Sorry to hear it's not working. I just finished helping a friend build a Z690 using an i9-12000KF in an ASUS ProArt Creator mobo. The I225V worked whether DevProp was injected or not (but when injected the SystemInfo looked better). We doubled checked activity by using only one Ethernet cable...

If I follow the guide, my I225V port also is inactive (in fact, the port disappears from SystemInfo without any DeviceProperties injection). Only if the DeviceProperties, as shown below, are injected, does the I225V work on my ASUS Z690 Max Extreme under Ventura (13.1; and same under Monterey...

Having BlueToolFixup enabled, or csr-active-config set to anything but 00000000, seems to defeat the incremental bypass and force performing a full download. Since I'm no longer using any Wifi/BT kexts, I was able to do an incremental update for the latest Ventura beta on my ASUS Z690.

If you set Above 4G Decoding to Enabled, both Booter/Quirks/ResizeAppleGpuBars and UEFI/Quirks/ResizeGpuBars should be set to 0. I've had boot problems when these are -1 and Above 4G is enabled (-1 seems to be okay when Above 4G is disabled). In your config file, while the former is correctly...

Booting Mojave on a Z690 I completely agree with you about Mojave with its 32-bit compatibility (and it seems to be the last macOS to allow booting macOS from an external USB drive). I worked on my ASUS Z690 Maximus Extreme and have Mojave working. The required CPU emulation is below (due to...

BT and USB Audio problem: a work-around. I recently noticed a BT-USB Audio problem with the Z690 ROG Maximus Extreme mobo. Maybe this is only applicable to the this mobo, but it could afflict other Z690s mobos. There are 2 setups that will potentially create this problem: using a PCIe Wifi/BT...

Yes, "ProvideCurrentCpuInfo", the "CPUTopologyRebuild.kext", "CPUFriend" and "CPUFriendDataProvider-iMacPro-1-1.kext" are all necessary. I didn't mention since these are also necessary for Big Sur and Monterey. Except for those settings I mentioned in the first post, all other settings were the...

I got Mojave working on my ASUS Z690 MaxExtr this weekend, using OC v080 (latest commit). The keys (as some have mentioned) were: 1. iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS 2. Emulate: EB060800 00000000 00000000 00000000 3. Booter/Quirks below 4. RestrictEvents (it now works in older MacOSes) 5. Kernel/Quirks below...

It was npci=0x2000

My issue with USB on the TB3 AIC is probably restricted to the AMD platform. There are some who are using the GB TRX40 mobo that supports a TB3 AIC, having a TB header on the mobo. They have TB and USB functionality on those mobos. My mobo is an MSI TRX40 that does not have a TB header and...

I had to pull the GB TR AIC from my TRX40 build in the latest Big Sur 11.3+ due to freezes. This card is one I've used in previous Z390 and X570 builds. I re-flashed tonight using the recommended firmware from the repository and Big Sur now seems stable with the TR AIC. Thanks! I know this is...

This post is about how Kernel patches can affect GPU performance, specifically a PowerColor Red Devil 6900XT on a 3970X Threadripper TRX40 mobo. If you're Intel based, the results may be interesting, but the patches are of no importance. And while the results are accurate for a TRX40 mobo, they...

Is the description ever unclear. The bottom section is poorly worded, suggesting that Intel is 0, or, disable is 0: "revcpu=value to enable (1, non-Intel default)/disable (0, Intel default) CPU brand string patching" At the top of the readme file this is contradicted by: "CPU brand...

revcpu = 1 is for non-Intel CPUs. For Intel, set revcpu = 0 (I updated the original post to avoid future confusion.)

Thanks. I updated the attachment on my original post to include your findings, so it now covers 2, 4 and 8 DIMM setups for MacPro7,1.
