Warning;
BIOS F9e: S3 sleep functional with C2RC3, PCEFI10.5 and DSDT fixes
BIOS F9h: S3 sleep functional with C2RC3, PCEFI10.5 and DSDT fixes
BIOS F9i: S3 sleep doesn't fully wake with C2RC3, PCEFI10.5 and DSDT fixes

I'm using F9i and my sleep & wake is working fine, however there are some funnies

I have a 920 C0 which when set on default setting is reported on the bios splash as 2.88GHz
I'm currently at 3.5GHz according to the bios cpu screen but the splash says over 3.66GHz


I'm using PCEFI 10.5 and have followed the DSDT fixes in this thread and not getting any running errors
(the OrangeIconFix didn't work for me - the only version I found was the Leopard version though so I went back to the old IOBlock thingy whatsit). I'm running in 64bit mode by the way

Since I'm running at 3.5GHz+ is there any way of verifying that all the CPU patches were applied? I'd applied some
of the other DSDT edits already via the DSDTSE editor

What I am still looking to fix are the following

1 - get rid of EvoReboot/OpenHaltRestore kext - thought I once saw a DSDT fix for this?
2 - get wake from Bluetooth working - I've got my fourth dongle on order which I think will work as I've tried 1.1, 2.0,
     & 2.1 (without suitable firmware) versions and think I see the pattern   Sorted
3 - I'm not sure my USB EHCI in system profiler is fully correct & Mac like yet (aesthetic only?)
4 - Find documentation on what the SMC keys in FakeSMC mean
5 - Fix the following glitch in Serial-ATA

I found this kext last night and it works for me. Put in /E/E. Although it's no DSDT fix, at least you will have the info injected.

Thanks, a quick google for OpenAHCI.kext and I found this from some guy called d00d on the internet  

"Their OpenAHCI.kext showed me the device-id value I needed to add to IDE1 to correctly show Intel ICH10 AHCI in the System Profiler’s Serial-ATA section on my GA-EX58."

Means I probably missed something ...

1. I use OSXRestart.kext but it would be nice if there was a DSDT patch for that.
2. What's a dongle??
3. d00d's DSDT patches all ports for hot plug. I think the real MacPro uses this feature on only some of the ports.
4. Yeah even fakesmcv2.5 gives those errors.
5. d00d's DSDT patch identifies ICH10 properly....I still don't think its quite right since we have to use OrangeFix.kext. But along side that issue is we still need to get JMicron identified properly and/or playing nice with IOAHCIFamily.kext. I think someone is working on a kext that is 64bit, maybe that will help. As of right now, I can get the JMicron controller to identify properly but it causes KP after waking from sleep.

And one more for your list.

6. Realtek1000.kext support for wake on lan. I think this is in the works as well. I've seen numerous people discuss the lack of this feature.

A dongle is often USB plug in device that does something eg Bluetooth Adapter

Anyhow, here is my kernel log, any thoughts?

I'm currently at 3.5GHz according to the bios cpu screen but the splash says over 3.66GHz

UD5 BIOS F9h, F9i and F9j show the CPU speed at the 21 clock ratio (920 or W3520) at POST if turbo is enabled.
For example, 2.66 and turbo shows the following at POST;
2.80GHz(133x21)
Also, if you set the ratio to 21 in the MB Intelligent Tweaker screen it enables turbo in the Advanced CPU Features screen.
Previous BIOSs would only let you set the ratio to 20 in the MB Intelligent Tweaker,  and you could only enable turbo in the Advanced CPU Features screen.

I used lower case and it didn't make a difference, at least when using DSDTSE.

I'm not sure I understand, the lower case k isn't a typo, and this isn't a DSDT modification.
It's a change to fakesmc.kext/Contents/Info.plist, see post 1, number 13.

Oops, my bad. Yes it's for fakeSMC. First blonde moment I had all week. Upper/lower case doesn't matter when editing DSDT I find, but that might just be the editor correcting this when it compiles.

d00d - how do you get past the x20 multiplier?

It's more about the revision of the CPU, a D0 is generally more over clockable than a C0.
There shouldn't really be any difference between an Extreme and a UD5.
With my D0 2.66 GHz W3520 I can boot at 4.1 GHz by leaving all voltages on auto except for DRAM, and using the other settings in the 4.2 GHz template attached to post 1.

I'm not sure what you mean by `getting past the 20x ratio'.
For an i7 920 or Xeon W3520 just enable turbo in BIOS and it will get you 21x on POST and 22x in OS X.
