Sure, no problem. I'm running with the e-cores disabled - make sure to enable ProvideCurrentCpuInfo if you need them. BIOS version is 5.02. HT enabled, VT-d enabled, virtualization enabled.

@ramazarusx I spent quite some time debugging the ethernet issues over the past two weeks. To understand what was going on I started writing my own ethernet driver (a port from OpenBSD) but quickly got into issues with interrupt handling. MacOS would simply report incorrect interrupt vectors...

I'm testing out the ASRock Z790 PG-ITX/TB4 and it boots successfully with a Z690-like opencore config and appears to be stable. However, I am having annoying ethernet issues (similar to @ramazarusx on the ProArt) where it just won't detect the ethernet cable. The chip is an Intel Killer E3100X...

I'm using an ASRock Z690M-ITX/ax which has been rock solid since mid-december. The board layout is really good but it is missing thunderbolt (if you're into that stuff).

You RMA'd your motherboard because Windows didn't have a very specific driver? What.. why? Windows 11 is working fine for me - a couple of uninitialized devices doesn't bother me at all. I tested the ARGB header when I first built the PC but haven't used it since.

Disable the e-cores and you should be good to go.

@bartesss I think the site is trolling you with its notifications. I didn't respond to you :) Anyway, I'm not using wifi on my desktop.

No problem, here you go.

They are working to the best of OSX's abilities, lol. See attached port map and notes. Must be used with USBInjectAll 0.7.7. Using this mobo has been an overwhelmingly positive experience as of yet. The layout fits large tower coolers (the $400+ ASUS variant does not), both M2 slots are on the...

Cool, but I assume this could affect performance negatively as long as thread scheduler is unaware of the E-cores (?)

Hi, just wanted to report a success story with an ASRock Z690M-itx/ax + 12700k (no e-cores) + 6600XT. My EFI is very minimal but the system appears to be stable. Geekbench single core hovers around 1900. Thanks @CaseySJ for your work.

Mate you can't generalize overclocking like that. Every silicon device has its own flaws & imperfections and therefore needs its own configuration. If you want stability, go for stock settings. If you absolutely want OC, boot up windows and tweak your settings there where tooling is much better...

Big Sur has fixed all (known) issues that I experienced with my 5700XT. Not a single crash or artifact yet. Zero RPM seems kinda buggy on any OS. I tried to turn it off in Windows and my card immediately crashed. My solution was to lower the fan start/stop temperatures so they never stop...

Not High sierra but.. I'm running 10.12.6 on an 8600K + Asus ROG Z370-I. The install was relatively painless. I had to use VoodooHDA for audio and Mausi for ethernet, other than that no issues. All 6 cpu cores are detected but the name of the actual cpu is not. C-states seem to be working...
