It is in /Advanced/Onboard Devices configuration/ as described in my guide! You see that, as also clearly visible in your third figure, one can further scroll down to the bottom of the related BIOS menu window? I am sure you are able to find this specific setting by just taking a little bit more care...

I spend almost 2 nights but still no success to activate both internal USB 3.0 Ports at one time!
It looks really like its impossible to implement or consider all 6 SS-Ports and associated HS-ports at the same time in the XHC USB Kext like @kgp said.

So if you wanna use USB 3.0 with my kext you have to connect to the internal USB 3.0 Header near the RAM Slots or use an different method.

Dear Sir, you rock!
I Spent one after afternoon, and most of the night and didn't achieve the implementation. For me, there's no problem whatsoever, since, I only use one Conector.

The only "downside" (you can laugh....) is one cable inside the case that can be seen xD So, no problem for me


BTW, on a side note, did you or @kgp found a way to boot 2 monitors? ( the only reference I saw was using the AppleALC - Optional Audio Configuration I, but I may misread)

Hey Guys, how important is it to match the ASUS Memory Qualified Vendors List when choosing RAM?

Mobo: Asus X99-Aii
CPU: i7-6850K

It is as important as you want it to be.
If you buy listed memory you know that it will work - It has been tested by the manufacturer.
If you buy non-listed memory it probably will work but it might not.

Does it mean that the RAM on the list is tested by ASUS (etc) and all other Sticks not? Or that all other Sticks failed?

Unfortunately it appears to be quite important though! If you use RAM which is not part of the vendor list you always carry the risk of incompatibilities, which might just result in random reboots of your system...

In any case, if you do not use RAM recommended by ASUS's vendor list, you cannot count on ASUS support either, in case their support would be required ones. That's always their first question when contacting their hotline.... if you answer that you do not use RAM compatible with their Vendors List, any further support finishes immediately...

As I have noted in my Posts, I have been stuck in the XCPM section. I was able to derive the SSDT and do the Frequency Vector steps, however all the other steps and confirmations around them return negative. My board, the x99M-killer 3.1, does not have a setting in the bios for EIST. I did request from ASROCK a bios that includes Enhanced Intel Speed Step.
I'll see how it goes.
Anyways wanted to say thanks to everyone here including kgp and dj_adam21.

Asrock got back to me and said their X99's included Intel Speed Step but not Enhanced Intel Speed Step.
That seems a little bit notable. What does that mean for my Hack?

Nothing, both are same things just a little bit different name! That’s it!

Was wondering if you might consider helping me along.

In the original bios settings from KGP ASUS has some settings that aren't in the Asrock.
I am a step follower but I don't know really how to handle things.
I was able to do the ssdtPRGen.sh and even run the freqvectors but before the ssdtPRGen.sh; the kernel patching and kexts to patch, I did those things but the terminal inquiries to see if they took, they all returned a negative.
So, I think there is something that is different with the board that maybe the patching is addressing incorrectly.
KGP says it's a bios setting. I'd like to complete this hack more thoroughly than my previous ones.

Thanks
