Hi
So I have a Hackintosh build and generally everything is working well. My specs are as follows:
GA-H170n-wifi motherboard
Skylake i5-6660 CPU
Intel HD 530 integrated graphics (used for MacOS)
GTX 1060 in the PCIe slot (not used in MacOS)
I set up El Capitan 10.11.4 using this excellent guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-el-capitan-on-the-skylake-h170n-wifi.178197/
And have since upgrade to 10.11.6 from the app store without any problems.
Since there are currently no Pascal drivers for MacOS, I run MacOS off the integrated HD530 which works great and boot into Windows with the GTX 1060 for gaming.
The only problem is that in MacOS the GTX 1060 fans are going at more or less full speed even though I’m not using it. This ruining my otherwise silent build.
So I would like to be able to disable the GTX 1060 or the PCIe slot on booting into MacOS, or otherwise stop the fans running. (The card is a Zotac 1060 Amp and under Windows the fans only kick in when gaming). My BIOS does not have an option to power off the discrete GPU.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?
One route I’ve been exploring is through DSDT/SSDT patches. I have read this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-disabling-discrete-graphics-in-dual-gpu-laptops.163772/
I have successfully extracted the ACPI files using F4 on clover during boot and have disassembled them. However I am struggling to work out which of the files I need to patch and how. The guide I'm following is for quite a different build to mine.
I’ve posted my DSDT/SSDT files over in the DSDT forum if anyone wants to take a look.
Anyone got any ideas on the best way of getting those fans to safely stop?
Thanks.
