There is also an interesting scenario where two different board-id’s are being used at once, and it’s with the Wonderfull magic perform by the WhateverGreen kext. This kext can spoof a different board-id only to the video section for full VDA Decoding purposes without changing the main board-id being used by macOS. So finally when switching between different SMBIOS’s don’t mix board-id’s, just get away of Power Management problems with the help of CPUFreind. If for example iMac17,1 can have three different board-id then it can have four them. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348725-pre-release-macos-monterey/page/47/#findComment-2765986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use an i7 3630QM while Board-ID C3EC7CD22292981F is for a 3615QM… can't get any closer than that. My point was to use this ID for SMBIOS MBP11,4 as well. But since this ID isn't allowed in/supported by macOS Monterey this leads to the crossed-out circle. I have a working SSDT-PM, but when switching to another SMBIOS which is based on newer CPU family it's no longer as efficient since this SMBIOS is for Haswell. As far as I know, CPUFriend can only be used for CPUs which support XCPM which IvyBridge doesn't in current macOS. I patched it in once for testing and it didn't perform well, so that's that.

I have not begun to memorize all of the options available in the sample-custom.plist and there certainly are many. That said, the OC Configurator developers have Board Product filled out automatically when selecting an SMBIOS. EDIT: Don't forget to tick the check boxes "Add this section in config.plist" before saving. I forgot to do that first and I was wondering why all the sections were missing from the confi.g Edited September 9, 2021 by 5T33Z0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348725-pre-release-macos-monterey/page/47/#findComment-2765989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another query, is 'Put hard drives to sleep when possible' option for mechanical drives (spinning disk type) if in the system hence that option is not available in Energy Saver? That is my thinking but I maybe wrong. I don't have any mechanical drives but that option is shown. What you see here, I think, is a combination of your SMBIOS, your motherboard energy settings, and maybe whatever ACPI patches you may have done.

Slice Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Agree. Monterey is fast and stable, I installed it over BigSur and have no BigSur now. 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348725-pre-release-macos-monterey/page/47/#findComment-2766944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henties Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) @All. I am aware that Monterey is acceptable and preferable to a number of users here, however my main hacks, with the Intel i225-V onboard network implementation just do not cut it in my particular environment, whereas with Big Sur I experience no problems whatsoever with the i225-V. I can of cause disable the i225-V NIC in bios and run Monterey on WiFi, but who wants to do that ? The available local 5G WiFi bandwidth will then invariably have to be shared between all my portable devices, limiting the overall data throughput of my hacks to much less than 1 GB, which is constantly available on a per port connection basis on a properly switched CAT-6 ethernet backbone. WiFi is therefore not considered an option on a permanent basis.. All my hacks run with 2 network interfaces the second being a gigabit AX88179 USB-3 lan controller which works flawlessly under Big Sur but is not configurable under Monterey at all. That USB lan controller is used as an ethernet backbone for an extensive DANTE based audio distribution network, without which I am not prepared to work. I am also using Audio Highjack as well as Airfoil 2, both by Amoeba, and not yet working under Monterey. In the end I may have to free up and sacrifice a PCIe slot - 4 lanes - for a type Aquantia AQ107 add on card, and my Monterey networking woes should be partially over, but it is still early days, in the meantime I will continue plodding along happily with Big Sur, on all my hacks. An update for Monterey seems imminent, Xcode 13 and Safari 15 is already being seeded by Apple for Big Sur, an upgrade to the latest macOS currently under development, in this case Monterey, can be expected to follow shortly on their heels - my guess is tonight CAT. Greetings Henties Edit: Safari 15.00 is great, I love it.

Exactly the same with me on a AMD build, Everything bar the SmallTree.kext is perfect and we are working on trying to get AppleGB working properly over at AMDOSX as a replacement for the smalltree kext. Big Sur left my system from Monterey Beta 3 and I couldn’t be happier with it. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348725-pre-release-macos-monterey/page/47/#findComment-2766967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorenoAv Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi guys, Quick question, in my Mac mini 2018 with mcOS Monterey 12 Beta (21A5506j) I was able to enable dark mode in google and in Microsoft Office, but in my hack at home that option don't appear to enable. That is a limitation of our hacks, or I have something wrong in my hack?

Yandex.browser is like a Google and have this option 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/348725-pre-release-macos-monterey/page/47/#findComment-2766982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
