hi!
I've managed to set up a quite beautiful working hack based on the acer predator helios 300 ( ph315-51). My only problem now is that Kernel_task at random times force the cpu to run at Max frequency and thus making the cpu package core go up to 10-15 w, which makes the battery life quite awful. the weird thing is that it could be idling as it should around 800mhz, and thus using about 2w in package power . that's Wonderfull. but all of a sudden the cpu freq spike and kernel_Task is there again with 60% use.
things I've tested to address the problem:
- Switch the trackpad into ps2 mode instead of I2C ( there is an option for that in BIOS) so I only have to use the vooodoPS2 kext.
-Switch SMBIOS to MacBookPro15,2 instead of 15,3. (should I test other maybe?)
-Redo power management with cpufriend
-Redo all SSDT:s according to the guide
-switch between IGPU framebuffers
-mapping USB ports
I've run out of ideas now and its quite disturbing that it works wonderfully othervise so I just want to fix this. The system log doesn't show anything useful that I can see, but maybe there is an command to use to se what this kernel_Task is up to?
anyone having an idea what it could be?
the laptops specs are:
-Intel i5 8300H
-Nvidia GTX 1060 (disabled through SSDT)
-OCZ arc 100 SSD
-I2C/PS2 trackpad ( switchable)
