found it. not its sure its the latest. but it works. or at least i get a GPU temp reading on my status bar. adding the 2 kexts to my OC and snapshotting it didn't brick my system. I am therefore eternally grateful.
moving on to my next order of business. I need some help cleaning up my kext folder/config.plist.
lots of kexts there and I suspect I do not need many of them.
I am using the fenvi T919 (Broadcom BCM4360) PCI card for wifi only. do I need Airportltlwm.kext? I will say Wifi works flawlessly even with this kext being loaded whether it is needed or not.
what about BluetoolFixUp.kext?
I am using the Asus BT-400 dongle (Broadcom BCM20702A0) for BT only. it works well but is spotty. Every so often I have to move it to a different USB port on my system in order for my Magic Keyboard (from 2016) and my Mighty Mouse (from 2004 but still working perfectly) to be able to connect and not "reject" the BT connection.I am wondering if it is bc there are a bunch of BT kexts in my config.plist i don't need.
LuckyRTL8125Ethernet.kext and/or SmallTreeIntel82576.kext
I am using the on-board Intel i255-V 2.5 gig ethernet and I believe it is working fine. it is still untested b/c my Hackintosh is still sitting on a test bench and the nearby ethernet port was never activated. I'm too lazy to go poking around the IT closet to active the nearby port. I have been using the Fenvi Wifi for my internet needs exclusively. once I am done setting everything up I will move this system to its permanent home where there is already a working ethernet port and test there.
are either of these kexts needed for my ethernet NIC?
USBMap.kext and USBPorts.kext
do I really need both of these? IIRC AudioGod's OC 7.4 folder only included one of the 2. I tried mapping USB ports using hackintool but I did't get very far. there is a chance that one of these 2 kexts was generated by my attempt to manually map the usb ports of my system but I don't recall.
thank you in advance for taking the time to reply.
