Do I use the Clover folder you sent me for the Sierra install (on the USB), but replace the DSDT with the one you sent me that works?

 

The screenshot you took of the Clover Screen.  What is checked to install inside of the "Drivers64UEFI"  Option?  In the past I have just used OsxAptioFix2Drv-64

Hey hey,

 

Mind lending me a hand with my DSDT / checking it over?

 

Changes made to the DSDT:

- Injected layout-id (probably incorrectly as I still need the HDAEnabler)

- Fixed codepaths not returning a value by appending return (Zero)

- Removed random Arg0 after a return statement causing an unexpected end of file

- Fixed possible timeout error by changing 0x0FFF to 0xFFFF

- Removed unused locals

- Removed 20+ lines of Zero repeated

 

The SSDT.aml is the output from the latest version of ssdtPRGen.sh.

CLOVER.zip

for Alc662 u can try id 5, 7, 11 and 12, if dont work native, u need a AppleHdaPatcher, yes!

MaLd0n, wow, wow and more Wow.

 

Everything under 10.12.4 works like a complete charm, and the rig is smoking fast in booting up.

 

So Smoooooooth!

 

Thank you ever so much.

Welcome!

Enjoy!

Wow! I am floored by how much of a change a proper DSDT / clover configuration can make. I can't test HDMI audio out unfortunately so I can't comment on if that's working or not. The audio is working just fine without the hda enabler loading. The only issue I have left to fix on my system is the graphics not waking from boot, but that's a known AMD issue from the looks of it on <= 10.11.

 

Thanks a lot for taking a look at my setup MaLd0n!

 

Edit:

 

Looking at hwmonitor from rehabman / fakesmc it looks like only drive temps and ssd life remaining is showing. It use to include fan speeds, temps, etc. This could be due to my ssdt changes from earlier. Should I try adding the other ssdt-# files into my patched folder (after fixing any errors of course)?

fakesmc sensors cause many problems in many cases, but if u can test use it

Just replace in Clover/Kexts/Other

attachicon.gifFakeSMC.SENSORS.zip

and Check with HWMonitor

attachicon.gifHWMonitor.app.zip

 

Ah. I was using hwmonitor as a way to test speedsteping / monitor temperatures. Do you have a recommendation on something else to use?

 

I noticed in my verbose boot output I have ACPI errors relating GPX0 with a note on AE_NOT_FOUND. I tried searching console for ACPI, and found nothing. Is there a log file I can check to get the exact error?

it is common to see these in 10.12 with this new version of AppleACPIPlatform.kext. Older versions of OS X didn't do checks like this. ;)

 

Check ur speedstep use IGP

Send me new ioreg

Does this look like it's stepping correctly? Even with a 90%+ idle system it's still hovering around the max frequency with minor drops.

generate NEW SSDT PM with Pike script

attachicon.gifssdtPRGen.command.zip

replace SSDT

run it

attachicon.gifOlarila.command.zip

reboot

 

Check again

 

Looks like it's still favoring the high frequency. I've attached ~/library/ssdtprgen's content, the ACPI folder contains the original ssdt/acpi, and the patched dsdt. It was complaining that they didn't exist so I copied them in, and ran it again.

 

Should I ignore the error, and run it again with the files deleted?

very strange

take a test with Clover PM

Remove SSDT and replace config.plist

attachicon.gifconfig.plist.zip

 

Hmm it still doesn't appear to be stepping correctly. Should I try clearing the nvram? 

 

I checked the power widget in Windows (and recorded a log) to verify speed stepping is working correctly / there's no MSR lock.
