I am not booting directly on the PCIe mounted M.2 SSD - I am using my old SATA SSD with Clover, then selecting the PCIe drive and booting into MacOS High Sierra from there. There was a bunch of posts on the Windows side when the 950 Pro was new using Clover to solve booting issues. I didn't see...

Data from XBench - not sure this is reliable, but interesting. I get some variation on the 4K sequential reads - I show 78 MB/s below, but I have seen runs in the 50s and one in the upper 20s. Everything else is pretty consistent run to run. I do know the Samsung Firmware is out of date and I...

More details to the quick post above. I am not booting directly off the PCIe drive - I am booting off my old SATA SSD into Clover (r4871) and then choosing to boot off the PCIe SSD. I can boot directly off of the PCIe drive in Windows 10 (had to install twice to get it to actually work) - but...

Update - Now booting off of a PCIe NVME drive! There is a very short time NVME SSDs were sold that supported booting via BIOS. Samsung 950 PRO is the most famous, but supposedly Plextor M8Pe(Y) - the (Y) comes with the PCIe adapter - Kingston HyperX Predator also work. I used a classic Lycom...

You are correct - this thing is older than I thought. Lynnfield using the Nehalem microarchitecture. I didn't see your post, I apparently wasn't watching the thread, so no notice of a reply. Reply again if you still need that.

Aha. This thread is overkill if using 10.13, which I am. So this will be slightly off topic, but short. To finally get this to recognize my drive I had to get NvmExpressDxe.efi loaded. - Clover Configurator wouldn't install it when selected - it uses a 'new' file structure and I had to add...

Just grabbed a 950 Pro and adapter card and it boots fine on my GA-P55M-UD2 into Windows 10, it shows up in BIOS boot selection screen. Still looking at how to get it to show up in Clover. Just started looking at this thread and a user on page 1 got his 950 Pro working, so I guess I could...

I have a RX560 (Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 560 4GB) and it is working great over HDMI.

My R9 280 went bad and I replaced it with a RX560. I am much happier. I use a 4K HDMI monitor and do no 3D work.

Seems like the default AppleRTC can write garbage to the BIOS. My machine thought I had set a password. I typically disable sleep - I had problems with that even on genuine Apple hardware. The patch I am using at the moment is here...

Mixed results here migrating from Sierra to High Sierra. When I do a full Migration Assistant, but with Other files and folders unchecked I still get a no boot. This hint does work if I do a minimal migration (ie all the options unselected) (including the Other Files and Folders unchecked)...

PS the version of Clover that ships with Multibeast for High Sierra (v10.4.0) will not boot my machine - it gets stuck at Loading Operating System. When I upgrade (r4871 currently) it works.

These were a big help to me. I ended up replacing AppleAHCIPort with v328 instead of patching above. I used the file and method in this post: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-drives-not-showing-up-in-installer-disk-i-o-error.233104/#post-1592690 . I am using the AppleRTC patch you...

I got just past that. After IOProviderClass I got a bunch of AppleUSBHostResources@ lines, HID:Legacy Shim 2, apfs_module_start, then one more AppleUSBHostResources@ then the big circle with a line thru it. Update: Fired up the Unibeast USB drive. In Clover selected the updater, and again...

Upgraded to High Sierra (well did a Sierra upgrade last year between El Capitan and High Sierra). Mainly to get my RX-560 video card working Build Update: Current Config MB: GA-P55M-UD2 CPU: i7 870 (Sandy Bridge) Case: Corsair 550D Graphics: RX-560 - Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX560 14CU 4G GDDR5...
