    [Guide] Dell XPS 13 9360 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.x - LTS (Long-Term Support) Guide

    That is awesome dude. For the 9370, I believe it will need a port of the following for the consumer model (Killer 1435) while the enterprise model can use the Intel driver (hopefully). https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/ Killer article pointing to that driver...

    [Guide] Dell XPS 13 9360 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.x - LTS (Long-Term Support) Guide

    Not sure what to tell you guys. With only the efi updates from darkvoids repo, I am able to run stable at -120 -50 -120 via voltageshift(same values as in windows using throttlestop and realbench testing). I am mostly stable in macos at -130 -70 -130 as well, but since that failed in realbench...

    The only bios changes I have in place are from your git repo :) I also didn't see an appreciable voltage drop, but at load I did see less severe throttling (2.5ghz vs 2.2 without voltageshift)

    I've been using voltageshift for some time and it appears to work properly. Currently am stable at -120 -50 -120 on i7-8550u, with anything higher causing crashes during geekbench or prime95 runs. Validated that I see the same behavior in Windows using throttlestop with similar testing. With...

    After considerable testing, the best I have been able to get for pkg power is 1.48w w/o inject and 1.59w w/ inject. Are you still getting 0.7w total for the package? and if so, could you please share details of your config (EFI dir, additional kext details, etc)? At this point this is just about...

    I did. I was seeing frequencies as low as 650MHz with the kext loaded, but the idle wattage was still ~1.8W with no software loaded. With the kext removed, I was seeing as low as 1.6W for package, hence no longer using it.

    For voltageshift, the instructions on the github page were pretty complete. Biggest item to keep in mind is you need to `sudo chown -R root:wheel VoltageShift.kext/` prior to running the actual `./voltageshift` commands. https://github.com/sicreative/VoltageShift For the plist file, after some...

    Glad to hear that since the 860 EVO 1TB is on the way for delivery tomorrow :) Quick question for the broader audience, what is your average idle wattage with NVME/sata drives? I am seeing ~9w according to coconut w/ i7-8550u, QHD+, 16GB, Toshiba NVME. This is after the plist above (thanks...

    [Guide] Dell XPS 13 9360 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.x - LTS (Long-Term Support) Guide

    That is actually the next change I'm looking into. I removed the thermal pads since they were just making the bottom uncomfortable and actually stopping the fan entirely in windows. Also tried a crucial mx500 sata already, but the coil whine from the soldered LED was maddening (how does an SSD...

    Would you be able to share your Mac-B4831CEBD52A0C4C.plist? After trying everything else (re-paste, thermal pads, undervolt) this is the last item available to help improve battery/heat on the i7-8550u. Thanks so much.

    How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

    I went with an RX570 for this exact reason and it works well with lilu/whatevergreen. I have to power down my second monitor, then back up at the login screen for it to be recognized, but that is a small price to pay to have this all working :D Also, big thanks to KGP for this guide. My only...
