quattrofx Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 For all the people who need info´s about specifications of original MAC´s, I´ve made a List: SystemIdentifier + SMBoardID My suggestion is to find similar MAC configuration as your hardware (CPU Model, DDRAM Clock, etc.) and than choose appropriate System identifier + SMBoardID. (For noobie´s: google to find out how to change this in your apple.smbios.plist) Please post your testing results! iMac 11.1 F2268DAE The iMac "Core i5" 2.66 27-Inch Aluminum (Late 2009) is powered by a 2.66 GHz Quad Core Intel "Core i5" I5-750 (Lynnfield/Nehalem) processor with a dedicated 256k level 2 cache for each core and an 8 MB shared level 3 cache.

MacPro2.1 F4208DC8 The Mac Pro "Eight Core" 3.0, which identifies itself via a unique MacPro2,1 model identifier, is a custom configuration of the original Mac Pro. It is powered by two 3 GHz Quad Core Xeon X5365 (Clovertown) processors with 8 MB of dedicated level 2 cache per processor, a 128-bit SSE3 vector engine, and 1.33 GHz "64-bit dual independent frontside buses." By default, it was configured with 1.0 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 ECC "fully-buffered" FB-DIMM memory (with a heatsink design that is a bit different from generic FB-DIMMs), a 250 GB (7200 RPM) 3 Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, a double-layer 16X "SuperDrive", and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video card with 256 MB of GDDR2 SDRAM, one dual-link DVI port and one single-link DVI port. MacPro3,1 F42C88C8 The Mac Pro "Eight Core" 2.8 (Early 2008) is powered by two 2.8 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Intel Xeon E5462 (Harpertown/Penryn) processors with 12 MB of level 2 cache per processor (each pair of cores shares 6 MB), a 128-bit SSE4 SIMD vector engine, and 1.6 GHz "64-bit dual independent frontside buses." Via custom configuration, this model could be equipped with a single 2.8 GHz Quad Core Xeon E5462 processor, two 3 GHz Quad Core Xeon E5472 processors, or two 3.2 GHz Quad Core Xeon X5482 processors. By default, it was configured with 2 GB of 800 MHz DDR2 EEC "fully-buffered" FB-DIMM memory, a 320 GB (7200 RPM, 8 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, a double-layer 16X "SuperDrive", and an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics processor with 256 MB of GDDR3 memory and two dual-link DVI ports. MacPro4,1 F221BEC8 The Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.66 (Early 2009/Nehalem) is powered by one 2.66 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Xeon W3520 (Nehalem) processor with a dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for each core and 8 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache. By default, it was configured with 3 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a 640 GB (7200 RPM, 16 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, an 18X dual-layer "SuperDrive" and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512 MB of GDDR3 memory. MacPro5.1 F227BEC8 The Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.8 (Mid-2010/Nehalem) is powered by a single 2.8 GHz Quad Core 45-nm Xeon W3530 (Nehalem) processor with a dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for each core and 8 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache. Via custom configuration, it also can be equipped with a single3.2 GHz Quad Core "Nehalem" Xeon (W3565) processor or a single 3.33 GHz Six Core "Westmere" Xeon (W3680) processor. By default, it is configured with 3 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a 1 TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, an 18X dual-layer "SuperDrive" and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory. MacPro5.1 F227BEC8 Offered as a custom configuration of the Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.8 (2010/Nehalem), but with significant technical differences, the Mac Pro "Six Core" 3.33 (Mid-2010/Westmere) is powered by a single 3.33 GHz Six Core 45-nm Xeon W3680 (Westmere) processor with a dedicated 256k of level 2 cache for each core and 12 MB of "fully shared" level 3 cache. By default, it is configured with 3 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM, a 1 TB (7200 RPM, 32 MB cache) 3Gb/s Serial ATA hard drive, an 18X dual-layer "SuperDrive" and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory. MacPro5.1 Series: Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.8 (2010/Nehalem)2.8 GHz Q. Core Xeon W3530 Mac Pro "Six Core" 3.33 (2010/Westmere)3.33 GHz 6 Core Xeon W3680 Mac Pro "Eight Core" 2.4 (2010/Westmere)2.4 GHz Q. Core Xeon E5620 x2 Mac Pro "Twelve Core" 2.66 (2010/Westmere)2.66 GHz 6 Core Xeon X5650 x2 Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.8 (Server)2.8 GHz Q. Core Xeon W3530 Mac Pro "Six Core" 3.33 (Server)3.33 GHz 6 Core Xeon W3680 Some MacPro3.1 and MacPro4.1 models may vary: Although the "Early 2009/Nehalem" models look practically the same externally as the "Early 2008" models, there are major technical differences. The 64-bit "Nehalem" architecture is substantially faster and supports "Hyper-Threading" -- which "allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core" (so MacOS X recognizes eight "virtual cores" on this model) -- and "Turbo Boost" -- which "automatically boosts the processor speed based on workload" (so if an application is only using one of the four cores it will automatically increase the speed of the core in use and turn off the unused cores). It also replaces the frontside bus with a new "QuickPath Interconnect" (QPI) system described as a "bidrectional, point-to-point connection" that provides "quick access to the disk, I/O, and other Mac Pro subsystems". Other changes include four PCIe 2.0 slots (instead of two PCIe and two PCIe 2.0 slots), four Firewire "800" ports (instead of two Firewire "400" and "800" ports), and a redesigned interior case with the processors and memory on a removable "tray".

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 If anyone is using the MacPro3,1 model identifier and Geekbench doesn't say 'Hackintosh', please share your smbios.plist and other info. Thanks! To find SMBIOS data from real Macs for use on your Hack, google 'model identifier DMI', for example iMac11,1 DMI, and follow the links that go to Linux Bug Report sites. In most cases you can find much more useful information than just DMI data. If you want to match your model identifier closely with your hardware, this is the best way to find the required information. Don't waste your time visiting the Apple site, or you'll be swiftly brainwashed into believing that Macs run on unicorn farts and pocket fluff. Besides affecting software compatibility, on a deeper level which model identifier you use will affect CPU and GPU Power Management. For laptops, it's advised to use a MacBook model identifier. If you need a specific model identifier for some reason but using it cripples your Power Management, you can get around it by creating suitable Legacy Kexts. There's lots of information about this scattered around. See Prasys' blog for smbios.plist- and how-to-create-an-authentic-serial-number guides.

quattrofx Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thanks Gringo Vermelho for useful informations: "Besides affecting software compatibility, on a deeper level which model identifier you use will affect CPU and GPU Power Management..." MacPro3.1 and MacPro 4.1 give different power save states to the video card, for example. "If you need a specific model identifier for some reason but using it cripples your Power Management, you can get around it by creating suitable Legacy Kexts..." I was experienced by the people (also myself) having problems with their Graphics Cards becoming only half of Cinebench test results: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1593452 and wrote this Topic as additional info. That means it is not just enough to edit your SMBIOS.PLIST! You must consider a lot of other "elements" (Hardware & Software) which can be affected, as Gringo Vermelho noticed! My idea is to collect as more info´s as possible on one place to have an overview! As soon as I came home I will post here my smbios.plist + Spec. from my two Hacks : iMac11.1 and MacPro4.1 with original SMBiosversion and without "Hackintosh" issue. And all of you are welcome to add your knowledge & experience to find a best way to make our Systems closer to original with best performance!

westwaerts Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 on a real mac a lot of parameters are injected in the ACPI SMC Platform. Here an AGPMEnabler loads with a controller and there all the mac models are listed. in IOREG its listed under CPU0@0, but it is the graphic card power management. same AGPM is listed in NVDA ( Displays) with gpu-control, IOHWSensor CPU Management runs the same as on a mac.

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 And here is the List of original MAC smbios.plist: heh, NO. Those are the Chameleon smbios defaults: http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleo...mbios_patcher.c Most of those are not from real Macs, and some are wrong. For example, the real SMbiosdate is contained in the SMbiosversion number: SMbiosversion MB41.88Z.0073.B00.0809221748 (year-month-date) means an SMbiosdate of 09/22/08, not "04/01/2008". If you google "MB41.88Z.0073.B00.0809221748", all you get are hackintoshes! There is no real MacBook with that SMbiosversion. Try googling "MB41.88Z.00C1.B00.0802091535" instead. This is the accurate DMI info from that model: dmi.bios.date: 02/09/08 dmi.bios.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.bios.version: MB41.88Z.00C1.B00.0802091535 dmi.board.name: Mac-F22788A9 dmi.board.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.chassis.vendor: Apple Inc. dmi.chassis.version: Mac-F22788A9 dmi.product.name: MacBook4,1 dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: Apple Inc. If you want to use DMI data from real Macs in your smbios.plist, read post #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
