X299 Big Sur Support

that I'm stumped with what I've been reading here for some time :
- of course our platform is almost four years old and was updated with the X299X a little over a year ago
- we know that like the X99 platform before, our X299 will be discontinued in some time this year and the components will run out soon after
- but no other Intel platform offers more than 14 cores and also 48 PCI lanes...

So depending on the use that the owners want to have, it is for the moment the only alternative apart from the AMD TRX40 platform.

We also know that Apple ditched Intel CPUs so that everyone is free to use the new Apple CPUs, but repeating it over and over again isn't very constructive and even a little sad.

Just my opinion, take care of you guys :wave:

Thanks @djlild7hina for continuing support for the moment :thumbup:

NB I haven't mentioned anyone

I think I'm one of the "non mentioned" in your post and I want to be clear: I appreciate your work here and I respect your (or every one else obviously) opinion. I just think it's worth supporting whoever built an X299 platform in the past but spending money on it now is... how to say... subjective!? I jumped on hackintosh just a couple of years ago, I think it's sad too, but hey... let's hope Apple keeps up the good work on its silicon since it will be the only option in a few years. It's interesting to have different views and be able to share them in peace, one of the reasons this X299 group has been and will be so interesting to read even if our systems are 100% working :clap:

Ok, but do you have any constructive advice beyond get yourself a 9900k or an M1 (incidentally I own both)? If I have computing needs that surpass what my current machines can offer, what exactly are my options here?
 
I don't know why there's always fighting/disagreements in these threads haha

Anyway, I think I am leaving too, I am not much help nowadays anyway, but I do try to chime in here and there.





Enjoy guys and hope for the best for all of you :wave:

In my humble opinion, I'll let my money stay in my pockets at the moment, but if u really need all that computing power and you need it now and money is no object, then build an X299 18 core + dual GPU (5700XT or VII) system, i think it's also possible to hack a Xeon W system (can't remember chipset name, maybe C340 but I'm not sure) which is the same platform than real mac pro. But all of it depends on your kind of workloads, CPU and/or GPU intensive?! More than 128 GB of RAM (ECC?).

You can also buy a real Mac Pro, but you're writing on an hackintosh forum, so that's not an option maybe :lol:
 
Yeah, I'm not that wealthy. Plus I have this strange feeling that Apple is about to let a lot of Mac Pro customers down.

If Intel had an actual roadmap for high-end 11xxx CPU's within the next couple of months, I could see holding off and waiting. Unfortunately there is a good chance that they're not releasing any pro-grade CPU until this Summer at the earliest, and then there will likely be another crazy feeding frenzy with prices for the new processors skyrocketing the way the GPU prices are at the moment (which is absolutely insane).

Based on what I'm reading here, I think my best bet is the i9-10980XE for around $930, and the Asus Prime X299- A II that is going for around $390. For $1500 including tax and shipping, more than doubling my current cores doesn't seem like a horrible waste of money even if I'm buying into older technology (which is basically the entire Intel lineup right now).

Thanks.
 
good days,

i am confuse now. motherboard Asus X299 Deluxe II, and the newest BIOS is 3301.
previous BIOS 0802 so far so good on macos.
but i upgraded BIOS to 3301 last night and i no longer can boot into macOS via Opencore....

bios 0802:
i have one issue, if i enable CSM in bios and boot into macos, all USB port dead.
any solution for such issue except to disable CSM?
 
Hey guys did anyone installed BIOS 3405 for WS X299 SAGE/10G? Any Problems?

No changelog for 3405 :(

Any unofficial sources for it?

Just updated and so far so good. Looks like they added resizable bar support but not sure what else has changed. Make sure Above 4G Encoding is enabled and resizable bar support is Disabled

Edit: Looks like the Deluxe II and Extreme Omega have updated BIOS too. Assuming it's just resizable bar support
