Hi! thanks for make X99-AII greate again! :)
I'm stuck on B.1.2) MSR 0xE2 register unlock for OSX Kernel Write ... Can't execute the UEFI-Patch procedure!
Got this :
C:\Users\X99\Desktop\UEFIPatch_0.3.9_osx>./UEFIPatch X99A2.CAP
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\X99\Desktop\UEFIPatch_0.3.9_osx>

Any help?
Thanks in advance
You do not execute a windows executable with ./

Remove the ./ to execute the command and continue.

This needs to be done within a OSX terminal and btw.. the commands are totally wrong and not implemented as outlined in my guide.

First at all @Scopia should implement the correct command and revise his post for being readable at all.

Seems here somebody simply lacks some unix basics.. ;)

With the UEFIPatch_0.3.9_osx folder on his Desktop and X99A2.CAP to be patched (btw the BIOS firmware file must be in the same directory), the terminal commands under OSX look the following:

Code:
cd ~/Desktop/UEFIPatch_0.3.9_osx/

./UEFIPatch X99A2.CAP

Me myself.. I am not using the TBEX 3 currently with my X99-A II but I used it before. I expect everything to be working as described in my guide.
 
Thank you for this great guide! I have a question.

I have Maxwell and Pascal cards working together. Maxwell TitanX is my main gpu. But i am loosing my OpenGL support after nvidia version 378.10.10.10.25.106. I have just updated my MacPro6,1 to iMacPro with the help of your guide. But problem still exists.

Do you have any advice to fix this issue

Sure.. change to Vega ;)

I have to keep a few nvidia card in my rig because of Redshift Rendering. They use cuda only. What about if i change my primary card to vega and keep my 2 x Gtx 1080 for only cuda rendering?

Does it work?

Ask @flymovies ;)... I would forget about cuda.. too buggy drivers anyway... and Vegas with Metal 2 might be even faster..
 
This guide is AMAZING! Thank you SOOO much. Fixed power management for cpu and graphics, was able to get lilu+applealc working.

Sleep/wake is still a little buggy. It doesn't always wake from sleep, and when it does, it has this quick power cycle before it comes backup and just seems to take a long time to wake. Any suggestions?
