Hi. I've been trying to get my old GA-X79-UD3 working with Sierra for the past few days and would really appreciate some help It was great running 10.8.2 for a couple of years and last year I got El Capitan running smoothly on an Asus X99A/USB3.1 but this is proving to be quiet problematic...

Hi Joe. I'm thinking of installing Sierra on a GA-X79-UD3 which used to run Mountain Lion really well. Hence, I've made a return to the forums to see if anyone has done this. Just wondering if you got this rig working.

Hey!!! I've been busy setting up a new studio so sorry for not checking in, Hans. My system is still working fine. The eSATA was easy. I just didn't have it configured in BIOS!!! The DSDT edit (byte / bit), I agree with you. It's a bit late for me to go back and do anything about it now...

Hey, thanks for the update, Xavi and don't worry about being busy. I know what you mean !!!!!! I have not been able to boot without NullCPUPowerManagement.kext. Whatever I try, my system just reboots. This happens so quickly, I cannot see where this happens. At the moment, my system seems to...

Hey Xavi, I hope you are well. I have been thinking about this for a few days. My system is running great now. I got two SATA ports working as hot swappable. All USB is working and my GeekBench 3 score is about 21400 which I am happy with. Also the output from my Intel Power Gadget when I run...

Hi Xavi. Wow, that's great. My system is also working very well but I still feel that it could be better. I am stuck on a problem. I would like to have one or two of my SATA ports to be hot swappable like eSATA. I am looking for a DSDT solution to this. Since all my ports are driven from two...

Hans, I forgot to reply to your question: Have you got your NVMe working via Clover's patching? I used RehabMan's suggestion to install the kext without patching as sometimes Clover will not load a patch / kext completely. Since this is all about the boot drive, if anything goes wrong, it could...

If you are following Xavi's method, you should only be using X99PlatformPlugin.kext and you should not need FakeCPUID. Everything should work. Did you generate X99PlatformPlugin.kext from your system? I am using Xavi's method as a guide only. My X99 build was already running. I just needed to...

Do you have NullCPUPowermanagement.kext installed? I think you either need this or X99PlatformPlugin.kext. Also, in BIOS, you should disable EIST (SpeedStep) but keep Turbo switched on. Then you need to make a SSDT to get speedstep working properly.

Sorry, I meant hub on HS09 and SSP6. My mistake. Okay, I will look again at your DSDT. I think you think that this is the best solution. Thank you again.

Your DSDT is very similar to mine. I really like your _DSMs... Very cool. I have a port on HS09 (PRT1 - PRT4) and another port on SSP6 (PRT1 - PRT4). I will look closely at your DSDT and try to take your work and apply it to mine. I will let you know what happens. Just a couple of questions...

Really????? On the right, third window from the top. I can see that it is empty. OS X has no idea what your porcessor is as Haswell-E is not recognised. You have to 'fake' it. Hence, FakeCPUID.

Thanks for this Ammulder. I'm just getting the hang of all this stuff, specifically USB SSDT and your write-up / guide has answered so many questions for me. I'm still stuck on one thing, though. How do you negotiate internal hubs? I have HS01 -HS14 and SSP1 - SSP6 listed but I have hubs...

Hey Coclondis, have you got the correct processor ID in Clover. I am also using an Asus X99a (but a USB3.1 version) and a 5820k. Go to Clover/Kexts and Patches/FakeCPUID and enter 0x0306E0. My GeekBench 3 score is about 21480. I need a very stable system so I do not overclock. My maximum...

Xavi16, I have tried with no kext and indeed some of my USB ports do not work. I have added to my pdf with results from IOREG version 3.02. I have also looked again at your SSDT. I am finding it hard to see a correlation between USB data on your Rampage V Extreme (which might be similar to my...
