X58 and OS X El Capitan? (X58A-UD3r)

[robertolagreca]

I just ordered this card. Lets hope that it works in my system. It would be nice to have working USB 3.0 pots for once.

ORICO works great as well!!!!

Someone who has the fully working system should really post a step-by-step guide if they have a chance. Appreciation would be immense.

As it is now, it seems a few folks have used a few different methods, drawing on piecemeal information from here and there (and some using methods we can't discuss here I believe), but we don't have all the information in a single, easy to follow place.

Still not able to get the shutdown to work here, it works 1 time out of 5

I have the EX58-Extreme and it's working perfectly, except for the sound, which I can't install because of this error.

Shutdown, reboot are all working fine.

Update I upgraded my cloned drive to El Cap, and had a little trouble booting it. Clover hadn't installed correctly (or maybe i didn't install it correctly ) So I mounted the EFI on my El Cap drive and placed a copy of Unibeasts USB EFI folder on it. It then booted.

I've now got a couple of issues
1) USB not always working for keyboard/mouse etc(Power Issue?) cause unplugging my mouse from the mac keyboard and trying the same usb slot, it works for the mouse.
2) CPU not showing the correct Bus Freq (cosmetic I think)
3) GPU reporting the wrong slot (Cosmetic, but my dsdt is saying Slot-1 and System Overview is saying slot-0)
4) Memory slots showing as Dimm1 to Dimm6. Yosemite shows these as Banks0/1/A0 to Banks10/11/A5 (Don't know which is correct but they work so Cosmetic again) I used Clover Configurator and selected XMPDetection=Yes this now shows the correct memory Freq/DDR3 etc.
5) Restart hangs sometimes, possibly the same for shutdown.

As long as my external harddrives are plugged in before boot, then they work. I use a USB3 card which shows as USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Bus in Yosemite but under EL Cap its just USB3 it doesn't run at USB 3 speeds either. The drivers used are different.
ElCap uses Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBXHCIFL1100 and Yosemite uses Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBXHCI.

My dsdt only contains two extra settings 1) The GPU has been added 2) The Processor has also been added. Otherwise its the standard ga-x58a-oc from this site.

What has surprised me is that my Geekbench score has went up 400 points under El Cap to 10646. Yosemite was around 10200.

If I can get usb working correctly then I will upgrade my Yosemite drive but for now this was just a test to see how far I'm off from having a fully working system.

Sound?

I got it:

Download Clover Configurator on yosemite, then select the USB -> EFI -> CLOVER -> config.plist file
under ACPI, select these settings.

Running El Cap now almost perfectly with these settings.
I'm pretty new with Clover, so no doubt i'll have to reinstall it a couple of times more after i'm done playing around with some kexts and settings.


Board: EX58-UD5
CPU: i7 930
GPU: GTX670

thanks to audioguyjosh for the original settings

How did you get the audio working?

How did you get the audio working?

I use HDMI Sound so I can get 7.1 surround from my amp. My dsdt has the edits.

I also used the script in the Guide to get normal onboard recognised. It worked for me.

No. All my ports are functioning as USB 2.0. I'm okay with that. As long as the system is up and running, I don't mind. I did order the USB 3.0 card so will test it out once it arrives.

Hi CyCloBoT. what was the card that you ordered? I have a 4 port USB 3.0 PCI Express VIA VL805. but it just works with Yosemite.


Sorry i read the answer "Inatek KT4006 (FL1100)" Thanks anyway Where do you bought it?

Thanks in Advance!
