Does anyone have a working DSDT for a EVGA X58 SLI LE board (141-BL-E757 with latest bios v. 83), please?
 
Have you tried JaE-V's DSDT? According to AlanIn4D it's compatible with 141-BL-E757-TR aka the EVGA x58 SLE LE. I'm currently running ML 10.8.3 via MultiBeast/EasyBeast.

I'll keep you posted when I have a chance to give it a try.

P.S. You might also want to try AirWalk's DSDT, a lot of EVGA x58 users use it.

UPDATE: I tried both DSDTs by placing them (one at a time) in the /Extra folder and they both caused my system to not boot. I honestly don't know what the advantage is over using EasyBeast.

I have Mnt. Lion running on a EVGA x58 SLI LE with nothing more than a patched DSDT and sound and ethernet kexts. The system is overclocked to 4.2GHz with 24GB ram and an ATI 5870. Sleep works, power management works, speedstep, no orange icons, DVD player, etc. Here is the process I used:

- I am using bios S71H - the first one with HPET and last one that allowed native power management on my logic board. I also have the usual stuff set in the bios like AHCI and S3 for sleep. I did not turn on C1E as I have speedstep enabled and am running as a MacPro 5.1.

- Installed Mnt. Lion from a 8GB USB drive using FakeSMC (with plugins so I can check temps) and NullCPUPowerManagement. I also had to remove AppleTyMCE (otherwise I would get KP on startup due to not having ECC RAM).

- Once that was done I installed Chameleon-2.1svn-r2050, RealtekRTL81xx-0_0_90 for ethernet, and replaced the current AppleHDA.kext with a patched 10.7.4 AppleHDA.kext for my ALC889 onboard audio. I installed the kexts with KextUtility. I removed NullCPUPowerManagement from S/L/E.

- I then put my edited DSDT and smbios into Extra on the root of my drive and patched AppleRTC to keep the bios from resetting after sleep.
Code:
Patch for AppleRTC.kext of MountainLion - fixes cmos reset after wake from sleep

Make backup of the folder /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext

"sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x75\x30\x89\xd8|\xeb\x30\x89\xd8|' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleRTC.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleRTC"

Then update kernel caches:

"sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel; sudo kextcache -system-caches"

@nothingwise

Thank you for sharing your EVGA X58 SLI LE DSDT file. I applied the DSDT on my rig that is almost the same as yours, everything is just working great.

The only problem I can't solve is USB ports don't work after sleep mode. After waking up, USB ports are all unable to recognise any usb devices.

That's a bit weird because all USB ports are not working but BT apple magic mouse with asus BT dongle is just fine. (you know the dongle is USB)

I have been googling for days to solve this issue, tried darkwake=0, USBBusFix=yes and EHCI options, no luck.

Could you please help me out?

Sorry for my bad English.

When I try using your DSDT, I get stuck on the following in verbose mode:

AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient: ready.

I have to use the EasyBeast installation method via MultiBeast with NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to get my system up and running but then I get no native CPU power management. :(
 
Opps wrong thread, sorry.

What version of the bios do you have? This logic board is very picky with bios versions for native power management.
 
Hi nothingwise, thanks in advance for sharing the patched dsdt. I tried best to replicate your steps but my hackintosh ends up with shutdown down problem and cannot sleep. Here are my steps, any help would be appreciated!

Flashed S71H (from 83) > install 10.8.3 from fresh (installer created by Unibeast) > Multibeast 5.3.1 to install the dsdt,ALC889, Trim patch, FakeSMS plugin, realtek lan(lnx2mac), AppleRTC patch, MacPro 5,1).

btw my mobo part no. is 141-BL-E757-TR. not sure if this matters.
I tried with two graphics, first GF8400GS and then Radeon 4850 with exotic patch, but makes no difference.

Im not sure if this will solve your sleep issue but try the attached dsdt for the shutdown problem.
