howoarang Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hi, I've used chameleon bootloader long time ago and now I decide go to Clover. With Clover my CPU and memory speed are better recognized, sleep works and have better score in benchmark. But with Clover I get some issues too. 1. video in Safari goes bad. Sound and video track go not synchronize 2. my system time stops after some minutes. For example: Laptop go ON at 8:00AM and after 30mins my system shows 8:22 only. In system settings I have checked "set system time automatically". With chameleon bootloader my system time and viedos in safari works well. Booth in 10.9.x and 10.10.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 27, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2014 have you tried adding voodootscsync.kext it sounds like you are having issues with tsc. i think you can modify it in clover you might have to look at clover wiki under cpu section. clover might not be reading your frequency/bus speed properly. also try a more current clover if possible.

howoarang Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I didn't try voodootcsync.kext yet. But also in Chameleon my CPU and memory speed were recognized bad. I have CPU 2,8GHz and 800MHz DDR2 RAM. In Chameleon cpu shows 2,66GHz and memory 769MHz. In Clover these speeds are 2,79GHz and 798MHz, so I think, it is correct.

Administrators Hervé Posted December 27, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2014 You would not normally need VoodooTSCSync with a Penryn CPU (it's required for Merom CPU with 945GM chipset). It's most likely a problem of incorrect Chameleon boot plist settings and/or SMBIOS profile. Which Chameleon version did you use? Speeds reported by Clover are indeed correct (the FSB may not run exactly at 200MHz). Can you post your zipped /Extra folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howoarang Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Now I am using Clover only. Both for Mavericks and Yosemite too. My problem is with playing videos on Safari (youtube etc.) and with system time, which freezes after some minutes. These are my kexts in Clover: kexts.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 27, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2014 Nothing wrong there. It'll be due to a config.plist configuration issue... Post the file. Which SMBIOS profile does Clover select? Do you need those PS2 keyboard and mouse kexts by the way? You could try and go back to Chameleon.

howoarang Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 There are config.plist and DSDT.aml. Smbios are in config.plist, I used Macbook Pro 5,1. The same kexts I used in Chameleon too. But using Chameleon I had issues with sleep, with lower CPU and memory speeds. With Clover sleep works well and CPU and memory speed are correct, I have better benchmark score. config and DSDT.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted December 27, 2014 Administrators Share Posted December 27, 2014 I would suggest you set nVidia graphics to "true", not leave it to "false"... DSDT seems to be of E6400 origin, but I presume it works Ok on the E6500. Re: Chameleon, as I said, chances are you simply had an incorrect configuration. You would have needed the attached tuned FakeSMC kext (plugins moved inside), the MBP5,1 SMBIOS profile and P&C states generation selected in the Chameleon boot plist. A recent Chameleon version such as r2377, r2395 or r2401 would have done too. FakeSMC.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
