Intel Nuc 2.0 (Broadwell)

noticed that when scrolling with a ouse it jumps up and down randomly rather than smoothly in one direction.

Replace SSDT-1 with attached. Reply with new IOReg.

Thanks, I made the change and took a new save from ioreg.

also had errors using 147# post toleda ssdt

Not true. Post #155, SSDT from ssdtPRGen Version 15.7beta3, not Post #147.
Version 15.7beta3 SSDTs show the error.

I didn't notice any difference to be honest..

Edit: Spoke too soon. Last week it was working fine and today I'm having a lot of problems. The screen flashes and then turns off, sometimes putting me on a login screen. The system randomly goes slow where the mouse movements will freeze every few seconds and the keyboard will lag. Somehow it's become very unstable, even though it was doing so well last week and I've changed nothing since.

Framebuffer?

I'm not sure to be honest. It's stopped doing it now. Very strange.

I've attached a screenshot of the intel power gadget during an export of a 1080 video in Final Cut Pro (3 minutes 40 seconds long). Quite a few overlays and a few effects. Not super heavy but there's a bit of work there. Seems to be getting through it in a reasonable time.

You should note, I have the intel nuc (i7, 8GB ram) sitting on top of a 15 watt mini-desktop fan because without it, my Nuc sits at about 60-70c even when idle. I'm in the Philippines and my room temp is usually around 30c.

I'm not sure

Attach an IOReg with the framebuffer you believe works best.

I have my NUC5i5RYH running smoothly now. No power problems that I can see. Intel Power Gadget reports 1-2W, and temp of 40-43C. In fact, I put it in a fanless case without issues. The CINEBENCH R15 results were nearly the same as reported "early 2015 MacBookAir 11" (MBAir7,1) (i5-5250u) (OpenGL 25.69 fps, CPU 254 cb, if that means anything to someone).

I don't know if it will help anyone, but I used tazman1937's BIOS and EFI from #124. I used toledo's kexts, SSDT, DSDT, config.plist, and audio patches from #127. I installed Yosemite 10.10.4 (haven't gone to 10.10.5 yet). I don't remember how I put in the Clover EFI (I think I copied them instead of using Multibeast, but maybe I'm remembering wrong).

I removed the power management kext (NullCPUPowerManagement.kext), so what I have left in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 are AppleHDA.kext, AppleIntelE1000e.kext, FakeSMC.kext, and realtekALC.kext.

I changed the ig-platform-id to 0x16260004 (others were using 0006? That didn't work for me)

I am using the same board ID that Toledo had for the MacbookAir7,1 (Mac-9F18E312C5C2BF0B).

I did a little research on serial numbers of Macs w/ an i5-5250u. This is what I found:
MacBookAir7,1 (11" early 2015) = C02PxxxxGFWM or C02QxxxxGFWM
MacBookAir7,2 (13" early 2015) = C1MPxxxxG940, C02PxxxxG941, or C02PxxxxG940

Clover Configurator does not have MBA7,1 or 7,2 yet, but I am using the MBAir6,2 Haswell generator to get the 4 digits (that looks like CK2xxxxxF5V8). I am hoping that this conversion works, especially since the 4th digit is a number related to the week of manufacture for Haswell but is the letter P or Q for Broadwell. Fingers crossed.

Besides Cinebench, what would be a good test of how well the system is running? Watching videos, posting to blogs, and reading email is not really so taxing
