Only one core seems to work x99 Xeon E5-2686v3

[paulkol]

Hello, I recently build the X99 xeon e5-2686v3 18 core hackintosh using Sierra.
I can boot, my GTX960 works fine (acceleration is working as expected) but I think that only one core is working.
In system report I see 18 core CPU but on my Geekbench I have 2020 single and 2040 multi core. I did set VoodooTCSync.kext as 35 cores and now I'm out of ideas.
Thanks for any input from more experienced hack builders. Thanks!

I found out it was cpus=1 flag. I was in impression that flags is there to set single or double CPU setup... it is working now. I just have randomly booting error before those ++++++++++++ even appear. It is like 1 of every 5 boots does that error (prohibited sing before anything shows up on -v mode)
Hopefully will fix that one.

Are you already using the edited OsxAptioFixDrv from https://nickwoodhams.com/x99-hackintosh-osxaptiofixdrv-allocaterelocblock-error-update/?
It's required for the most X99 setups as there are some memory allocation problems.

Yes, I'm using that fix. IT helped to boot up 100% without error right before ++++++++++++++++

Also Figured out the sleep/wake and now it is working 100%
Only thing I never made work are audio on board ALC1150 and USB 2.0, but BT is working (connected to internal USB 3.0 on PCI-e USB 3.0 card)
So everything works for me now... don't need usb 2.0 for now and audio - I don't use it (only BT anyways and will add USB audio card later on)
