How to edit your own DSDT with DSDT Editor DSDTs are configuration files that tell Mac OS X how to use your Hackintosh's motherboard. How to dual-boot Windows and OS X El Capitan on separate hard disks in your Hackintosh. The Best Hackintosh Laptops of 2013-2014 - Mavericks Edition. The easiest one will depend on whether you still have Windows installed, whether you already have a Linux USB stick prepared, and just how familiar you are with both systems. Extracting your native/clean DSDT using MaciASL or DSDT Editor under OS X. Boot your OS X installation with DSDT=No or without a DSDT installed to /Extra/dsdt.aml.
DSDT Editor provides additional, and very much needed, functionality over DSDTSE (Simple Editor), although I generally continue to use DSDTSE in preference to DSDT Editor. DSDTSE will not, or cannot, detect instances where an assignment is being made from a wide variable or value (e.g., 64 or 32 or 16 bits) to a less wide variable (e.g., 32 or 16 bits or 8 bits). DSDT Editor can, and does. My strong preference is to use DSDTSE for all or almost all development, until I get a clean and working DSDT, and then pass it, or rather 'wash it', through DSDT Editor to catch any lingering errors, such as the assignment statement errors. But, DSDT Editor can also catch and eliminate other errors, through use of the 'Fix Errors' option of the error dialog of the compile option. Both tools are useful to me, and I have come to depend upon DSDTSE for its rather simple interface, and also on DSDT Editor for its superior error detection and its optional correction.
This is especially helpful in a very complicated DSDT modification, such as porting Mieze's USB 1.1/2.0/3.0 compatibility mods from her MSI B75MA-P45 implementation (four slot) to another MSI or, especially, a non-MSI motherboard. Using both DSDTSE and DSDT Editor, I have successfully ported her mods to MSI B75A-G43 (seven slot) and ASRock H77M (four slot) motherboards.
How to extract /edit SSDT for your Intel's Core K CPUs for proper stepping in 10.7.4 (for n00bs): Let me get a couple things across. I myself knew nothing about this before 10.7.4 brought it to my doorstep. The only reason I am writing this is because this is a process that is not very hard despite it taking me a long time to figure out what to do. All the information is already out there I'm just doing my best to bring it to one place to save others some time. Hope it helps. Hesoolver 256 bit.

Titsmgee, Thanks for the guide (never noticed the SSDT button in Aida64, though ubuntu was 3 SSDT's rather than 6 from Aida64.).
Good to have clear info on this! Regardless, mind taking a look at mine, it makes no sense compared to every SSDT.aml I've seen on this board, it's almost as if it's malformed to begin with? The P-States are only defined for CPU0 in SSDT2 but it seemingly has other definitions shoved in the middle of it and not in any order at all. I know it takes a lot of time–not looking for edits per-say just what the heck to do lol. Seriously it's a strange SSDT!
