# Choosing the right SMBIOS

When choosing the right SMBIOS for your machine, you've gotta understand that it's more than just simple CPU match up. Many things can affect how your machine works as your SMBIOS determines CPU Power management, GPU profiles, USB maps and much more.

The main things to consider when selecting your SMBIOS:

  • CPU Type

    • Specifically mobile vs desktop vs server, as this can greatly affect sleep and overall system stability
    • This also determines whether or not you can use Apple's XCPM and what profiles you get
    • Note: AMD CPUs do not need to concern about this

  • GPU Type

    • Many things are affected here, like GPU power management (AGPM), display out support (AGDP), sleep (AGDC) and much more.
      • This is especially relevant when we look to the Mac Mini SMBIOS that only uses mobile hardware, which doesn't match well with desktop hardware. This is the reason we highly discourage them unless used for Intel's NUC series (opens new window) and such which are based off mobile hardware.
      • Laptops should also pay very close attention, as Apple always assumes that when a dGPU is present for the SMBIOS, all display outs will be routed through it. This can become an issue when an Optimus laptop has its external displays wired through the iGPU instead, causing black screen issues which would require more patching.
    • CPUs without an iGPU need to pay very close attention, as features like Quick Look and such will be broken if the SMBIOS expects an iGPU (ie. Every single iMac SMBIOS)
      • For these situations, look closely at the iMac Pro and Mac Pro SMBIOS
    • DRM is also tied in here as well however this is mostly resolved here: Fixing DRM (opens new window)

  • OS Support

    • Mainly relevant for older hardware, as macOS may still have support for the CPU however no longer supports SMBIOS from that era
      • Arrandale CPUs are a great example, as they still have OS support even in Big Sur (however no iGPU support past 10.13.6)

  • USB Devices

# How to decide

Generally our recommendations with SMBIOS is as follows:

  1. Find the right CPU Generation and tier as closely as possible
  2. Then match up with either iGPU only or dGPU SMBIOS
  3. Finally decide on misc things (like exact GPU and CPU)

And there's also some special notes with SMBIOS:

  • iMacPro1,1 and MacPro7,1 are the only 2 SMBIOS that will allow for dGPU to handle all the workload including background rendering and other tasks that the iGPU would handle
    • We only recommend this SMBIOS if you require this, however you'll likely need to fix power management as sleep may break if your hardware isn't of this class (ie. HEDT/Server/AMD): Fixing Power management (opens new window)
    • Note that this requires a Polaris, Vega or Navi GPU to work properly.
  • iMac20,2 is a custom SMBIOS meant only for Apple's custom i9-10910 CPU, so unless you have an i9-10900K we recommend using iMac20,1
  • Mac Mini SMBIOS should be avoided unless you're running mobile hardware without a built-in display
    • Intel NUCs are the ideal hardware for this SMBIOS
  • iGPU-less CPUs MUST pay very close attention when selecting a SMBIOS, as Apple always assumes the iGPU is present on the iMac SMBIOS, so you will need to find a SMBIOS without this requirement like iMac Pro or Mac Pro.
    • This also applies to AMD CPUs
