Correct! You'll need to save and reboot after for it to take.

@NorthAmTransAm your opencore latest version can disable E-core? mine is 12700f also can?​

You need to go to Bios and travel to Overclocking/Advanced_CPU_Configuration.

There you should change Per E-Core Control to Enabled or Disable All.

Excuse me if its not exactly worded that way but you'll get the picture once there.

oic... actually i googled from BIOS can disable all P-core or E-core only for intel K cpu.... other non K cpu must at leave active min 1cpu either E-core or P-core. bc im is non k cpu , flashed many BIOS & beta bios also cant disable All E-core

Oh wow, that's pretty strange.

@etorix, I'm always paging you--hope you don't mind, you're just so dang knowledgable on Alder Lake. Are you familiar with how to go about disabling E-Cores by adjusting SSDT-PLUG-ALT? Is it as simple as removing everything from 16 on?

Fyi the non k CPU bios , it different from you

I believe you! Looking for the SSDT solution now.

Check out the orientation of my cards in the photo on post 1. GPU, Fenvi, GC-Titan, UAD.

Correct, the board comes with a header but no onboard Thunderbolt. What I recommend and can help you with is to buy a GC-Titan 2.0 card and flash it using NV33. From there we will avoid using the header and will jumper Pins 3 and 5 of the GC-Titans header.

Here's the guide to use for flashing.

Can you elaborate a little more about which ones were giving you problems, thx! This was mostly me doing CYA as I didn't want to claim that everything worked since I haven't tested them all just yet. The ones that I use the most all appear to be working, which largely come from: -...

And here is the repository of patched firmware. I used NV33 (typically for onboard gigabyte Titan Ridge) for my GC-Titan 2.0 card.

Yes, have run Kext Utility didn't fix Didn't get to the bootable backup section yet. Yes, can boot into recovery. Did you also update Clover when you updated Lilu and WhateverGreen? Do you still have the USB install disk? (This was used to install macOS.)

Hello, my Titan arrives Monday, and I am preparing in advance to do the flash. From what you say you took this NV33? Isn't it for a chipset integrated into the motherboard? I want to be sure to get the right ROM...

Yeah it seems weird but it was advised this way to me by @CaseySJ. It's what I'm using now and it's been a great experience.

Try replacing SSDT-PLUG-ALT with the attached SSDT-PLUG-ALT-8P. Make sure you have a back up of your EFI somewhere.
