Hi,
I'm step by step making my way toward overclocking, but I'm new to the Hackintosh world. Today, as part of this project, I installed hwmonitor and learned I was stuck at 1.6 GHz on my i5-2500K, so I installed the SSDT for "Sandy Bridge Core i5" (description: "Optimized SSDT supporting Sandy Bridge Core i5 CPUs with a maximum Turbo Boost clock of 3.8 GHz. Installs SSDT.aml in /Extra."). It worked perfectly, doubling my Geekbench score from 4400 to 8800 now that it can hit 3.4.
The question is, what happens if I make BIOS mods to overclock now? Do I need to overwrite the SSDT.aml with the "Sandy Bridge Core i5/i7 Overclocked" (description: "Optimized SSDT supporting Sandy Bridge Core i5 or Core i7 CPUs overclocked up to 4.2 Ghz. Installs SSDT.aml in /Extra.")? I debated just installing this one to begin with but was worried that the system would just stick it at 3.4 and not use the turbo boost mode where it automatically switches.
Hope I am making sense...thanks a lot!
