OC 0.9.8 and now 0.9.9 All smooth. (CPU still runs 130 Watt lower than windows... this is just whining not reporting :) )

I upgraded from 10400F to 11900KF. Kept Bios as was, spoofed the cpu and started testing both in windows 11 and macOS Sonoma. final spoofing(tried a few, nothing changed in terms of performance): Cpuid1Data <55060A00000000000000000000000000> Cpuid1Mask <FFFFFFFF000000000000000000000000> The...

I finally made the upgrade to 11900KF and after a bit of searching i spoofed the CPU and i got macOS Sonoma to load. Of course now i can hear the fans again .... 10400 was so so soooo quite ... So now i need some advice if you please - nothing ever goes fully smooth :rolleyes: - cause while in...

In case anyone has experience: Just found a deal on a new i9-11900KF for about 170 euros ... This is a bargain, no? Do you think it will be risky to go to this CPU on macOS? (10900 s or even 10700 s are at least 260 ... for a safer upgrade. I mean i am fine with my i5 at this point but in order...

OC 0.9.7 all good. OCLP at the end in order to install hacks for WiFi. Guys how do you access the old style "about this mac" window?

yep, you got nothing to lose. Hope it works, if it does then read my post here

yes! my screen went blank forever as well. I made 2 reboots and it went blank again. My wattmeter was stuck at 59 watts so i was convinced nothing was happening in the background. Still I left it like this and went and took a bath. Then i went for a walk and when i came back, after 1 hour and a...

Reporting success but i am still scratching my head ... : After quite a long journey i managed to go Sonoma with Wifi (fenvi 919) Open Core 0.9.5 // macPro7,1 - Update wasn't working. Had to download the full version - Got a restart, saw apple logo, restart again and the it took hours! Extremely...

As soon as i found out about gen3 and gen4 on Z490 i searched a bit and i found posts saying the same thing. Because 11th gen is not recognized by macOS they had to spoof the ID of the processor. Still that was fast reading. i didn't invest time cause a cpu upgrade is not in my plans at this...

I used MacPro7,1. I tried iMacPro as well and it worked great, but in fear of having to switch to MacPro later because of the latter being a 2017 model, i ended up with the 7.1. Had to use the RestrictEvents.kext in order to get rid of the "...memory module slots misconfigured..." notification...

ok so just to clear this post out: MSI, z490 (in my case MSI Z490-A Pro) + F CPU (my case i5- 10400F) seems to work flawlessly ! :headbang: Thank you everybody for your precious advise (as always in this community). :clap: Haven't done a macOS upgrade yet but all in all i had it up and running...

You are right, I know. It was the only succesfull post i found in the forum running Ventura. Or at least reporting it does. I have pinned few detailed builds that i found in github and i am already studying the ones from the golden builds on Z490. So many years i am struggling with X79 which...

Thank you so much for your help. We are talking a 302 euros for the above build. it is irresistible. The funny part is that after reading what you said about MSI boards i realized a "BUT" in the title of the post i referred to as an MSI Z490 success story. i mean... @sergzel WHY??? anyways, i...

This is good news. Will a macPro7,1 SMBIOS have troubles with a 10th gen Z490 though? They shipped with 9th, didn't they? I understand. It is such a huge difference though. More than 150 euro more for an Asus or Gigabyte. Very few models remaining. But above all i got bargain here... - MSI...

Hi all! Since 10th gen is a tad ... old some prices got a bit higher. So after searching all forum, golden builds and buying advises i got some questions: Z490 vs Z590 I can see that all buying suggestions are strictly Z490. Shall i forget Z590? They are cheaper ... MSI msi's Z490 are...

at this point a 10400f, an asus prime z590M-PLUS and 32gb DDR4 cost 352 euro new . And if i exclude the VAT ... :) Searching for the best chipset on 1200 and i am going for an order. Taking in account what you said plus a very easy upgrade to a i7 or i9 used after 2 years seems by far the best...

You are right but unfortunately prices AND availability of 7060s and 7070s in Europe are way more expensive. I don't see an investment of ~450 euros for one year of possible updates (estimating that sonoma could be the last intel macOS) worth it. Except if one will use it as a win 11 machine...

My thoughts so far on this ivy-bridge-e to Ventura thing, i suppose the -e part has a role here, for anyone left out there with such processor. It seems that this is not easy. I installed Ventura as i described above then i tried to play with it and see if it is stable. Testing it from all...

ok thanks a million mate. this is a SUCCESS !!! :headbang::headbang::headbang: the above procedure i done it before but with no luck. This time with more clear mind, although it still doesn't work out of the box, i added one more step which was the solution! so a break down of the steps that...

X79 - 1680 v2 on OC 0.9.3 kexts updated as well. all good
