  • Successful Ryzentosh laptop (HP 245 G8)
    3 projects | /r/hackintosh | 25 Jul 2023
    What works: - CPU power management using this kext. Battery life is not great, but I haven't checked what can be done to improve it yet. - USB tethering from an Android phone as a workaround for having Wi-Fi since iOS only allows to do USB tethering with mobile data. If you need it as well, check this kext out. - Hardware acceleration thanks to NootedRed. - iServices. - Built-in speakers. - All USB ports. - HDMI video. - Ethernet. - Keyboard. - Trackpad.

    This isn't true, trulyspinach has a power management kext for AMD that brings performance to pretty much being identical to Windows with the Core Performance Boost feature. Or you can just force the CPU into the P0 state. https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/releases

    I'd like gpu monitoring for my my Vega56. on the page https://github.com/aluveitie/RadeonSensor, i can see RadeonSensor folder, but no kext inside, only some cpp files etc. also, the README says this kext isn't needed for Vega 10 and older. is Vega56 newer or older?
