iMac Pro X299 - Live the Future now with macOS 10.14 Mojave [Successful Build/Extended Guide]

@applemacosxGOD:

maybe you have the possibility to compare my cpu data (report CPU-Z from Win10) with theirs ?

 

[izo1]

Thank you for your reply !
1. I wipe my usb fashdrive and the SSD completely with Windows
2. Create an new USB stick with "createInstaller-10.14.3.sh" like @kgp from first page without problems
3. Customised clover.plist (SN and SmUUID)
4. Boot my system from all USB-Ports (2.0, 3.1, 3.0) and:

Absolute same KP.

I Think I'm going crazy...

Thank You for your patience!

What brand NVMe are you using for macOS?

Also which slot is it in?

Can you try another SSD?

Also make sure 4G encoding is ON or else it won’t boot.

it seems hardware related on your end.

NVMe is EVO 970 1 TB. Is empty and absolute fresh (the same for Win10 running perfect). I will not be there until then (I boot clover from USB. CloverMainscreen. Start EFI MacOSPartition. KP after one second and finito/end.

Win 10 in Slot M2_3.
The empty NVMe is in Slot M2_1.

4G is ON (OFF stops the boot wich d4-q-code).

I also think, but: wich hardware?
I've only a Mainboard, CPU, GPU, 2 x NVMe - that's all.

Are there different versions of the board or cpu ?

Win10 without any errors.

Have you tried booting without the Windows NVMe installed, only the macOS one?

Also your quad channel RAM is installed wrong.

You need to use
B1 + A1 (on the left of CPU socket)
C1 + D1 (on the right of CPU socket)
This is stated in the manual.

There is only 1 version of this board and you have the latest BIOS.

CPU shouldn’t be a problem as another user has no problem with same mobo and cpu combo.

I am a bit extreme when it comes to troubleshooting and I would even reseat the CPU if you are willing. You don’t have to reapply the thermal paste, just remove cooler and cpu then reseat both.

In past systems even cpu reseating has helped me. But only do it as a last resort.

Yes, the beginning with only Mac NVMe. After info from @kgp I have both NVMe inside. Same KP before and after.

Sorry, it's was my failure: all 4 RAM was in correct Slots - my jpeg is wrong.

Can you try a minimal amount of RAM for now?

I know the KP is not RAM related but it’s worth a try.

If someone can help me :
I am currently working on the installation of my Asus TB EX3 on my Prime X299 Deluxe build, the most accessible pci slot is PCIEX16_2, since I have 2 RX VEGA 56 ( one in the PCIEX16_1 and the other in PCIEX16_3 ), is there any restriction if I put the TB EX3 in this PCI slot ?

Shouldn’t be an issue. There’s plenty of PCIe lanes on X299 cpus (unless you’re using the Kaby Lake 4 cores, which no one is haha)

As @kgp stated, it’s also worth clearing CMOS and redoing the BIOS settings again.

I have 4 x 16 GB Kit Crucial Dominator Platinum DDR4 3200 C16. I test my system with 1x 16Gb (Slot C1) - 2 x 16 GB (Slot A1 and C1) - same KP.

I have clearing CMOS

1. with button on the Board and
2. with Power down, battery remove - in both cases same KP.

I hope and think is a simply error/mistake/failure, but I (we) don't find it.

Hmm I’m out of ideas. It’s definitely hardware related but I’m not sure since Windows seems to boot fine.

What code does mobo say when the KP happens?
