[SUCCESS] i9-9900K + Asus Z390-I Gaming + RX 5700 XT 100%

[mattew82]

@lele90 thank you! Your EFI is the only that works for me.
I have an Asus Apex XI Z390 with latest bios, i9-9900K 3,6@4,8mhz on all cores, 16gb Patriot DDR4 4400@4600mhz C18, Powercolor 5700XT Liquid Devil and 3x Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1Tb.
I only miss onboard intel wlan/bt 5.0 and my Soundblaster Creative AE-7.
Thank you again.

Is this possible changing the board to a Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ULTRA-CF and interl core I7 9700k ? May you link the guide you follow in order to do this please

Very strange, I've got almost EVERY piece of hardware like you @lele90 and my GeekBench is way below yours.

I even made a post about this here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/i9-9900k-asus-z390-i-gaming-rx-5600-xt-poor-performance.297397/

What's the possible reason for this ?

I tried and played with your and ModMike's EFIs and now I'm on his OpenCore one, there's like 5% improvement on OC over Clover but nothing in the range of 30k score for multithreading.

Very odd.

No, really, that's plain stupid, I wasted a few hours on this today.

I had no idea about this difference between Geekbench 4 and 5 ...


Oh man . Thanks @mattew82 !

No problem.
In any case, if this can help, under Geekbench 5.x with my i9-9900k overclocked @ 4.8GHz, I score 1265 on single core and 9010 on multi. Using Clover and OC, too.
Instead, if you have a RX 5700 XT, I suggest you to use Radeon Boost kext because it improves of 30% the benchmarks with OpenGL and Metal.

Thanks @mattew82 !

I'm using Radeon Boost Kext and a SSDT for 5700XT (which is compatible with 5600XT) and my compute metal score is 54106.

I still get random restarts - have to investigate today end of work day.

@lele90 Which @ModMike's EFI folder had you used for your installation?

 

[Rarskies]

Are you using iMac or iMac Pro SMBIOS?

Super late here but its an iMac (not pro) iMac18,3

 

[impoundcity]

I just updated to 10.15.5. THe update seemed to go well. UI came up.

I did an update of Java.

I rebooted and now have a black screen.

Gets all the way through Apple logo, and then appears to be switching to full Graphics UI, you know where the screen goes blank for a second or two, and then nothing.

Any suggestions? Why am I posting here? Because I have a H210i chassis and Asus Z390-I Gaming with RX580 from Sapphire.
