This is in reference to my Desktop system, which uses a 3770K that is overclocked to 4.6GHz (from stock 3.5GHz) with Clover/Yosemite 10.10.3/UEFI booting.
Now, right now, I'm *not* using a patched DSDT or SSDT (the Clover "patched" folder on the EFI partition is empty), but using several Clover flags/patches at run time to patch the auto-generated DSDT. What this does is that the system runs perfectly fine functionally, and since there's no patched SSDT, the overclock works 100% with full power management/sleep etc.
(OS X of course doesn't show the overclocked frequency in the "About this Mac" or System Profiler, but that's ok, other tools show the right frequency).
Now, I'm planning to rebuild this system and use native DSDT and SSDT files and patch them vs using Clover patches/flags, but I'm running into a potential situation. Looking at the Clover F4 generated DSDT and SSDT files, there's "some" information in the SSDT files, apart from the CPU tables.
- I can generate an SSDT with the PikerAlpha/Revogirl script and it'll reflect my true overclock, but it won't have this additional information that's already in the generated SSDT files from Clover.
- If I drop all the generated SSDTs and use just the script generated SSDT, am I looking at potential system instability, because of the missing information?
- Should I edit the DSDT and remove all the External references to this information in the SSDT files and then drop them?
- Can I copy/paste that information from the generated SSDT files into the script generated SSDT?
- Am I overthinking this?
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks.
p.s. I'm slowly starting to learn ACPI/DSDT/SSDT programming, but still relatively new at it.
