I was just digging into your issue and I was also going to suggest you change the ID but wasn't sure which one to suggest because the EFI I gave you should have the right one. To answer your question, that is what I think the problem is, just not sure why you are having it if using my EFI.
The cleanup should help you because anything in those 2 extension folders will load after the ones in the EFI partition, causing them to be overridden.
Also remove NoVPAJpeg, WhatEverGreen eliminates the need for it.
1) Did you delete your EFI and drop mine in or did you just copy over it? You need to delete yours and drop mine in
2) Downlaod and run Kext Utility. It will fix the permissions in both your extension library which may have become jacked with all the deletes. Always be sure to use KextBeast to install anything into library/extensions/
There seems to be a debate about whether to put lilu, etc. in library/extensions/ or EFI/clover/ kexts/other. Installing them in EFI/clover/ kexts/other causes them to load with clover but more importantly, that's where Clover Configurator installs them by default. It has a nice interface for checking your versions, downloading the latest ones, and installing them.
What is the status now, does everything work as it should?
Thanks!
Current status is the system/library/extensions folder is still full of junk, but I'm not sure what is safe to get rid of, so I have left it like that for now, until I can find out what exactly is junk and what isn't.
NoVPAJpeg has already gone.
I backed up my EFI to my desktop, then deleted the current EFI and then dragged yours over.
I have already run the kext utility after each time I added or removed anything.
I also used kext beast to install all the kexts from your EFI to my library/extensions folder.
The guide that you linked to for Lilu suggested putting all kexts apart from fakesmc into library/extensions, so I did that and removed everything from the EFI/kexts/other folder apart from fakesmc. It seems to be OK with that so far.
I did have a go at the clover configurator kext installer, but wasn't sure what I was doing, so left it. I will have another look at that later, thanks.
I am still having the overly high GPU activity in apps where it should just be ticking over. To give you an idea, I had a Macbook i7, mid 2014 with intel iGPU and that ran Ableton perfectly without breaking a sweat and I'm talking large projects with lots of stuff on the screen. I do believe that something still isn't right with this RX560 and my gut feeling is that it is related to the system/library/extensions folder full of junk, or at least that seems like the most likely culprit in my very humble opinion.
Thanks!
