martin_weiss Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I am having a bunch of issues with power management and graphics that I haven't been able to solve on my own. They might be connected somehow. I am hoping that someone here can help me. 1) First of all I've had some graphics issues. When I boot, I get some strange stuff, see the first video (boot.mov). Also, When I open a new tab in Safari, I get some flickering (new_tab.mov), sometimes also when I switch between spaces. About My Mac shows "Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4600 1536 MB". Note: I have not applied any graphics patches. See the attached config.plist. 2) I installed Intel Power Gadget to see if power management is working. It looks like it's working from the graphs (Intel Power Gadget.png), but looking at the output of the log (Intel Power Gadget.csv), it seems like the CPU is only running at 800, 3200, 3300 and 3400 MHz, while the GPU is running at 200 MHz all the time. I have also attached the output of running AppleIntelInfo.kext (AppleIntelInfo.txt). Does this look right? Toleda has told me to set Cpu/QPI=100 (using Clover Configurator), which I have done. This changed nothing. When I run kextstat, AppleLPC.kext is not loaded. Toleda has told me that this is wrong somehow. I'm not sure why, and what to do about it. I tried ticking off Acpi/FakeLPC, but it also didn't help. I really hope someone can help me. Note: I'm using Clover.

Allan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 And how you enabled your HD 4600? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304145-power-management-and-graphics-issues-z97n-gaming-5i5-4460hd4600/#findComment-2105921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_weiss Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Basically I didn't do anything... It looks like QE/CI works (translucent menu bar etc.) out of the box. Shouldn't it? Any ideas about the power management/sleep stuff?

Allan Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 For power management, read here: Power management for Sandy/Ivy Bridge/Haswell CPUs Sleeps only works fine, if Power Management is right.

martin_weiss Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for the link. I have read that thread multiple times though. My problem at the moment is that I can't seem to determine whether I have proper power management or not. Could you look at the attachments in my first post and give me your opinion?

Allan Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 For Haswell, you need: KernelAndKextPatches >KernelPM Arguments > -xcpm Read more here:http://www.hackintoshosx.com/topic/22874-power-management-for-your-hackintosh/?p=118499 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304145-power-management-and-graphics-issues-z97n-gaming-5i5-4460hd4600/#findComment-2106384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_weiss Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks. I tried these settings, but the Intel Power Gadget log still doesn't show working power management I generated an SSDT using ssdtPRGen.sh, and placed SSDT.aml in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched When I run kextstat, I can't find either ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin or AppleLPC in the list (mentioned at http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295587-power-management-for-sandyivy-bridgehaswell-cpus/). I've attached my config.plist. Anything wrong with it? config.plist.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304145-power-management-and-graphics-issues-z97n-gaming-5i5-4460hd4600/#findComment-2106469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 For you see your states, try use AppleIntelInfo. And ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin, is not neither anymore: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2013/10/05/xnu-cpu-power-management/ ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kextNo. We no longer need it. It is no longer required to have ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext loaded. This also means that property Supported Features/Stepper CPU won’t be set, but you need to set plugin-type or you will get the above error. And for AppleLPC, read here: http://www.hackintoshosx.com/topic/22874-power-management-for-your-hackintosh/?p=118500 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304145-power-management-and-graphics-issues-z97n-gaming-5i5-4460hd4600/#findComment-2106539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_weiss Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 1) I set FakeLPC0020 to true, but AppleLPC.kext doesn't show when I run kextstat in the terminal. What's wrong? 2) I have also attached the result of running AppleIntelInfo.kext. Does this look right? Intel Power Gadget looks even better now (see the new screenshot), but the log still only shows 800, 3200, 3300 and 3400 MHz! Could someone with working power management please upload a log from Intel Power Gadget? I would like to see that it's actually capable of showing values different from 800, 3200, 3300 and 3400 MHz.

Allan Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Try DSDT method. And your AppleIntelInfo.kext results looks great, you have the first and last states Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304145-power-management-and-graphics-issues-z97n-gaming-5i5-4460hd4600/#findComment-2106972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_weiss Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Question: Before trying your suggested method I tried to search for LPCB in IORegistryExplorer, and I got a result. Isn't this strange since I don't see AppleLPC.kext when running kextstat?

Allan Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Your file is corrupted. You can see the LPCB but is not loaded, this is why you need use some of these patches.

martin_weiss Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Right. I am getting closer, but I'm still missing something. Your help is greatly appreciated! In MaciASL I go File->New from ACPI->DSDT. I then press "Patch", and copy/paste the info from your post (http://www.hackintoshosx.com/topic/22874-power-management-for-your-hackintosh/?p=118500). When I click Compile I get a bunch of syntax errors. I also get syntax errors without patching anything (see screenshot).

martin_weiss Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have been reading a lot. I still can't figure it out. If I click "Patch" and put in the code you wrote, I can't click Apply, because it's greyed out (see screenshot). What am I doing wrong here? I'd be grateful for a bit of guidance here.

Allan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Send me you DSDT. And sorry if I not pay sufficient attention here, my time is short. You know: Job, Family...hackintosh is not the most important thing, is a hobby...

martin_weiss Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 No worries, I perfectly understand (same priorities here). I greatly appreciate that you take the time to help me learn I'll make sure to write a thorough guide (with thanks to all who contributed) when everything works. I have a feeling that many people don't even look into this stuff (DSDT editing), and/or even give up on working power management, but I'm really interested in finding out how to get it working. I've attached my DSDT (extracted using F4 in the Clover menu).

martin_weiss Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

Allan Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Your DSDT is corrupted, try extract via OS X - Terminal: sudo perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while(<CMD>) { chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=<([^>]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP, "|xxd -r -p > ~/Desktop/dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }' Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304145-power-management-and-graphics-issues-z97n-gaming-5i5-4460hd4600/#findComment-2108408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_weiss Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 That command does not work for me (nothing happens). I also tried to extract the DSDT using DCPIManager (attached). Does it work? Otherwise, why is my DSDT corrupted?

Allan Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Done, i fix all errors:DSDT.aml.zip But i don't apply the patch, because i don't have your Devices IDs. Just find LPCB in DSDT, copy the code and paste inside this device. Remember, edit the values and put your devices ids.

martin_weiss Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I was too fast. I still can't enter the patch. The button is still greyed out. My device ID is 8CC4 (from DCPIManager).
