The Perfect Customac-Pro: X99-A II, i7-6950X, 128GB G.Skill TridentZ, Aorus GTX 1080 TI Xtreme

I did a lot of research over the issue over the weekend. Unfortunately at the moment I don't remember the exact link for it that I found this tidbit of information but it works. I'm not an expert so it could be it is a different problem on your machine. However this was the change I did and it worked. I used the kext wizard program from the tonymac downloads to install the kexts.

To keep you from having to search for the files I have attached them.

Thanks, that's very kind of you.
So I tried your config.plist and ran in the same issue as always. Then I used KextWizard to install those two kexts to S/L/E and still no change. It's so frustrating, it's like a curse.
But still, thanks for your approach!

I have two 4K screens, LG 27UD69-W & LG 27UD58-B, scaling works like a charm.
Scale to 2560x1440, perfect results here.

Thanks for your post. Thats Sounds good.

But: Is this only working because your using a LG Displays witch are confirmed to work with Apple offical? This is writen on the LG Page under Specs: "WORKS WITH MAC" I don´t now, maybe the OS is looking for the Display: "Oh its an LG Confirmed, I put scaling on." What is with: Benq Asus Eizo 4K Display etc. LG and Apple are connected (UltraFine5K.

I just ask for the ultimative Case

Do you think it will be the same, dosen´t matter witch Brand I use? (Displayport 1.4 GTX 1070 or 1080)

I did various tests after Hacken's success.

Kgp and following the completion of the procedure, a strange high frequency sound was produced. I want to know if there is a solution in this part. I want to know precisely whether there is a power problem.

I end up removing PMDrvr.kext and disabling EIST 3 days ago. I had a very hardcore CPU/GPU intensive 3 working days without PMDrvr.kext and there was NO reboot or panic AT ALL. So, the issue is in PMDrvr.kext. But with this kext, CPU load graphs is more gentle. So, does anybody knows if there any updates for this kext? Or it is not under development for now on?

Right now I have three problems left:
. Can't enable HT, is there anyone use E5 26XX v3 or v4 with HT enabled? I can't boot with HT enabled. Any trick?
-> Will try to hack the BIOS then I will never try and ask to enable HT anymore.

. When I connect two 4K screen (DP + HDMI), system boots into black screen, if I remove one (either DP or HDMI) and after boot into system and reconnect the screen, everything works well.
-> Still need to unplug one screen to successfully boot into GUI.

. Random crashes, it's rare, but happens.
-> After disable PMDrvr.kext, the system is stable and no crashes one day lasted.

. After hack the bios, I meet another problem, Intel USB chip does not work inside macOS (it's okay before macOS boots), even after I restore the bios, I need to plug into asmedia usb to enable keyboard and mouse. It's bad, but still okay to use the system, will find some time to fix it, maybe regenerate dtst & ssdt or try something else.

To do so, you have to choose some other plist-file from the drop-list

Please choose the desired plist for your hardware (Exit/1-41) ?
like e.g.

Code (Text):
[ 35 ] Mac-DB15BD556843C820.plist (iMac17,1)
which does have well defined frequencies.
Anyway, the number is returned as 0?

I wonder if there is another way I do not know how? Could you explain it easily? Are you sure you want to run it in terminal?

I just wanted to give a major thanks to kgp and the tonymacx community for this amazing tutorial. I got Sierra to work on my build (Asus X99 AII, i7 6800k, GTX 1080, apple Broadcom wifi card) without too many issues.

I got an error, when I try and boot Mac OS after installing, I get error allocating 0x11c20 pages @ 0x00000000037f2000 alloc type 2 . I followed the instructions, and I have the same exact build as you. Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this?
