Thread: AMD Phenom 2 Black edition wont boot when Overclocked

Everything is running great here except for when I try to raise my Multiplier, SL refuses to boot. Just curious if anyone might have a remedy for this? (I know my overclock is stable in Windows, so it's not an issue with that)

Thanks!!

System specs are in my sig

From windows installed on the same machine and with your over clock enabled, use EVEREST to get your DSDT, rename it to "dsdt.aml" without quotes, and reboot...

Disable your over clock, boot OS X, take a look at this thread and use DSDTFixer to made the patches to your DSDT extracted with EVEREST > http://www.kexts.com/guides-tutorial...tips-dsdt.html

After this, place your patched DSDT (not the one that you get with EVEREST, but the one that you already patched with DSDTFixer) inside of your /Extra folder and add the key below to your com.apple(org.chameleon).Boot.plist (if you have any doubt to how made the changes to the file, take a look here ) > http://www.kexts.com/guides-tutorial...er-basics.html

Code:

<key>DSDT</key>
<string>/Extra/dsdt.aml</string>

Reboot, enable again your over clock and try to boot OS X...

Tell if works...

when I drag my file onto the DSDT patcher it's telling me that error count exceeded, not sure why. Is this a problem?

EDIT: Ugh yea I guess it is because it told me that compilation failed
EDIT 2: It also fails when i try the "get dsdt from reg"

For AMD processors you must use EvOsxTeam DSDTFixer > EvOsXTeam DSDTFixer

I'll give it a shot when I get home in a few hours. If I get the dsdt working does it then ignore all my kexts for my hardware and use dsdt instead?

You still should need the basic kexts; FakeSMC, NullCPUPowerManagement (because you're using AMD) and possibly some audio and ethernet kexts.

Go to this link, donlwoad the windows version of DSDT Editor and Patcher, watch the video and add "ONLY" the patches below on the DSDT that you extracted using EVEREST > DSDT editor and patcher - InsanelyMac Forum

DTGP
EHCI ownership
EHCI sleep
IRQs
RTC
SBUS
Shutdown ASUS

Alright thanks I'll give it a try maybe in the AM or tomorrow after work and I'll let ya know what happens

OK...

Let us know if works and remember, you need to extract your DSDT from Windows and with the Overclock Enabled....

Use the Windows Version of DSDT Editor and extract your DSDT going in File > Extract DSDT and use only the patches that i told you before...
