Great guide!

I managed to get mine working (mostly) quite easily, only thing I'm having issues with is with it rebooting after shut down, and the boot graphics being terrible.

i5-3570k (Overclocked to 4.8GHz), Z77X-UD5H, GTX780 Ti

Ohh and front panel USB not working but only looking into that now.

Can you offer any assistance with any of these as I'm struggling to find assistance on the tinterwebs.

Thanks

From what I understood is that you drop the oem SSDT whenever you then generate your own SSDT. I guess I could try without it and see what changes.

Yea without dropping the oem SSDT it completely breaks my overclock and gives me only these p-states:

Nov 12 00:07:35 Monolith kernel[0]: AICPUPMI: CPU P-States [ (16) 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 37 39 40 ]

You should not need to drop OEM SSDT's as this drops all of them. However, you do need to drop: SSDT/CpuPm and Cpu0Ist. The following is what my ACPI section of my config.plist looks like...

<key>ACPI</key>
    <dict>
        <key>DSDT</key>
        <dict>
            <key>Debug</key>

For reboot, when attempting shut down, make sure in the BIOS that you have "AC BACK" set to Always off and Wake on LAN disabled. In System Preferences > Energy Saver, uncheck: Wake for Ethernet, Start after power failure and Power Nap

Boot graphics, meaning what? If you are referring to the Clover boot menu, and are using my EFI folder, you may need to add View attachment CLOVERIA32.efi.zip into your EFI/CLOVER folder.

For the front panel USB, I have them connected to the F_USB30_3 header (see pic, bottom right). You may have to try the other two headers.

That may be true, but MacPro 3,1 nowhere near matches the hardware, and is not recommended for proper PM


Here is my Geekbench with MacPro 3,1 and USB2 working properly. Can you compare to what you have?

thanks

All with 13,2 64bit Left 10.9.5 4.3 OC and 10.11.1 4.3 OC Right Default 10.11.1
So Smbios it does not matter.
Also there is no really improvement from El Capitan to 10.9.5 Score difference in mistake range

@Sandman what is your Banckmark with your OC processor?

First thank you for the guide!! Has helped me a lot while trying to solve some glitches of my previous setup.

BTW, there's something bugging me. I haven't been able to solve audio problems after sleep. I'm using Toleda's script and is working great until system suspends. For my experience looks like changing the line output works for some seconds but then it mutes.

Tried everything I found without luck. Is anyone having the same issue?

Since I was moving from Yosemite, do you think a new installation from 0 would help?

Thanks in advance!

Im afraid I cant be much help here as I do not experience this issue. Have you looked at all the fixes here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/151504-no-audio-after-sleep-wake-realtek-alc-applehda-fixes.html

It looks like there are a couple of Codec-Commander options as well as a appleHDAreset. If you have tried those, I would suggest creating a thread in Audio and asking for assistance...

I have row basic questions if you could help me:

I change smbios in Clover Configurator to Mac Pro3.1 for same tests and it i changed in config file but it still boot with origin imac13.2?


If I change one thing in Clover configurator does it write only this in config list and rest is as it was or everything need to be done each time like it was in plist for example?

n3oNLit3 thank you for your guide ... it works perfect . Do you change settings to overclock your cpu in bios ? or leave the default ?

 

[ImacTony]

Thank you for a well written, detailed guide. I am up and running perfectly. I had installed El Capitan according to the Installation Guide and the only problem I had was that upon reboot, it would not fully boot and start a reboot again. Sometimes it took three or four cycles before it fully booted. Using your guide, it now reboots the first time every time.

Questions: It seems there were 3 main post installation differences between your guide and the Installation Guide UniBeast: Install OS X El Capitan on Any Supported Intel-based PC:

1. Replacing the EFI folder: What was in - or not in - your folder vs the one created by Clover?

2. Your guide did not call for the Customac Essentials that were part of the Installation guide. Why are they not needed?

3. The Installation Guide did not prescribe a custom Clover installation so I did a standard. What is the difference between what you prescribed for a custom installation vs the standard installation?

Any thoughts appreciated as I am eager to learn!
