Thank you! I have just ordered a Core i3 2125 on eBay for EUR 27,49 incl. shipping. I also saw a i7 2600 for little more, but I don't really need that, so it would just consume much more energy for a performance that is superfluous in my case.

Hello there! I have a old Hackintosh with the following hardware components: GA-H61N-USB3 Core i3 2120 Radeon HD 5450 8 GB RAM Samsung DVD SH-S223B At the moment I run Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion on it. But as I have more or less finished setting up a new Hackintosh, I would like to...

Wow, great – that fixed it for me too! Thank you!

Oh boy! It’s about six years ago that I built my first Hackintosh. This is my second one now and I wish it’d take another six years until I had to begin on my third one. But probably the old one will get a processor upgrade and a newer version of macOS (now running 10.8) installed this year as...

I’ve disabled “Wake for Network Access” (I have no “Power Nap” as my machine is a desktop) and tried darkwake=10, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 – in that order. Waking from sleep takes a bit of time, but darkwake=8 does the trick. EDIT: Sleep/Wake turned out to only work temporarily (and the machine took a...

I know, but because there can be so many reasons for Sleep and Wake and the information searching returns is so immense, I don’t know where to start. So I thought maybe I’m lucky and by just asking here you might have a clue based on what you already know about my setup. Thank you for the quick...

A thing that might be of use for some people here: In my case, if I don’t exactly set “Scaled”, “1280 × 1024” and “60 Hertz” in the Monitor settings in System Preferences, though working fine for the moment, the Philips is black after restart until I change settings in System Preferences to...

@CaseySJ, The system is now able to enter sleep mode, which wasn’t possible before – though it takes very long. But it doesn't wake up from sleep, the screens stay black. I realise that might be off topic, but I’m not sure as I don’t know whether it is related to the framebuffer. Do you have...

In the “Displays” panel of System Preferences I clicked on “Gather Windows” so I could access the settings for the Philips. There I clicked on “Default for display” and all is fine now. Obviously the Philips 17S doesn’t work with the 75 Hertz that were set by default. After working through the...

True. The reason the settings didn’t work for me in the first place is probably the different Platform ID I initially used. Hopefully I can borrow that monitor for testing. We’ll see.

I’ve just switched screens and ports to see how I would fare with that. So the Philips is connected via VGA and the Dell via DVI. That results in graphical glitches for the Philips (and the screen turning black for maybe two seconds every now and then, occasionally several times a minute). I...

I borrowed the HDMI cable again and tried different settings, but the TV is not recognised. (I always re-plugged it after restart, but that didn’t help either.) How can I patch the EDID values? How does that work and what do I have to set?

I had the wife of a friend on the phone this morning. I’m not sure if it is possible to borrow his monitor. But if it is, it will not be before the weekend.

I’ve just tried it, alternatively also with platform ID 0x3E920000, but neither worked. Good to hear this is progress! I have set Index 3 to Bus ID 4. But I can’t test the HDMI port for now as I have no cable. I’ll see whether I can borrow it again tomorrow night. In the meantime, could you...
