I should like to add the ® in my Intel® HD 520. Trying to insert it in the DSDT/SSDT it gives me error when decompile it, it says there is wrong codification. Thank you in advance. Yeah you can. Navigate to /Applications/Utilities/System Information/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/SPinfo.strings Copy SPInfo.strings to your Desktop and open it with TextWrangler and find the following, <key>DISP_GFX_MAIN</key> <string>%@ %@</string> Edit it to look like this, <key>DISP_GFX_MAIN</key> <string>Intel® HD 520</string> Replace file and check About This Mac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draque Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I had updated my CPU using @Shaneee's instruction when I was using 10.13.3. I updated to 10.13.4 today using the guide @ https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-10-13-4-update.248292/ over at TonyMac. I updated my apfs.efi and updated. I also used Benjamin Dobell's NVIDIA driver tool to install the NVIDIA drivers. After all this update the processor was reset back to 3.7 GHz Unknown Processor, when it was set to 3.7 GHz Intel Core i7 8600K. I tried redoing the steps and no cigar. Can anyone advise if this still works for 10.13.4? and if it doesn't, maybe someone has a fix? Thanks @Shaneee for all your work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Donkey Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) It still works fine, you just have to edit the UnknownCPUKind string in English.lproj (or whatever language you're using, I'm assuming) file again.

Open with text wrangler ( free software) and there is no need for terminal commands. The terminal command issue may be due to SIP settings.

unixb0y Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Is it actually an "issue" if the OS doesn't know which CPU it is? My Hackintosh shows the correct GHz, core count, cache etc. just that it says "Unknown" for the actual model. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theundeadwolf0 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 You can also edit /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleSystemInfo.framework/Versions/A/Resources/[your system language].lproj/AppleSystemInfo.strings using TextWrangler (to deobfuscate the text). I've only tested this under Mojave, but I'd assume it works under any version post Yosemite (as they all use the same About This Mac). If you have an Intel processor (any Intel processor) being reported, you'll need to rename the key "SpeedAndTypeFormat" to "IntelSpeedAndTypeFormat" and then replace its string with "%1$@ [your text]", or replace the entire string and manually specify the frequency. If "Unknown" is reported, then you can simply replace UnknownCPUKind with your processor, however the above method also works if you want to change your processor frequency. Example: An advantage of doing this is having no character limit or potential to screw anything up using a hex editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
