Help!! Z97 HD3, i7 4790 3.6, gtx 970.

So for you it's better to use the Pike's command as opposed to the method recommended by Toledo in https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-native-cpu-igpu-power-management.222982/

Depends which you find the easiest. I pretty much do everything myself.

Thanks a lot. I will explore your suggestions. By the way: What is the purpose of the wifi ssdt?

If you look at the contents of SSDT-WIFI it (injects) Device Properties for Broadcom BCM4360 Genuine Apple WIFI/Bluetooth Combo Card.

Ok, I bought a combo wifi-BT mini PCIe card with 4 antennas which was advertised as having native support in Mac OS 10.11 and up which I believe is Broadcom94331CD which is reported as Airport Extreme. I think it does not require rebranding through SSDT to work in OS X.

Hello Violet,
I upgraded to High sierra my z97-hd3 build and I’m having trouble with my USB 3.0 and the WiFi is showing a message saying that no hardware is installed. Could you advise what I should to make these two things working again?
