Haswell-E + X99 Motherboard Temporary Guide - OS X 10.10

Haswell-E + X99 Motherboard Temporary Guide - OS X 10.10.0

I have a fully working system as well, hardware as follows:

Gigabyte X99-UD4
5930X
GTX660 (for GUI)
GTX780 (for processing)
16GB RAM

Using as a video editing station (DaVinci Resolve 11.1 and FCPX).

Everything works great, DaVinci is lightning fast and unless I have really complex correction nodes, speed remains at realtime (25fps). FCPX is also stable, edited a 5min video last night with no hangups, crashes or anything.

Have the following issues:

1) I can verify the power management comments by lokicat. I see exactly the same behaviour
2) Sound not working, but since i use a professional grade USB sound adapter, it is not an issue.
3) Ethernet works, but only at 100Mbps. I cannot get 1000Mbps to work. Anyone with a similar problem?

First Hackintosh attempt and I bit off a HUGE bite:

Asus X99 Deluxe / 5960X and GTX 980 SLI

I seem to be stuck at the same place that Samtimbaud is. Stuck at PCI Configuration. Have the patched kernel, and have tried all of the suggested flags.

Dealing with both the X99 Deluxe/5960X challenge and the GTX 980 challenge. I have the web drivers downloaded and ready to rock. Will be installing it to its own 1TB SSD.

Any suggestions on the best way / order to tackle both of these challenges simultaneously, I'm all ears!

Thanks in advance!

1000Gbit issue - what is the problem - does not work at all? Do you use AppleIntelE1000 driver from multibeast version >=3 ?

pciconfiguration - I had this issue but it was solved by npci=0x2000 or 0x3000 and also try PCIRootUID=0 or PCIRootUID=1

Run into black screen after OSX Installer.

Could manage to start the installer - ( patched kernel, voodokext 6-core, npci=0x2000 -f -v ).
Install.
Reboot.
Tried to start from disk (using USB to boot). Used several flags.

Black screen...hmpf

Actually your numbers seem correct for 2 reasons - Windows generally benches higher on graphics and Cinebench is not a good benchmark for graphics. Try Unigen Valley and you should see a closer gap, but Windows will be higher. In my experience, when a driver doesn't fully work in OSX, it's really bad and unusable.



Thanks for your input! It just seems weird because I got the same score on mac with à Gtx 760 so I'm thinking it might be something like: Osx doesnt utilize or recognize more than 2gb vram.

Can anyone with a gpu with more than 2gb vram test cinebench r15 and confirm this?

the witcher 2 also doesnt run better with gtx titan than with gtx 760.

How to:

Bios:
Disable (!) all in advanced/cpu config/cpu powermanagement
-Enhanced Speedstep
-Turbo
-CPUC

Maybe: Disable the WIFI (could not verify it )


NO Voodokext now.

installation: unibeast 5.0.1


Kernel Patch:
installation: sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3C|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3F|g' /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Kernels/kernel

Do NOT use second kernel patch or patch from the beginning of this thread.

Bootflag to installer (if you have kepler grafics, otherwise maybe use "nv_disable=1" too)
-v -x -f npci=0x2000 cpus=1

Run installer as recommended and install

Reboot

Do not use the new partition now : Run the usb installer again to install programm, goto terminal and copy the patched kernel again :

cp -R /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Kernels/kernel /Volumes/Yosemite/System/Library/Kernels/

Do not install again. If copy finished in terminal, reboot.

Now run the new partition (assume yosemite) on harddrive.
Use bootflags :
npci=0x2000 cpus=1

Post installation with multibeast for yosemite to get speed:

Multibeast-drivers-vodootscsync (choose your core)

Att: Copy the "Extra" folder from the usb to the root of the harddisk before using multibeast.
If you can not see it : goto terminal and type

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1 (press enter)
killall Finder (press enter)

if you want making all unseen :

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0 (press enter)
killall Finder (press enter)
