    Yes, it was a System Prefs Update, super simple. It's more a cooling issue with the case. They mounted the PSU ~0.75 cm from the top of the CPU cooler which gives virtually 0 headroom for cooling, it also occasionally makes the single case (exhaust) fan spin hard to compensate. I actually...

    EFI folder should be good, but it's running OC 0.8.5. A few things: 1. If you use that EFI folder or config plist, make sure you disable AppleXcpmCfgLock, AppleCpuPmCfgLock, & DisableIoMapper 2. It looks like you already have a Dell Hackintosh, but just a reminder to follow dreamwhite's guide...

    Another Note: Dell updated the Precision 3630 BIOS on 12/13/2022, so you'll have to re-patch the CFG Lock.

    Also, on another note, if you plan on using an RX 580, buy the ones in the buyer's guide. The XFX Black and Core will not work. Buy the XXX or a Sapphire Pulse. Tried about 16 different ways to get the XFX Black to work and gave up.

    I haven't used a 4K Monitor, but it should. UHD 630 is rated for 4K, but limited to 24 fps if I'm not mistaken. Have been using a 1440p monitor with no issues. Can do 4k 60 fps through display port, but with Dell Precision 3630, it'll be 24 fps since it's an HDMI out...

    My thought is that it has something to do with Read/Write or with USB since it seems to be perfectly stable when it's idling. It happened when I was setting up the keyboard, and it happened when I was installing MountEFI in Terminal (was not using Keyboard or Mouse at that point). I am leaning...

    See Title. I have it booting into Monterey just fine, and it's stable when I don't do anything, but if I'm actively using it, it will fairly quickly black screen and reboot. USB was mapped and seems to be coming on and working, audio didn't have any issues. I have the CFG Lock Patched, and I...
