AceMcLoven Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Okay guys, I need recommendations on upgrading my Hackintosh. Current specs are as follow: MB: Z87X-UD7-TH CPU: i7-4770k GPU: AMD R9 280x RAM: CORSAIR 32GB 1600mhz PSU: CORSAIR HX 650 As of right now I have Sierra installed but having a lot of issues my system not running stable. The whole point of this build is for music and video production. With current specs I can't seem to get this to work as I should. I get really bad graphic lags when watching my goPro videos. They are not even watchable. I know the GPU should be able to handle it but It seems my system is missing something. I ran Geekbench and my performance was horrible. I will attach them here but with my current specs should I be getting higher than 3,772 on multi core and 1,116 on single? Seems really low for me. The GPU got higher scores than my CPU. Anyways if anyone has solutions for this it would be gladly appreciated but since I can't seem to get this to work and most of my hardware is outdated anyways I want to upgrade. Now I'm tossing between i7-8700k or i7-7820x. I will need a new mother board and both MB for these CPUs offer thunderbolt capabilities with TB card which I need for my audio interface. Which one will work best for my needs and will my PSU and GPU work out of box with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaman64 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 There's something really wrong with your system, we basically have the same setup (except i'm running nvidia 980ti) your cpu score are way too low, look at mine for the same CPU. With a little overlock our CPU should be able to bench scores of 18,500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Certainly it's the power management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't changed much in the bios other than the typical things to get OS X installed and running. Do you know what might be causing my scores to be so low?

I might reinstall sierra in a few days using this guide to see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceMcLoven Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 So I ran the RunMe App and this is the file that was generated. For my power management I tried the Plugin Type =1 with no success. Is there anything else I should try to get this issue solved? Send me AMPSs-iMac.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Here's the answer: Delete this kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it in extension folder or in any of kexts folder in my boot EFI folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Did you search in S/L/E? In your file upload, I don't saw the CLOVER folder, only ACPI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceMcLoven Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Yeah I searched in S/L/E folder and didn't see there and it's not in my clover kexts folder either. I just got done reading that some ppl have issues removing it and had to reinstall OS X for it not to load anymore. They mentioned that after removing the kext and deleting it, it would still load the kext so they had to do a fresh install. Going to give that a shot and see if it removes it and will report back.

Allan Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nah don't care about this "experts" guys. This kext will decrease your CPU power management. Send me your entire CLOVER folder, I'll take a look. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got around to my hackintosh again and reinstalled Sierra. Here is my new log with the runme app. I did not install the NullCPUpowerManagement kext, I still get choppy video playback. Any idea why? Also seemed that didn't solved my issue. I did another Geekbench with really low scores again. I will also include my clover folder to see if I'm missing something. Thanks for all the help man. Send me AMPSs-iMac.zip CLOVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
