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

A soldered 99xx Skylake-X will never reach the thermal properties of a properly delidded 79xx.. we had this discussion a few times already, my friend. Of course one looses warranty by the delidding process.

I read your post before I purchased the processor
I did not believe that I would reach 4.5GHz at reasonable degrees

In any case the warranty is important to me and I would not delidded so....

maybe I won the processors' lottery (the first time in my life )

I think I can also reach 4.6GHz and still be in the safe zone

The 99xx Skylake-X are soldered...the 79xx use crappy TIM.

Also I hate Linus. There’s way better resources out there.

I have not found quality information on X299 OverClock
And I had a serious problem ... I got to the 110 degree area
And I bought the computer for Video Editing work... I've working on it for 18 hours a day
And the computer did not rest when I did

Linus information this time was essential!
He helped me reach exactly where I wanted to go
Also fast performance in editing multiCam Edit
And keep temperatures low ...

Try ... maybe it will work!

Undervolting the CPU is a very well known and valid approach to minimise CPU temps under any OS. Absolutely nothing against from my side.

do not get me wrong!

Even before your purchase, I've reviewed this post and comments
I appreciate your work very much!

In the State of Israel, there is not much choice when it comes to expensive hardware. That's why I did not purchase a motherboard like yours. For example, it would be easier for me

When I bought it, I knew That the processor will not reach 7980xe performance ... but I was surprised

I am not surprised about your scores and I don't get you wrong at all. I truly appreciate your contribution! I also don't think that it is basically a question of the motherboard but rather a question of the OC fine tuning and of course also involved custom water blocking. @DSM2 even reached 50.000 scores running the i9-7900X @4.8Ghz long time ago. I don't know if you have also seen his respective posts. In any case it would be still difficult to compare an i9-7980X with an i9-7900X after applying the same OC fine tuning and by also employing an appropriate custom water blocking, admitted wise at much higher costs. Even with my truly not optimised i9-7980X, I gained 72.000 scores in Geekbench at quite reasonable temps. Finally, it also always depends on the the specific CPU sample in use. However, what you guys reach with the i9-7900X at relatively low costs is absolutely amazing and likely more than sufficient for most users! Moreover as you use an undelidded CPU, which again makes a remarkable difference to @DSM2's and my own results...

The first CPU I used was i9-9820X, but during the macOS installation, I' ve encounter a kernel panic problem, which was discussed in the i9 9820X kernel panic on install thread. Later, I switched i9-9820X to i9-9940X and successfully installed macOS 10.14.2 without the KP problem.

Hi @AsEvil, nice to hear that your system is running.
Can you share perhaps your bios-profile-file (*.cmo) file ?
It's your bios 0210 or 0404 ?

Thanks

What temperatures do you have in idle?
Comparing your scores with mine, with a similar system ...
Radiator is EK-CoolStream PE 360 with 3x Corsair ML120 fans

Geekbench 4.3.3 is the latest version:

Hi @kgp i have question why you change this line of code

Method (_RMV, 0, NotSerialized)  // _RMV: Removal Status
{
    Return (Zero)
}

vs original

Method (_RMV, 0, NotSerialized)  // _RMV: Removal Status
{
    If (OSDW)
    {
        Return (One)
    }

    Return (Zero)
}

How it's affects?

The OSDW implementation never seemed to work on Hackintosh systems despite all our efforts.

So which mod deleted my last post?

This is why I will no longer come here.
