Hi All,
I am Super Happy to have my Hackintosh, I love it. Only thing is that It seems to be laggy sometimes.....
I am hoping to get some help to Optimize my System.
I have a DarwinDumper Report that I can share If someone is able to look at it and inform me what I can change or what ever to make my Mac Zing. I have a decent system and it should be super fast. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Chameleon EFI bootloader | Unibeast 4 setup
- CPU | i5 4430 Haswell 3 Ghz
- 16GB 1600 ram | 8GB x 2
​- 120GB Kingston V300 SSD
- Graphic Card | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
- MotherBoard | Asus B85M-G
- WiFi | Atheros 9380
- Ethernet | Realtek RTL8111
- Audio | Realtek alc887
Thanks A Million guys.

and what problems you have?
did you patch the BIOS for Native Power Management?
and why you're running your RAM on 1333MHz? Your processor can handle 1600MHz

A 120GB SSD drive; dollar-for-dollar by FAR the best bang for your buck and your system will be "super faster"!

I could best equate your system with putting thin tyres on a Ferrari.

You'll notice no negligible speed difference going to 1600mhz RAM speed.

Good luck

My Problem is general lagginess, opening programs takes longer then it should and sometimes its just not that responsive, I have iStat Menu working and it is not indicating that anything should be slowing it down.
And with sleep, if I let my computer go to sleep it restarts its self and wipes the EFI partition and pretty well makes it so I have to reinstall OS X to get it back working again. Right now I just have never go to sleep but I would really like to have it work.
Those 2 things are the only things that are "wrong" with my setup otherwise it runs Fantastic most of the time.

I have not patched my Bios as I have not found a Patch for my Board. And my RAM is only 1333mhz Ram otherwise I would do more.
Thank you for your help.

Most system freezes are ram related but clipper is right about the ssd being better than you hdd but with out proper power management you will likely need to fix that issues first then troubleshoot the rest but that will likely fix the underlying issues

If you have ASUS Motherboard you should patch the BIOS using UEFIPatch Tool

If you have problem patching the BIOS, here already patched by me for B85M-G:

To flash patched BIOS you need use Bupdater or AFUDOS Utility. Create Bootable DOS USB Pen Drive using rufus Utility:

Thank you for the tips, Unfortunately AFUDOS doesn't work at all, and BUPDATER says it cant open the file.
I have been trying to update the Bios with no avail. Your time and help is very appreciated.

May sound trivial, but installing NullCPUPowerManagement makes my computer faster.
