use OSXAptioFixDrv.efi instead of OSXAptioFix3Drv.efi or AptioMemoryFix.efi, if AptioMemoryFix.efi does not work either...

Try to be a little bit imaginative...

Cheers,

I have tried AptioMemoryFix.efi and it works as long as I no longer have the problem that came up on the screen referring to the memory but I do not know how to solve this ....

Hello DSM2 and thanks for your help, then then and if I understood you correctly I should remove AptioMemoryFix.efi and not put any other?

Hello DSM2, what happens is that after those messages the pc turns off.

I'm going to do a clean installation but this happens

And in the folder if there are files that the terminal says not to find

Hello @kgp i would like to start out by first apologizing for my actions earlier in this thread. if it is alright with you i would like to start fresh in here.

Secondly, is the power reading right? if so thats incredible!

@shael : As soon as you start to overclock your CPU you have to turn off SSVID...
This Option only works against every overclocking setting you do.

Choose between IPG Power Compensation Wattages which are irrelevant or more CPU power!

Which is not completely true ... @shael, I just figured out that everything also works the same way with SSVID enabled...

Post #3971 also updated in corenspondence..

Lol, I saw your score in Geekbench, impressive. Did you ever look at the power consumption? The performance is nice, for sure, but it stands in no relation to power consumption. Your VRM Section is at Limit (I bet if you use all cores for a longer time, the cpu will be throttled because VRM section is too hot). Be sure you are cooling the VRMs too.

Thats why I choose a "less" OC value. I don't know the type of applications you use, but if they are the same as here (simulation, rendering, animation) you will get some troubles. ^^

I guess your cpu (yeah only cpu) will take about 500W or more.
But again, impressive score!!!

My VRMs are cooled by the EK ASUS CPU Mono-block! Everything water blocked.. Also VRMs!

Geekbench takes 260W at most..
