Did you get the built in wifi working on the extreme? If not, there's one reason not to repurchase a stratospherically priced motherboard. The Maximus Gene and Hero hackintoshers all seem to be happy with their builds--including myself.

Hi everyone, and thank you Stork for the wonderful build! I was able to install this within a couple hours. Just one issue - I'm having trouble with wake after sleep. Usually after waking from sleep, even if it's wake from monitor sleeping, the system becomes very very slow and unusuable. Sometimes, it just freezes completely, and I have to hold down the power button to reset. I've followed every instruction in the guide to a T, is there something I might be overlooking? Thank you.

Hello, I am also interested as my system used to be laggy on wake up too on BIOS 2202 and Sierra 10.12.4.
 
Wooooo that was fun, got all the stuff working for making the HackrNVMeFamily-10_12_4.kext and the SSDT-NVMe-Pcc.aml
( Running on the m.2 960 EVO 250GB boot drive )
Its snappier than the single SSD

I still have not loaded in a SSDT file for my 6700K which is Overclocked by 15%, I haven't seen any problems yet?

I DO have an issue with my M.2 960 EVO speeds, See screen shots, I get random WRITE speeds between 300 and 1500 MB/s while READ keeps hitting 2000 MB/s

Is there a way to optimize this ?

Thanks.


** Also to get my audio working with a Schitt USB WYRD connected to a BIFROST + VALHALLA 2 I had to use multibeast to load in VoodooHDA v2.8.8 Additionally to get my MIC in to work same fix.

Gah, my NIKON D800 connected to a USB 3.0 port which for black magic gave a USB 3.0 stick 90MB/s WRITE 240MB/s READ is CRAP.

It is moving @ insanely slow speed of 3MB/s wtf

EDIT: I am fairly certain that this issue was isolated to ONLY the D800 due to iPhoto and the CF/SD card internal arrangement.

FCPX and Safari kept randomly crashing/closing as well as the Mackintosh went back to lock screen randomly. Figured it might be the lack of an ssdt.aml

Did not want to lose my OC so I took a crack at making the custom one which there were not straight forward guides. Once I grasped the concept of filling in what I can I made one and am running now. To be seen if it will get rid of my software crash problem

EDIT: Now I've gone to whole system crash and reboots. Rebuilt the file with addition of -c 3

-compatibility workarounds:

0 = no workarounds

1 = inject extra (turbo) P-State at the top with maximum (turbo) frequency + 1 MHz

2 = inject extra P-States at the bottom

3 = both

-c stopped the hard system crashes but as soon as I push FCPX to render something the software crashes. Has anyone been able to get a stable overclocked hackintosh?

I have a x61 Kraken on the CPU with noctua pwm 3000 fans. Ran battlefront planetside 2 etc with an even more aggressive OC and was stable. The 980ti is the Eva water cooled one, no OC on the mac

Mine is clocked at 4.8GHz with an air cooler. Never had random crash like what you are describing.

You should use ssdtPRGen.sh.

My USB has never slowed down like yours either.

Did you follow Stork's guide?

It could be your core voltage. I'm OC at 4.7 with core voltage at 3.125. You may need to raise it or lower core voltage depending on where you are right now. Each chip is different so the setting very.
