DexterOX's Build

SMBIOS: iMacPro1.1 Default / iMac19.1 (Secondary)
CASE: ENTHOO EVOLV X GLASS
I decided to modify the front and create the Apple logo, which changes color according to the RGB configuration, I had to do it manually, unfortunately where I live nobody has a laser machine that makes a perfect Logo cut.

PSU: Corsair AX1500i

RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinium 16GB

NVMe: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB (macOS) / Samsung 960 Pro 512GB (Widows 10 Pro)

Cooler: Corsair H150i PRO RGB 360mm

Motherboard: Asus Maximus XI Hero (WIFI) with BIOS ( 1401 )

CPU: 9900k

iMac19.1
Results obtained using SMBIOS iMac19.1

Everything works perfect, the only problem is the DRM (iTunes, Netflix, HBO, TV), there must be a way, when I have time I will investigate how to repair this.

Geekbench 5

How did you configure iGPU in bios and in config.plist? Can you show config.plist (without serial numbers of course)?

 

[DexterOX]

I don't have any extra settings in my config.plist to enable iGPU

are you using HDMI or display port?

I am using DisplayPort, but my HDMI ports work correctly.
In my EFI folder I attach a DualUSBPorts.kext that contains the port map for SMBIOS iMac19.1 and iMacPro1.1, if you use USBInjectAll.kext and an SSDT_USB.aml you don't need a DualUSBPorts.kext (Also remember that this is designed for me motherboard, may not do it for you)

Would you mind posting any BIOS modifications you've made?

Just out of curiosity will you be using premiere an or after effects? I had absolutely horrible results running either.
would you mind running Puget systems benchmark for AE (if you’re using it of course) https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/PugetBench-for-After-Effects-1287/

Hi I've just purchased Asus Maximus XI Hero, with i9900k Processor, RADEON RX 580 GAMING REV2 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-EXPRESS GRAPHICS CARD, Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (32GB). Is possible to send over you bios config.
