X79 DSDT adaptation for OC

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hi guys, unfortunatelly my case is difficult.
I wanted to change from Clover to Open Core.
My normal DSDT extraction(F4 in clover menu or even from windows...) returns an aml with 240 cpu cores...? But i have fixed the issue in Clover fixing the DSDT as should and then sending it to you guys for final tuning. It has been more that a year and everything works flawlessly since then.
Now for open core, my DSDT does not work. I have done all the prparation, folder is ready but i get a kernel panic early on ... as expected. Since i can't use the my DSDT the problem returns as before.
I am uploading the original DSDT extracted form windows, the DSDT i use with catalina and works great and my OC folder from EFI.
If you can help, i d be obliged.

cheers!

No it freezes just as the picture shows. It doesn't even get to the panic.

I also tried with X299 OC folder. Nothing happens.

I know this situation, what i need is to fix the CPU error in the default DSDT. The panic displays error in the core count. 16 out of 17. It is the same error as before i fix the DSDT for clover on 2019.
But how do you solve such errors in Open Core?

Really sorry man, did n't see you answered.

Unfortunatelly i get the same panic. What i am trying to explain is that the problem is on how the system "reads" the CPU. I need a DSDT with corrected number of Processors, like the one i have for clover. What is the equivalent for DSDT for Open Core?

MaLd0n · April 28, 2021

is same bro

acpi is same for all cases with same mobo, chipset

doucaniggia · April 28, 2021

So what do you advise me to do?

EDIT:

I am not sure if this is what you meant nut i used my DSDT with your EFI folder and i believe i bypassed the panic!!!
Got new freeze screen now... but i will try and fix it, then come back for a final "clean" DSDT

(except if you meant something else.... )

cheers man!

u used patches above with ssdt-unc?

doucaniggia · April 29, 2021

1. The patches were already applied in the plist you uploaded. (am i wrong?)

2. in your EFI you had no ssdt-unc.

3. I also tried using your patches in my plist. Then i tried the EFI that i had made but it was n't working.

4. is SMBIOS macpro7.1 a good idea for X79?

5. With your EFI i managed to pass panic but i immediately stuck on the screen i am uploading below. Truth is i know nothing on OC debugging. I am constantly googling, still no cure

device ec is injected?

u can try with npci=0x2000 too

jm26200 · April 29, 2021

hi all
Very good job sir Maldon
I now have cable internet. and therefore almost 3 times faster and this by adding the "DSDT.aml" file that you gave me
Many thanks

I still have to see for the HDMI I do not despair
No stress and relax always zen
Congratulations
take care and best regards

How do I inject EC ?

I tried npci=0x2000. Nothing changed. same screen.

doucaniggia · April 29, 2021

It worked!!!!

I know very little about OC.... I thought just putting files in OC folder will make it use them. .... ?
Anyways i changed config.plist

So now my folders look like this. It is not the tidiest structure but it works.

Questions (if you please)

1. Do i need any fixes on my DSDT?
2. Do i need a DSDT .... ?
3. Any other advise on OC ??? (to be honest nothing changed... It is not faster... Boot feels slower actually ?, Sleep and second USB3 chipset still does not work ... WHY DO I CHANGE TO OC????!!!!)

☮️ peace! keep rockin!!!

Hey

Good

need a fine tune

Clover and Opencore work good
