Wanted to document this.....
Symptoms:
Long boot time with Monterey 12.7.2 on a Western Digital SN850X
Blackmagic write performance numbers on boot (macOS) disk were terrible - 300MB/sec
Root cause:
I had made a full time machine backup in November. Even though I had turned off automatic...
Throwing in an extra THANK YOU to @beelzebozo for helping with my questions before doing this upgrade. Went from F8 BIOS to F27 to support the 13700K, only had to make one EFI change - I did not have SetupVirtualMap enabled, so after the BIOS upgrade, OC hung at EXITBS. Enabled SetupVirtualMap...
I upgraded my 12700K to a 13700K and ram to 128GB DDR4 3200 Corsair Vengeance. A few hours into it, the 13700K CPU (40-42C) temp does run 8-10 degrees warmer than the 12700K did (30-32 C). Appears to be no significant difference in graphics, still using the RX 6800 XT.
Some benchmark results...
I can't speak authoritatively about Nvidia, I just know its a pain for people in the Hackintosh community. Most AMD models seem to work well. I've got a 6800XT, and it's been flawless. When I was buying my 6800, there was not that much difference in the 6800 and 6900 performance wise, but...
@beelzebozo how is it running with the 13700? I was just looking at upgrading. Microcenter has the 13700K for $329 and the 14700K for $379. Also looking at 128GB of corsair vengeance ddr4 3600 RGB memory.
Attempting to update from Monterey 12.6.6 to 12.6.8 on my Gigabyte Z490 Aero G system. I was greeted with:
An error occured loading the update
I tried a couple more times, same problem, so I downloaded the entire installer and tried again, same error.
Then I tried putting in a new hard drive...
Maybe I am not remembering things correctly.....
Didn't istat menu historical data (last hour/day/week/month) plot on the build? I have nothing, it is not logging historical data, only displaying current data. I went back to OC 0.8.3 from 0.8.8 and that changed nothing.
Just a wee bit of improvement going from an RX6600XT to an RX6800XT on my Aero G Z690
Not sure why the single core score dropped while the multi core score stayed about the same? Oh well, this system is a beast!
If you have multiple identical NVMe drives in your Aero G Z690 DDR4, it can become rather tricky knowing which drive is which, especially if they are the same manufacturer and model. In macos, the BSD (Unix) name you see in disk utility for a particular drive may be disk0 on one boot, and disk2...
