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

[mbax2zf2]

Hi @kgp,
I followed this guide and installed 10.13.5 on my X99 machine. Compare to the old mac pro 10.13.5, the system becomes more unstable that it will freeze randomly and have to install vega5Kfixup kext for radeon card to display correctly on hires monitor.
Also, I tried to using your SSDT for thunderbolt 3 and it makes my gc-alpine ridge behaviour in a strange way. The connection lost in 2 minutes after the system successfully start up and I can only have display on my LG Ultrafine 5K which means no sound no camera no usb connected to the monitor. This also effects the previous installed mac pro version. After that I cannot use any SSDT for tb3 including previous working one. Currently it can only working with no SSDT patch and no Thunberbolt USB support and Thunderbolt boot support enabled. Can you please help me with this problem?

How can I help you based on your above description? I am not a visionary..

Please try to provide a more detailed bug report.. actual system configuration, BIOS version?, BIOS settings, EFI-Folder, IOREG-save, PCI snapshot etc..

Cheers,

KGP

My X99 Hack following the KGP's guide is really stable and well working. I updated 10.13.5 to 10.13.6 a few days ago. I run my hack under non-OC condition now.
I also solved mis-assigned PCI slot number and HDAU issues for my Nvidia graphic card by referring the following site: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/ssdt-gpu-graphics-card-injection.183354/

IORegistry and the site help me to find my trial to solve above issues.

There is no error in my guide and I also did not fail in somthing else... Please change your tone if possible in any case...

The X99 Patch by Brumbaer is obsolete in my case and kernelxcpm is required for mainboards with unpatched BIOS firmware and locked MSR register, a detail well known to all of us. I don’t check it at all and xcpm just works fine..BTW, with locked MSR you might also need the xcpm core scope kernel patch.

Last but not least, I will not change anything in my guide.. everything is working fine for years and not only for me but also for many others..

Have a great day,

KGP

I am on the last bios version for my asus x99 deluxe, 3902, and my bios firmware is definitely patched. I still need KernelXCPM checked in order to enable xcpm. My bios settings are all the same in your tutorial, the only thing is that I have EIST enabled in my bios (It gives me a litte more performance, idk why).

I also know that my firmware is patched cuz without the patching of my bios, 0xE2 is locked.

Bellow are the dumps without and with KernelXCPM checked.

KernelXCPM not checked (not used)

There is definitely more behind KernelXCPM aside using it when bios in not patched, or there is for me and my asus x99 deluxe.

@hoeman You're welcome!

 

[kgp]

I am on the last bios version for my asus x99 deluxe, 3902, and my bios firmware is definitely patched. I still need KernelXCPM checked in order to enable xcpm. My bios settings are all the same in your tutorial, the only thing is that I have EIST enabled in my bios (It gives me a litte more performance, idk why).

I also know that my firmware is patched cuz without the patching of my bios, 0xE2 is locked.

Bellow are the dumps without and with KernelXCPM checked.

KernelXCPM not checked (not used)

There is definitely more behind KernelXCPM aside using it when bios in not patched, or there is for me and my asus x99 deluxe.

@hoeman You're welcome!

I obviously confused KernelXCPM with KernelPM... Up to my knowledge, KernelXCPM involves all available XCPM patches apart from the XCPM performance patch...

When you check KernelXCPM, which other XCPM patches are you explicitly involving in your config.plist?

I have now KernelXCPM and the performance patch checked! However, still no OC with Broadwell-E!

Utilization-, temp-, and power-pumps correspond to cinebench benchmark...

Aside KernelXCPM checked, the performance patch for working overclocking witch for me on haswell e it works on 10.13.6 (found out by @cfszs on insanelymac forum).

See edit of post #2184! Situation for 10.14 PB3! I introduced the performance patch provided by @PMheart already for 10.13.5.. There it fully applied also to Broadwell-E without checking KernelXCPM! It also worked with the performance patch for 10.13.6 PB1. It did not work with all subsequent 10.13.6 PB performance patches, as it does not work with the performance patch for 10.13.6 final release. At least for Broadwell-E!

 

[dMatik]

Something definitly changed in 10.13.6 and 10.14 kernels. I’m sure @okrasit and @PMheart are looking into it. There should not be any difference for oc performance between Haswell-E and Broadwell-E, yet, there is. Without KernelXCPM checked it does not enable xcpm for me on my sistem, no power management even with patched bios and plugin type checked in clover. Kernel XCPM checked enables xcpm on my system and Performance Patch makes is work on max performance. I will come back with news about 10.14 beta 3 soon

OC with the performance patch seems to work only for Haswell-E under both 10.13.6 and 10.14... Although I am afraid it does not apply to Broadwell-E.. In case of Broadwell-E it only worked for 10.13.5.. and believe me, @PMheart always provides me with the correct performance patch for each macOS build..

I believe you, for me first on 10.13.6 @PMheart performance patch wasn’t working. Next day @cfszs posted on insanely another performance patch for 10.13.6 based on @PMheart patch and that’s the patch that is working for me on 10.13.6

Something definitly changed in 10.13.6 and 10.14 kernels. I’m sure @okrasit and @PMheart are looking into it. There should not be any difference for oc performance between Haswell-E and Broadwell-E, yet, there is. Without KernelXCPM checked it does not enable xcpm for me on my sistem, no power management even with patched bios and plugin type checked in clover.

Certainly there was a significant change for Broadwell-E since 10.13.6 PB2.. While the performance patch for 10.13.5 and 10.13.6 PB1 perfectly worked for Broadwell-E under the respective macOS builds, the performance patches for all subsequent 10.13.6 PBs and also for the final release of 10.13.6 stopped working for Broadwell-E under the respective builds, while apparently they continued working for Haswell-E...

@PMheart does not know how to modify the performance patch for Broadwell-E.. Thus, if you believe there will be any solution for Broadwell-E, @okrasit will have to come up with it..

The same states for the 10.14 PBs..
