Lotustar Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 chameleon. tried clover as well. same thing. im not using dsdt or anything either. Also, ive been trying yosemite zone (niresh) and it works great excpet i get pci configuration end hang ot usbmsc hang. i can get around this by dropping a few kexts from s/l/e to extras. and as long as i dont use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] after, it reports proper cpu as 3.06. still feels sluggish for an i3 with 8g ram and an ssd.

Allan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 For you get the right states, you can try: 1 - Generate a SSDT with Piker's script. 2 - Enable P/C states in your .plist After that, check if everything is right: How to check your states – Using AICPMInfo, MSRDumper or AppleIntelInfo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotustar Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 SWEET! Thanks so much. Im going to give it a try. So far i can boot with -f and it runs PERFECT. Smooth and VERY fast. There has to be a way to save a successful boot so it will always run whats loaded without the long boot with -f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 If with -f flag your Hack works good, continue to use. And have you using kext-dev-mode=1 too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotustar Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yep it all works great now except... Wifi. I have two seperate mini pci cards i can try with an asus A06 pcie card transport. This is a desktop machine. Neither show up. Maybe you have an idea how to make one of these work? Heres what I have. Asus card holder (not sure what this called) to use the mini pci cards i have. 1st card is a BCM94311mCGHP1 2nd is a BCM4324A (also has the numbers 1020 on it. Came out of my old HP Pavillion dv9000. Thanks so much for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotustar Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 UPDATE: Got the BCM94311 to work with the Asus card holder. Had to use this kext: http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/download/547-bcm41xx-43xx-airport/ Worked great for me under Yosemite. Shows third party card but who cares. I can use airport utility. Big thanks to Allan for helping me get my CPU sorted. Thanks man!! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotustar Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 One more quick update because it's kinda funny. I did a geekbench test and my score was 880 in 32bit. What!!!? The machine still ran great until I loaded Logic pro x with Kontakt 5. Audio stutters galore. Started poking around in the case and the heat sink/fan was totally loose from cpu!! The previous owner must not have secured it properly. You could see how the thermal paste had heated up. It was a dif color. So, new paste and a proper re-seat and bench test is at 8,000. HUGE difference. I feel like such an idiot for not checking this new hardware when I got it. Oh, and Logic Pro never misses a beat now. :-) Check your hardware kids, and keep supporting this awesome forum! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCezar Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 So you're saying this was an overheating problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
