cele_82 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi,I'm about to install OSX on the known working DELL Optiplex 780 platform.The system has a Intel Q45 Express chipset, and a Core 2 Quad Q9650, as I've used in the past a laptop with proper power management working I was wondering if you think that on such chipset and CPU is possible to enable power management, as I would like to not leave the CPU at 3GHz all the time...Do I just need a proper DSDT ? Or also SSDT (or is that only for iX processors ?)Do you think it's do-able ?I'm thinking to install 10.9Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The power management can be configured with simple steps, but you need buy a external video for use OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cele_82 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 The power management can be configured with simple steps, but you need buy a external video for use OS X. Thanks for the answer, I did custom builts in the past and also modded/patched kexts to make systems more compatible... example the Toshiba R830 guide I did... but when it comes to DSDT I never managed to create one that actually works... Can you please specify these simple steps ? Do you have an Optiplex as well ? Or a Core2 ? Yes for the video card I'm thinking nVidia 630/730. Thanks!

Allan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 DSDT is not obligatory, we will use DSDT only if is really necessary. Like Patch for Video, LPCB, etc... For the power management in Core 2 families just mark the P e C states in the bootloader is necessary. You read the guide above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
