I have a few questions about what you used to connect your 9900 to your heatsink/cooler....

1. Did you use liquid metal between the 9900 and the heatsink? Or did you use some high end paste, like Conductonaut?

2. If, by chance, you used liquid metal, did you make two applications of the liquid metal, one to the 9900 (on the copper ihs) and one to the heatsink?

Thanks.....

1. Yes. I used Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut between the IHS and the heatsink.

2. Yes. I applied an EXTREMELY (I can't stress this enough!) thin layer of Conductonaut on both the IHS and heatsink. I did the same for the CPU die and underside of the IHS.

When applying liquid metal, try not to have any "ponding". As long as the desired area is covered, it's enough. If you see any ponding, it will end up being squeezed to an undesired area.

Not sure when it happened (I have auto-update enabled), but the latest version of iStat Menus now shows Vega temps. I cross checked with terminal and it was accurate.

ya! it's so cool! i noticed that recently too! even tought a rep told me it was coming soon. lol!. but i can't seem to find a way to display that Vega temp in the menu bar. that would be sick and the Ghz rating.too that would be perfection.!

Yes, unfortunately, they haven't added the ability to display that info on the menu bar yet but I'm still very happy with what we have now. Saves me from having to rely on Terminal only.

Nice. I'm sure you will be very happy with the 9900K.

Enter the following in Terminal:

sudo diskutil mount /dev/disk1s1

Once the EFI partition is mounted on your desktop, copy my EFI folder to it.

Hi Pastrychef, the change of Audio ID to 1 did the trick. The original figures was "2" and the microphone worked after I made the change and rebooted. Once again, thank you for your help!!

Hi Pastrychef, I just installed iStat Menu and noticed I only have temperature sensors for my SSD:

Did I miss something which caused my other temperature sensors to not show up? Thank you.

Look in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/. Do you have all the FakeSMC sensors kexts?

I was able to boot from the other drive. On cloning, it froze the computer at the last step of the process (tried twice), but using disk utility, I was able to repair the drive and boot from it. It's not stable, crashes on sleep, and I have no internet, but at least it boots (sometimes)

You have to enable XMP I mode in BIOS and use AptioMemoryFix. This solves the instability issue.
And EmuVariableUefi solves the reboot issue.

hi

After spending a lot of time with reading the thread and researching my issue by google I raise my question here.

I have issues with sleep - not myself, my Hackintosh. I'd followed your "pastry chefs guide" but sleep does still not work. I'm
at the end with my knowledge ....

Symptoms

• Sleep does not power on Display / Black Screen. I think the OS is not crashed, the OS does not switch on the Display that is connected by DVI.
• Geekbench does show only one GPU
• System Information, Graphics / Display : Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded
• Document Preview does work

What I did so far without any improvement.

If you are using iMacPro1,1 system definition, you can try disabling IGPU.
In your config.plist, you need to exclude one more USB port.
Your config.plist doesn't have power management enabled.

If you delete all the power management preferences, they should go back to defaults on a reboot.

Please try using my EFI folder.
