VoodooPowerMini v1.2.5 - Reported Lower Voltage

(1/1)

Blackosx:
Hi Superhai

I was just doing some testing and I can report that when using VoodooPowerMini v1.2.5 in conjunction with VoodooMonitor and leaving my machine idling at the Finder,  I see the voltage drop down to 1.116V which is what I would see when running with my DSDT with coded C-states. Is this the result of the latest update?

Temperature wise, I notice a drop by 2 degrees from 46 degrees (when using v1.2.49) to 44 degrees, so this to good. For comparison when using my DSDT, I see the temperature drop to 39 degrees.

Thanks and regards

Superhai:
In idle the voltage should have been the same for both versions in theory, so that you see an difference is odd. But I did rewrite the whole calculation so it could have been a slight bug in the previous version. It does also a slight undervolting of the higher p-states, so it should run cooler during load, and could be the reason why you see a drop in temperature. I will probably add this as an modifiable option if it causes problems, and to let other users adjust it themselves.
