Administrators Hervé Posted April 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2015 Make sure you've setup suitable CPU power management on your system. Otherwise, your CPU may only run at max speed, i.e. highest voltage. Same may applies to GPU. Check if AGPM can be adjusted so that battery usage can be lowered. Generally speaking, OS X is much more demanding on graphics than Windows, so it should not come as a surprise that battery drains quicker under OS X. Remember that OS X is not naturally meant to run on non-Apple computers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted April 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2015 My mistake, I apologize; you have an AMD CPU so you cannot have CPU Power Management, Apple do not support AMD CPUs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted April 13, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2015 There are no tricks or kext. One should not really attempt Hackintoshing an AMD-based laptop; it's not the right platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
