I have to mention that being able to work from Windows can be useful if someone is doing their first Hackintosh and don't have already a Mac to boot, or if the Mac install became corrupted and cannot be booted anymore... That being said, I am not expecting you to put everything here in your...

The version of AptioMemoryFix.efi I have does accept slide arguments. The one in your folder did not work, I tried everything. The only way to boot macOS, the first time, on this mobo was to use this version of AptioMemoryFix with slide=129 (calculated from memmap). After this first boot, I had...

Hello, Thank you for wanting to help, I appreciate that. The error was related to memory allocation. Either stuck at the ++++++, or just a line saying "Error Allocating 0x33ac pages at 0x000000000ee00000 alloc type 2" Etc. I was able to finally boot on macOS using this AptioMemoryFix.efi...

Hello everybody, I received the used MSI X99A XPower AC motherboard I got from eBay yesterday, and I am able to post it under Windows and Linux. Was not able to load macOS yet despite hours lost on the case. Memory allocation problems (not even able to load the kernel). I tried various versions...

Not happy with the Z170, the motherboard I have is very instable. Miss the X99... Changing everything to work with the Z170 is too time consuming. I waisted already enough time with that. Just ordered a second hand Asrock Fatal1ty X99 Professional Gaming i7 for 200 EUR. Looks like a good mobo...

Thank you for the links. Unfortunately, searching a bit some interesting pieces with a decent price ended with shipping cost and customs (added automatically by eBay on checkout) to be about the same a buying it new here (in France). I will wait for now and think about that as I may want to just...

Bought this computer (all parts) in 2015. Tried the ASUS warranty check and it says it is too old for repair. Thought of an used X99 motherboard, not so cheap but did not try eBay. And new ones are more expensive than what I paid then (crazy considering it 2011-3 as no future developments)...

Yes, that is very unfortunate... Did not even need those USB ports. I am surprised that a short on the USB port would kill the motherboard. Maybe it can be fixed, but I don't know how. When the motherboard is powered, only the internal power and reset buttons are lit. The USB ports (all of...

Can't do Flashback, nothing happens. The connectors are 2 separate 5 pins. Can be plugged either way orientation, no indication. I think I did it wrong. If only I could know what fried, but I can't find anything.

Got the USB2 tool today. Plugged it, then plugged a flashdrive... Fryed my motherboard (instant turn off, no smoke or spark, just went off as soon as I plugged the device). Unable to restart it at all. PSU seems all right, tried another one, same problem. Mobo is lit-up but unresponsive to boot...

Hello croc1, As KGP mentioned, you give us too little information about your setup, therefore we are unable to help. Your question about the graphic card is answered in the guide that is very detailed. Please take the time to read and follow the guide point by point. If you are struggling to...

For info, it seems like Windows 10 is using the same layout (used USBTreeView): My Computer: CORSAIR-PC - Windows 10 Pro x64 |---Contrôleur hôte Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible - 1.0 (Microsoft) | \---Concentrateur USB racine (xHCI) | |HS-[1-1] | |HS-[1-2] | |HS-[1-3] |...

I figured that much, and that is why I was not able to provide a port-layout.rtf yet. In the past, I noticed that the physical port numbers (Asus motherboard) and Mac OS port numbers (under IOReg) were not matching. The Mac OS layout was even different when I changed from Yosemite to El Capitan...

So, here is all I know about USB for ASUS X99 DELUXE layout. Both fully implemented XHCI and truncated-15 USB kexts are attached. For the HS layout, I don't have all the information as there are 4 USB2 ports (via 2 x 10-1 connectors on the motherboard) that I don't use: USB1112 and USB1314...

Yes, absolutely! I planned to do so, just did not take the time yet. Thank you again for this guide and all the work you share here.

As promised, here are the files used for my Asus X99-DELUXE mobo with Nvidia 960-GTX. The SSDT-ASUS_X99_DELUXE-XXX.aml files are specific to this mobo. The SSDT-ASUS_X99_DELUXE-Nvidia.aml file is specific to the PCI slot I put mu card, so that might need tweaks for other users. The...

Before all, thank you very much KGP for this great guide! It was very useful to upgrade my X99 from El Capitan to Mojave (clean install on a new drive). My system is an Asus X99 DELUXE with Haswell-E CPU and NVidia GTX-960. All seems to be working fine. Did not try sleep yet. Here are my...

You are welcome ;-) I don't know why your system is doing that, but I suspect a kext in SLE or LE since it is in early stages of boot. Compare what you have in there (SLE and LE) between the two setups. Also, here is a SSDT that has a better sleep/wake ; all the rest is identical to the...

Hi @aleegator. I don't have much time lately to be more explicit, but here is all of my config (attachment, containing bios 3101 setting + LE kexts + clover ACPI, clover config, clover drivers and clover kexts). You will have to tweak BIOS OC to the ability of your CPU and memory (and adjust...

Thanks SammlerG, that is right, and here is a working patch. So this is patched DSDT to replace the other, for Asus X99 Deluxe, BIOS 3101, to use with the SSDT patches I provided earlier.
