I've had this computer for many a year, and have only just bothered trying to Hackintosh it.  I've got the latest Yosemite installed and nearly fully functional (I'm posting from it, with full graphics and network), but I've hit a snag with enabling sleep (hey, if my old Dell could do it, damned if I'm not gonna get this one to do it) and probably power management.  Sound doesn't work either (tried VoodooHDA), but I normally use a USB audio interface so I don't really care.

 

Specs:

Thinkcentre M57 tower (Model 9174-A1U)

Core 2 Quad Q9450

8gb DDR2

120gb Kingston SSD

EVGA Geforce 9800 GT

400w PSU

 

I've been a bit out of the loop as far as Hackintoshes go - the last one was a Dell Inspiron 530 running ML, which someone had a handy kextpack and pre-edited DSDT, so it was a snap. I'm running Chimera 4.0.1 with GraphicsEnabler working, and I believe I only have a patched AppleIntelE1000e and FakeSMC as far as Kexts go.  

 

 I've extracted my DSDT, but I'm not certain what I need to patch on it to get sleep working (or perhaps speedstep).  Any advice?

I figured out what I needed to do - I'm pretty sure it was part of the ICH9 USB sleep issue, so I patched that and the LPC fix into the DSDT (which I've now attached).  Basically the only other thing needed for this computer is the network kext (AppleIntelE1000e.kext), VoodooHDA (which now works for some reason), and of course FakeSMC.

 

Not a big deal I suppose, but I can't get Speedstep working.  CPU is a Q9450, smbios is defined as MacPro3,1, org.chameleon.boot.plist has P and C states enabled, but still no dice.
