Bad times for me. Updating from 13.2 to 13.4 on OpenCore 0.8.9 resulted in boot looping. Wouldn't boot into the macOS installer either. Fixed it by redoing the EFI partition fresh with OpenCore 0.9.2, reset BIOS to optimized defaults, and then did an upgrade/refresh install of macOS 13.4...

Kudos on your build. May I ask what prompted you to go with 10.13.6? I ask because I'm thinking of re-tracing your steps on a 10.12.6 build. I'm curious if you feel it's worth a shot, or if you're aware of any roadblocks that would make it a wasted effort.

You've caught my interest. I'd love to build a second system on newer hardware running Sierra 10.12.6, as I still have heavy need for FCP7. Is the main pitfall just the GPU? Do you have any posts documenting your build, as well as any pointers or suggestions?

I'm sure you'll get the cards functioning at least as well as a 10G cards, and yeah, on paper a handful of NVMe SSDs and a 100G card sounds great, but you'll be going down a rabbit hole of sussing out weak points, starting with the bus speed. Does your mobo support PCIe 3.0, not 2.0? Does it...

You're going down one hell of a rabbit hole, my friend. Good luck.

Hmm. If you're on spinning rust (and 5400rpm at that), I have some doubts that a 100G card will get you much unless you're running a giant stripe of them and tune the crap out of the cards at both ends. I've got 44 7200rpm 12TB drives in my largest array and never once have I come close to...

Your situation might be similar to mine. I've got a pair of 528TB (raw) TrueNAS/FreeNAS arrays serving a small fleet of video edit workstations.

100G?!?! Wow, I'd love to hear about your 100G MacOS experiences in a separate thread. You using ATTO, or Chelsio? Are you tuning, and if so, what parameters? And here I thought I was hot stuff rocking 40G.

To be honest, I've never needed to revert, so I don't know how to flash it back using the backup file. However, what you can do is another backup of the eeprom in its present form, and then use a hex editor to compare it against the original. That'll tell you what bits are different, and thus...

Very possible! In fact, I already did so with that very same board, which is almost identical to the Z490 Vision D. Therefore, if you follow CaseySJ's Z490 Golden Build formula you should be good to go...

The offset addresses for the X540 and X550 are quite different than for the X520. To use the Sonnet drivers on an IBM/HP/Intel X520, this likely should work (at-your-own-risk disclaimers apply): sudo ethtool -E enp1s0 magic 0x10fb8086 offset 0x32a value 0x12 sudo ethtool -E enp1s0 magic...

Hmm. To be honest, I'm still of the opinion that the Sonnet driver is just a repurposed (and possibly less refined) version of the SmallTree driver. It also doesn't seem that Sonnet's 1.7.2 driver had any refinements particular to Big Sur, as it was compiled back when Catalina was just coming...

Is it working any better for you than the SmallTree driver?

The Sonnet has a different firmware SUBSYS-ID (16b8:7212). You'd need to mod your card to it in order to use the Sonnet drivers. I always thought Sonnet's drivers were just licensed derivatives of SmallTree's driver and were often outdated so I always stuck with the SmallTree drivers, but now I...

While this might be an ancient necropost, I have the answer to fix the above problem. Perhaps it will be of some help to someone in the future: Mrjayviper missed a step. You need to do this as well: sudo ethtool -E enp3s0f0 magic 0x10bc8086 offset 0x0022 value 0x5e sudo ethtool -E enp3s0f1...

According to the driver page on SmallTree's website, Big Sur is listed as "Not Supported". It's unclear if they mean "Not supported at this time", or if it's indefinitely. It's possible Catalina might be the end of the road for 10GbE Intel NICs.

I have a pair of 8GB Corsair CMR16GX4M2C3000C15 in there for now. They're kinda gaudy with LED lighting and crap. Native speed is 2133mhz but XMP is 3000mhz. Sidenote, I have four Kingston KSM32ED8/32ME 3200mhz ECC sticks on order. I was originally going to go with the KSM29ED8/32ME 2933mhz...

Disabling memory XMP in the BIOS did the trick. Seems to sleep pretty reliably now. Kinda sucks because that's a memory speed drop from 3000mhz to 2133mhz, but this is only temporary memory until my ECC memory at native 3200mhz arrives. Hopefully it'll perform and sleep happy at full speed.

1.7GB/s writes is pretty damn good by any metric. I just now tested a genuine iMac 2015 with a 512GB SSD that cranks 1.5GB/s writes (see screenshot), and it's used for heavy video work. Haven't benched my new Hackintosh yet but I'd be thrilled with what you're getting. What software are you...

Probably related to issues pointed out in the article linked below, though there's reports that the V2 chips are still affected. Supposedly a V3 version is on the way. https://wccftech.com/intel-foxville-i225-v-2-5gbe-networking-issues-persist-z490-motherboards-affected/
