I'm running a 7980XE on a sage on bios 0502 non patched with TSCAdjust.kext.

I'm running a 7980XE on a sage on bios 0502 non patched with TSCAdjust.kext.

Can you guide me on this please? I have same Bios 0502 non patched, because i don't know how to do it. But, you got working without patch. Now, how did you applied the TSCAdjust.kext?

I have the installation stick, but only stays on the apple logo when i load it.

My 1080 ti is on the first slot and nvme on the bottom port.

BTW, everything working on your system?

Are you able to install mac OS or is the apple screen after installing? I just followed the BIOS settings in section B.2 except change MSR Lock Control to Disabled since we aren't running a patched BIOS. Section C.7 for TSCAdjust.kext.

Yep it's running pretty smooth. I'm still working on adapting the SSDT for the Sage though.

For the TSCAdjust.kext, I need to do it on a separate mac and onto the usb stick??

Yep on your mac OS Installer USB in the EFI partition. under /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/

I just disable MSR Lock Control and system is stuck on Apple logo.

I use -X -V and now this is my screen
