Ok I just down load the latest Beta and about to do a clean Install on a test ssd just to satisfy my curiosity because it is eating away at me like crazy. The crazy thing is when I hotplug Catalina Disk the 5 boxes appears in BS but reverts back to 4. So I am not happy at the moment, I just knew this latest offering went too smoothly to be ok. 

 

@eSaF I've done the ACPI patching manually (following the Dortania guide) and I have a different motherboard than yours. Also I have "patched" the two red thingies into green on Hackintool:

Can you check your settings? Maybe there's something different there?

 

 

[eSaF]

@WizeMan - In Hackintool seems ok but I am in the middle of doing a clean install to see what is out of whack.

Hello All¡¡¡

Does anyone knows if it's posible to use freqVectorsEdit.sh in Big Sur to edit the minimum frequency for CPU? Or editing Kexts in S/L/E ...

 

Thanks a lot in advance¡¡¡

The differences posted on energy saver are related to the Power management of your CPU. ( Depending if you're using the SSDT-PLUG recommended by the OC Devs or not )

In the EFI for my X299, I do not use SSDTs.  XCPM is managed thru the bios.

Therefore, as @BALDY_MAN I have less options but everything works perfectly. 

I don't have the "Automatic restart after power failure" because I have a UPS 

 

In short, the differences or less options in your system preferences might be related to your Bios &/or SSDT-PLUG.

Does anyone else have a problem with Asus RX 5700 XT and latest Big Sur beta ?

I am using agdpmod=pikera but most of the time it takes me out on a black screen.

With RX 580/590 works perfectly.

On Catalina works perfectly too..

Is this actually a thing? How can I know if I can be SSDT-free?

Updated with Clover my X570 T-RyZo

used config with enabled only kerneltopatch for bigsur

@WizeManEverything depends on your platform. My GA x299 does not need SSDTs for EC, RTC, AWAC  to boot. 

In the past I only used SSDTs for USBX & CPUPM, but I was able to get rid of them.

 

USBX:

The longest part was to map all my USB ports , Including TB & Inateck PCIe USB card , in my USBPorts.kext ( attached below ). After this was done, I incorporated the properties of SSDT-USBX in the kext, verified that the properties were loaded without the SSDT & got rid of that SSDT. (Thanks to @loloflat6 for pointing in ths direction. )

 

PLUG ( XCPM ): ( Read edit 1 & 2 )

As I mentioned above, SSDT-PLUG is not mandatory if your Bios can manage XCPM. Works fine on my system ( 1.2Ghz in Idle to 4.9Ghz : 6 Speedsteps ) . Sleeps/Wake also work. Zero bug.

Many tools exist to verify that XCPM is working properly. Look it up. 

I'm not a fan of the Dortania guide. lots of Incoherence, but if you're a beginner, I guess it's fine.

PS: I'm using my sytem for work 24/7 and and it is completely stable. ( outside the Bugs from Betas )

Edit: A simple way to verify if you have XCPM, is to type in your terminal "sysctl machdep.xcpm.mode " ; if the return value =  1; XCPM is loaded. 

Further investigation might be necessary. ( Power management, amount of Power states, etc..)

 

Edit 2: macOS native power management is NOT mandatory. Performances are similar. Only differences can results in improper sleep, higher temperature or higher power consumption.  ( No issue on my system ). Everything is operating correctly.

After Ellybz post. as a experiment .I have deleted the SSDT PLUG.aml from my ACPI Folder and my hack boots up

Did you check if XCPM core is loaded afterwards?

This is a very interesting aspect to investigate. I already have everything USB related on a USBPorts.kexts, also I know for a fact that I need the AWAC patch (or patch UEFI with modified grub shell but in case of complete bios restore or flash I’ll need to do this again, so I went with the aml route). But for the PLUG I will test and of course if it works fine without, there is no reason to have an extra ACPI patch.

 

thanks @Ellybz

I Don't think XCPM is working I have this

[Ellybz]

@BALDY_MAN

if you type in terminal : sysctl machdep.xcpm.mode 

What do you get? ( should be 1 )

Do you have Turbo Boost engaged in your Bios? Turn On if its off.

This is what I have in IO REG ( no SSDT-plug )Look for CP00 or PR00 - XCPM is on if the name matches in the right colon.

Have a look to PR0 instead of cpus. Below Ioreg for my Z390 Aorus Master

From the guide:

As you can see from the left image, we have the X86PlatformPlugin attached meaning Apple's CPU Power Management Drivers are doing their thing (Note the CPU's name does not matter, CPU names come in many variations such as CP00, CPU0, PR00, etc. What matters is that AppleACPICPU attaches to it).

 

This is what a healthy system looks like (note the X86PlatformPlugin attached to the first core):

I know that @Tiem Why you quout me instead of @BALDY_MAN ? I've a Z390 Aorus Master, he have a Z490 Aorus Master: despite the different chipsets, the two motherboards have the same structure. Both use PR0 for the processor.  Have a nice day.

What you posted does not show the necessary information as to whether you have PM active or not.

 this is what I get mode 1 (machdep.xcpm.mode: 1 ) thinks for your help

Once again, why you quot to me  I answer to @BALDY_MAN who was looking for the right line in Ioreg. That's all.

If you want to give an explanation, you have to answer him directly.

@Tiem is this ok

[Sherlocks]

anyone who have problem that cpu freq hold high(about 2.0ghz. and over)?

no drop 0.8ghz. very strange. seems this problem starts since big sur beta 8 or 9?.

high freq and temperature causes low perf.

@Sherlocks Yea I see what you mean

[MorenoAv]

Mine is this with the cpu in my signature...

[eSaF]

Yep! As Sherlocks says not averaging below 2.0ghz.
