Asus X299 - Support

[izo1]

My board was super stable with 128GB, I've been running it for 2 years without issue. I have always upgraded bios as they came out.
The last one was end of December, which is I'm pretty sure when it started to become unstable.

At the time I blame the weather and summer temperature, so I cleaned the water in my loop, there was crap stuck in the CPU and at the time the water flow had dropped from 165L/mn to 115L/mn.


wait what?

RPI flashing on an Intel Titan Ridge? how does that work?

this sounds awesome.

Got some steps? Would that work with the ASRock GB card? It's an Intel JHL6540 Thunderbolt card, same as in the iMac Pro.

As @djlild7hina mentioned, there's a couple of ways to do it, but I went the Raspberry Pi route since I wanted to keep it anyway and I'm using it as a SNES/NES emulator ...two birds..Takes some research but pretty straight forward. Just make sure you get a high quality clip for the chip, mine was finicky and took many tries (including pushing down gently on the chip with the clip). I think I used NVM33.

DSM2 modified the bios/unlocked it and also did the necessary SSDT work which is relevant for this motherboard and the bios version 3101 a while ago, for other cascade lake boards 3 months ago.

SSDT BIOS

That's cool, but would rather have ASUS fix all that stuff with an official firmware. If there are any other issues you guys should email ASUS, they will fix in the next revision especially since these are workstation boards that require stability.

Btw, does getting a Cascade Lake CPU for the SAGE/10G allow 256GB of RAM or is it still 128GB or is it dependent on newer board?

According to ASUS, 256GB works on any CPU for the Sage/10G (6-core and above). May just need a newer BIOS (2002 or above)

Yes, you can use the thunderbolt SSDT in kgp's guide. Believe it's compatible with alpine ridge and titan ridge.

Casey also mentions the difference between the SSDT method and flashing method in the 'Thunderbolt Bus activation' section here

I'm starting to understand more about TB3 implementation, thanks! Actually, the thing I noticed most is that guy sayin someone/somewhere is actually developing a way (a driver) to use intel wifi/bt (finally BT 5.0!)

yep, it’s still in early beta but very cool. It’ll be nice if/when it supports handoff and all that stuff.

could you link a repository / website / link where this intel drivers are in development to let us stay updated? Thanks.

It's kinda scattered around from what I can tell but this thread and post should help.

I have a question. for the AppleIntelWiFi.kext after having issued the following: 1. Sudo chown -R root:wheel *.kext 2. Sudo chmod -R 755 *.kext 3. Sudo kextload -v *.kext I should be able to have WiFi. Now do I need to issue the above every time i restart my computer? Not in my case...

hey guys and gals, not sure if it's the right place or should I just create a specific new thread for this but here is the problem that I've been strugling with for couple of weeks.

I've got Xeon W-3275 processor with Asus C621-64L Sage/10G and I can't seem to go pass the PCI Begin part, first I thought it was Clover issue but then when I finally managed to get OC running it did the same thing.
I know people been running on the C621 so what am I doing wrong?

Any input and suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Attaching the OC/Clover folders.

I think your best bet would be to create a new thread. Unfortunately I don't think there are many people (if any) here that run C621. Maybe @S1lla can help? Good luck!
