I also have a really good aftermarket cpu cooler. You can try my dsdt, Blackosx posted it above. It wont work if you dont have the same overclocking settings though. So be careful you dont mess up your system

Hi,
I have tried Blackosx dsdt with modified PState for E8400 CPU.
Since you are using E8400, I like to know what PState data you are using based on PStateChanger.
TQ

Hi Spacr,
Thanks for providing Pstates table for yout E8400.
Since I am not using OC, I can't used those values.
Thank you anyway

since this topic sticks to GA-EP45-DS3L, it is good idea to provide a .aml file directly for those who didn't want to spend time on building his own aml file. very happy there is a aml file provided. And want to see on how to use the file, for example what other additional kext are need after install this aml file?

A good place to start would be at my 10.6 install thread.

Hi blaclosx,
I am looking for your last DSDT which has speedstep included as your latest below does not have speedstep.

Would apprecaite if you can direct me or upload your latest DSDT which has speed step.

TQ & have a nice day.

Blackosx,
You can change the pci root value in the DSDT by changing Name (_UID, One) to Name (_UID, Zero)



Change this:

Device (PCI0)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A03"))
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_UID, One)
Name (_BBN, Zero)
Name (_STA, 0x0F)
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)

To this:

Device (PCI0)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A03"))
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_UID, Zero)
Name (_BBN, Zero)
Name (_STA, 0x0F)
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)

After doing so you can set pciroot to  0 in com.apple.Boot.plist

Hi Helob

The Generic DSDT is as the name suggests, generic, so anyone with the qualifying motherboard can use it. You can then add your own CPU data is you choose.

Here's the latest one I am using right now which includes CPU data for my E7300 @ 2.66Ghz so don't use it exactly unless you have the same.  dsdt.dsl.zip   5.13K   39 downloads
You will find my CPU data added under Scope (_SB). This is because a while back MasterChief identified that it doesn't have to be under Scope (_PR).

Hi Marby

Yes this has been discussed before somewhere in this thread and it is no longer necessary to do this as the new bootloaders support auto PCIroot detection. Try having a go with the latest Chameleon RC5 pre-release v8 and you'll find you don't need to touch this. Dr Hurt has put together an installer for the current pre-release. Run it and point it at your Cham partition.

Hi blackosx,
TQ for sharing with me your latest dsdt with speedstep.

I noticed that under  Scope (_SB)

Name (CST, Package (0x04)
        {
            0x03,
            Package (0x04) {ResourceTemplate () {Register (FFixedHW, 1, 2, 0x000,)},0x01,0x01,0x03E8},
            Package (0x04) {ResourceTemplate () {Register (FFixedHW, 1, 2, 0x010,)},0x02,0x01,0x01F4},
            Package (0x04) {ResourceTemplate () {Register (FFixedHW, 1, 2, 0x030,)},0x04,0x39,0x064}
        })

You don't used SystemIO for ResourceTemplate anymore for C2 & C4 state under Register. Instead you use FFixedHW. Any reason?

Based on my ssdt_cp0cst.dsl dump, I have
Scope (\_PR.CPU0)
    {
        Method (_CST, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            If (And (CFGD, 0x80))
            {
                Return (Package (0x04)
                {
                    0x03,
                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        ResourceTemplate ()
                        {
                            Register (FFixedHW,
                                0x00,               // Bit Width
                                0x00,               // Bit Offset
                                0x0000000000000000, // Address
                                ,)
                        },

                        0x01,
                        0x01,
                        0x03E8
                    },

                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        ResourceTemplate ()
                        {
                            Register (SystemIO,
                                0x08,               // Bit Width
                                0x00,               // Bit Offset
                                0x0000000000000414, // Address
                                ,)
                        },

                        0x02,
                        0x01,
                        0x01F4
                    },

                    Package (0x04)
                    {
                        ResourceTemplate ()
                        {
                            Register (SystemIO,
                                0x08,               // Bit Width
                                0x00,               // Bit Offset
                                0x0000000000000416, // Address
                                ,)
                        },

                        0x03,
                        0x96,
                        0x64
                    }
                })
            }

Should I change  "Package (0x04) {ResourceTemplate () {Register (FFixedHW, 1, 2, 0x030,)},0x04,0x39,0x064}" for C4 to
Package (0x04) {ResourceTemplate () {Register (FFixedHW, 1, 2, 0x030,)},0x03,0x96,0x064}?

TQ & Have a nice day

Hi helob

mm67 did some research on C-States and posted some code which that I now use. Have a look here.

Tks for the pointer.
However running the setpci -s 0:1f.0 0xa6.b command returned 00 with
Package (0x4){ResourceTemplate (){Register (FFixedHW,0x01,0x02,0x000,0x0,)},One,One,0x3E8},
Package (0x4){ResourceTemplate (){Register (FFixedHW,0x01,0x02,0x010,0x1,)},0x2,One,0x1F4},
Package (0x4){ResourceTemplate (){Register (FFixedHW,0x01,0x02,0x030,0x3,)},0x4,0x39,0x064}  or Package (0x04) {ResourceTemplate (){Register (FFixedHW,0x01,0x02,0x030,0x3,)},0x4,0x96,0x064}
So my C4 state is not working.

My knowledge doesn't go that far on this subject and I have only followed the posts in the link I posted above. If you can't find out the answer from there then maybe you can submit a post to that thread? as you might bet a faster response there.

Hi blackosx,
I saw something interesting related to dsdt.aml for Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L at InfiniteMac (http://www.infinitem...mac-bios-t5540/).
"This project consists on a hacked gigabyte bios file (based on the latest F9 bios for this board) wich you can flash to your motherboard (ONLY) trough Clean Q-Flash (without entering Bios Setup before Q-Flash), and, once booted, have a normal functional computer for any OS, and the possibility to boot under Mac OS X with enhanced features normally achieved trough the use of a DSDT.aml file.

The Final idea is having a bios that boots OSX (we will still need a bootloader for now but i pretend to implement that into bios in future releases) without the need of any DSDT.aml stored on your disk."
I thought you might be interested.
Take a look and give us your take on it.
TQ and have a nice day.

The DSDT I use here (based on mm67's) is confirmed as working on the GA-EP45-DS3L, GA-EP43-DS3L and the GA-EP45-UD3L. So although the EP45-UD3LR looks very similar it might have slight differences in it's original DSDT which would be up to you to look for.

But for your video card, I take it you are using the GraphicsEnabler boot option in you com.apple.Boot.plist? and from the data you have supplied it looks like the card is recognised okay, so have you tried connecting the display via the DVI out?  If you can't suss it then the easiest option I can suggest is you find someone else who is using the same card and check settings.

I have been searching through these post, and there are a lot, but I was trying to find any post on the mic working with alc888b and i think your guys board uses the same. has anyone fixed this and if so may i please get the link to that thread.
