pastrychef's build - Asus Maximus VIII Gene - i7-7700K - GTX 1080

[Stork]

But you had to spoof the class-code, didn't you? It's almost impossible to get a brand new SM951 AHCI in Europe. If I don't get it I will be thinking about Kingston HyperX Predator M.2 2280 480 GB but specs are lower. I'm not sure if I would like to spend hours trying to set everything up with NVMe and keep an eye on it everytime an update comes.

RehabMan's NVMe Spoof Guide does require a steep learning curve, but I broke the code and you can too. Se my Gene build description for how I did it.

I built the same system with the 960 PRO NVMe - works flawlessly.

hello how did you manage your 960 pro nvme did you make a fresh install?

Yes, I used this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...s-viii-gene-i5-6600k-gigabyte-gtx-950.181272/

Hi,
pastrychef, I have the same build as yours. Bios updated to the latest. and all bios setup as mentioned.
Just wanna know, which boot mode you used. UEFI or Legacy.

Just a newbie here. Your expertise are needed very much.


Thnx

Hi.

Use UEFI. Also, I have found that the best BIOS version is 2202. If you use any version newer than that, you will have to install the EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts from the Clover installer.

 

[angel3m]

Thnx for the Prompt reply.

I'v updated the bios to the latest, 3401.

The EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts will be post installation?

 

[pastrychef]

Yes, it is post install. These two items emulate NVRAM.

OK, I created the USB.

Its not showing EFI disk separately. EFI folder is on USB, showing normally when selecting/highlighting the USB drive.
And when mounting the USB in Clover, it shows some other folders, like:

VOLUME/EFI/APPLE/EXTENSIONS
VOLUME/EFI/APPLE/FIRMWARE

Should it be this way? Just followed CraighZTech video. But its not the same.

Any ideas?

 

[pastrychef]

No. EFI folder should not appear on the root directory.

The EFI folder is on a separate partition named EFI that will only mount when made to.

Remember to click UEFI mode in UniBeast.

I suggest you start fresh with your USB flash drive and UniBeast.

I updated to the latest version of FakeSMC + Sensors (2017-04-14 release) and now have fan speed readings and more power readings!

Thanks to RehabMan for his continued dedication and brilliant work!!!
