Ok latest update is that I was able to get everything except Thunderbolt up and running. I am connecting an Apollo Twin via TB3 > TB2 adapter and system profiler says nothing is connected and UA console doesn't see device. Any assistance with this would be really appreciated as I am using this machine as my daily driver in my home studio and need thunderbolt for my interface.

Does the Twin work in Windows? Check that first before you try OSX. Did you activare the TB driver and update the TB firmware? This has to be done in Windows, no way around this.
Are we talkng about a Z97 system here? Is your sig up-to-date?

Are you using Clover? Under Devices in Configurator, tick the checkbox that says "UseIntelHDMI."

This does nothing for me.

Explain.

Any luck with the UAD Apollo>?

I have a Apollo Twin Duo up and running with a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor. I followed a bunch of guides and got there without much understanding of what exactly I was doing but if you have any specific questions I can share my config.plist and bios settings.

Performance and Temperatures
This new machine is suuuuper quiet and cool. Part of this is my fans. Part is the case. My idle temps average 25C. At load its mid 50Cs. With my 5.2Gz OC, idle temps are about the same because of the power management. Under load, hitting mid 60Cs which is damn good. When stress tested, temps maxed out at 78C. This is quite impressive in my view.

See my Geekbench 4 results (stock and OC) at the end.

Hey I may be doing something wrong but I cannot see any Geekbench images at the end. Super curious to see what you achieved!

I'm running an almost identical set up to yours except with a 1070 but I'm having a lot of performance issues. I'm only getting Geekbench single core scores of 5800 while getting 6500 while in windows. Whats more is that performance of any single threaded process within Adobe CC is much slower then what the benchmarks would account for.

Tried running the power management ktext but keep getting this permissions error:

failed to load - (libkern/kext) authentication failure (file ownership/permissions); check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).

Any thoughts on what I could be missing overall?

LGLGLGLG, please share your config.plist and BIOS settings! And list of your kexts, if you will. I've stuck to make my thunderbolt working. Only FireWire mode works, and it's very very unstable. Really need this to work, but in subject topic there is no clear explanation on how to do that. Thanks.

Please share your info. I got this Fatal1ty Gaming-iTX precisely for the TB3 port. want to use it with the Apogee Element...
thanks
