My latest is still based off of this, with a few minor modifications.

@izo I have the Radeon VII as well and a Titan Ridge. Do you have the VII in slot 1 and a Titan in slot 2? If so are you water cooling your VII? eyeballing fit complications with both sitting side by side Thanks

I put 2 Radeon VII in slots 5 and 7 so that the titan ridge could fit in the slot-2 otherwise it wouldn't work

Thanks fore the reply @oli.mathieu Couple questions... Did you go the open core route? NVME? Which Slot 1 (vertical riser) or 2 (horizontal)? Also did you add a Bluetooth card, which slot?

Following KGP's guide for Mojave install. Trying to install 10.14.6. Don't think I missed any steps but I get a X when trying to boot the installer from USB. (Clover does load.)

My specs:
Processor: 10980xe
Board: ASUS X299 Sage/10G
Graphics: Radeon VII
also have a raid card installed (confirmed works with OSX, had it in my old hack.)

Anyone have any ideas? Do I have to modify his guide for Cascade Lake-X or the 10.14.6?

Also, is there any way to do m.2 wifi on this board?

Thanks

@r2tincan I am doing a bit of a card slot survey on machines specs similar to mine. Did you go with OpenCore or Clover? What slot is your Radeon VII in? Using NVMe? Slot? Titan Ridge card? Slot? Bluetooth card, slot? Thanks in advance!

It played with OC , but I finally used Clover
I used the NVME vertical slot with give a better cooling performance.
If it would be in the horizontal slot the NVME it would be heated by the hot air from both GPU (Radeon VII exhaust hot air from top and bottom)
I haven't any bluetooth card, I used an USB dongle (with keyboard and mouse) at monitor's USB hub

Slot 1 for Radeon VII, Titan Ridge in Slot 2

Its a full watercooled system for the CPU + GPU.

Check the Sage 10G manual, some slots run at 8x, so it's best to put the GPU in a 16x slot.

Thank you! This helps. I have a waterblock for the GPU as well, but not attached yet. Did you put a Bluetooth/wifi adapter in a specific slot? What about an extra USB hub card? Much appreciated

Today I replaced my Vega Frontier (and nvidia 1080Ti) with a AMD 5700 XT (PowerColor Liquid Devil) worked first go, nothing to report really.
Under macOS 10.13 unfortunately, the screens stay all black. I had hoped it would at least show in VGA mode like it does on windows. Whenever I was rebooting under 10.13 (quite rate these days) I had to remove the nvidia one.

Geekbench 5 score:
OpenCL: 59787
