Changing config for a different CPU?

[steveharman]

Hi,

Firstly thank you so much for this. I was struggling to get my ASROCK Z790M-ITX system running and now....as you can see, it is! :-)

The only thing; I have a different CPU to yours (i13700K) - and despite having been Hackintoshing for years, have never had an "unsupported CPU" like this generation of Intel. Do you know which changes I need to make so that "About This Mac" reports my CPU spec.

And perhaps there are other more important benefits to me accurately informing the system of my CPU spec. too :-)

Thanks again.

You'd need to update the config.plist file.

First, make you'd need to have the RestrictEvents kext loaded, and have the revpatch=cpuname boot argument.

asrock-z790m-itx-wifi-efi/EFI/OC/config.plist

Line 1123 in 3ccd601

<string>-ctrsmt -wegnoigpu alcid=99 agdpmod=pikera debug=0x100 keepsyms=1 revpatch=cpuname,sbvmm</string>

Then set the actual CPU name in the 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102 NVRAM entry. The CPU name can be any string that you want.

asrock-z790m-itx-wifi-efi/EFI/OC/config.plist

Lines 1105 to 1106 in 3ccd601

	<key>revcpuname</key>
	<string>3.4GHz 20-Core Intel Core i7-14700K</string>
