Asus 1155 Patched BIOS Repository

[DHP]

570gtx OpenCL loaded, but cuda did not. Kernel log has a message
NVRM: newUserClient failed: user doesn't have sufficient access privileges
WTF is that?

grep -re "newUserClient failed: user doesn't have sufficient access privileges" .

Thank you!

People should hold off on updating...? This could cause problems for members Hackintosh builds without further testing.

Thats what my common sense tells me at least, Maybe I'm wrong though. =)

Testing is good, somebody has got to go first. It seems like the 3xxx biosen are closer to what apple is using. After updating pretty much everything worked for me except audio. I did notice a slight performance drop on Cuda. Scores before update were reported as 1444glops on Mac andd Win. Dropped to 1418 on both platforms after the bios update. I used Brycv's Asus update script on the extracted DSDT but didn't really notice any difference between running that and running no user DSDT except that I get a bunch of sound assertion errors when I try to edit the HDEF.

With no HDEF edits I get no audio and none of the HDA kexts load. With edited HDEF AppleHDAController loads but AppleHDA does not, leading to assertion errors. I've tried HDA rollback, Toleda's AppleHDA for 892, VoodooHDA( which produces no assertion errors but throws errors in the control panel and doesn't work) HDA wizard, and Revogirl's HDA bin patch. Do other people have 892 or other Realtek audio working with the new bios? Any thoughts on why AppleHDA refuses to load?

This is the DSDT I'm trying to use with Toleda's AppleDA 892 version with an HDEF edit suggested by Toleda.

Any chance to get a patched Bios for the newest update? I believe it fixes an issue I have

It'd be super appreciated!

Overvoltage PLL was enabled in Bios.
Once disabled and with Turbo Ratio set to All Cores, I got these PStates:

MSRDumper PStatesReached: 16 20 25 30 38

Fine for me, with a 12KB DSDT rather the overweight 49KB one I edited several days ago.
Small is beatifull, really nice job, Sam!

My experience when there wasn't full P-states is the the OS sometimes hangs then "resumes". Also that it hesitates on jumping to particular P-States.

Though since you have an I7, your actually running below speed by that dump. As x38 is only single core at stock values, so your fastest quad is x30 not x34.

Just my findings, going to try the boot loader and attempt a micro-dsdt that similar to revo's later today after my last final

Still using RevoGirl DSDT with a custom SSDT for my Corei7-2600 and I actually get this after 5 minutes of activity:
MSRDumper PStatesReached: 16 23 28 33 35 36 37.

I get 20 PStates under PerformanceStateArray in ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin in IORegistryExplorer, from minimal 0x10 (1600 MHz) to 0x26 (3800 MHz). Tested with bios is set up as "Per Core" with 38/37/36/35 turbo ratio defined, XMP ram configuration.

Bios set up as XMP/ Auto give me: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 16 22 26 30 34 35 36 37

After five minutes of activity. No x38 turbo. Strange...

That is how it looks for me when i leave it on auto, never actually reaches 38. But what I wanna know..... is how to over clock and reach all p states..... Because the second i overclock it goes from 16 to 20 and some in between numbers then jumps to 48...... and there is a delay when it jumps to 48. Not like everything stopping, but if i open an app, it bounces twice before opening. But with 38 as my auto turbo they open immediately.

So great news! I've figured out how to overclock, while keeping P States!! I'm very excited about this

*Note reach 1 less then the turbo you set, so if you set turbo to 48x, it will only reach 47x

If you plan to overclock 5.0ghz+ make sure you enable PLL, and up the CPU Offset!

Edit/Note: I realized that when you do this, geekbench doesn't spike, it stays in the same range as it was before overclocking it, if you change all the cores to the same multiplier i think it gets rid of the speed step. i'm actually gonna test this now.

For some odd reason geekbench will occasionally use the 48 multiplier but most of the time it likes to use the 31 and 34 multiplier

Edit again: okay it seems to be a geekbench problem in OSX, because i used a stress test and msrdumper is showing the highest multiplier, while geekbench doesn't

http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...vs-REDROCKET&p=1003196&viewfull=1#post1003196

A guy in that post explains it

I am currently overclocked to 5.0ghz with no problems in either windows or osx.
I tested 5.1ghz in windows running the Final Fantasy XIV benchmark, and the whole time it was at 5.1ghz and didn't reach 50C (with Noctua NH-D14) I feel like I could have overclocked even further without any stability problems but i'm satisfied with 50X

Too bad I can't give a geekbench score, if i change the cpu ratio (non turbo) to 48X i get over 17,000.

Seems like you stumbled on something I can't replicate... Are you on 10.7.4? How about what version of chimera/chameleon/revo are you using? and what is your boot.plist file like?

This would be amazing as my machine can OC just as well as yours but I can't fathom why I can't get the P-states... It's driving me nuts!

I'm on 10.7.3, i'm waiting for a permanent fix for the multiplier/speed step issue with the update.

I have the latest version of chimera installed (1.9.2 i believe)

Make sure you have turbo mode set to per core, Where you can put in a multiplier for each core. Make core 1 the highest, and core 2 one less then core 1 and so on to core 4.
eg 48,47,46,45 for core 1 thru core 4

I spent over 4 hours trying every combination see if anything worked better, but this seems to be the best way to do it.

Hey guys & girls,

Can someone advise me if I should upgrade/downgrade my Asus P8Z77-M Pro's BIOS? I had the original version BIOS 0801 with a patched DSDT from brycv working great (except sleep/wake). Like a noob I upgraded my version to BIOS 0907 without having a new patched DSDT. Yesterday Asus released another upgrade BIOS 1016 for my motherboard.

I basiclly have a few questions because all this is very new too me (being and old Mac user never had to deal with this kinda stuff).

Can someone patch a DSDT.aml for my P8Z77-M Pro BIOS 1016? I'm hopping this version helps with power Management (sleep/wake).

Or should I downgrade my P8Z77-M Pro BIOS 0801 and use the DSDT.aml provided by brycv?

Thanks, I've been researching about patching the DSDT myself but is way over my head. Reads like Greek, I would have an easier time translating Odyssey by Homer.

PS. Does the DSDT have to match the BIOS version or can they be mixed and matched? For example will "brycv's patched DSDT" from BIOS 0801 work with BIOS 0907 or 1016?

Thanks again!
