Ice1602 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hello, For some reason I'm unable to boot with all cores/threads on my Skylake i7. It works fine with 1 or 4 or 6 threads. Any clue as to why this happens? I've installed it with only 1 core, everything else works(gpu, sound, sleep, poweroff). For a few hours I got it to work with all 8, though I'm not sure what happened. My hardware: Skylake i7 GA-Z170-D3H 8GB DDR4 single channel. GTX 660 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice1602 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hmm.. looks like I figured it out somehow.. Turns out my overclock wasn't stable so I upped the voltage a bit. Weird thing was I couldn't get it to work in stock settings either and the overclock was stable in Windows. Could also be the CPU behaves weirdly in OSX (I'm using a Skylake ES for this build). ssdtPRGen is not working for my cpu, I'll try some stuff later. Thank you for your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice1602 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) I have a Skylake engineering sample. I've hacked around the script and I generated the attached ssdt.dsl file.. First I added "0000,65,800,2200,2600,4,8" in the gDesktopSkylakeCPUList in ~/Library/ssdtPRGen/Data/Skylake.cfg gDesktopSkylakeCPUList=( # # Desktop i7 Socket FCLGA1151 # i7-6700K,91,800,4000,4200,4,8 i7-6700T,35,800,2800,3600,4,8 0000,65,800,2200,2600,4,8 ......

Ice1602 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thank you so much! It works as expected. The only issue I have now is with my GTX 660, it doesn't wake up from sleep. Any ideea? I use the web driver + NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext(the only way so far I can boot without nv_disable). NVDA::setPowerState(0x2bc8a752416e7ed1, 1 -> 2) timed out after 45529 ms NVDA::setPowerState(0x2bc8a752416e7ed1, 1 -> 2) timed out after 45529 ms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 boot with nv_disable=1, remove NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext and use it http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/424-agdpfix/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1602 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thank you but it behaves the same in sleep. No worries, I plan to change it soon. I cleared the kextcache after removing it. Anything you recommend I get? Like the RX 480/ GTX 1060? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 GTX 1XXX Dont have support now, need wait Nvidia 480 work i use gtx 9xx, just install web driver and agdp fix but, i think u 660 work oob, just need agdpfix / iMac17,1 need Agdp i think u dont need web drivers, Apple drivers is better than web drivers in boot clover screen, press O, go to smbios and put iMac14,2, test it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1602 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Thanks man, iMac14,2 in smbios + apple drivers did the trick. I owe u lot of beers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 but the ideal is...iMac17,1 smbios + agdp fix iMac14,2 is a 4 generation intel processor, but work Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1602 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hey, sorry for bugging you, I'm getting some random reboots/KP, any ideea how to debug this? I tried to disable every 3rd party kext but nothing worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice1602 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 This is really random, it can happen after 1 minute I login, or after 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1602 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Looks like it was some strange kexts I tried previously (for audio). I removed them and it seems to be ok so far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 if ur audio codec is a alc1150, used applealc version without Lilu https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC/releases/tag/1.0.19 my codec is alc1150 and after lilu plug in, dont work good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1602 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 It does feel more stable, but I still get once or twice a day a freeze or a KP and I'm not sure how to debug this. Any advice? Also, about the AMD RX 480, does it still need IGP enabled? Every tutorial I found needed the IGP on in bios, that's not ideal. Any tutorial I should follow? Otherwise I will wait until it is fully supported by Apple drivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaLd0n Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 remove ur pike ssdt and try with clover, add Generate P/C states, take a test Video, yes only with options 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1602 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 I still get freezes Is it possible that OSX re-enables C6/c7 states on the CPU? I have them disabled in BIOS, my PSU is not compatible with these states, I have an 2012 Seasonic 620w, it freezes in Windows when c6/c7 are enabled and it is a documented issue. I don't have a newer PSU around to test if this is the issue. If OSX enables them again, is it possible to override this somehow? Like in SSDT? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice1602 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Ok, so booting with -gux_no_idle solved all my issues. It also works with SMBIOS 17.1, no sleep issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
