B760M AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.0 - BIOS F21) no Sleep or Hibernation
Hey folks!
I'm facing a **serious issue with sleep and hibernation** on my Hackintosh.
The system **instantly wakes up** whenever it tries to sleep or hibernate.
After this, some system functions stop working properly.
Forced sleep only works **once**.
️ Trying to sleep again causes **instant wake**.
Scheduled hibernation also doesn’t work — it instantly wakes up again.
System Specs:
* **CPU**: Intel Core i7-12700F (Alder Lake)
* **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B760M AORUS ELITE (rev. 1.0 - BIOS F21)
* **GPU**: AMD Radeon RX 6600 (ASRock)
* **RAM**: 32GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance 4800MHz
* **Wi-Fi/Bluetooth**: Fenvi FV-T919 (BCM94360)
* **Storage**: SSD NVMe WD SN770 + SATA HDDs
* **SMBIOS**: MacPro7,1
* **macOS**: Ventura
* **Bootloader**: OpenCore 1.0.4
# ACPI & Kexts in Use:
1. **SSDTs**: EC, GPRW, SBUS-MCHC, PLUG-ALT, USBX, RTCAWAC
2. **DMAR** has no reserved memory regions → no SSDT needed (some users mention SSDT-PMC — should I use it?)
3. **Kexts**: CPUFriend (+custom DataProvider) CpuTopologyRebuild RestrictEvents USBMap BlueToolFixup Lilu LucyRTL8125Ethernet VirtualSMC WhateverGreen SMCProcessor SMCSuperIO
4. **Power Management**: PPMRoot shows up in IORegistryExplorer
# Extra Config:
Wake events are **disabled** in config.plist
pmset settings:
* autopoweroff 0
* tcpkeepalive 0
* ttyskeepawake 0
* womp 0
* sleep 0
* networkoversleep 0
* proximitywake 0
* powernap 0
* acwake 0
# GPU – RX 6600:
Using PP\_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable in DeviceProperties to enable **Zero RPM Fan Fix**
Tested with and without this — **no effect on the sleep/hibernate issue**
BIOS Settings (some say this affects second sleep):
* Above 4G MMIO BIOS assignment: Disabled
* Re-size BAR Support: Disabled
* Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT): Disabled
* Secure Boot: Disabled
# The Problem:
* **Sleep and hibernation don't work**
* System enters those states and **instantly wakes**
* After failure, the **SMBus patch fails** — Fixing SMBus stops working correctly
Anyone with similar hardware run into this? Got any idea what else I can try? Thanks a lot!

issues with audio on Mavericks, VIA VT1705 running on ASUS P5G41-M LX2/GB
good evening & happy easter to those who celebrate,
as the title reads, i simply cannot get my via vt1705 soundcard to work on OS X. no matter all the troubleshooting steps i try, the jumping between VoodooHDA & AppleALC and all the configurations I do, i can't get my sound to work. i even went through the troubleshooting page on dortania's guide, but i either haven't been following the instructions properly, or simply don't know what i'm doing, so i'm turning over to here for help. the rest of the system seems to be working fine, apart from a (hopefully) unrelated issue of it not turning fully off without human intervention.
thank you for your time.

Is it possible to opencore on a non UEFI system? (Hp pavilion dv4 laptop)
My brother's old laptop a hp pavilion dv4 laptop is from around 2007-08 and all laptops from before 2012 aren't EFI supported so is it possible to opencore it or not? I won't list specs but also is a core 2 duo possible to opencore?

Mensagem constante "update the OpenCore bootloader"
Instalei o Ventura via OCLP 2.3.2 (incluindo a pós-instalação) no meu Macbook mid 2012 seguindo este tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in5-3EjKFqA
A instalação correu bem e tudo parece funcionar corretamente, mas sempre que ligo o Macbook, recebo esta mensagem:
"O OpenCore Legacy Patcher detectou que você está inicializando uma compilação desatualizada do OpenCore
\- Inicializado: 2.2.0
\- Instalado: 2.3.2
Deseja atualizar o bootloader do OpenCore?"
Mesmo se eu clicar em "ok" (e então componentes extras forem instalados), a mensagem aparece novamente. Esta é a segunda vez que faço a instalação com o OCLP limpando meu SSD, mas recebo a mensagem novamente.
Alguma dica sobre como resolver isso?

macOS Monterey Hackintosh on Dell Latitude e5450 - Recovery/Boot Issues after Data Loss
It was working
Stuck on Apple Logo
Hi Hackintosh community,
I recently had success running macOS Monterey on my Dell Latitude E5450 laptop. I even managed to dual boot it with Tiny10, and everything worked smoothly for a while.
Unfortunately, a recent Windows bug wiped my file partition table completely, causing me to lose all of my files. I tried various recovery tools to restore the partition, but nothing worked.
Luckily, I had previously created an OpenCore USB installer with an EFI that included a full installation .dmg recovery image. However, after reinitializing the SSD and trying to boot from the USB again, OpenCore did load but as soon as I selected the recovery environment, it got stuck on the Apple Logo.
I attached a picture of the stuff, that Verbose Mode showed.
Since the full recovery image didn’t work anymore, I recreated the installer using macrecovery.py to download a fresh macOS 12 (Monterey) recovery. Unfortunately, the same issue happened—it gets stuck on the Apple logo and eventually crashes.
My EFI was built using a preset for my exact laptop model and then fine-tuned by myself manually. It worked perfectly before all of this happened.
Has anyone experienced this before or knows what might be going wrong? Any help would be appreciated—thanks in advance!
Specs:
Dell Latitude e5450
CPU: Intel Core i5-5500U
GPU: Intel HD 5500
RAM: 8GB DDR3
SSD: 256GB
SATA Operation set to AHCI and Secure boot off.

Upgrade from 7800X (6c) to 9900X (10c) - error: Unsynchronized TSC for CPU 2: 0x0000 (etc.), delta 0x22a (etc.)
Hi everyone,
I hope I'm in the right forum/thread, here's my issue:
I had been running Mojave with OpenCore on my AsRock X299 with a 7800X CPU (6c/12t) with no problems. Now I have replaced the CPU with a 9900X (10c/20t) and unfortunately nothing worked at first... After hours of trial and error and diving into the topic again (I had set up the system in 2020), at least I found out that the whole thing probably has something to do with the APIC.AML. The error message was: "x86_validate_topology() 275082200 threads but 40 registered from MADT"
I then patched the APIC.AML:
Code
> [02Ch 0044 001h\] Subtable Type : 00 [Processor Local APIC\]
[02Dh 0045 001h\] Length : 08
[02Eh 0046 001h\] Processor ID : 02
[02Fh 0047 001h\] Local Apic ID : 02
[030h 0048 004h\] Flags (decoded below) : 00000001
Processor Enabled : 1
Runtime Online Capable : 0
Here I replaced the Processor ID with 00 and also adjusted the other 20 entries of the CPU.
Then I included the new APIC.AML in the Config.plist.
And in Config.plist I tried to suppress/delete the original entry,
this seems to have worked with
Table length → 0
OEMTableID → Remove value!
Now the following error message appears:
Unsynchronized TSC for CPU 2: 0x0000 (etc.), delta 0x22a (etc.)
This probably has something to do with the synchronization of the CPUs, which doesn't work so well with Skylake etc. from 10 cores upwards. A TSC-Kext should help, I first included the TSCAdjustReset.kext and now the CpuTscSync.kext - both lead to the same error message. I had changed the number of cores in TSCAdjust.kext.
Do I actually have to reset/clear the NVRAM with every Config.plist/kext change?
Unfortunately that doesn't help me either: https://dortania.github.io/Ope...frozen-right-before-login
My OpenCore version is a bit old, maybe it would help to update it (I have OpenCore DBG-059-2020-06-01 ?), but I'm avoiding the huge amount of time involved. I hope it's a small fix, because the system was actually running until I replaced the CPU...
I hope you have another tip, otherwise I give up, I'm afraid...

Hack noob needs help updating OS
So I have a hackintosh that a friend helped me set up, with Catalina. I say 'helped' but really he did 99% of the work. He followed one of the golden builds on the tonymacx86 forums.
Apple and other companies are dropping support for Catalina, so I'm looking to update to Big Sur and keep this machine running until I 100% have to upgrade, because it runs great (it actually runs better than the Windows drive) and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I don't know anything about Opencore, or what a kext is, or what I need to 100% square away before attempting to update, and therefore am terrified of bricking my machine and don't know where to start. I could really use some help.

Help Needed Installing macOS (Sequoia or Any Version) – i5 3470 / RX 570 / 16GB RAM
Hey everyone,
I'm looking to set up macOS (preferably Sequoia, but I'm open to any stable version) on my PC for work-related purposes, and I could really use some guidance from the community. I’ve done some research but would appreciate tailored advice based on my specs and goals.
My PC specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 (Ivy Bridge)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 570 (4GB)
RAM: 16 GB DDR3
Motherboard: idk what motherboard I got
Storage: 128 GB SSD and 500 GB HDD
Current OS: I have windows 10 currently if I can dual boot it will help me if the Mac os will work as main os only I am ok with tha
My goal:
I need macOS running smoothly for work apps like Xcode, Final Cut, or design-related software. I’m okay with an older version if Sequoia isn’t viable for my hardware. Stability is more important than being on the latest release.
What I need help with:
Recommended macOS version for my specs
Best OpenCore or Clover configuration for my setup
Kexts and SMBIOS suggestions
Any compatibility issues I should watch out for
A solid guide or EFI folder I could start with
I’d really appreciate any tips, links, or help getting this up and running. Thanks in advance for your time and support!

[Sucesso] Hackintosh no ThinkPad X280 rodando macOS Sonoma 14.7 – quase tudo funcionando!
Queria compartilhar com vocês como tem sido minha experiência rodando macOS Sonoma 14.7 no meu ThinkPad X280. Fiquei surpreso com o quanto esse notebook da Lenovo se dá bem com o macOS!
🔧 **Configuração do meu X280:**
* **Processador:** Intel Core i5-8350U (8ª geração, quad-core)
* **Gráficos:** Intel UHD 620
* **RAM:** 16GB DDR4
* **Armazenamento:** SSD NVMe de 256GB
* **Wi-Fi:**
* **Tela:** 12.5” Full HD touchscreen (1920x1080)
* **Portas:** USB-A, HDMI, USB-C com Thunderbolt 3
🛠️ **Sistema:**
macOS Sonoma 14.7 instalado com OpenCore
✅ **O que está funcionando liso:**
* Aceleração gráfica com a UHD 620
* Áudio funcionando de boa com AppleALC
* Wi-Fi e Bluetooth com itlwm
* Sleep/Wake estável
* Teclado, trackpad e até o TrackPoint com suporte completo (gestos também)
* Webcam
* Saída HDMI
* Bateria sendo monitorada certinho
* USB-A e USB-C (transferência de dados e carregamento)
* Ethernet (com adaptador USB-C compatível)
❌ **O que não rolou:**
* Thunderbolt 3 até aparece, mas não funciona de verdade
⚙️ **Ferramentas e Kexts que usei:**
* OpenCore 1.0.1
* Lilu, WhateverGreen
* AppleALC
* VirtualSMC, SMCBatteryManager
* AirportBrcmFixup
* USBMap.kext
* VoodooPS2Controller
💬 **Resumo da ópera:**
O X280 mandou bem demais como Hackintosh. É um notebook pequeno, resistente, e praticamente tudo funciona direitinho. Estou usando ele no dia a dia pra trabalhar com **React Native**, e tem me atendido super bem — tanto em desempenho quanto em estabilidade. Só o Thunderbolt 3 que ficou de fora, mas no geral, tô curtindo muito a experiência.
Ah, usei essa EFI aqui: https://github.com/Baio1977/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X280. Já veio prontinha e bate certinho com as specs do meu modelo.
