Hi everyone,

I’m running a Hackintosh with a Ryzen 7 7700X, and I’m experiencing some issues with temperature and CPU usage on macOS. There are no such problems on Windows, but temperatures seem a high on macOS. Here are my system details and observations:

System Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X

GPU: ASRock RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming

Motherboard: MSI MPG B650 EDGE WIFI

RAM: 32GB Ram


What I’ve Tried:


I added SMCAMDProcessor.kext and VirtualSMC.kext to the EFI.


Despite these changes, temperatures on macOS still seem higher than expected. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Any recommendations for optimizing power management on OpenCore or macOS?


I’ve attached some screenshots. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Seems like the screenshot does not exists. Attach the related temps and usage info and also drop your EFI to check!
