DSDT issue... maybe you can create a new one using your new CPU or edit your old one. 

 

Try using NullCPUPowerManagement.kext in the download section in Hackintosh Vietnam Tool. 

 

Boot with your 920 then install kext, reboot to see if it loads under the extensions "About This Mac" goto "System Reports"  then "Software" last "Extensions". if it loads then your set switch over to your x5670. 

 

Then learn how to generate a new DSDT and edit's it needs by looking at the one from the 920. 

 

From those X58 days I remember Masterchef, and when this whole thing about getting native power management working came to fruition, Its a huge learning curve from what I remember. Don't let it scare you we have tools for that now and you can do it by using certain keys at boot to generate a vanilla one, you must edit the DSDT to be effective.
