SOLVED Dell Inspiron 15R SE ( 7520) Monterey Post Installation

[EliteMacx86]

i tried alcid=14, unfortunately it's not worked. I tried 3,12,13,14,28 nothing worked. in the list of AppleALC supported codecs github page, doesn't have my model "conexant CX20672-21Z". Can you help me please?

Oh, in that case, you have two options. The first is to use VoodooHDA, which is not recommended but easy. The second is to go through the documentation and patch the XML to support your codec.

Hi,
After the hackintosh Monterey , i enabled the graphics acceleration by OCPL. Even after that Applications are very slowly starting and hard to use them. It's very Sluggish .


My new SATA 3 SSD write speed is decreased less than 100Mbps.The same drive i checked the Disk speed in Windows 10, it's nearly 450Mbps.

Is there any kext I'm missed to install ( like NvmeFix ) , should i install to get the standard Speed of SATA SSD?


And is this slowness is the cause of "CPU Power Management issue"? Actually i didn't perform any post-installations regarding CPU Power Management ( only used the ECEnabler,SMCBatteryManager to get the battery status).

I'm now realizing the impact of CPU Power Management.

Please advise and guide.


Attached the screenshots of geekbench 5 of my Hackintosh and my original Laptop ( Dell inspiron 7520 )

There could be several reasons.

My new SATA 3 SSD write speed is decreased less than 100Mbps.The same drive i checked the Disk speed in Windows 10, it's nearly 450Mbps.

That could be possible due to TRIM. Note that on macOS Monterey and above, the TRIM timeout. However, the TRIM can be disabled. What's the SATA SSD model?

Although, it's recommended, you can try it to check. Often it has bad affect, but can fix issues on some hardware.

And is this slowness is the cause of "CPU Power Management issue"? Actually i didn't perform any post-installations regarding CPU Power Management ( only used the ECEnabler,SMCBatteryManager to get the battery status).

Yes, it could be one of the factor.

I'm now realizing the impact of CPU Power Management.

Yes Trim is enabled.

GUIDE - How to Enable CPU Power Management on macOS [Intel/AMD]

I followed the above guide and when running "ssdtPRGen.sh" , I received a message as attached( Warning: 'cpu-type' may be set improperly (0x0604 instead of 0x0704) & Error: board-id [Mac-E43C1C25D4880AD6] not supported by Ivy Bridge – check SMBIOS data / use the -target option ).

FOR YOUR INFORMATION - I used the smbios of MacBook Pro 12,1 for bypassing the Monterey unsupported Ivybridge laptop.

Should I change the SMBios to MacBook Pro 10,2 ( close match of my ivybridge laptop with same processor and speed ) and run the "ssdtPRGen.sh" again and generate the SSDT?

Please advise the next steps also, that as an unsupported Monterey model MacBook Pro 10,2 cannot boot after any restarts.

After the copy SSDT.aml to ACPI Folder and adding in config.plist ,, should I again change my Smbios back to MacBook Pro 12,1 for bypassing unsupported model error on boot?

best to stick with Big Sur as you have full support with your graphics

also OCLP is best for real mac's and not hackintosh's

I needed the xcode version 13.3.1 , therefore i cannot stick with Big Sur. Regarding Graphics acceleration, after OCLP patch it's usable for me.

i disagree with your second statement. Admin has requested me to use OCLP and it's done the purpose.

As your hardware is legacy now, there are two options for having the CPU PM. Either use a custom command to generate the SSDT with the newer SMBIOS or use -no_compat_check boot arg and set the SMBIOS to MBP9,2 and then generate the SSDT. However, note that using the second method, you'll have to change the SMBIOS each time for the updates to process.

Not really. Although, it's intended for Macintoshes, it can be used on Legacy hardware.

Attach your PR files to check further. Even, a broken PM should not have such a slow speed.

I used the 2nd method and My hackintosh is much speedier.
Attached the Geekbench before and after of PM.
Thanks for your help.
