hey
@kgp or
@robifis (noticed you have the same Board as i do),
so I followed your guide as best as I could.
As you might see in my info, I have a Gigabyte X299 Aorus Ultra Gaming.
More or less the system works quite well. I have a score of nearly 43k on Geekbench 4 and 2300 on Cinebench. But I sadly run into several Issues when it comes to Sleep or Power Management.
1. Speed Stepping:
I found the CPU-S tool which is supposed to be able to show you the speed steeps your CPU is supporting.
But it always shows me different information (if I start it 3 times in a row, I get 3 different results)
Most of the time it shows me the steppings
1200,3300,4200,4500
sometimes it also shows 900
2. Sleep is not working
The System is shutting down, (takes around 1 minute) and then when I push the mouse to wake it up, everything stays black. after rebooting, the system says I had a KP.
3. to many CPU Cores? (more or less a question)
I have an i9 7900x in my system, which has 10 cores and 20 Threads. but when i check my ioreg, i see 56 entries. going from CP00 to CP37 based on the information of IO Reg, my cores are assigned to CP00 - CP09 and CP10 - CP19.
I renamed them via the clover config to PRxx
One problem I had with this, was when I used SSDTPrGen. SSDTPrGen used the cores PR00-PR09 (as defined by me)
then it took CP0A-CP0F (not used ones?) and then for the rest of the missing cores it used again PR10-PR13.
I modified this manually to fit to my setup which is PR00-PR09 and PR10-PR19.
I first tought this is a mistake by macosx, but the ACPI tables which i extracted from the Bios by pushing F4 (they are in the EFI, you can check them if it helps) have all these entries of Cores. No Clue why
I hope you can help me with my issues
