Hello guys. I need all the help that anyone can give me to load the best DSDT for my Hackintosh. Sadly this is my first time doing this and my knowledge over DSDT or SSDT is near zero. I spent a lot of time reading different post and everything that was possible but all that I achieved was my DSDT.aml via F4 over Clover when booting.

 

System specs.

 

-Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C88)

-MB: Asus Maximus Hero VIII (BIOS 3703)

-RAM 16 GB ( 8 x 2) DDR 4 Kingston Hyper X 2400 MHX (OC 2666)

-GPU Asus Strix 980 Ti OC DC3 6MB

-High Sierra OS installed over Kingston Hyperx Savage SSD 480GB ( I got 2 more SSD and a HDD but those are under windows 10. I got dual boot managed by clover over different SSD to avoid UEFI boot loaders mess)

-Display LG 24GM77 DVI

 

 

My build is functional with Nvidia Web Driver : 3378.10.10.10.25.102 at this moment. Got HWmonitor working with all sensors. Ethernet is ok.

 

 

Im going now to install now my sound kext that I got identified.

 

I`ll appreciate any help. Until today I installed and created the install media reading and watching videos but DSDT is beyond my understanding right now and sadly I didn't found any patch  DSDT for my motherboard.

 

If something is needed I`ll attach it later.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks Man! I'm really impressed with your speed.

 

Some noob questions.

 

1.-Just copy the clover folder over the current one or I wipe al the clover folder before?

2.-How do I get a Ioreg file?

 

Yes I got ALC 1150. So the CodecCommander kext is the one  :D

 

tks!

Question..my partition was made with HFS+ so in my current driver64UEFI there is no apfs.efi. If I put that efi in there would be some conflict?

1-Replace full clover folder, reboot and after extract one ioreg

2- use it

IORegistryExplorer.app.zip

Open, File, Save as

u can use all kexts in Clover/kexts/Other

:(  :(  Clover boot manager has no MAC loader or anything. Just windows EFI. I can enter my base installation with the USB as emergency backup.

 

I just deleted the old Clover folder and replaced with the new one.

 

Anyways I made a backup folder from the old one. Did something wrong?

My system is now as it was before. Always made a Backup before critical changes.

check, put DSDT in Clover/Acpi/Patched

and add some hotpatches in ur old config.plist, just to avoid problems

EC0 to EC
4543 305f
4543 5f5f
 
GFX0 to IGPU
47465830 
49475055 
 
HDAS to HDEF
48444153 
48444546 
 
HECI to IMEI
48454349 
494d4549 
 
in next installation, install clover with these options

I followed again the dsdt and clover file replacement again before doing what you send me in the last reply to check if I did something wrong. Of course I made some noob mistake the first time as now everything is fine. :D New Clover loader is really nice!!

 

Here is the Ioreg attachment.

Audio Onboard is ok. Sleep was working before with no problems. I´ll test it tomorrow as now I need to go. I`ll keep you informed.

 

And thanks. You invested a lot of time helping me. I will write  later a complete Guide over my installation to help others as I did from scratch with createinstallmedia, Bios settings ,SSD hfs+ (working with terminal over clover, etc). I think it would help others.

 

I stay in touch.

:D

Enjoy ur Hack!

:thumbsup_anim:

Hi Madlon. Yes! Already enjoying this beauty!

 

Another question. Is necessary to use a custom made SSDT for my CPU now? Or is already covered with the new DSDT? I already followed some instructions with ssdtPRGen.Master and made my own for my processor (Its not loaded anyways.)

 

I ask this because I checked with intel power gadget the frequency of my cpu and found it never drops below 1,5. GHZ and always near 2.4 GHZ even in idle. Is this normal?

 

Attached the picture.

 

Also the custom made new SSDT.aml if necessary to use it. 

 

Regards.
