[Guide] Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70 using Clover UEFI (10.11)

[RehabMan]

Hi Rehabman/OP,

Could you please explain why this Guide dont require a DSDT patch as i can you have mentioned in the guide as while executing make and make install it will patch the DSDT and SSDT

But i can see that in the ACPI folder under Clover configuation there are only SSDT related patches....can anybody explain....why we dont require a DSDT here ??

This guide uses ACPI hotpatch. Instead of extracting OEM DSDT/SSDTs and patching them and placing them on disk (static patching), the OEM ACPI bits that are in memory are patched by Clover and along with additional SSDTs, the same thing is accomplished but without having pre-patched files sitting on the disk in ACPI/patched.

You can read about the technique in my guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-using-clover-to-hotpatch-acpi.200137/

No manually patched DSDT is required. Clover auto patches the DSDT with the help of extra SSDTs such that all ACPI patching is done on-the-fly.

So you mean to say i have to to patch the DSDT separately and place under the ACPI patched folder ???

No. Definitely not. All ACPI patches are already done via config.plist and the SSDTs installed by following this guide.

There are two types of Lenovo Z50:
1- Lenovo Z50-70 with an Intel Haswell CPU.
2- Lenovo Z50-75 with an AMD CPU.

Of course, you won't want to get an AMD laptop since it cannot run macOS.

for sure what i am looking at is a Lenovo Z50 but not Z50 - 70 and its an i7 8gb, nvidia gt 860 and an Hp 840 G3
Intel® Core™ i7-6600U Processor of which is skylake but looks cool, i dont know if skylake is stable on a hack
