Hello,

Works very well at home

Thank you for extending the memory range

This will save more than one

 

And as you suggest it is desirable to put only the essentials when you install clover :wink_anim:

Don't install the AptioFix from Clover pkg!!! I've given a trick for that.

Update 2/11/17 @ 8:45AM: Since PMHeart has graciously provided a OsxAptioFixDrv with 512MB of free space, I've been allowed to continue to test a OsxAptioFixDrv.efi over the past 3 days.  So far, I haven't had any stability issues with my current Clover revision. However, do note, that I was having stability issues when running Clover EFI r3899+, and therefore had to revert back to using what I've been using already: r3859. It may just be my particular setup doesn't like the newer Clover versions, but its hard to say which is at fault (Clover,  my system or the efi). Anyway, update at your own risk. Added a new EFI folder called: EFI_ASUS-PRO-USB3.1_10.12.3_FIXDRV-512MB.zip which includes my EFI and the modded .efi.

 

Also added some CPU PM links that help new comers with checking/setting up XCPM mode.

 

Updated my EFI 10.12.3 post to reflect new changes.

Switched over to AppleALC.kext + CodecCommander.kext from the RealtekALC.kext. This way, I don't have to worry about finding Clover AppleHDA patches to fix a non-functioning RealtekALC.kext with every upgrade!
 
Click here for the AppleALC wiki
 
Pretty simple to do:
-> Download AppleALC master folder from github or, if you're lazy, download the precompiled version
-> If downloaded source files from github, compile it using Xcode (simply press the build button)
-> Locate compiled kext in: /Users/{Mac Username}/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppleALC-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Build/Products/Debug/AppleALC.kext (the ResourceConverter is for debugging purposes, don't need it)
-> Place the AppleALC.kext + CodecCommander.kext into EFI -> Clover -> Kexts -> Other
 
Must do:
-> Modify your DSDT.aml or create an SSDT-ALZA/HDAS.aml and SSDT-BR3A/BR2A/BR1A/PEG0/PEGP.aml to inject these attributes (note: Your compatible device and device IDs will be different, use Windows or Google to find yours -- also what audio layout ID you use will require some experimentation-- read the wiki for more information on supported audio layout IDs for your audio device):
 
Info on editing the DSDT.aml and/or creating your own SSDT:
- SSDT notes (also includes a DSDT.aml (DSDT-withoutSSDTs.zip) that doesn't require any additional SSDTs aside from Pike's CPU PM SSDT)
- Info on GPU injection via DSDT
- More info on GPU injection via DSDT
- Info on GPU injection via SSDT
 
The following code is incomplete, but it's there just to showcase what you'll want to include in your DSDT/SSDT (see my provided SSDTs in SSDT notes link for complete code):
 
SSDT-ALZA.aml or SSDT-HDAS.aml or renamed DSDT.aml _.SB.PCI0.ALZA / _.SB.PCI0.HDAS ==> _.SB.PCI0.HDEF with the following filled in with your values:

 Scope (\_SB.PCI0)

Drinking a good Gin and trying to figure out if there is any way to make it possible to use previous Nvidia Web Drives in Sierra 12.4, without being just through editing NVDAStartupWeb.kext ;)

Modify nmano's NVDA_WebStartup.Kext should be a simple swap

What's the 10.12.4 OS build definition? 16...?

You mean to change the plist of NVDAstartupweb.kext to 16E? This I have done since version 12.4 beta 1, but in this case does not allow acceleration. My idea was to find another solution, try to find something in NvidiaWebDrive.pkg that can be edited ?

This... not sure if it's going to work... but give it a go... 

 

If it does, consider it a temporary solution. If not, don't use 10.12.4. Problem solved.  :P

This kext, does the same as I had already done manually. I have to wait for a new webdrive suitable for 12.4 ...

But thanks anyway! ;)

:frantics: Warning: If you use a Logitech Performance MX mouse (or similar) and are using Logitech Control Center Driver 3.9.5.66 it will cause random reboots in 10.12.3! Symptoms: After 5-10 minutes, the mouse will freeze, then the system will reboot.

 

Update 2/12/17 @ 9:30PM: OsxAptioFixDrv.efi: Sleep appears to be partially broken. Power nap works, but putting the Mac to sleep manually results in a black screen on wake up (no video signal). Also, power nap, while working, tends to mess up Keychain permissions. I'd avoid any sleep/nap features for the time being.

But after some tests I came to the conclusion that the system is more stable with the 4 XCPM patches.

Running 10.12.3. Was able to remove some XCPM patches according to your EFI, however, I needed one extra to get CPU turbo boost across all States:

F: 89D8C1E008B99901
R: B800FF0000B99901
C: xcpm performance fix 1 (wrsmr fix to get CPU max) © okrasit

In fact I'm not using this XCPM patch (xcpm performance fix 1) and my result looks good, with more C / P-States and more complete than yours. I just select "Sync All Cores" on bios and use MP61_freqV_w_iMac171.kext on S/L/E and I like the final result :yes:

Hi guys! can anybody confirm if this its correct power management?

 

In my opinion is not correct, there should be more steps in the last lines, especially the last should be all. And the line of your IPG in idle, should be in the minimum frequencies of the processor that is 1200MHz. But it's just my opinion...

Speaking only of the last line, although not the only one that is not correct...

This is what you have in the last line:​

This is what in my opinion you should have:

Hi Fergarth! Can you provide your clover folder to se watt settings do yo have ?

or can you recommend some patches for this processor?

Thx!

Hi Sygey,

I could leave my EFI here and I left it in other previous posts, but given the difference between our hardware, I think nothing would be compatible. Everything in my EFI is optimized specifically for my system...

It would be advisable that someone with a board and processor just like yours could help...

But about patches, these are the ones I use, but as I said before, they work together with the rest, DSDT, SSDT, bios configuration, and i don´t use NVMe SSD for now, etc...

Head over to Pike's Universum (check the comments). I believe several other people have been asking questions regarding the "newer" Broadwell-E CPUs...

Just a small update...

 

Currently running all kexts in /System/Library/Extensions (no more kexts in EFI->Clover->kexts->10.12/other). According to Rehabman, this should survive upgrades as Apple doesn't touch non-Apple kexts. Been running this for about 3-4 days. So far, so good!  :rofl:

Currently only experimenting with this on my test bench. Soooo... when it comes time to upgrade to 10.12.4, I'll do a follow up on how the update goes.

Why not use BrcmFirmwareRepo if you put all kexts into SLE, will be much more efficient.

And also. Why did you still need USBInjectAll when you have got a proper injector kext (Assuming the XHCI-x99-Injector.kext)

Thirdly. It seems that your AHCIPortInjector and AHCI_Intel_Generic_SATA.kext are the same? And therefore just keep one of them.

Fourthly. Since you have put everything into SLE and just get rid of AppleALC IMHO. AppleALC can be not reliable in SLE and truthfully you have no need for it cuz you can also make a dummy next (like I did the dummy X86 kext for @Fergarth) + proper KextToPatch for AppleHDA (also maybe AppleHDAController if necessary)

-- BrcmFirmwareRepo??? Never heard of it. Can you expand on how to create it?

 

-- USBInjectAll.kext injects just USB 2.0 ports, while XHCI-x99-Injector.kext injects 3.0 ports (per Rehabman's github). They work alongside SSDT-UAIC.aml 

If you have an X99-series chipset XHC controller, 8086:8d31, install XHCI-x99-injector.kext from the project as well. The USB3 drivers will not load without this injector kext.

-- AHCIPortInjector/AHCI_Intel_Generic_SATA ... I'll have to look into removing them. I think I injected everything via SSDT anyway, so these are useless. Will have to test.

 

-- AppleHDA patches broke in 10.12.3 for me. I had to remove them in order for the RealtekALC.kext to work (to even get HDMI audio). I can switch back to RealtekALC.kext, but I noticed it doesn't inject all possible devices (Digital Out, Internal Speakers, Line In and Line out). It only recognizes my m9xx (USB DAC) and my ASUS PB328Q monitor speakers.
