I had this message only one Time, rebooting solved the issue for me.

@ALL use evry one Logic Pro X here ?

i can tell on macOS 10.13.0, 10.13.1, 10.13.2 the Performance is very very bad my 6700k build and my Macbook Pro 2015 has more Performance in Logic Pro x as this 18 Core Machine

if evryone have the same problem simple Solution install macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on the x299, disable all C State Option in Bios and remove the CPU sstd.aml and you will seee much much much more Performance

You can also disable all C States in the BIOS and remove the ssdt.aml under 10.13. The consequence will be that your cpu has no power management and runs under max.load conditions at all times.

Perfect recommendation...

Question : does Logic Pro X perfectly work under 10.13 on your 6700k build and Macbook Pro 2015?

yes but under 10.12.6 have you more performance, under 10.13.2 have you a litle bit more performance with disbale c state with enabled c state the logic pull the cpu frequencys not over 1.2 GHZ on the 6700k mchine i have this problem not.

yes on the mac book pro and the 6700k machine all works fast and great very very strange

Which is at odd with all logic and basics behind..

@warphead Interesting. I'm planing on buying this hardware for a Logic Pro machine myself, but if the current Power managment-implementation is causing issues with Logic Pro's speedstepping, that does not sound good at all!

Can you see if you can measure the performance with this tool and supply your findings?
http://www.evan.se/logicprobenchmark/Logic_Multicore_Benchmark_Test.html
(As a reference, my dual-core MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2016 with TouchBar, manages 37 tracks of this benchmark in Logic Pro X)
(In this thread you can see a lot of results from different machines, including hackintoshes, 5960x does 468 tracks!)

Do we have anyone else here that can try Logic on their x299 system and verify if there is a general issue here?

Working power-managment is one of my biggest concerns about this build. you really can't run without it on x299 and I belive Logic is one of the most frequent use-cases for Hackintoshes in general.

i sold my old system an i7 this past weekend and Dumped a fortune into This set up hah... i have had Zero luck Getting anything to work at all.. this guide is awesome and full of information but im having a hard time following it..
I have to get my computer working before Tuesday for work. i cant seem to get it to boot from the usb to do a fresh install of high Sierra, same Asus deluxe motherboard as here . 32gb of Ram and a gtx 1080 with a i9 7940X

I don't understand why those kexts are in there either, but MaldOn from a certain other site was giving me kexts and dsdts yesterday to try something out and asked me to try out the 18,3 as well.
PCIs are fine and I don't use sleep so I wouldn't know if it works or not.
I have the trident RGB 3600 memory.
The W836x, as someone else said is one of the sensors kexts.

O.k. great! Thanks for the answers. Do you have the product number and factory timings for your Trident RGB 3600Mhz RAM in order to help?

Would i be able to bother you for some help? im trying to follow your awesome guide but im thinking that maybe my brain is a little on the stupid side with this

i cant get the Usb installer to even boot... ive done Many Hackintosh before but nothing like this

Thanks man,
The number is F4-3600C16D-16GTZR
3600, 8Gb times 4, 16-16-16-36 1.35V

Allright, two further questions...

1.) Do you have an onboard XMP switch on your AORUS mobo? Can you switch it to on?
2.) Can you activate XMP in the BIOS of your AORUS mobo?
3.) What are the XMP RAM details automatically selected by the BIOS of your mobo after enabling XMP?
