If you have any problems with CoolBook.
Start everything from scratch, uninstall and follow every step CAREFULLY as pointed here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...mavericks-details-here.1662099/#post-22946432
CoolBook is currently working on my 2010 MBA with El Capitan.
Some tips for cookbook. When connected to the power cord make sure to find the sweet point between lowest acceptable voltage and highest frequency without crashing. In my case it was 0.9250 V (the lowest I can actually go) for 1866 MHz as opposed to the 1.0375V and 1866 MHz the system will use by default.
You find this spot by testing all frequencies until one of them "crashes" under heavy load. Once you find it just use the one above it.
When on battery, I don't recommend setting it on the lowest frequency as we already have low machines and even using Safari at something lower than 1000 MHz (800 or 900 MHz are the options I can choose) would make it lag when opening new tabs. So get the middle or high frequency and set it to the same lowest acceptable voltage.

how did you get Coolbook to even launch under Sierra? and how did you get it set up after that?
How did you manage to get it work on Sierra? It doesn't even open on my case.
