[Guide] HP Elite 8300 & 6300 Pro (all form factors) using Clover UEFI hotpatch

My best guess, Asural, is that ssdtPRGen is merely detecting your XCPM settings under Clover and
Opencore, and reporting it for debugging purposes. I don't see that it is changing your power
management frequency vectors or anything else in the files.
Thanks for your feedback.
There is no particular problem, but in the case of Open Core, (main CPU0?)Core MAX is fixed to the maximum value.
It is a little hot as the processing speed improves and the exhaust heat increases at the same time.

On the other hand, we have a number of different ways to handle the XCPM issues for power
management with the Clover guides. Some automatically Generate power management in ACPI
settings. Earlier guides recommended dropping the CpuPm and Cpu0Ist tables, but I think that
@trs96 and @Sniki no longer think this is necessary. Sniki's config.plist turns off Generate in
ACPI, and enables AppleIntelCPUPM as a kext patch.
If you use VirtualSmc with Clover, it is not necessary to do Drop Table to enable X86PlatformPlugin (if you use FakeSMC, you need to enable Drop Table), but if you do not do Drop Table, CPU temperature monitoring To detect abnormal temperature.
Although the rotation of the CPU fan does not change, it is hot because the amount of exhaust heat increases.

It was the following state before doing Drop Table.

Currently, I am using FakeSMC3_with_plugins with Clover r5119 to monitor GPU heat.

Asural,

I'm seeing a little different behavior than your posting of the i5-3570 PM under Opencore.
My (CPU0?) Core Max is not at a fixed value. It varies between 3.4 GHz and the turbo
frequency of 3.8 GHz. I also don't see the high spikes in temperature that you're showing.
Your first graph doesn't seem to show any turbo frequencies.

I looked for differences in our SSDTs. Mine includes the frequency vectors for CPUFriend,
and I'm using iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS with CPUFriend. Smaller differences include that yours
was generated while running Mojave, and mine was generated using 10.15.5. You were
also using the 2014 compiler, and I'm using MaciASL 1.5.7 and the 2016 compiler. The
ssdtPRGen frequencies from CorpNewt were exactly the same, but there were small differences
in 3 later lines. I'm also dropping the two ACPI tables.

Lisa

Thank you, it will be helpful.
The image below is the result of observation with Open Core 0.5.9. (Mojave 10.14.6)

The version of compiler (maybe iasl) seems to be created in 2014 when using PRGen170.
The resulting dsl file was recompiled with MaciASL 1.5.7 to 2020.
Maybe it will be 2016 when created with CPUFriend, but I'll try it later.

Thank you very much.
 
Hi. Clover updated to 5121, and it is stuck on scan entries. Please help.

Just to clarify - 5120 works normaly.

Hi @Furry ,
Same problem here. I'm guessing that this is not an uncommon problem with Clover v.5121.
Hopefully, you have a back-up drive with Clover 5120? If you do, boot from the drive copy. Open Clover Configurator, open the EFI partition, copy your efi folder from your backup drive to another disk or USB pen (stick) drive that you are now booted from (I always copy the old efi folder to a usb stick (pen drive, etc) before updating Clover so I have the old efi folder handy if there is a problem). Unmount the back up EFI partition. Now mount the EFI partition from the problem drive. Delete the efi folder from the EFI partition. Copy the old (v5120) folder into the EFI partition. Reboot. It worked for me.

Hey. I managed to **** up 2 of my usbs, but successful installed an older clover version and Catalina on my 6300 MicroTower. :)
 
Hi Guys, can u plz point to easy to follow guide to opencore for 8300 elite USF, saw a great one done for Lenova Thinkpad x240, guess by who Sniki!.
Cheers
 
Hi i need help ... View attachment 486537

I know this error is supposed to come up, this is a burner apple ID, so can i log in with my real Apple ID? Thanks. If i cant, do i have to Call Apple or can i Chat with them?
I don't think that's the error that's supposed to come up.

Why the three versions of a USDT ? Sniki hasn't had time to post an OC guide yet but it's still on his todo list. That shouldn't stop you from trying to learn OC yourself and applying what you learn.
 
Files have been updated but i didn't update the guide itself, Yes from now on i also recommend having everything into EFI.
Clover bootloader can be used even on latest versions without issue.

I also switched to OpenCore on my setup but i won't be publishing any OpenCore guide until the OpenCore Bootloader guide itself is ready in our side.
There plenty out there that copy pasted each other, but they are pretty much just a glance and not a real guide itself.
Only like 20% of the stuff is explained and not much else.
When it's ready i want to make sure it answers every possible question that can arise so it covers every option.
Hello Sniki, am about to get an HP Elite 8300 i7 3770, and am reading your thread to know how i can get this machine as good hackintosh. Is there a guide with Opencore bootloader for HP Elite 8300 ? now that this bootloader is the "future" of hackintoshing and can give you a nice oob working MacOS machine. Thank you.
