Just enabled the BIOS tweaks DVMT_and_0圎2_fix and edited the /EFI/CLOVER/ist file but I can't see a noticeable difference.I'll enable it this evening and let you know. My CPU, GPU and cache are currently undervolted to -115mV.(I primarily use Windows at >50% brightness). The brightness is set to 50%, reducing it even further may increase the battery life a little bit but it would become unusable on the outside. ![]() Airplane mode? Are you referring to macOS or Windows? IIRC the former doesn't have the Intel drivers to control the integrated wireless card.No USB devices attached (except for a tiny WiFi dongle that I'm sure it doesn't reach 1 watt of consumption).Sorry for the long message and thank you for your suggestions. I will test it for a couple of days of course to see also if the laptop last longer with the battery. I would really appreciate it if someone can test it or let me know if this is actually correct. This is great but does that make any sense? I also have Battery Monitor for my battery and i notice that before copying the files the lowest power usage value was 12 Watts, while after copying the files i was able to get 9Watts. I tried a lot of configuration but it seems that by copying this two files into our ACPI/patched folder the temp drops on 39C on idle and the power in the PKG is now around 2W. I noticed two file (attached) in ACPI/patched that are used to disable DGPU. So my first question is if the MX150 GPU is actually disable? Because it seems that is not.Īs i was digging around to see whether there is a way to test if the GPU is off, i found this repository. From some point this was gone, and now i'm getting maybe 3-3,5 hours with a kind of hot laptop. So moving back to the power consumption, a couple of months ago, there was a version where the temp was good and i was able to get 4-5 hours on my device. I don't know a lot on how to patch and all these stuff that you guys know but i've been a hackintosh user for the last 7 years and i at least i'm able to test stuff, break them and fix them again :p I also noticed that using the Intel Power Gadget on Windows the PKG power was able to drop bellow 1 (0.90W) compared with the Mac OS where the lower power is around 2.80W. The strange thing is that on Mac OS the temp was 42-44C on idle, which was the same temp that i get on Linux when i have the MX150 enable. What i noticed is that on Windows and on Linux (with Intel only enable) the CPU was getting 36-38C on idle. I have all three operating systems install on my Notebook Pro and i like to monitor the temperature all the time on all operating systems. So i also noticed that the power consumption on Mac OS is not as good as on Linux (with disabled MX150) and on Windows. Hello again and thank you again for all this great effort and support. Is it known to make any difference?Įdit: I forgot to add that I'm currently using the cpufriend kext on maximum power saving 800MHz (this is visible on the voltageshift screen too). I haven't tried the CFG unlock patch () yet. I'm on the latest BIOS version with the downvoltage patch () applied, voltageshift is set to -115 for CPU, GPU and cache (same as I'm using on Xtu). I just checked mine and it's 18/19 watts idle (with chrome opened and backlight set to 50%, the overall cpu usage is less than 5%). ![]() In other threads ( and ) people claim that their idle power is around 5/10 watts. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong in my configuration but I really cannot find out what it is. I usually get around 3/3.5 hours out of the machine while doing basic stuff, on Windows this was 6/7 hours. All 3D printing files required to build the mini G5 Hackintosh casing have been kindly uploaded to the Thigiverse website and are now available to download for free.First of all, big up for your work! I successfully managed to install macOS Mojave on my Mi Notebook Pro i7 16GB, everything is working fine (the trackpad is awesome) except for the battery life. Everything slides together smoothly, bondo and primer were used to smooth the printed parts.įor more details on the build and to see it under construction jump over to the Zenvent website by following the link below. The case is easy to print on a 300×300 printer, flat parts can be printed or laser cut to save time. I have uploaded the parts to Thingiverse in case you’d like to make one of your own. The custom case has been created for the hackintosh which has been built with the following specifications : Intel Core i7 6700K, GIGABYTE GA-Z170N-WIFI, 16GB DDR4 RAM, ARCTIC Freezer Heatsink and Slimline Power SupplyĬreated a custom case for my hackintosh, it resembles a minified Power Mac G5. Apple fans looking for a project to keep them busy over the weekend may be inspired by this awesome DIY mini G5 Hackintosh created by Thigiverse member MrZii.
