Dual Xeon E5-2670 with Asrock EP2C602, Dual Boot Hackintosh with Win7Pro or Win10Pro

[teamawesome]

I finally solved High Sierra on the EP2C602. I am updating my guide accordingly. The solution is adding a Clover DSDT patch to rename CUU0, CUU1, CUU2, and CUU3 from your DSDT so that they don't cause KP's.

@teamawesome, newest Intel CPU microcodes (Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge) with Meltdown and Spectre Vulnerabilities fixes (really one of Spectre variant)? Does your UEFI Shell have bcfg command. I requested ASRock new UEFI for EP2C602-4L/D16 with NVME boot support. Send with missing UEFI Shell bcfg command and maybe some more commands. Did you special requested ASRock UEFI with Intel CPU microcodes update! Do you have problem described http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211?

Thanks.

Unfortunately I did my testing reaaalllyyyy late last night and spaced on testing the UEFI commands. To be continued...

@Coool I finally got around to using the UEFI Shell. Its all !$!%#% up. I tested both 1.80 and 1.89. Have you opened a support ticket? I can't manually edit bcfg and also the BIOS doesn't see my SSD as a UEFI bootable drive. However, I can manually launch Clover without issue from within the shell (fs1:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI). So weird.

@teamawesome. I send e-mail to Europe (Netherlands) support about bcfg issue some time ago. No replay. I think ASucks support (works students ) is Great Again. I don't want to talk about question I asked about LRDIMM long time ago. If you need to add boot record to UEFI NVRAM, use EFI\CLOVER\tools\Shell64U.efi. You will find bcfg command. But anyway, fix is needed. I want to know from there originally AMI UEFI Shell comes from (source).

Hi there.

I'm looking to build a system based on the ASRock EPC602D8A (single socket version based on the same C602 chipset)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...157523&cm_re=epc602d8a-_-13-157-523-_-Product

Aside from specific edits for DSDT/SSDT and config.plist, I assume much of this guide would be directly applicable, But any feedback would be appreciated.

I've bought an E5-2680 v2. I'll start with 16GB Samsung ECC PC12800R (1600MHz) (2x8GB) and update when I have a chance (to 4x8GB for quad-channel support)

Thanks
M

Hello Friend mikeonmac

E5-2680 v2 is design to work with paired CPUs , it is not for single socket . You might go with Intel Xeon E5-1680 v2.
I bought my RAM from a guy on ebay - Japan . Excellent price

The E5-2680 v2 will work just fine in a dual or single socket configuration. It will have more cores but a slower frequency compared to the E5-1680 v2. Just because a CPU is dual socket capable doesn't mean it must be used with two CPU's.

Everything in this guide should work with the following exceptions:

• Your board has a different Marvell chipset. I lack knowledge on if it will work in macOS.
• BIOS configuration will be different.
• Your board has different NIC's. Search on the forums for Intel i210 support.
• Your board has onboard audio. Search for support for the ALC892 chipset.
• Your board has USB 3.0. Follow the USBInjectAll guides.

Hello everyone!

I followed the recent, really good @teamawesome's guide to do a clean install of High Sierra (13.4). And as I have a Sandy Bridge the settings for CPU PM don't seem to be optimal (I created a custom ssdt following the guide)
I was wondering if maybe @Rysiu you would know how to work this out. Here is my EFI partition just in case…

I requested ASRock new BIOS for EP2C602-4L/D16 with NVME boot support too and no response , i saw this post :http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211 too , please share UEFI L1.89I (with NVME boot support) bios to me ,thanks very much ...

I don’t have a copy of the 1.89 BIOS you need, but you can easily mod the 1.80 BIOS to add the necessary OPROM to support NVMe booting.
