How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[dk1306]

I did the supplemental update successfully:

-Had to completely uninstall Nvidia Web drivers & put back the original agdp kext
-replaced apfs.efi with the new one in the EFI partition
-rebooted and the did the supplemental update through the App Store(->it reboots, then you have to select install to perform the update)
-after the update I installed then latest nvidia web drivers and ran the agdpfix, replaced OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi with OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi, removed xhci kext, adjusted the config.plist as it is in EFI-X299-10.13-SU-Release-101017.zip
-reboot

works like a charm

Thanks once again..
i have a question the VoodooTSCSync.kext.zip is not in your kext folder .. Why ?

You need to modify that kext file depend on what cpu/cores you have.. As also you need to have XCPM to be on the acpi folder too... Read his instruction, very detail, follow all steps he made, you will get your rig running for sure

Yes bro Thanks .. i now just ask why missing from his folder ..
my system works nice for "early adopter" and High Sierra

But
The easy way is to make thε setting from post 1
and your choice to be XMP and per core 45 / 10
that goes all cores on x45

It is processor specific! You have to place the correct file for your particular processor yourself!

Hi Guys, just managed to get X299 Audio working perfectly with AppleALC and Lilu.
This wouldn't have been possible without a friend "apfelnico" over at InsanelyMac who came up with the idea. I do not take any credit, I am unsure if I can link to another forum but I feel like he deserves a mention for his hard work. Link here

Here is what needs to be done, add these into Clover DSDT Patches:
Change CAVS to HDEF
Find: 43415653 Replace: 48444546

Change PC00 to PCI0
Find: 50433030 Replace: 50434930

Change PC01 to PCI1
Find: 50433031 Replace: 50434931

Change PC02 to PCI2
Find: 50433032 Replace: 50434932

Change PC03 to PCI3
Find: 50433033 Replace: 50434933

*Important* Change Layout ID to 7

I did the changes but Audio is still not working then I noticed the last line:
Change Layout ID to 7. How do I go about doing that?

Update: It worked after "Change Layout ID to 7"

It is already implemented in the config.plist of the last EFI-Folder!
