Successful Tahoe Ryzen build - R5 5600x & RX6600xt

[madvinegar]

After some effort I have succesfully managed to update my rig from Sequoia to Tahoe (by clean installing Tahoe). The details of my rig are in my signature.

I have working wifi via heliport and itwlm
I have working sound via VoodooHDA
I have working bluetooth
I have working USB ports

All seems to be working fine and fast. The only thing I could not manage to do is to make AMD Power Gadget to work. I get an error message everytime it loads as if I don't have the necessary kexts installed, (but I do). See the attached last pic.(SOLVED. see post #7)

Please post your EFI AMD Power Gadget hasn't been updated in sometime.

Please see attached.
Ofcourse I erased MLB, Serial Number, System UUID and ROM entries.

Also the AMD power gadget kexts are missing as I deleted them since they were not working (but were the latest ones available).

I was wrong, AMD power gadget is working on mine, the only difference I see is expose sensitive data I have set to 10. Give this a shot.

Unfortunately, it did not work. Thanks anyway.

Ok, it is not so important since everything else works fine. It was just a nice thing to have.

Just to check, I just place the two kexts (AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement, SMCAMDProcessor) inside the kexts folder, update the config plist, and install the AMD.Power.Gadget app (and reboot). Is there anything else I should be doing...?

Thats basically all I do here is my working version.

I fixed it !!
The problem was with the placement/order of the Kexts. They had to be moved lower in the list and above the GPU sensor kexts. I found out because I used propertree to do the OC snapshot and I got a message that the placement of the radeonsmc kext had to be corrected.

All Ok now. I also changed the expose sensitive data to 10 in order to get the motherboard details in the app.
Many thanks for your help!

Here you go. Mind you, I erased MLB, Serial Number, System UUID and ROM entries from PlatformInfo section.
