Modify macOS CPU Performance

English | 中文

Instruction

The script is only for most 5th-10th generation CPU yet. I will try to add support for more models if needed.

The script can modify low frequency mode and energy performance preference, and use ResourceConverter.sh to generate customized CPUFriendDataProvider.kext.

By using this script, no file under the System folder will be edited. If you are not happy with the modification, just remove CPUFriend*.kext from /CLOVER/kexts/Other/ and restart.

Before install

NOTE: It is recommended to disable CPUFriend.kext and CPUFriendDataProvider.kext before a macOS upgrade. You need to re-generate CPUFriendDataProvider.kext whenever you update to a new macOS version; otherwise, you may suffer from bad PM or even kernel panic.
