I have an ASUS 4K monitor. It all works fine as well.

@musikprylar I did some testing with network today. For the i218-V2, I'm using the IntelMausiEthernet kext included in the first post on this thread. I cloned the source repository and built it myself, which would be the absolute latest and saw no difference in performance. I'm connected to a...

This whole guide is based on the X99-A II. I have a X99 Deluxe II and it took me literally 6 hours to go from unboxing the parts, building the computer, installing everything following this guide, tweaking the small differences between the X99-A II and my MB, and having a functional system. This...

That's why I brought this up. I made the purchase based on the assumption this motherboard had a hardware RAID controller. That was based on a very specific question asking if a volume created with the BIOS RAID controller was visible within Mac OS. Having received a positive response, I assumed...

You could not have. You used DiskUtility to create it. DiskUtility detects that set as a RAID volume because it created it. You can move it to another Mac and it would still be detected as a RAID volume made out of 3 disks. As long as you keep the 3 disks together, Mac OS will recognize it as...

The RAID shown in that image (DiskUtility screen grab) is a software RAID created by DiskUtility. You may have created earlier on a different motherboard but it is nonetheless a software RAID not a *Hadrware* RAID. If you go to the BIOS, you will see that SATA ports 1-6 are set to AHCI. To...

Are you using software RAID built within Disk Utility? The more I read about this "Intel Rapid Storage", the less I believe it can work. It's not a true RAID controller. It relies on software running at the OS level. Without anything available for Mac OS, it will never support RAID. Are you...

Hmmm... I built a RAID 5 through the BIOS (Intel Rapid Storage). 4 drives on sata 1,2,3,4, which are set to RAID. Other (normal, non RAID) drives on sata 7,8,9,10. macOS will not see it. It doesn't show at all. Any clues? Is the RAID truly built instantaneously? I've never seen that. It usually...

@kgp Your work was a HUGE time saver. It took "only" six hours from unboxing the stuff to a fully installed and functional system. Thank you!

Overall the build went quite straight forward following this recipe to the letter. Besides having to fix the NVMe address, the only issue I had was once going through the “An Idiot’s Guide To iMessage” and generating a valid serial number, UUID, etc. it messed up the code signature for a few...

First note on the X99 Deluxe II. The address of the (Internal) M.2 NVME device is different. In my case, instead of "_SB.PCI0.BR1B.H000" it is "_SB.PCI0.BR2D.H000". Here is the source and compiled aml (It worked perfectly with the 960 Pro 2T): DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "hack"...

Busy night ahead...

@Thireus and @kgp Thank you both. I just placed the order (Deluxe II, 6950X, 960 PRO M.2, G.Skill RAM, etc.) We'll see how it goes.

kgp, I've been looking at building something to replace my aging (real) 5,1 and found your excellent build description. I'm placing an order matching what I saw here. Sorry for the deluge of questions, I will post my findings as I go along with the build. I'm ordering the X99-Deluxe II on the...
