petsasj Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Hello,I have a very peculiar issue with my custom hackintosh build:Whenever I use any USB device, my CPU spikes at maximum speed (verified with Intel Power Gadget).I have a USB webcam (Microsoft Lifecam Studio), a USB audio interface (Focusrite 2i2), USB Mouse (Razer Naga), and a USB Microphone (Blue Yeti).Now, having opened IPG, whenever I utilize any of the mentioned USB devices, I can see my CPU speed ramp to maximum and stay there until I close the app that uses the specific USB device. Even if I use my mouse to constantly move around, the CPU spikes up and stays there until I stop using my mouse.Concerning usb power I am using UsbInjectAll.kext + FakePCIID.kext + FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext + custom SSDT.The only thing that remains unsolved for my USB, is USB power, since renaming my EC0 to EC device causes KP during boot.The last couple of days I have revamped my config.plist to include just the bare minimum.FYI I am using iMac 15.1 SMBIOS and have all my kexts installed in /L/E. I have fiddled around my BIOS Settings, loaded optimized defaults various times, but the problem still persists.CPU power managment is verified to be working, it's stuck @ max speed when utilizing any of the USB ports.Here's my system info:OSX Version: 10.14.4Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Gene Z97BIOS: 3503 CPU: i7 4790KGPU: RX580Any insight/suggestions are welcome.Thank you very much Screen Recording 2019-04-10 at 21.05.38.mov Edited April 10, 2019 by petsasj Added small video of the problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/338259-usb-usage-causes-spike-of-cpu-at-max-speed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
