    Generate customized CPUFriendDataProvider.kext for dynamic macOS CPU power management

  • Posted links to what I used in the description. I kind of 'cheated' by using CPUFriend and CPUfriend dataprovoder, which I've never used before. I'll add a screenshot to the post of my EFI. Almost feel like the whole config is sloppy/dirty at this point, and I should start over again now that i know what to do.
