I have a problem with high CPU usage from "kernel_task" after my upgrade to the Yosemite 10.10.3 Beta on my nMP. I can't recall if the problem existed before the upgrade, since my machine is brand new.

I tried a SMC reset to no avail. I also followed these instructions from another thread:

  1. Go to About this mac under the apple in the upper left and click on More info
  2. Click on system report
  3. make a note of what it says after Model Identifier
  4. go to your master drive – System -Library – Extensions – IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext -Contents – Plugins – ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext – Contents – Resources – find the name from step 3 and move it to a folder that you can find again if needed.
  5. Restart and you’re done

However when I look in my resources folder I don't see "MacPro6_1.plist" at all. I have a MacPro5_1.plist but I'm missing the MacPro6_1.plist.


Does nybody know how I can fix this problem on my machine?
