Hi guys, got some things to clarify if you dont mind. The guide has been solid and very educational, and i am really grateful for that.
Specs: X299-D, i9-7900X water cooled with a corsair, GTX 1050, 128GB DDR4 3200mhz G.Skill Trident, Samsung 960 NVMe 512gb, 1TB Sata SSD, 4TB HDD and TBEX 3 on exactly the same case as OP.
Issues:
- A slight tilt, shake on the case results to a complete freeze of the system, even on BIOS. Sounds like a short-circuit to me especially considering that this is by far the most complicated and sophisticated system i've ever built. I havent had a short-circuit in decades, but i remember them to be disastrous, while here a simple cold-start brings everything back to normal.
- Randomly, i am getting a Code CC hang and never makes it past the POST. Another cold-start gets rid of it.
- TBEX 3 wont work atm. initially, before going for the macOS setup, i did the windows routine, but i did also neglectfully ignored the fact that Windows must be there permanently. I got rid of it and in the meantime my BIOS went havoc which made me reset, in fact, i used the opportunity and flashed the 1503 with the iMac Pro splash, and then reflashed again since downgrading and re-flashing seem to make a big difference on these boards that seem to forget the configs (or something like that).
As i stand, the system complies to KGP recommendations, with the CPU differences and everything. It boots up perfectly and all patches activated. TP is a must. Is Windows fundamental at this point? if yes, does it actually need another OSX reinstall?
Since i am not having deeper issues, i assumed it's ok not to include all the required files for support, my apologies if i assumed wrong. my questions are more community oriented, with 1. and 2. i think something may've passed in front of me and it really is annoying the soul out.
Thanks a lot guys and thanks OP for the amazing beast.
