Has anyone installed 1MM washers under the ILM in order to lower temps by 5 degrees C?

Alder Lake’s cooling problem straightened out by 5 degrees! - Simple ILM-Mod for Intel’s LGA-1700 socket | Practice | igor´sLAB

Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs run hot, very hot. A few weeks ago, Igor had already identified the bending of the CPU and motherboard due to the LGA1700 socket as a potential cause for this. Today I’ll show…

I tryed with various washers and doesn't work for my MB. No CPU at boot.

Getting better! I wonder if the e-cores are creating a bottleneck in OS X? All your cores are being used but with 24 threads your system is performing more like a 11900k with 16 threads. There is that saying that your system is only as fast as it's slowest component....

This is interesting and VERY telling.

Looking at the forums on Handbrake, there are others having a similar situation:

12700k will only engauge eCores, while pCores stand by laughing (Windows 10) - HandBrake

Intel I7 12700 is not using all cores - HandBrake

This comment goes into the problem at length:

yea i messed up i had it working but messed it up trying to set up the SATA hotplugs, still currently it wont boot i must have disabled or enabled something in opencore configurator. is there anything i can upload to figure out how to get it to boot again, also i want to make sure the SATA ports work so i can connect hard drives and ssds. if i do get it to work ill make sure to save a EFI File Somewhere maybe ill upload the EFI here. this is the OC Validator screen it says 11 errors

Right. If you are trying to enable the SATA hotplug then that is likely in need of SATA-unsupported.kext (which I don't have installed in my EFI) which should enable your SATA ports to work. The only one storage related driver installed in my EFI however is NVMExpressdxe.efi. Could that be it?

Your OCValidate output however are showing Audio & AppleInput related errors. Those would be the keys missing in your current config.plist which you need to add in.

On a separate note I've just found this article, which might surprise some of you. > https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...nt-play-blu-ray-disks-due-to-sgx-deprecation/

It seems that the new 12th Gen Alder Lake and possibly even 11th Gen Rocket Lake has the Intel SGX deprecated - which means they will have difficulty playing back from protected Blu-Ray discs with DRM content (because they require SGX to function).
