Hello everyone.
I installed everything on my hackintosh about 3 weeks ago. I was amazed at how quickly I was up and running. Thank you tony and others for all that you do around here!! I am having one problem, though. The temperatures reported through iStat are (I am almost certain) wrong. When I use Windows I used BOINC, which is a scientific computing application which uses your entire processor to its max. Anyways, in Windows when I run the Prime project my core temps go up to around 72 degress C (maybe further, but I shut it off before I can find out), which is measured from CoreTemp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp) and other programs. With other projects in BOINC it doesn't get as hot, but still hot (65+) nonetheless. When I run the Mac version of that program and use any of the projects (or anything processor intensive, compressor, etc) the temperature never goes above 38 degrees C (in fact, the temperature is almost always in between 36-38 degrees C). I have also used Temperature Monitor (from: http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html) in which the temperatures show the exact same that iStat has. And finally I used the MSR Tools acquired from MultiBeast. MSR Tools will not work for me, it says "Initializing" at first but then never shows anything past that except the grey background. If there is anything anyone can tell me I will be much appreciative!!
PS: What does it mean in MultiBeast by saying under the FakeSMC Plugins: Install with System Utilities Tasks. If it is something that I need to do manually, I have not done it!
Here is what I selected when I used MultiBeast:
UserDSDT Install (used DSDT-GA-H57M-USB3-F9.aml, and yes my BIOS is revision F9)
Drivers & Bootloaders > Kexts & Enablers [From Here I selected the following]:
Audio > Realtek ALC8xx > AppleHDA Rollback
Disk > IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector
Disk > JMicron 36x (AKA GSATA) > JMicron 36x ATA
Disk > JMicron 36x (AKA GSATA) > JMicron 36x eSATA
Disk > JMicron 36x (AKA GSATA) > JMictron 36x SATA
Miscellaneous > FakeSMC
Miscellaneous > FakeSMC Plugins
Miscellaneous > USB 3.0 - NEC/Renesas
Network > Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx Ethernet
Bootloaders > Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - Prerelease
Customization > Boot Options > 64-bit Apple Boot Screen
Customization > System Definitions > Mac Pro...
OSx86 Software > MSR Tools
I also changed my OpenGL so that my GPU would perform better in benchmark tests. I also have GraphicsEnabler=Yes and AtiConfig=Duckweed.
Here are my main system components:
CPU: i7-870
Cooler: THERMALTAKE CLP0552 (yes, I am in the market for a new one, so if there are any suggestions? I like smaller, non-heavy, cheaper coolers. but I will take any suggestion.)
MB: GA-H57M-USB3 (used DSDT-GA-H57M-USB3-F9.aml)
MEM: 2 x 2GB GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
GPU: XFX ATI HD-687A-ZDBC HD6870 1GB
3 HDD's (1 windows, 1 Mac Boot, 1 storage)
DVD Drive: Sony Optiarc AD-7260S-0B
PSU: Antec TP-750
Case: Antec Three Hundred (2 main fans)
Thanks in advance for anything you can provide, I appreciate it very much!!
