AFIK all Asus X79 boards boot and run without acpi patching. Please post an ioreg once you have the board.

finally bought the rampage 4 extreme.
shilohh, did you put on your dsdt even the patches that rampaged made on his last ssdt? (he prefers to create ssdt instead of patching dsdt, i don't know why)

I don't add a virtual audio device or hdmi audio to pci slot 1. Other than that, I think I have the same stuff and more. I also use some different code for my edits and remove some devices that OS X doesn't use. I patch non-removable onboard devices in the dsdt and removable devices in SSDTs. Andrew puts everything in a SSDT so that you can update or change the bios without re patching any acpi tables but he provides no fix for irq mapping or conflicts. I always give HPET 4 specific IRQs which must be done in the DSDT so I will always need to patch the dsdt when I update the bios. Therefore I see no reason not to fix all the devices in the dsdt. Using a ssdt to override code from the dsdt serves no purpose if I'm already patching the dsdt.

thank you. other question: in his last ssdt he put a rtc patch, did you add it too on your dsdt patch?
i attached his ssdt for the rampage4extreme with nvidia gpu

i would like to patch everything on the dsdt because i use ozmosis (instead of clover or chimera), so i have a full native system

Yes. You can see a brief description of each edit after the # in my list.

thank you!
so, briefing, what should i add to your patches? i mean, ok the ssdt with power management using piker's script, but what else considering that i'm using a gtx 780 ti?hdmi audio perhaps? if so, what should i edit?
i have no other peripherals a part from a usb3.0 pci express and the original apple bcm94360cd wi-fi ac + bt 4.0(trough lci express converter)

 

[shilohh]

@xelanaiznac,
You can add hdmi to another ssdt for your 780ti if you want it but I see no reason to unless you'll be connecting a HDTV to your gpu but most monitors and TVs have crappy speakers anyway. I've never added hdmi audio to any of my builds. The only reason I would is if I were building a home theatre box. Other than that, I've got some SSDTs that will make any pci card show up in about this Mac. I'll post them later when I'm home.

EDIT: I just rembered that you want to do it all in the dsdt and you can do everything I mentioned in the dsdt if you want

Hi shilohh
I've missed your X79 Deluxe v4 patch ? What’s the difference with the v2 one ?
Any news for Marvell sata controller ?
I plan to update my Asus X79 Deluxe to 0801 version: do I only need to patch my new DSDT? Is your v4 patch compatible with this bios ?
Tanks for your work.
