Fixing System Clocks (SSDT-AWAC/RTC0)
What this SSDT does
The purpose of SSDT-AWAC/RTC0 is to fix the system clocks found on newer hardware, maily found in the following:
- B360
- B365
- H310
- H370
- Z370 (Gigabyte and AsRock boards with newer BIOS versions)
- Z390
- B460
- Z490
- 400 series (Comet Lake, including Z490)
- 495 series (Icelake)
- X299X (10th Gen refresh, AsRock and Asus don't use the -x naming so you'll need to double check)
SSDT-AWAC tries to re-enable the old RTC clock that is compatible with macOS, while SSDT-RTC0 will instead create a "fake" RTC clock if there is no legacy one to enable.
Methods to make this SSDT
