It seems that 6700K ssdt patch is not working with 10.11.6

See here

I did this, but I still don't reach 4.2 GHZ.

I wouldn't be suprised at all if it's the 11.6 update that throttles my Mac with 5% (from 4.2->4.0 turbo frequency) - that way Apple can compare benchmarks with new macs and Sierra with 'old' El Capitan and get a supposedly extra 5% performance with the new devices on top of the regular performance increase - even though it is complete ********.

Can we set the turbo frequency in OS X ourselves somehow? I'd like to overclock my CPU to 4.5, which it is well capable of.

You have dropped the OEM CPU PM table(s)?

How do I do this?

What puzzles me is that turbo worked fine before 11.6 update.

Find the tables you can drop:

From MaciASL, File->New From ACPI shows you a list of tables.

Or you can read the Clover boot log:

$ sudo bdmesg

You should be able to:

1) Note that the CpuPM SSDT you are injecting is present in above

2) Note any OEM CpuPM SSDT (you can drop)

3) Drop tables using Clover boot options [o] and selecting the relevant tables

4) Drop the specific tables in Clover config plist by table ID as shown here https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/ACPI#acpi_droptables
https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/ACPI#acpi_droptables
No Clover automatic P-State/C-State Patching (Generate=False)

SSDT AMLs should follow naming convention SSDT-0.aml, SSDT-1.aml etc in ACPI/Patched folder

I didnt do this, but when overclocking the CPU in BIOS (GA-170N-WIFI) I now get the turbo-boost frequency.

4.6 GHz yielded 8,5% increase in Geekbench 4 score
