Thx for the tips...
What do you use to update the bios (i have no floppy on this pc)?
I tried with the current bios to enable the C-State but it wont boot... i will try later with the latest bios...

PS: maybe the update in the CPU microcode would help since i use intels E5200

No need for a floppy, make a dos usb stick. Like this:

THX, done that, but still cant make it boot with the C-states enabled... maybe it depends on the CPU?
Could u share your dsdt?

This is pretty much as basic as can be, this board just doesn't need lot of fixes. Even ICH10 works out of the box, I mean without dsdt fix or ioahciblockstorageinjector to fix orange HD icons.

make sure to use EFI 10.4 W/OUT GraphicsEnabler ...i.e....GraphicsEnabler=No.
add device ID to ATI4800controller.kext and ATIRadeonX2000.kext.

so now i have Graphics and sound working with patched AppleHDA.kext.
however, popping noise when sound comes out of sleep.
and System cant wake from sleep...just freezes.
maybe a patched DSDT.aml will fix both of these issues.
other than that, my p43-neo3-f is finally fully running!

What must I do to launch installation, or what distro will be working on my MS-7514 Neo-F?

It's great to hear that MSI P43 Neo supports everything OTB, especially c_states and p_states, so speedstepping works vanilla out of the box. Can you guys confirm the same with MSI X58 platinum? The owner mentioned that everything works, does it include the speed step?

This P43-Neo is real funny, with this I can boot to Win7 using Chameleon and sleep still works, no way to do that on my Gigabyte board.

May i ask u what CPU are u using with the msi p43 Neo?
Because i think i tried em all (even boot with your dsdt) and still can't boot with the c-states enabled?
THX

EDIT: another thing, what method (compiler) did u use to compile your dsdt?
