renegadeandy Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 So I have a hackintosh on my ferrari acer 3200 sse2 laptop. Its on mac os x 10.4.8 and its all good. However what isnt good is the fact that the fans run 24/7 on it, they just never ever stop, making battery life poor and general noise of the laptop frustrating. Any ideas on solving this one?

SDRacer48 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I have read osx86 users report that they have had over heating problems running oxs86. If I was you I would boot into Bios (or download an app) and find out if your laptop is over heating. That maybe why your fans are always running. On a side note... the cooler your computer the better... so dont turn the fans off with an app. Just turn your music up!!! Keep on macKIN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizou Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Use CPUthrottle and that speedstep thing.. maybe try try to add IntelCPUpowermanagement.kext into to extensions folder.. try! =*) If it goes wrong just remove the kexts through single user mode.

renegadeandy Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Ok so i installed this. It says GetSupportedFrequences: error(-1) in sysctl probaly not loaded CPUThrottle.kext I did instal 1-4 but not 5 and 6 as i dont have intel cpu. Is this meant to do something automatically, or is it no use without the above!? Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as you have an SSE2 AMD CPU you'll first need to update to 10.4.9 with the 8.9.1 kernel, otherwise it will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
