Some problems with MSI X99A SLI PLUS 10.11.3

USB 3.0 problem with MSI X99A SLI PLUS 10.11.3

Hello everybody. I posted that msg too in hardware troubleshooting, maybe it was not the right place.

I have changed my hackintosh build and this is my new hardware:
MSI X99A SLI PLUS, 32gb ram DDR4 2133 kingston hyperfuryx, gtx 970 g1, samsung SSD 840 500gb, and h100i gtx.

Native sound (alc 892), usb 2.0, system, bluetooth and rest is working perfectly. But, I have 2 issues.

1) The usb 3.0 buses don't work as 3.0. In system profile it shows as 2.0, and I've tried with blackmagic disk speed test with few external HDD 3.0 and they are so slow (2.0 speed).


About the usb 3.0, I followed some guides to fix it, but whitout success. I think is because x99 mobos are different than the rest in all...

Here you are IOReg, config.plist and EFI folder screenshots. Maybe I have to use different kexts, I don't know. But I want to increase score in geekbench and fix usb 3.0.

Hey, I've seen that you have managed to get your system up and running pretty dang well. I have the same mobo and CPU as you and I was wondering if you can post the files and guides that you have used to get it running. I'm new to doing this and I want to start learning so I can get my system running.

Thanks!

Yes, sure.

I've followed this guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...capitan-10-11-2-clover-guide-100-working.html

I followed it with my ga x99 ud4p mobo, then, I change it for a msi x99a sli plus and everything is working with same configs. In bios, you have to set stepping in fixed, not dynamic mode, then you will get right OC. The audio "guide" is different, because our mobo uses different alc driver. You have to follow toleda's audio guide to get it native and working.

About how to fix usb 3.0, I followed the kexts and config.plist from this post: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...0-11-haswell-e-el-capitan-20.html#post1187345

Good luck

Thanks a ton! Hopefully I can get my running good

Hello
I have the same MSI X99 SLI plus and I can not boot.
You can please download link for content EFI and setting BIOS for this motherboard?

Thanx

I know your error in boot. You need to add test2.efi to that folder. Search in tonymac for it, that solves your osxaptiofix bug.

I've gotten it all working except for the audio, could you explain or show me more of what I am suppose to do? I looked at toledas thread but I'm not sure which one I'm suppose to follow.

I will try to explain you, my english is not perfect. Well, first, you need native applehda installed.

Then, you need add following DSDT patch to config:

<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Rename ALZA to HDEF</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>
QUxaQQ==
</data>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>
SERFRg==
</data>
</dict>

You have to inject audio channel 1 in conflig clover too.

Then, reboot your mac. Then you have to use the script I add to this post attached. Then, reboot, and it should be working.

Quick reply, thanks

-------To install native applieda I use multibeast and select ALC1150?
^ nope that is completely wrong.

I found the guide now and I am trying to follow it

I use test2.efi but the same result

Please send me EFI content your instal key

Thanx
