Has any ASUS motherboard owners have use the UEFIpatcher to patch their MB bios and willing to guide me, explain me or show me the way to find information on how to use this Patcher. I have use the PMPatcher before but now there is a new tools which is this one but don't know if it is use the same way as of PMPatcher. Can someone show me some light on this regard. TIA guys.

Why do you want to patch your BIOS? Are you having problems?

Personally I wouldn't bother to do that at this point. Patching the BIOS is required when:
-MSR 0xE2 is locked
-xpcm or aicpm is loading and compatible with the CPU, causing a kernel panic when it tries to write to the MSR

If you know for sure that your MSR is locked, then I suppose you could patch it for when PM is working, but there will probably be new BIOS releases before then that you will want to update to which would require re-patching anyway. Until PM is working and AICPM/XPCM is loading, a locked MSR won't cause a problem. My suggestion would be to wait.

That being said the procedure is pretty simple, instructions are right here if you didn't see them: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285444-uefipatch-uefi-patching-utility/page-76#entry2031914
Basically just drag and drop and UEFIPatch will do the work for you.
 
@ Manic thanks for the replay guy, but this is what I have done, I download the Bios file place it to the desktop in my macmini, download the UEFIPatcher file also place it @ the desktop, open Terminal drag and drop the UEFIPatcher first then drag and drop twice the bios file and then type the WORD PATCHED and nothing happens, just following the same procedure like the PMPatcher program, but I guess it not that way, so can you be so kind and explain me how its done the proper way, thanks.

i just tried it with your BIOS. The drag and drop method didn't really make sense so I just did it like you would with any other command line utility:
Code:
./UEFIPatch X99-DELUXE-ASUS-0801.CAP

The result:
Code:
parseSection: Section with unknown type (52)
parseSection: Section with unknown type (52)
reconstruct: Aptio capsule checksum and signature can now become invalid
No patches can be applied to input file

It looks like it can't apply any patches because you don't have a locked MSR.

thanks guy I really appreciate the help. In other don't do nothing to the bios, then I will give a tray and see how I come with.

I found a little temporary solution to have a idle cpu and not fixed.

_desable Speedstep in the bios
_Installed Nulcpupowermanagement from Multibeast
_deleted generateC/P Cstates in the org.chameleon.boot.plist


Against, it is not working if you OC. the cpu will return fixed
edit: and the CPU does not exceed x33 (and not x35 turbo boost) don't know why
 
Hi Sam,

Good finding!

regards,

Marius

It is the same solution we use in the Sandy Bridge-E before having power management. You using the C1E state. In this case the Bios handles the power management.
 
It probably is only going up to 33 because 35 is only for a single core. If you set all the turbo ratios at 35 it would probably go up to 35. When you say oc doesn't work, are you overclocking by manually changing the core frequency or are you just using the auto overclock feature?

Samsung 840ssd / 3tb HDD / 1tb HDD


The 980 may break the build :banghead: Ill test it out and see if hackintosh will still work but i'm not putting my hopes on it.

Did the 980 break the build?
