DMCrimson Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I know this is an old horse, but at the moment, I'm running LaunchDaemon to move AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext out from S/L/E, thus disabling it altogether. With default values, the system freezes. This all began with Mavericks, and back then I was able to alter the values so that everything worked. Then I suffered a HD crash, and wasn't wise enough to have a backup In went Yosemite and all h*** broke loose, once again... At that point I found out the webdrivers fom nVidia, and resorted to launchdaemon method. But now I think it'd be better to stop removing the kext and use "proper" values instead. Also, I've planned for a long time to remove the heatsink from the chip and replacing the thermal paste. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMCrimson Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Oh well, as of now, I disabled the LaunchDaemon and upgraded to 15F28b, let's see if I get artifacts due to MCP overheating... (Distortion, then display locking, with only mouse pointer moving) Which was why I did edit the kext earlier, and disabled it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
