Asus X299 - Support

[djlild7hina]

But it’s mandatory? I read somewhere that jump pins is for motherboard without thunderbolt header onboard

Yes you either need to jump or plug in header. Otherwise the card won’t be powered

I can't understand correlation between ram slots and SMBIOS. to you too: just switch to OpenCore.

General advice is to switch to OpenCore, it requires a bit of understanding and reading at first place but It's totally worth it! Check the X299 OpenCore support thread, there are some prebuilt EFIs helping you guys to start!

I have tried OpenCore now and I'm getting stuck at the very same position as before on Clover.

Any ideas?

I fast checked your EFI and it's a mess. stick to this guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-HEDT/skylake-x.html

Few things:
1. Are you running a patched BIOS with UEFITool?
2. Why are you using NullCPUPowerManagement? You should use TSCAdjustReset.kext
3. SetupVirtualMap needs to be set to No under Booter-Quirks.
4. You're missing USBInjectAll.kext with XhciPortLimit set to enabled.
5. Not sure where you got the SSDTs but they might not be compatible with X299

Try starting with the BASE-EFI in my github on post 1.

I jump the cable...i made SSDT with method 2 as shown by casey post, i put in ACPI patched dir in clover that SSDT + SSDT_DTPG....the controller is shown in system info but i’ve no hot plug. I tried with apollo card and 2 hard disk thunderbolt 3 i used with my other unpatched controller.
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot. The BIOS has been patched.

I tried it with your Base-EFI. I did everything written on the GitHub instruction and came up with the same error but slightly different (USBInjectAll.kext, see Picture). I couldn't find the option to enable XhciPortLimit when opening the kext plist.

As I wasn't sure if the X299-A II with its latest Firmware (0603) counts as pre or post Cascade Lake X motherboard, I did try the procedure twice with the different SSDT-RTC0.aml files - unfortunately without success.

Is this on a fresh install? Or are you migrating from Clover to OpenCore?

X299-A II is a cascade lake x refresh board so it needs to be patched which it seems like you did.

You need to use this version of SSDT-RTC0.aml
