Try a shutdown and unplugging completely. Then disconnect any USB devices and power back up.

Weird - After having it powered off overnight, it seems fine now. I'd tried rebooting at least 5 times before though.

10.10.4 seems to have broken this for me. Wifi still working but bluetooth is no longer recognised and does not exist in about my mac. Anyone else had this problem, or know of a fix? thanks

Is there a chance your MLB could still being used anywhere else?

Mine has just come back after about 4 days. I'm not convinced that doing some of the earlier suggestions like removing your icloud account and reloading make much difference. I tried all that, including making a new user account on my genuine MBP. Randomly after 4 days of me having stripped...

Like lots of people, mine logged out a couple of days ago and now I get the contact Apple message. I've used the ROM and MLB from my genuine 2011 MBP and both now work simultaneously. I don't think Apple will ban genuine serials if used on the same Apple ID, but we'll see. It's fun living...

I just put a pea size Splodge in the middles and stuck the heat sink down. It's not even specific cpu compound but a tube of stuff I use in electronics on transistors and voltage regulators. Cheap as chips! The temperature reduction is because of the cpu architecture so I'm sure you'll see...

i7 920 @ 3.8 ghz 23.49GB 1080p = 97 minutes, 23.9fps average 4.15GB 720p = 36 minutes, 57.7fps average Temperate topped out at 95C Xeon x5650 @ 3.8ghz 23.49GB 1080p = 63 minutes, 38.9fps average 4.15GB 720p = 24 minutes, 89.3fps average Temperature topped out at 83C

Well I've got it installed but had a nightmare and managed to bend a couple of pins on the socket! I noticed when it was not recognising the correct amount of RAM and/or hanging in BIOS! Anyway, after an hour with a USB microscope and fine pitch tweezers it's up and running. I'm ripping...

Oh one last thing, the CPU swap isn't going to mess round with any of the system ID's is it? I've only just got iMessage working again on clover and don't fancy going through it all again!

That's a great answer - Thanks very much. As the going rate for my old chip is around £40 on eBay, a £25 upgrade for 50%ish CPU power is a no brainer so I've ordered. Thanks again.

I see there are still tons of those x5650's available on eBay for £65 so I am tempted. I'm sitting on a i7 920 at 3.8ghz with no huge desire to upgrade, but being able to keep all the RAM and board do make it tempting. Does anyone who's done it have any feedback to the real world...

Looks great, and possible to get handoff working as well. I've ordered one plus the card. thanks.

I have Yosemite up and running with clover, but for the times I have to boot into windows, is there any way to do this with a bluetooth keyboard (The Apple one specifically), or do I have to plug in a USB keyboard every time? thanks

Just an update that I called Apple and they sorted it. It now works! Sounded very similar to a few other people who called. They asked for the serial once at the beginning and I gave them my MBP one. He asked me to read the message in full, said he had seen it once before, but me on hold for...

On the clover PCI devices menu, try enabling USB ownership and injection.

Have a look at my post on the last page. I too was stuck with that error message for ages. What seemed to work for me (to get the customer code at least) was the have the ROM and MLB blank, generate all the SMBIOS information first, reboot then enter the ROM and MLB info as given by...

Bit of progress and may be of help to others in the same situation. Followed the instructions here and it's now changed to the error saying contact support. http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover-37.html#post910577 They are shut...

OK thanks. I was getting that info from here http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html#post893000 If I understand right, on clover you should use an SMUUID generated from uuidgen. I've done this and it seems to break the clover...

I'm trying to following this guide and think I'm doing everything correct but I have a strange problem. Basically if I reboot, the ioplatformuuid as displayed in iMessage_debug remains constant. However, if I update the SMUUID value in clover to reflect this value, it changes on the next...
