    Unfortunately, the published D820 Lion bootpack is unsuitable: 64bit only FakeSMC, wrong SMBIOS plist, incorrect boot plist, missing and wrong kexts... Please use the attached pack to replace your existing /Extra. It contains everything you need (LAN, audio, battery, CPU Power management, full QE/CI, etc.) without further need of EDP tuning. Removed: Extra_D820_Lion-10.7.zip

    Using the bootpack is the right way to go, but I'm pretty sure FakeSMC 6.8.1307 did not get released as a 32-bit or fat binary, so this would exclude the 32bit kernel mode required on the D820 to support graphics acceleration (there's not 64bit support for NVS 120M). Did you re-run myFix (quick) after replacing the FakeSMC kext? It's required... Boot with flags -f -v; that'll ignore the cache.

    Seems your Hackintosh does not like the current FakeSMC (and associated plugins) version you're using. Which is it? For 32bit mode OS X versions on such "legacy" systems as your D820, our recommendation is to use Kozlek's 32/64bit FakeSMC v5.2.678. It works flawlessly and will support all the underlying hardware; there's no need for a more recent and fancier version. Look things up here.

    MacBookPro8,1 is not really a good profile for a D series model such as the D830. Ideally, opt for MBP5,1 SMBIOS and you'll ensure your CPU SpeedStep + GPU throttling are optimised.

    As usual, if you want support, you're going to have to be more specific. What are the specs, what did you do, what error message did you get, where does installation fail, etc. ?

    Yosemite native/vanilla nVidia drivers work OOB for the integrated NVS 135M. There's no need for the CUDA driver as far as I know, in fact I do not even think that the CUDA driver supports the GeForce 8400M chip on which the NVS 135M is based. If you look at all the past CUDA drivers that listed specific supported chips, you'll see that from v3.1 of July 2010 to v5.0.45 of March 2013, the only supported chips of the 8M Series were 8800M and 8600M. GeForce 8400M was never listed as a CUDA-supported model.

    Sounds like you need to use the Haswell patched kernel or patch the vanilla kernel through Clover.

    Use the Mavericks guide for reference and use the kexts provided in the pack.

    With a little search... https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2673-performance-tuning-with-fakesmc/

    All details are in the thread on the forum.

    myHack never deletes the DSDT, that would have been something else you did. If you did myHack->Create Extra pointing to the special ML pack, then there's no way to go wrong. Re: performance tuning, just follow the guide.
  12. Hervé
    Set your BIOS parameters as per recommended settings in the pinned thread on the matter and disable or remove your wireless card if you have an Intel one.
  13. Hervé
    You have the correct settings and kexts, nothing wrong there. I have the same symptoms on my D630n but not as bad as you, it's much more occasional. I've never managed to identified the root cause of this. You could try to repair file permissions through Disk utility, then rebuild your cache. It may improve things a little. IOATAFamily kext is not required on the D830.
  14. Hervé
    The guide is the "Supported models with guides" section of the forum. P & C states are enabled through Chameleon. Use the Chameleon Wizard. In fact, look for the thread and article about performance tuning and you'll find all you need to tune your D630.
  15. Hervé
    Use the special guide based on the MLPF hack.

    If your USB key does not boot, I guess you did not install Clover properly.

    Yosemite can be hard enough for experienced Hackintoshers, so for beginners, it's going to be a challenge. 1st you'll need an existing Hack or a Mac and a copy of downloaded Yosemite installation app. Then you'll need to follow the process detailed in that link I posted to create your USB installer. Then you'll have to try, try, retry and retry again until you eventually manage to boot the USB installer and hopefully install Yosemite. Then, you'll have to tune your installation because not everything will work in the 1st place.

    No, not supported. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-supportedunsupported-wireless-cards-inventory/
  19. Hervé
    Well, in that case, forget Yosemite and start with Mavericks 10.9; you'll be able to make your USB installer with myHack, that'll be a much much easier process to follow.

    M4300 is compatible in the same manner as D630 nVidia and D830 nVidia are too; same generation and family of products (M4300 only differs from D830 by its GPU) so it's common sense... Just follow the usual process with a Clover-based or Chameleon (r2401) USB installer. Don't take the chart for granted, it's not up to date.
  21. Hervé
    You can make up a Yosemite USB installer using the same process detailed here, then install Clover on the USB key. Then add any required Optiplex 9020-specific files to the Clover EFI folder (DSDT, kexts, etc.). The most important thing to successfully boot your Clover-based installer will probably be to select the kernel CPUM Haswell patching (in case you find system hangs or reboots). Desktop HD4600 is natively supported in Yosemite, though you may have to adjust the layout-id. This can be done either through Clover (in the Graphics section) or through DSDT injection.

    http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-NVS-3100M.24738.0.html If by renaming you mean the cosmetic change, it's useless in terms of QE/CI improvement. What matters is that the card details are suitably injected through DSDT if that proves required (for instance if the card is not natively recognized). Once the card details are properly injected, OS X will load the correct nVidia kext and framebuffer; everything should then be Ok. But if the card is natively detected and the OS X-provided nVidia family + framebuffer kexts are loaded, there's nothing else you can do. The only possible "better" kexts could be nVidia's own, if they exist for OS X (for that GPU).

    Unicrap has its own web site if you want support for it. It's not supported here. I suggest you read the many other posts found on this forum about Optiplex systems and the various Clover-based guides for Yosemite.
  24. Hervé
    In that case, it'll probably never get better until some other major updates clears whatever currently prevents the security update to install.
  25. Hervé
    D830 nVidia supports all recent OS X versions from Snow Leopard 10.6 to Yosemite 10.10.
