How to extend the iMac Pro to X99 [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hey all,

I followed this guide back in February to build my current x99 Hackintosh on 10.13.3. The guide has since changed dramatically and is no longer using the MacPro6,1 SMBIOS. Not sure how much this will effect my issue.

At some point over the last month, my Overclock stopped working in MacOS. It still works fine in Windows. I re-followed the steps in this Power Management section of this guide, as well as the 10.12 guide, and nothing seems to work. Recreated the SSDT with no luck. My BIOS settings are properly set - SpeedStep is off, Turbo Mode is on, Sync All Cores is on, etc.

Any ideas?

Seems you missed the last 500 posts..

1.) Update to BIOS 1901 Beta
2.) Update to 10.13.5
2.) Use xcpm performance patch for 10.13.5
3.) Think about changing to SMBIOS iMacPro

By this full you will achieve full CPU OC performance under 10.13.5.

Sad news at the same time: performance patch currently again not working with 10.13.6 PB5 and 10.14 PB1...

Ah, that seems strange. What is causing the problem? Is it just that the previous way of patching the xcpm was eventually unstable? Is there a specific post where you talk about this issue that I could educate myself with? My OC worked great before. I would prefer to update my system the least amount possible just to prevent various bugs that come up after updating.

OC stopped working long time before... If I correctly remember sometimes between 10.13.3 and 10.13.4..

Instead of asking further questions, read the updated guide and the last 500 posts.. :lol:;)

I already told you briefly the solution for OC with 10.13.5.

Enjoy and have fun,

WOW
I thought it was an April fool but no :cry:

I know that if you change there is a reason (or some)
May I ask you why this change?
As you know much better than all of us, tons of application on Mac OS X uses Cuda/OpenGL and still a 1080Ti has better score than a Vega 64 (12% more if I compare your score and mine)...
I thought to change too to AMD but clearly didnt cause dual boot and performances vs Vega

Also the 1180Ti is pretty close to be launched (6 months maybe)

maybe the fact to not have to deal with webdriver?

in any case :headbang::headbang::headbang:


Bye, Bye Nvidia...

Everybody happy with Nvidia can continue using their GPUs without any problem. I guess, everything is set within my guide to do so.

My main motivation and reason to change to Vegas is once more the lack of a functional Web Driver for Mojave Betas. Having at our disposal a half season Web Driver each year is not at all constructive or satisfactory and rather a nightmare and no-go for any guide and build development..

BTW.. looks like I won't stay with the Gigabyte Radeon RX Vega 64 Gaming OC 8GB either and finally go for the Sapphire Nitro+ RX Vega 64 8GB. ;)

Cheers,

Another TB Breakthrough....

These Slot-4 GB Alpine Ridge / ASUS TBEX 3 TB-SSDTs should really rock this time! :headbang:

For all ASUS mainboards: SSDT-X99-TB3-iMacPro.aml + SSDT-TB3-BR2A-XHC5-HPME.aml

Verified: TB-Hot Plug with the TB port of the TBEX 3 on the ASUS X99-A II with THB-C removed. Yet no XHC USB Hot Plug with removed THB-C (question of appropriate BIOS settings?).

Verified: XHC USB Hot Plug with the TBEX 3 on the ASUS X99-A II with THB-C connected. No TB Hot Plug with the TBEX 3 on the ASUS X99-A II with THB-C connected.

Verified: Both TB NHI and TB XHC USB3.1 PCI drivers permanently loaded and added to "PCI" of Apple's System Report.

Both TB/XHC USB3.1 ports should now be fully functional within the above limitations.. :thumbup:

Please verify and provide your feedback, guys!

@nmano, can you please adopt both files to your GB mobo? I guess, It is basically implementing the correct ACPI path and L02 instead of L69. I would directly add the adopted files to my guide subsequently .

Enjoy and have fun,

oh ok i understand now ;)
also interesting point that I saw is:
a Pascal with bios mod (XOC so no power limit): is not used as best as possible like on windows 10
i have GPU: 2120MHz
GDDR: 6458MHz
Voltage: 1100mV
on windows 10 and nothing like that on Mac os :(

BUT the radeon is interesting for the driver part as you said
but also under water the NITRO+ can reach 1700MHz and more than 1000 on memory easily with throttling
and with modded bios fully working under Mac OS
then more powerful (if OC and WC on Mac OS) than a 1080Ti which cannot be used

so it can be a Beast if you still want to go on water-cooling, better than a 1080Ti ;)

Apple just released 10.13.6

Clone your 10.13.5 system disk before performing the update to 10.13.6! You might loose once more all OC capabilities!
