Hello everyone
are now many days that I use the PC without problems, but yesterday 'after the last update I noticed that the PC is no longer' on standby.
Do you have any advice for me?
thank you
 
@romy4444 Happy to hear the guide was helpful and your new CustoMac has been a success.

Yes, I would definitely create a SSDT for your 3570 CPU as it will help you reach the turbo states that you would not otherwise get. Follow the guide that ElGordito linked to. It's really very easy to copy and paste the lines of text from Tony's guide into the Terminal. Take your time and make sure to read each step carefully. When your done simply drag and drop the SSDT into:
/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/

Thanks a lot to @ElGordito and @trs96
I did the process and successfully created the file.
I was not sure if at the step 1 of Tonys guide I needed to do something special or provide more information to the SMBIOS table at clover configurator, but I presumed it was already filled the necessary information, iMac 13,2 etc.
Im not a specialist, but it looked like the text at terminal was accurate with my hardware details.
I will post here my terminal screenshot just to make sure was right.

Just two questions, I am currently at High Sierra build 17C88, is there any reason to do an update to the next build?
Im really happy with the system and also learned thru the years that most of the times its more clever to control the temptation of doing an update when we are satisfied with the system. I disabled the updates notification and could easily live like that for at least an year!

Also, when I faced the problem with dual booting (now solved), I found out there was a folder called Microsoft at EFI/EFI (At the MacOS SSD). Was this folder created by windows when I first attempted to install Windows 10 in the other SSD and haven't disconnected the MacOS SSD? Or it has nothing to do with that and its part of clover bootloader install? Should I leave it like that or delete this folder?

Thanks guys you are genius!

(the picture attached I did with my phone, just that you don't thing my screen is looking that way lol!)

The 10.13.2 Supplemental update fixes the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilties, at least partially. It's probably a good idea to run that if you're concerned about security. I ran it and had no problems, just needed to update the Nvidia web driver to a newer version. The next .3 update is supposed to completely address these issues so that update will certainly be worth doing.

And is the thunderbolt firmware update safe? It's appearing that also in my appstore updates session...

If you don't have thunderbolt capability, why even install it ?

What is the "last update" you are referring to ? Are you using Sierra or High Sierra ?
 
Crazy High GTX 1050 Ti Prices
If you are just starting out...

You should hold off on buying the 1050 Ti 4GB graphics card. Seems that the cryptominers have been running up the prices on these lately. Once the recent crash of Bitcoin prices has had it's effect the prices should come down significantly. The release of next gen Nvidia graphics cards will also help too. That will happen later this year so don't pay these inflated prices now. The GT 710 and GTX 1030 still sell at somewhat reasonable prices. I was very lucky to get my Gigabyte GTX 1050 2GB for around 70 dollars AR last year. Great card, I can highly recommend one only if you can buy for under $141.00

What the f*ck... I could buy the MSI GTX 1050 Ti 4GB LP for ~190 USD 9 months ago.
