000 if I enable it, thus disabling AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext.

Despite this, I think I've decided that I won't actually see much advantage in overclocking the already blazing fast Core i7, but I was really hoping I could run at around 4 Ghz with HT, as I do in Windows. Really, I don't even use that much processing power, so it's more of the fact that I CAN do it rather than it bringing any tangible performance boost.

Thanks for the help
