How to build your own iMac Pro [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

[kgp]

Thank you for your reply, I will try with the following and update:-

1) Will use the latest EFI Distribution

2) Will use the latest SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml

3) Will use the latest SSDT-X299-TB3-iMacPro-KGP.aml

4) What Kext patch have I missed out?
IOAHCIBlockStorage - Disabled Due to slow boot times with APFS
AppleUSBXHCI - Enabled
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDKeyboard - Disabled by default
com.apple.driver.AppleHIDKeyboard- Disabled by default
com.apple.driver.AppleHDAController - Enabled.
AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion - Deleted as I don't use a 10G Nic

5) Will use latest Clover version

6) Kexts outdated and incomplete - In addition to the kext already present in EFI/Clover/kexts/other - I have only added the latest Lilu.kext 1.2.3 & AppleALC.kext 1.2.7 as mentioned in your guide with proper AUDIO ID 7. Other than those I've added latest HWSensors (ACPISensors.kext, CPUSensors.kext,GPUSensors.kext,LPCSensors.kext) and SmallTree-Intel-211-AT-PCIe-GBE.kext all latest from your original post.

Im sorry for the long post just want to understand where Im going wrong.

Please complete and use my latest EFI-Folder distribution and follow my actual guidelines.

Good luck,

KGP

Hi @kgp
This guide really rocks!

I has successfully built a X299 Hackintosh, i7-7820X, ASUS GTX 1080 (iMacPro 10.13.5), following your indications step by step. I removed the DefintionBlock entry and the PCI Device Implementation for the Wifi+Bluetooth hardware and the 10Gbit NIC and everything is fine.

I just wanna share a very strange situation

I had the a trouble with video (no signal, tv grain) when system is waking up from sleep (the rest was ok because I could hear and change the music). I used the last nvidia web drivers (no patched) and NvidiaGraphicsFixup and Lilu kexts but the same result. I changed the video cable from HDMI port to DisplayPort and the problem was aparently solved.

What do you think about it?

(sorry for my english)

If you have a defined range of
00 00 00 00
to
FF FF FF FF,
what then corresponds to the value "-1"?
-1 = FF FF FF FF

For your Nvidia enter a "4" and well ...

Ok I changed it to 4 and installed it. Here's my result in IOReg.

How would I go about testing to make sure it's actually working properly?

I got the CPUs in order, for my 7900x at least I hope so. See Image attached.
I am now using the new Thunderbolt aml files. With the old "all in one" aml from KGP Thunderbolt devices were showing correctly in System Information. Thunderbolt Card is in Slot-4, Mainboard is Asus Prime x299, all bios settings like KGP suggested.
Any ideas?

Thank you.

I've just successfully added the missing "Device (EC)" to a "Gigabyte x299 Ultra Gaming". Runs perfectly. For those who have a motherboard from Gigabyte, here is an SSDT:

Based on my IOReg (pictured below) could someone tell me if my CPxx to PRxx replacements look right? The order of the CPxx entries in my IOReg are different than what is shown in the guide, so I rearranged and renumbered accordingly. Is it right?

Hmm.. strange.. I am sure @apfelnico will answer on that... and why you didn’t try Bluetooth yet?

Couldn’t handle the low gpu performance since it’s a workstation but I’ll give it a shot again this weekend for Bluetooth.

 

[izo1]

Did you guys see this?

https://www.techpowerup.com/245090/intel-readying-22-core-lga2066-and-8-core-lga1151-processors



22 core coming to X299 soon. Might be my next upgrade. Easy swap.

Ok I changed it to 4 and installed it. Here's my result in IOReg.

When you changed the Heuristic ID to 4 why it appears as "ff ff ff" in IOREG?

 

[Loloflatsix]

"AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext" is unchanged, plus the "AGPMEnabler.kext" in Clover.
Inspired by the iMacPro and Toleda, actually no big deal.
No "device-id", no "vendor-id", just graphics card is "GFX0" in "Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94" (iMac Pro).

@flmmkr , @x-9er ,

just use the kext of @apfelnico as implemented! It works OoB also with Nvidia!

Thanks works well with RX580.
