Hi, I am trying to install an Acer Swift 314-52 with i5 7200U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD. I did 3 reinstalls with or without APFS and i always get very poor performance even in the Install OS screen. Everything takes like 20xtimes longer than usually and even the mouse cursos is very laggy and very inconfortable to use. I took just the RehabMans config for HD620 and the issue comes even during the setup.
Sometimes it works fine, but only for few minutes and then it starts to "lag" again.
I tried to install Sierra but it does not recognise my SSD even with the SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext so i am stuck with High Sierra. I did the 10.13.0 install. Currently recreating a USB drive with 10.13.4 but do not hope for much a difference.
I tried to do an upgrade to 10.13.4 which failed ultimately into "too many corpses" errors so i had to reinstall. I also experienced unexpected reboots 2 or 3 times when the lagging was enourmous.
Does it look to be faulty HW or missing some ACPI configs? In Windows the laptop worked like a charm.
I tried to use Clover only patches and also ssdtPRGen script. Always the same results. Allthough i had some minutes with normal performance that i was able to run a Geekbench Test which was showing normal results for this kind of CPU.
Strange thing is that it looks like when i run the Kext Utility and it rebuilds the cache, the issue is gone. But only for a while. HWMonitor App is showing what the CPU is not too hot and it changes frequencies normally.
I have these kexts in Clover/EFI/Kexts/Other
attaching ioreg and clover config if someone could help me out to check for some obvious problem.
