How to extend the iMac Pro to X99 [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi! I need help, I have almost the exact same build:

Intel - Core i7-6950X 3 GHz 10-Core Processor
Corsair - H100i v2 70.69 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus - X99-A II ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 64 GB (8 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
PNY - CS1311 960 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate - Desktop HDD 4 TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive
Seagate - Desktop HDD 4 TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA - GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6 GB HYBRID Video Card
Thermaltake - Core X71 ATX Full Tower Case
Corsair - 1000 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
LG - WH16NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
TP-Link - TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter
Thunderbolt Ex3 Pci Card

I linked a copy of my EFI folder/setup here if it can help.

Everything works fine, High Sierra is all good, my apps and plugins are all fine. I had to fix a problem with the drivers of my graphic card that wouldn't load but now it's fixed.

So here's where it doesn't work, I'm a recording studio engineer and I recently bought a PreSonus Quantum 2 (thunderbolt audio interface) to be able to have to lowest latency ever when I record some clients. I have the exact same settings than you in the BIOS for the thunderbolt section, I managed to make the Pci Ex3 card to work on windows by installing the thunderbolt app and updating it's firmware, it's all functional, the Quantum 2 appears instantly when I plug it in Universal Audio app that goes with it, but however it doesn't on Mac. I tried to find a way to make it work, nothing seems to work.

I noticed that the Thunderbolt port on the Ex3 card is only made for Port Display, so I bought a USB-C adaptor to thunderbolt to connect my audio interface.
The usb 3.1 of the card does give power but doesn't seem to mount anything either.
I have an external hard disk reader that can be plugged in usb 3 or thunderbolt so I tried it on the card, the usb gives power but doesn't mount the drive, the thunderbolt port doesn't give power at all.
I installed Universal Audio with the Thunderbolt driver that comes with it
Nothing blocks it in "Security & Confidentiality".
In the system information it says that I have "No drivers loaded" in the thunderbolt section.
I tried to keep it plugged in during the boot, nothing happens.
I also tried to boot windows, have it work, restart my computer to see if it would miraculously connect on mac, it doesn't
The little "thunderbolt connect" light on the Quantum is flashing before connecting on windows but not on mac, but it does flash if I plug it in before I boot mac
Like they said on PreSonus forums, I tried disconnecting the thunderbolt cable 10 seconds, power it on, reconnect the thunderbolt cable, nothing there too.

I don't know what to do anymore. 2 weeks ago, I read on forums that I need minimum High Sierra for it to be recognized by my OS, I had Sierra on my hackintosh, so I did backup of my drive, I updated, it made my system crash so I had to do a clean install and restart all over, this thread is the only thread that really helped me to make the os finally work and boot on my Hackintosh with High Sierra, but the worst thing about this is that some days ago, when I managed to make my computer work and I tried to transfer all of my data back, I noticed that there was an error that deleted most of my stuff on my external hard drive where I did the backups, and I lost almost all of my datas... I have to redo all over plenty of studio projects from zero, I couldn't believe what was happening to me... All of this because I wanted to make my Quantum 2 work to use it and have a better latency to work in the studio! I paid 1000$ for that audio interface and it doesn't work at all, I'm at the point now that I want my money back because this thing suck and I lost way too many things while trying to make it work, unless there's a way to finally make it work the my mac side of my Hackintosh, please help me!

1.) Provide our system specs (mobo, CPU, GPU) in either your profile or signature in concordance with the board rules.
2.) EFI-Folder, kexts and and config.plist significantly deviate from my EFI-Folder distribution and guidelines.
3.) No System SSDTs implemented at all.
4.) Missing information: Screenshots of BIOS settings and Section "PCI" of Apple's system report, IOREG.save

Please carefully read and follow my guidelines and come back in case of remaining issues.

Good luck,

KGP
 
Hi, KGP

Updated to new security update today. I also enabled the SU performance patch and it now works (previously enabling Performance patch limited cpu to 1.20Ghz). Working good here. Just thought I would update. Also those with Nvidia cards, you will need to update the OS build in the NVDAStartupWeb.kext for the driver to work again.
 
I was also able to get XCPM and oc going after updating to SU2. Only problem now is two-fold:
  • I am unable to get C3 states, no matter what I do.
  • EIST always shows up as enabled, no matter what options I choose in BIOS settings.
Other issues are also there, such as wrong Package Power Limit #1 and Package Power Limit #2. See output of AppleIntelInfo.kext below.

I was also able to get XCPM and oc going after updating to SU2. Only problem now is two-fold:
  • I am unable to get C3 states, no matter what I do.
  • EIST always shows up as enabled, no matter what options I choose in BIOS settings.
Other issues are also there, such as wrong Package Power Limit #1 and Package Power Limit #2. See output of AppleIntelInfo.kext below.

I don't think that all this is really an issue, sorry. Don't believe blindly AppleIntelInfo.kext!

Ok, that's a bit of a relief, because I would see C3 load sometimes (rarely). I'm at peace now, knowing that it's not all wrong with my machine! Thanks!

Updated to new security update today. I also enabled the SU performance patch and it now works (previously enabling Performance patch limited cpu to 1.20Ghz). Working good here. Just thought I would update. Also those with Nvidia cards, you will need to update the OS build in the NVDAStartupWeb.kext for the driver to work again.
I had the same problem with SU1, processor stays at 1.2 no matter what (5820k, msr unloked asus x99 deluxe). Did you use the same performance patch for SU2?

Yes performance patch for SU2 was used successfully with SU3 and I don't get the 1.2Ghz freeze like before.

Ok, thanks, will update now, also Nvidia Released drivers for > macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra (17G4015) < . We'll have to wait for the drivers on mojave, or maybe, I'm optimistic, native nvidia support for egpu.
