[Guide] El Capitan on the Skylake H170N-WIFI

[Justcurious1]

This worked great with for my sierra audio fix. Could not get through the toleda process at all. Thanks.

One thing, I added the “sudo pmset -a standby 0 && sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0” change in Terminal and now my computer won't shut down. Just restarts. How do I reverse this? Thanks.

Hello,
first, I am new here, and sorry for my bad English.

This is my second mackintosh but it it the first that I have builded with help from someone. Today I tested my DSDT-s for my cpu. I have generated it myself, however the DSDT for the mob I got from you, ammulder

So my question is that regarding cpu frequency and stuff are the results correct on the screenshots? I have one without mono and cpu .aml, and one with them. Also it is not clear to me if I should use a DSDT for the mobo. I read somewhere that newer mobos fomgigabyte do not need a DSDT. Is this correct?

First screenshot is with DSDT second withoult.

Thanks a lot

Well IMHO you do not need DSDT and related files. I like to have speed stepping active where the CPU is running at lower freq's when idle and responds to offered loads as seen in this screen. The time that Geekbench was running, the CPU was running at 4 GHz.

Good modding,

I have Bluetooth but no wifi anyone can help me out please. I am using a ga-z170n-wifi with a BCM94352Z wifi/Bluetooth card. Replaced the stick card for the BCM94352Z. Thank you.

Have anyone tried to install El Capitan to a Samsung 950 Pro m.2 drive ?
I have build a nice Hackintosh with a H170-Wifi, Crucial Ballistix 16gb, I7 6700 and a Samsung 850 Pro, but i want to do this with a much faster SSD, like 950 Pro.

Any help, please.

I have the opposite problem than Ricketki's. I have wi-fi but no bluetooth from my BCM94352Z card. If I plug in a USB bluetooth it is recognized and works but the built in card doesn't. I thought the bluetooth was supposed to work out of the box?

Fixed- re-downloaded the RehabMan Broadcom fix and put all 6 files on the desktop instead of just the two files mentioned.

I have the same problem the bluetooth is working the wifi hardware (bcm94352Z) can not be found. But intrestingly only if i boot from a usb ssd. If I boot from the internal ssd, then the wifi is working too. How can this be?
