CPU Power Management

  • CPU power management is native with SMBIOS iMacPro1,1, that means CPUFriend is not needed. If you have CPU Geekbench score is lower than me, please check your BIOS configuration. If BIOS is correct, the single score and multi score almost should be liked the result picture.

iService

  • To use iMessage and other Apple services, you need to generate your own serial numbers. This can be done using CorpNewt's GenSMBIOS. Make sure model is iMacPro1,1. Then, go Apple Check Coverage page to check your generated serial numbers. If the website tells you that the serial number is not valid, that is fine. Otherwise, you have to generate a new set.

  • Next you will have to copy the following values to your config.plist:

    • Serial Number -> PlatformInfo/Generic/SystemSerialNumber.
    • Board Number -> PlatformInfo/Generic/MLB.
    • SmUUID -> /PlatformInfo/Generic/SystemUUID. Reboot and Apple services should work.

  • If they don't, follow this in-depth guide. It goes deeper into ROM, clearing NVRAM, clearing Keychain (missing this step might cause major issues), and much more.
