Thanks for the quick reply, I’ll download the latest BIOS drivers tomorrow. With the PCI hang issue, i also updated clover from an older (probably 2017) version, and I think that may have done something to my config plist. I’ll try replacing the config file with my backup EFI folder and see if I...

Hi genzai, another request for your custom BIOS here. Its been two years since i tried to get the GC AR card working and i came close again, got it to register in windows, flashed both ports, all good. But I’ve never managed to get it to work in OSX. Now whenever i try to boot back into OSX i...

Thanks genzai- AR card now registers in win10 but not osx so far- i posted a longer reply in the thread but didnt reply directly by mistake- to avoid me sucking up loads of space please read up a few posts..

Thanks for the links, im away from the infernal machine for a week on holiday but will get stuck in again when i get back. The section on debugging thunderbolt drivers looks promising for my pcie problem with the alpine ridge card. Google brings back a gazillion possible reasons and fixes for...

Thanks Genzai, I managed to get the card to register in Win10 using the last PCIE_8 and BIOS F4. Now, I can see both Thunderbolt controllers in Windows. Woop! However, I'm now struggling to boot into Sierra when the AR card is installed. I'm getting a hang at PCI configuration begin- tried...

Hi genzai, I have the X99-Designaire-EX and have been struggling to get the Alpine Ridge add-in card to register on either Win10 or OS X Sierra. I have been connecting a UAD Apollo Thunderbolt interface to the USB C port on the motherboard with no problems in both Win and OSX, I just installed...

Hi GoingBald, Thanks again for your help. I managed to boot into macOS from SSD after removing all other drives and changing BIOS settings back to optimised defaults and enabling VT-x. I think the changes I made to thunderbolt PCI settings were causing the hang at PCI configuration begin...

Hey Apples2Oranges, just wondering if you've had any luck with your startech TB3-TB2 and the X99 designaire? I followed this guide in an attempt to get TB visible in OSX- basically install windows and update firmware...

Thanks for the reply, I'm in verbose mode at the moment, changed NCpi from 3000 to 2000, still getting the same hang at PCI configuration

Thanks for the quick response! I connected ssd to another mac and reinstalled the latest version of clover. When I reconnected to the system I was able to boot into clover from ssd (pic) but selecting 'macOS from SSD' option leads back to the clover screen after screen shows the attached log. I...

Hi Going Bald, I've been having trouble booting into Sierra since I installed Win 10 onto a separate HD. I'm a complete novice so please have mercy! I've been happily running Sierra from an SSD thanks to all the help on this forum and recently installed Win10 on a separate HD in UEFI mode...

Thanks for staying with me on this rehabman. Ive been making the USB installer using this build https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/rocket-88-i7-6950x-gigabyte-ga-x99-designare-ex-sierra-10-12-2.210140/ once I've made the USB and installed the latest version of clover I've been moving files into...

Hi, could you explain how I can access terminal from the USB installer? The UEFI shell 64 option symbol looks like terminal- is this it?! How would I go about moving the contents of the backup folder from OSX desktop to System/Library/Extensions using terminal? I understand that I need to...

Hi rehabman, Thanks for the clarification, I booted into windows and can see the EFI folder in File manager but i can't access System/Library/extensions to replace the thunderbolt kexts I deleted. Also, these kexts are backed up on my OS Sierra desktop which I'm guessing is on the HFS+ SSD...

Ok, I logged into windows and changed EFI/Windows/Boot/bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi. I've had to pop out but just so I'm sure I understand. is the EFI folder that's visible in Windows the same one that contains all my OSX/clover stuff(config.plist etc)- I thought that as my SSD is macOS...
