XMP Profile 1 - Wake From Sleep

[ap15g11]

Hello all, this is my first post to the forums and I hope it may be of use to some. I have very recently built my first hackintosh following guides and support from tonymacx86, to who i would like that thank! After building my hackintosh with near complete success it became clear that the single issue I was facing was that I was experiencing problems with waking from sleep whereby my mouse and keyboard would not function / extremely jittery / mac would not enter sleep, full stop.

After reading that setting your RAM to XMP profile 1 in BIOS could be a culprit I quickly tested it, to find that when XMP profile was disabled, sleep and wake functioned perfectly. In a similar fashing to XMP profile 1, playing with the turbo core multipliers also appeared to disable sleep/wake function.

There are a fair few posts out there that ask for a solution to having XMP profile 1 enabled (thereby getting your full 1600mhz ram vs the 1333mhz that bios applies) and maintaining good sleep/ wake function. Well I have managed to achieve this on my rig by disabling PLL Overvoltage in BIOS. I now have XMP1 enabled and have the liberty to overclock, without losing sleep/wake function.

I hope this is of help to someone! I am new to this all so am on a steep learning curve - so feedback if what I have written is utter tripe! Thanks


My Rig :

i5 3570k @ 3.4Ghz, Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H, Corsair Vengeance 16Gb 1600Mhz, Sandisc SSD 240GB, GeForce GTX 660ti.

Dude you are the man! This totally works. We will see as far as stability goes but the overvoltage is for extreme overclocks and im only doing a 4.2 Ghz one anyway. Thanks a bunch!

This works a treat, thanks man.
When coming out of sleep the mouse would freeze intermittently and take about 30 secs to settle down.
I have set darkwake=10 and auto-sleep works perfectly.

do not recommend. mouse jitters if enabled XMP.

I suspect this is due to Multicore enhancement by Gigabyte once XMP is enabled.

zero stuttering here, so i have no idea what your talking about.

Thanks for the post, I have a GA-Z68MX motherboard with UEFI bios, but cannot find this setting. Where is the "PLL Overvoltage" setting in Gigabyte UEFI bios?

EDIT: I found it in the CPU Advanced Settings.

Does anyone get similar mouse lock up after they turn off and back on their monitor?
