[stinga11]

In the new open sources kernel, Apple added support for Haswell-E but is only in the open sources kernel in the Vanilla kernel support is still absent.

Copied the files to the right paths and it worked OOTB. Thank you for sharing your files.

Update: Not sure if intentional, but the kext also works for Audio over DP. Works like a charm.

10.10.5 update went fine on my machine. FileNVRAM still giving me errors, but I'll get it sorted later. Simple as always - run Combo update on system drive from my CCC backup, patch kernel in place, then remove the FileNVRAM.kext. Booted straight up, I booted -v (verbose) just in case. However, replacing FileNVRAM.kext is causing a crash on startup. Will dig a bit deeper after work tonight.

Hi. Im trying to patch the kernel i used the same code as

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

However the output of terminal keeps saying

sh-3.2# sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3C|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3F|g' /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Kernels/kernel
Can't open /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Kernels/kernel: No such file or directory

any ideas?

In the new open sources kernel, Apple added support for Haswell-E but is only in the open sources kernel in the Vanilla kernel support is still absent.

So does this mean that sleep/wake and CPU power management work for Haswell-E if using the open source kernel?

i switched as you said on the motherboard:
TPU: “TPU_II: CPU BCLK and Ratio Boost"
EZ_XMP: enabled
SLI/XFire: set for 2 Crossfire cards
EPU: disabled
Over-voltage jumper: untouched

but the speedstep doesn't works. i stay without, it doesn't matter..

I'm new to the overclocking game. I've been using the Asus's EZ Tuning Wizard and clocked it to just shy of 3.8Ghz. However when I run GeekBench or Cinebench, it reports my processor as running at the native clock speed of 3GHz.




Is this because I have all the hardware switches at default?

From my reading, I am under the impression that it would be best for me to perform a CMOS rest before changing the setting for the hardware switches?

Also I have already saved my overclocking profiles onto a flash drive.. would it be a good idea (after performing the CMOS reset and changing settings on the hardware switches) to load my profiles back in?

Or should I start from the non-overclocked profile I initially used when loading OS X and redo my over clock settings thru EZ Tuning Wizard, since the changes wight he hardware switches will result in different voltages?

Edit: would I see any improvement chaning my system definition from Mac Pro 3,1 to 6,1?

My specs are: 5960X, Asus X99-A, 64GB Crucial 2400MHz and any thoughts, suggestions, comments, tips would be greatly appreicated!

Hey Guys,

i'm sitting here for 2 day's, trying to install Yosemite on my system. I tried the http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/155041-x99-uefi-clover-yosemite-mavericks.html and http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...motherboard-temporary-guide-os-x-10-10-a.html. No success. After Booting the Clover Bootloader, i'm getting a Black Screen with the white Apple with loading bar, without reaction and my system restarts.


Bootflags:
kext-dev-mode=1 npci=0x3000 nv_disable=1 and nvda_drv=1
and i tried many different combinations etc. ;-(
any one any idea ;-(

that's so sad. it looks like the it is impossible to get the MSI MPower X99 to run.

I have the MSI X99A SLI Plus and was successful using this guide, give it a try it might work for you.

Wrong Sudo Commands....

Correct Sudo Commands below:

Change out UniBeast for the name of your USB drive.
