Hello, i have some error, my 2500k working on min and max (x16 and x42).
I compile RevoBooth with this settings:

define LOAD_SSDT_TABLE_FROM_EXTRA_ACPI 1

define DROP_SSDT_TABLES 1

define AUTOMATIC_SSDT_PR_CREATION 7

define MAX_NUMBER_OF_P_STATES 22

define DROP_FACTORY_SSDT_TABLES 1

define NUMBER_OF_TURBO_STATES 4

In BIOS i set my multiplier at 42. (I cannot set multi for each core).
In my DSDT _PR Sections is:
Scope (_PR)
{
Processor (CPU0, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06)
{
}
Processor (CPU1, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06)
{
}
Processor (CPU2, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06)
{
}
Processor (CPU3, 0x04, 0x00000410, 0x06)
{
}
}

Also i have ACST in my SSDT.
i using model iMac12,2.
Maybe u can explain what i doing wrong.

UPD:

Also i deleted StepDataDict from IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext of iMac12,2 'cause with StepDataDict i have error, p-state stepper error 18.
But! After deleting this section, i more don't see Turbo: 1BBB, but with this section, CPU working on min multi (x16) :(

UPD #2:

I delete my SSDT.dsdt, to DSDT in PR section i add _CST section.
Trying to boot, all ok, no errors, but in ioreg, i don't see PerformanceStatearray :(
and working on x16 and x42. i dump SSDT table, and see my 22 states.
Speedstep still not working :(

p.s if i don'te add CST section, i see error
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin:PushCPU_CSTData - _CST evaluation failed
LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized
But in Automatic SSDT i have section ACST why i see this error?

UPD #3:
I Have PerformanceStates, i replace my bios with new version, now i can set for each core multiplier.
I set 42\41\40\39.
And in MSRDumper i see next steps : 16 39 40 41 42
39-42 states it's normal 'cause i set this states in bios.
But how i can do make to working other steps eg ( 18, 24, 20, 28, 35)?
In ioreg and SMC Monitor on tab P & C States i see 27states from 16 to 42 (CST info - text field in SMC monitor is empty).

UPD #4:
All working, perfectly.
Clean DSDT - without PR section.
In Config.h = Auto SSDT, P-States = 27, TurboStates = 9.
MSRDump:
MSRDumper PStatesReached: 16 21 27 33 38 39 40 41

Just one question, how i can enable more than x42 state?
If i set in bios 43 or 44, i get Kernel Panic.
How set ratios more than x42?

The reason you can't go beyond 42 is explained here.
