So far so good with my ASUS X99 Deluxe Installation (Using Clover)
My build:
ASUS X99 Deluxe Motherboard BIOS Ver.
1004 <--
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! Couldn't get into non USB Bootloader without it!
Intel Core i7 5930k CPU
Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 4GB GPU
Crucial DDR4 16GB 2133Mhz RAM
Current State:
Everything seems to be working just fine with my build EXCEPT:
AUDIO and SLOW NETWORK
AUDIO: OS X Yosemite has detected my built-in audio just fine. However, once the built-in audio output has been selected, ANY audio source will refuse to play, USB Audio work fine though. Any help with this is greatly appreciated! I'd love to use my speakers!
SLOW NETWORK: Network is working! However, The network connectivity, more specifically, upload speed, is much slower and Google in particular has been awfully slow. I think I remember seeing a post in here about slow network connectivity (Upload Speed) and how to fix it, but I did not have AppleIntelE1000e.kext in S/L/E or in /EFI/CLOVER/KEXTS/10.10. I'm about to install it and test the fix.
Other than those two things, everything works fine for me! I even personalized it and rebooted and all went well.
MY PROCEDURE:
Before I go onto this, I tried Chameleon/Chimera and it DID NOT WORK, some people are more fortunate than I was and managed to get it to work with Chameleon/Chimera, ASUS X99 Motherboards apparently doesn't like it. I managed to get into the OS X Install via Installer USB, however, and installed bootloader on the OS X Install drive would not boot, Got errors involving USB or something like that, I can't quite remember. I made the Unibeast USB and everything, and I did not want to remake a Clover USB so I did the following and it worked with flying colors:
1. Created Unibeast USB, Installed VoodooTSCSync.kext (6-core) to /Extra/Extensions/ on the Unibeast USB and patched the Kernel using this terminal code:
Code:
[COLOR=#000000]sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3C|\x74\x11\x83\xF8\x3F|g' /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Kernels/kernel[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR=#000000]sudo perl -pi -e 's|\xEB\x0A\x83\xF8\x3A|\xEB\x0A\x83\xF8\x3F|g' /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Kernels/kernel[/COLOR]
2. Install as normal using Unibeast USB, booted using only: npci=0x2000. The rest of the flags are taken care of by the Unibeast USB.
3. Booted back into Unibeast USB and Back into OS X Installer, using the same flag: npci-0x2000
4. Copied the Kernel over to the OS X installation using this terminal code (Assuming "USB" is the name of your Installer and "Yosemite" is the name of your OS X install drive):
Code:
cp -R /Volumes/"USB"/System/Library/Kernels/kernel /Volumes/"Yosemite"/System/Library/Kernels/
5. Booted into Yosemite Install using the Unibeast USB. Finished OS X setup and everything.
6. Installed Clover using standard UEFI settings and copied over VoodooTSCSync.kext to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10 (Create the Folder "10.10" if it's not there, or put it in the "Other" folder, either way works.)
7. Added "npci=0x2000" and "kext-dev-mode=1" to config.plist
8. Used "Clover Configurator" () to set up SMBios for MacPro6,1 setting.
9. Rebooted into UEFI Clover (MAKE SURE TO DISABLE SECURE BOOT! Change "Windows UEFI" to "Other OS" in Secure Boot settings in BIOS.) and booted into OS X Yosemite, if you did everything correctly, should boot without a hitch.
If everything worked, congratulations! You now have a semi-working OS X Yosemite install on ASUS X99 Deluxe. I'm fairly certain that this procedure would work with a Clover installation USB instead of Unibeast USB, but I was lazy and I didn't want to remake the installation USB.
Good luck!
