DSDT patch requests

jdpaolo replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

Hello MaLd0n, Would just like to ask if you could check my EFI and how it can be optimized and also ask to generate a proper DSDT for my board. My motherboard is Asus B365-F Gaming with an i9-9900KF, RX 570, 1TB Samsung Evo NVME and 32GB of 2400 DDR4. I'm also running Catalina 10.15.2 and used the Clover and RunMe app from the first page. Thanks and more power! http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=61878317849135028183
