@etorix There is no such thing as "OpenCore-style CPU Power Management".  SSDT-PLUG-ALT is a ACPI Table from the OpenCore Package by Acidanthera which enables XCPM CPU Power Management for Alderlake CPUs in macOS (aka sets X86PlatformPlugin to "1"). The table would also work in Clover since it address ACPI which is OS-agnostic. It has nothing to do with the Bootmanager you use.

 

I can confirm that SSDT-PLUG-ALT does work with Clover 5142 as well.

Hello Developers

It's frustrating that I can't test it on my end.
In Clover, does OpenCore's Kernel/Quirks/ProvideCurrentCpuInfo
is already working on Alder lake?
According to the report, it looks very good because E-core can be used, which reduces the impact on the rest of the OS.
The 12th-gen is still too expensive for me to buy. DDR5 in particular is in short supply in Japan and the price is skyrocketing.
Thank you very much.

 

@Slice @Jief_Machak

 

I second the motion. That's confirm utility to update OC Integration to 0.7.6

[SavageAUS]

@Slice Can you help me please.

When i boot with Clover 5142 eebffc9de all of my animations run at double speed.

When i boot with OpenCore system works fine.

AMD system in signature.

Both configs added.

Screen recording of AppStore video speeding through.

Already done.

looks like kernel patch analogous to existing patch for other non-supported CPUs. I may look but not now.

??? ConsoleGop is not depending on CPU.

 

Anyway these patches will not appear in Clover if just update OC to 0.7.6.

Hi, after update of ASUS CrossHair VI Hero MB's BIOS previously working Clover 5141 always got frozen before login desktop. It seems not related to AMD KernelToPatch ?

Can anyone check my config.plist and give me help to fix it ?

[Guest 5T33Z0]

@jsl2000 I don't see any obvious differences between the 2 configs. Did you check if you have the latest AMD kernel patches for your cpu and macOS version? You could try to copy the raw text from the old config with Text Mode in Clover Configurator into a new config file and see if this makes a difference.

Thanks and there's difference of KernelToPatch between these two config.plist.

One is from previous working Clover 5140.1 in more complicated patches, the other one is from the newest patches in brief form.

Both were working before update of BIOS, but always got frozen during booting by Clover 5141 or 5142 now.

No such an issue by OpenCore 0.7.5 or 0.7.6 in the same Ryzen 1700X hackintosh.

[Solved]

Based upon carlo_67's config.plist with minor modification for my special hardware requirement it can boot Big Sur and Monterey successfully with Clover 5141 again !

This will require incorporating the appropriate OpenCore 0.7.7 commit into Clover, to get the last version of this quirk and use all threads of Alder Lake (P+E+HT).

 

There are many Z690 boards which use DDR4 rather than DDR5. Also "small die" Alder Lake (up to 6 P-cores, no E-cores) and the lesser chipsets H670, B660 should be released next month. This will provide cheaper options… as long as you have a suitable dGPU.

Can anyone here please help me. @Slice

I posted a little while ago on a different thread (monterey thread) but i do believe it is a clover issue as opencore works fine.

After not using my AMD hack for a little while i booted up and noticed "fast animations" like the video in the app store that goes for 15 seconds only runs for like 6 seconds on my machine before looping, cursor blink is double speed and the clock widget seconds hand moves twice as fast as it should.

 

This only happens with Clover and not OpenCore but id prefer to use Clover.

 

I have attached the configs from both versions to see if anyone can "spot the difference" or tell me whats wrong with my clover setup.

That's probable bug of Clover 5142. You may try Clover 5141 to fix it.

I have tried downgrading to 5141 and 5140.1 and nothing changes. Still get the same fast speed, Also wifi behaves erratically switching off and on. No such issues with OpenCore

It is probably bus speed. Make some analisys (sudo sysctl ... for example) to see what bus speed determined by Clover and by OpenCore.

[MacKonsti]

Hello @Slice can you please confirm that Clover 5142 injects something open-core related?

I am getting an out-of-nowhere NVRAM parameter that is confusing Hackintool in believing that I am running OpenCore (when in Auto-detect mode):

% nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version
4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version	UNK-000-0000-00-00

% nvram -d 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version

% nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version    
4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version	UNK-000-0000-00-00

Is by any chance Clover injecting this due to code-parts being used from OpenCore?

I cannot delete this parameter from NVRAM in two different hacks using Clover 5142... and this was not there with r5139 as Hackintool worked 100%.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

 

EDIT: This is not happening on r5139...

I am not sure if it is wrong variable as we partially using OC. But I will try to eliminate this.

Each picture is labelled with the boot loader it was taken with.

I see no the label.

I can recommend you to set config.plist->CPU->BusSpeedkHz=100000

In my FX-6300 hackintosh I must set config.plist->CPU->BusSpeedkHz=200000 to get the correct frequency for audio output without crack.

My problem is Audio yes but also all animations are double speed like the seconds hand on the clock widget.

Thanks for confirming @Slice please try to eliminate before r5143 is released, if possible? This has been very confusing to be honest. Many thanks!

 

EDIT: The value injected by OC is REL-075-2021-11-02 for example.

But if you do that in Clover, Hackintool and possibly other tools will consider as OC being the bootloader not clover, so I suggest you kindly try to remove it, Slice.

I raised the issue to Headkaze on GitHub, too. Спасибо

May be set BusSpeedkHz=408000 as in OpenCore?

I also see a difference in tsc.frequency.

In my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh I found it should be set BusSpeedkHz=200010 (or 200001 to 202000) to get stable both audio and video output as well as better score in Cinebench R20. Exactly 200000 will get instant reboot before login desktop. But only set to 100000 can get normal sleep/wake-up function unfortunately with unstable audio/video play in Firefox and very poor performance score by cinebench R20 !

Just for your reference.

I can give that a try. I’m just curious as to why I need to set a value. I’ve been using clover on my amd hack for a while and never had this problem before and I don’t see any reports of anyone else having this issue.

 

sysctl -a | grep freq
hw.busfrequency: 400000000
hw.busfrequency_max: 400000000
hw.busfrequency_min: 400000000
hw.cpufrequency: 14400000000
hw.cpufrequency_max: 14400000000
hw.cpufrequency_min: 14400000000
hw.tbfrequency: 1000000000
machdep.tsc.frequency: 6800000006

Setting to 400000 Makes everything go in slow motion, like half speed instead of double speed.

I will try 200000.

Below is at 200000 exactly and system seems to running at normal speed now.

The values in the below saection are still very different from what i get with OpenCore so i am not sure which one is correct.

sysctl -a | grep freq
hw.busfrequency: 200000000
hw.busfrequency_max: 200000000
hw.busfrequency_min: 200000000
hw.cpufrequency: 7200000000
hw.cpufrequency_max: 7200000000
hw.cpufrequency_min: 7200000000
