Asus X299 - Catalina Support

[ci2own]

I switched from iMacPro to MacPro7,1 definition, but i'm not able to get the Model on everymac.com with the Model Lookup button in Clover Configurator. So it seems is not a valid Serial Number.

I tried about 50 times with no success.

Does someone know why? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice about reinstalling - perhaps when there's some benefit to switching SMBIOSes, I will.

Be careful with Clover Configurator

I'm team OpenCore, so I edit everything by hand. Catalina seems to have introduced some interesting situations where things don't save to the EFI partition (I've seen Xcode do it a bunch now).

I understand that you want to see if there are improvements with MacPro 7.1 SMBIOS: for the moment I keep two NVme SSDs with macOS Catalina: one with iMacPro 1.1 SMBIOS and the second with MacPro 7.1 SMBIOS for tests.
OpenCore seems complex and not intuitive enough for my use so for now I stay with Clover or Clover + OcQuirks.

Hi All, hoping for someone to help or shed light on the subject. I am running 10.5.1 Catalina with no problems other than the CPU/GPU sensors are not working fully istat menus is showing my WX7100 GPU as an SSD ..... weird and no info for my Radeon VII at all. Also my 7980XE 18 Core CPU is showing in the sensors as 9 cores only!

The biggest issue is my ethernet drivers are not working I just want the 1G ports to work, they worked on High Sierra 10.13.6. I have the specs below. Can anyone help on these issues? I tried the SmallTreeIntel8259x.kext and the IntelMausiEthernet.kext with no luck.

Thank you so much!

What would you do? Remove all of them? How would I find out which ones are right?

you can read up on hotpatching here:

[Guide] Using Clover to "hotpatch" ACPI

Introduction Patching ACPI is always necessary to enable (near) full functionality when installing OS X on non-Apple hardware. There is a complete guide here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/ That guide uses what is known as "static patching". In...

also you can use this in terminal (when you have copied iasl from the link above)

iasl -da -dl *.aml

To make sure your patchmatic output disassembles without error

Try to remove first SSDT-X299-ANS.aml (NVMe SSDT's) and reboot
