My rig doesn’t even boot OS X without DSDT. You could also create your own DSDT for your board, a good starting point is the DSDT-Patcher but be prepared for a steep learning curve. If you already have one for your board just copy it to the /EFI/XPC folder and name it DSDT.aml.

While some mainboards don’t require a DSDT descriptor file, most mainboards will perform better with a properly crafted DSDT.

With the default c-state settings the performance on my rig is reduced to 50% according to Geekbench.

You may have to remove the CPU c-states-defaults in XPC’s ist in order to gain CPU performance.

Once your rig is up and running, you can fine tune it by installing the kexts to /System/Library/Extensions and remove them from extra_kext/common.

XPC needs to be installed on a FAT32 partition with a Master Boot Record (MBR) on the drive.

Check out this link (you don’t need iBOOT though). You either need DuetToHDD on the Mac or a Windows-based boot partition installer. Please be aware that XPC doesn’t come with an installer.
