Jualk Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi! I'm fairly new to hackintoshing, and I've just got my x99 5820k up and running with El Capitan 11.3 after a fair amount of tweaking. I've overclocked my cpu to 4.0ghz at 1,2volt in Bios, but this SSDT business is really confusing me. Atm I only use nullcpu kext, do I need to use an ssdt as well? The computer seems to be running fine, but I'm not competent enough to know if the power management is good or if my cpu will be damaged in the long run. I did a geekbench run and print screened the intel power gadget readings, and I attached the file to the post. Also, the config file I'm using is from Lokicat, and his post also included an ssdt that I am not currently using because I'm not sure about how it works. Also included a screenshot of the acpi section of the config. What do you guys think, should I keep going without an ssdt or do I need to get one/edit my config? Help would be greatly appreciated!

artur_pt Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 hello like the name say .. nulcpupowermanagement is disabling appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext from system .. so no native speed step . the ssdt i think u have is for cpu powermanagement .. but if u use the kext .. no sense at all good hack Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310602-overclocking-and-ssdt/#findComment-2210507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JahStories Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 you can try to follow this guide to get speedstep working. Goodluck! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310602-overclocking-and-ssdt/#findComment-2210561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jualk Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 hello like the name say .. nulcpupowermanagement is disabling appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext from system .. so no native speed step . the ssdt i think u have is for cpu powermanagement .. but if u use the kext .. no sense at all good hack Thanks for the reply! How do I know if my speed step/power management is working as intended though? (I'm not even sure what speed step or power management means) Do I know simply by seeing the cpu reach it's max speed and keeping it consistently when doing for example geekbench? Lastly, do you think I can leave my installation as is without worrying about any damage to my cpu? Again, I'm pretty new to this, so all these terms are making me confused.. you can try to follow this guide to get speedstep working. Goodluck! Thanks a lot! Seems really complicated for a noob like me, but I'll look into it and try to make sense of it all Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310602-overclocking-and-ssdt/#findComment-2210956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
