i7-8565U CPU+GPU Performance Issues about hackintosh-asus-s5300fn

[Jie2GG]

I’m using MacBook Pro16,3

I replaced the EFI you updated. CPU now is at 4,2GHz Max Frequency instead of the 4.6GHz.. Same issue persists: CPU Core steps down randomly

Tried to generate a new CPUFriend kext. Nothing changed
Anything else I can try?

Did you create your CPUFriend from a MacBook Air8,2 model?

[tvieira20]

No. I created it from MacBook Pro 16.3

Give it a try MacBook Air8,2 ？

@tvieira20 Hello, Your CPU frequency should have something to do with module. My CPU is Intel Core I5 8265U, max frequency in 3.9GHz, but your CPU is Intel Core I7 8565U, perhaps your can using other module to process this issues.

What do you mean "using another module to process this issues"?

Also, MacBook Air 8,2 didn't do anything performance-wise

Sorry, my English is not good.
My mean is “MacBook Air 8,2”, use CPU in i5 8210Y. close to i5 8265U. but your CPU in i7 8565U, should use close to laptop model.

Not problem, I'm thankful you're helping me out.
I went back to MacBook Pro 16,3 as it was giving me better performance with this 0.6.4 EFI.
This time CPU Frequency was 4.2GHz (instead of 4.6GHz Max) and 1.2GHz instead of 800MHz (Turbo Step down) so I generated a new CPU Friend using CPU Friend One Key. I'll see if it works better now.
Thanks

I very happy can give you helping.
It seems this CPU need CPUFriend to improve stability.

Mate I sorted it out... Turns out that CPUFriend was DISABLED in config.plist - OpenCore
Now I get 4.6GHz Turbo (finally) and decent GPU Performance/Stability
Also got a better Idle Clock Speeds.

Here's some prints:
CPU Max Frequency:

GPU Max Frequency: (although looks the same: now the Power doesn't cut after a few seconds like it did previously)

Idle:

Thanks again for helping me out!

It was a mutual help process, and you helped me solve some problems.

@tvieira20 My friend, I unlocked the BIOS CFG Lock to get more stable CPU performance, if you need to unlock CFG Lock can follow my tutorial. But there are risks.
