iMac Pro X299 - Live the Future now with macOS 10.14 Mojave [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[vincek8s]

Yep all USB ports work in OSX. I made a USB Kext in @kgp github repo and since the sage 10GB doesn’t have that many ports you don’t have to worry about deciding which ports to disable in mac

But yep I use those adapters for bluetooth and my usb 2 hub.

I used to have
Internal usb 3 header -> usb 3 to usb 2 adapter -> usb 2 hub -> bluetooth, Titan ridge usb cable, and Corsair commander pro (which then has two additional USB ports -> power supply, and h150i)
Usb 3 pci card with internal usb 3 header -> front usb ports

Currently messing with
Internal usb 3 header -> sabrent usb 3 hub -> front usb header, bluetooth (with usb 3 to usb 2 adapter), Titan ridge (with usb 3 to usb 2 adapter)

Dropping the Corsair stuff since Mac OS will not sleep with the aio plugged in. Also switching to full watercooling soon anyway so doesn’t matter.

I’m not sure about other aios but if sleep is important to you and you get Corsair just setup your profile in windows first, then plug the fan cables to your fan headers

I have the NZXT one and sleep works fine on Z390, already tested it. The trick I used to make sure didn't collide in OSX was to completely remove the USB port from SSDT (USBInjectAll). I saw on the manual that the X299 should have 2 USB3 ports, are those connected to a single internal hub?

There is also this hub which seems could do the trick.

Yes that also works but I also need usb for bluetooth so I didn’t want to disable the internal header. Yep that’s the one I use but I’m just trying to clean up my rig a little bit.

And the 011 dynamic is pretty nice and having so much room in the back is a plus just wish there was a little more room below for a rad in the bottom without covering pci slots. Not a huge deal though

All is said and linked in the post you quote above. No idea what to add at this place.

I also emphasised that I use a VII for testing purposes only, which did not implement any recommendation for buying a VII for now. We really have to wait until the VII is fully implemented under macOS and see if it is also fully compatible with X299 by then.

My Prime X299-A mobo has CPU1 - CPU2 - AIOPump fan headers and I got a 360mm corsair AiO. Pump cable is connected to AiO pump header for me, and I got 3 push fans at CPU1 (Y splitter) and 3 pull fans at CPU2. This way my system is quiet in idle and goes a 5GHZ all cores (pretty high temps, some thermal trottling) at maximum. 40K points on Geekbench multicore. You should try... no sleep/wake issues at all, the system even unlocks with the Apple Watch!
A lot of headaches for @kgp to get there! ahahahah

Is the usb connector connected to the h150 plugged in? Or the USB port in Mac OS disabled? Plugging the cable wakes up the pc. But looks nice! I had the 500d rgb version so pretty similar to your 570x

Very esoteric question indeed.. Can you show a drawing to show to which distance you are exactly referring? Anyway the Sage is E-ATX, which also requires a different housing in my case. Thus for me, the change from the Deluxe to the Sage is non-trivial and requires a complete system rebuild.

From the Sage/10G manual I saw it reports as a standard ATX motherboard, is it actually a little bigger than that?

@djlild7hina How's your build coming along? Any pictures you wanna share?

It’s CEB so it’s in between atx and e-atx. Not that much wider than atx.

12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm )
Vs
12 inch x 10.5 inch ( 30.5 cm x 26.7 cm )
