[Guide] Mac OSX 10.12 and 10.13 with X99 Broadwell-E family and Haswell-E family

PMheart · March 18, 2017

Just a warning, if and when you upgrade to 10.13, some of your DSDT injected devices (like USBs) may not work (due to broken config patches). I highly recommend looking into Rehabman's USBInjectAll+SSDT-UAIC.aml to eliminate the USB port limit patch (as Rehabman states, it should only be a temporary solution -- as of now, you're injecting all 30 ports and may only be using half or less).

Please also note that USBInjectAll may be broken under 10.13... IMHO creating a proper USB injector is all.

Usually when it stops there it's a CPU issue (not always).

I suggest starting from scratch and not using someone else's EFI folder. Do me a favor and install the latest clover: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/

In EFI->CLOVER->Drivers64 -- Replace OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi with this 20000_OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi.zip or with this: OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi

!!!Only use one, not both!!!

Create a new config.plist...

In config.plist, under Boot, boot arguments, check:

- verbose (-v)

- npci=0x3000

- nv_disable=1

In config.plist, under Graphics:

- Inject nvidia => checked

In config.plist, under KernelAndKextsToPatch:

And you'll want to add Voodootsync, FakeSMC and IntelMausiEthernet to your EFI->CLOVER->kexts->10.12 folder...

Note: This removes a lot of functionality, but we'll work our way to a better hack in small steps!

If you're still having problems, when at the Clover boot screen (not loading up the OS), dump your ACPI tables (press F4 then wait 5 seconds). Then you're going to need to mount the drive and grab the entire EFI folder and paste it here.

Hello Mfc88!

At this stage I have success! Thank you very much for that! System booted up, but USB 2.0 ports on back and 2 USB 3.0 on front are stop working. Now just 4 USB 3.0 ports on back working. Anyway I successfully installed OS, installed clover and can booted up from hard drive.

Could you please navigate me again, what I have to do after installation, to get full functionality?

Thanks!

Send me EFI with ACPI tables dumped (before you boot into your OS drive, press F4 while at Clover screen, wait 4 seconds, then boot into drive and retrieve entire EFI folder) plus attach an IOReg v2.1 file (simply open IOReg and click "Save as..." and save the file to your Desktop -- add this with EFI folder, compress then upload).

Why you need DTGP anyway if you can return to your device properties directly...

This.

But on a related note, this is a great discussion! Two different ways to inject ACPI tables (with several different methods), but ALL with the same result. However, when I program anything, I try avoid having anything over 100-200 lines of code per file (depending on the project). Otherwise, it's a pain to debug... find bugs/errors quickly.

As for DSDT vs SSDT: With the exception of graphics recognition, where a SSDT doesn't have the 30 second delay for GPU recognition nor does it need any patches to make it recognize quicker, I haven't found SSDT nor DSDT to be "faster", but rather the same. HOWEVER, I did find it faster to "debug" the SSDT over the DSDT, since there is much less code to sift through.

This should be a place where people help other people and where everyone should write their opinions/suggestions without being judged! But i see that it's not so!!

Here's what you'll need to do:

- Boot in to the OS (with current configuration)

- Mount your harddrive that has Mac OS installed on it via Clover Configurator, and then click "Open Partition"

- Download the attached Alcher67-CLOVER.zip file, unzip it, then paste its entire contents inside the existing harddrive's EFI folder (in other words, paste it over the "CLOVER" folder inside the "EFI" folder -- leave other folders as they are)

Special Note: You've installed Windows with this particular drive active during the installation. What this means is that without this drive being active, you will no longer be able to boot into Windows regardless of where your Windows installation was installed. I'm not sure if this drive is a dual-boot drive or is separate from Mac OS, but take caution! The "Microsoft" folder inside the EFI folder is what allows you to boot into Windows).

- Download Kext Utility and then download and unzip KextsToAdd_SLE.zip**

Drag and drop all kexts (not the folder itself) from inside "KextsToAdd_SLE" on to the Kext Utility's window to install them. Wait for it to complete, like so...

**Note: If your system is stable and everything works for at least a week, then all kexts from the attached CLOVER->kexts->10.12 folder can be added to System/Library/Extensions via KextUtility. For preliminary testing, keep them separate.

- Next, install Nvidia Web Driver - 367.15.10.35f01, after its done installing (DO NOT RESTART YET!!), open a terminal window and copy/paste this and press enter (followed by your Mac OS password):

sudo nvram nvda_drv=1

Now reboot your OS.

What's recommended afterward:

- Attach a new IOReg file with the Clover/kexts installed and post it here

- Create a custom SSDT-UIAC.aml (for USBs) via Rehabman's "Creating a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll" or mine.

- Checking for XCPM properties and FrequencyVectors

- Download and add this to Apps folder (open the App, then click the "Power Monitor" button to check your frequency and temperatures): CPU-S v3.7 en.dmg.zip

- Download and install GeekBench 4 and see what kind of score you're getting.

Hello Mfc88

I'm excited! It works now really good!!! And very stable. Thank you so much for your help!!!

I'll post new IOReg file a little bit later.

I passed Geekbench 4 tests, and as I can see it looks like approx twice slower than expected (~2600 single core and ~18900 multi core also).

I also have a question about BIOS settings. What are recommended settings for this configuration?

@Fergarth: which patches did you mean for the c-states?

Im using these ones:

-xcpm performance fix 1

-Haswell-E CPUID

-XCPM PKG Scope MSRS © Pike R. Alpha

-XCPM Bootstrap Sierra © Pike R. Alpha

-XCPM Core Scope MSRS © Pike R. Alpha

-XCPM Idle Patch © Pike R. Alpha

Hi,

I am currently using these and I have C-3, C-6 and P-States without losing performance. The Haswell-E CPUID is not missing currently, at least on my CPU and I have stopped using it for some time.

You have to test and see if it works for you as well.

If you need it, you have my plist in the link below.

Hello Mfc88

I'm excited! It works now really good!!! And very stable. Thank you so much for your help!!!

I'll post new IOReg file a little bit later.

I passed Geekbench 4 tests, and as I can see it looks like approx twice slower than expected (~2600 single core and ~18900 multi core also).

I also have a question about BIOS settings. What are recommended settings for this configuration?

My BIOS settings: 10.12.3

You'll want to experiment with these XCPM patches in your config.plist's "KernelToPatch" (you're going to have to do a lot of Geekbench tests and see which ones add performance/take away performance and whether or not they'll make your CPU stable/instable):

~~Well, CPU-S v3.8 is now available, but only in Chinese... I may try to translate it at this weekend, if I have spare time, which is actually hard to get...~~

The GitHub Repo is here. Everything credits to the original software developer.

UPDATE @ 03/24, 20:30 CST: Sorry. No. For Chinese and English they are in different branches and thus it's more than just translating... So update aborted.

Regards,

Now with Sierra 12.4 Beta 8 (16E192b) and again everything works fine.

mfc88, i tried taking my fat DSDT and using SSDTs you suggested and was having a heart attack! ?

I lost the sound and all the PCI Devices... sorry friend, but I love my fat! ?

From using my SSDTs?

Just so you know, my SSDTs will conflict with your fakeSMC USB injection. Otherwise, it shouldn't cause loss of PCI devices...

mfc88 · March 21, 2017

Let's try with this CLOVER folder (just slap it over your current "CLOVER" folder inside the harddrive's "EFI" folder)...

Note: You can add the kexts to S/L/E or EFI->Clover->kexts->10.12, but read the notes below carefully:

- Please remove your current FakeSMC.kext and swap it with the FakeSMC.kext provided in KextsToAdd_SLE

- Please remove AHCI_Intel_Generic_SATA.kext and only use AHCIPortInjector.kext

- Please remove BluetoothDevBroadcomInjector.kext if using it and swap with BrcmFirmwareData.kext + BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

- Please remove X99_Injector USB 3.kext if using it and replace with USBInjectAll.kext + XHCI-x99-injector.kext

- Please remove RealtekALC.kext if using it and replace with AppleHDA_ALC1150.kext + AppleHDA.kext <--- not needed if yours is already vanilla

Set your BIOS according to below:

- Under Advanced:
/USB Configuration:

Intel XHCI Mode - Enable
EHCI Legacy Support - Disabled
XHCI Hand-off - Disabled
EHCI Hand-off - Disabled

What's recommended afterward:
- Attach a new IOReg file with the Clover/kexts installed and post it here
- Create a custom SSDT-UIAC.aml (for USBs) via Rehabman's "Creating a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll" or mine.

Completely revamped my Using UsbInjectAll.kext with a Custom SSDT-UIAC.aml

Hopefully, it'll now be more clear and easier to understand with tons of examples.

fedemax-t · March 21, 2017

Well, I think i came to a stable and quite satisfactory setup.

As a way to say THANKS to you all, I want to summarise my settings and hopefully be of some help to next ones with a similar rig.

My Setup:

X99 Gigabyte UD4 Revision 1.0 | Bios version F22
i7 5960x
Zotac GTX 980 AMP! Extreme
Samsung SM951 500GB AHCI
32GB Kit Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4-2666 (4x8GB)
Corsair Hydro Series H110i
500SSD Samsung 850EVO
2x 4TB SSHD in RAID 1
OS 10.12.3 (16D32)

BIOS Settings (Thanks @Fabiosun & @Fergarth)

C1E Enable
C6/C7 Enable
CPU TM Enable
C3 Enable
EIST Disable
Sync All Cores Enable
XHCI Hand-off Enabled
EHCI Hand-off Disabled

SSDT/DSDT/FrequencyVectors

SSDT:

1. SSDT generation with XCPM enabled (Thanks @mfc88)

curl -o ~/ssdtPRGen.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh/master/ssdtPRGen.sh

chmod +x ~/ssdtPRGen.sh

sudo ~/ssdtPRGen.sh x -1

2. In the freshly generated SSDT maxTurboFrequency value changed to 5000 (Thanks @nmano)

DSDT

With the DSDT converted by @mfc88 into single SSDTs I had no graphics, so I´m staying at the moment only with the patched DSDT.aml & the ssdtPRGen.sh generated ssdt.aml. As soon as I have time I will try mfc88s´ solution.

DSDT patches for Graphics and HDMI Audio (Thanks @nmano) Note: All credits to @nmano, I´ll attach the folder here for clarity

Rename first;
X99DSDT Devices Patches—>Graphics—>Graphics and HDMI Final.txt

Frequency Vectors (Thanks @Fabiosun & @mfc88)

Vectors iMac 14,2

DSDT XHCI to XHC

58484349 to 5848435f

DSDT EHC1 to EH01

45484331 to 45483031

DSDT EHC2 to EH02

45484332 to 45483032

C-States active using only following Kernel Patches: (Thanks @Fergarth)

USB 3.0 & 2.0 Injection

Through USBInjectAll.kext

(With time I will create a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll for USB port mapping as @mfc88 suggested via RehabMan https://github.com/RehabMan)

Audio Realtek 1150 (Thanks @mfc88 & @Fergarth)

Through Vanilla AppleHDA.kext & AppleHDA_ALC1150.kext installation in SLE with Kext Utility

Kext Patches for Audio:

Adding ALC1150 codec ID
10.12.x, Zeroing out redundant 0x11d4198a
Fixing sound loss #1
Fixing sound loss #2
Removing logs for AppleHDA
Removing logs for AppleHDAController
Adding x99 HDMI Audio Controller ID

OVERCLOCK

RAM: XMP Profile 1 (@2667Mhz) | RAM Voltage stable @ 1.300V (Stress-Tested with memtest v4.22)

(Adjusted config.plist with RAM frequencies attached, tho it works with just SMBIOS-->Trust checkbox enabled)

CPU: i7 5960x OC stable @4.3Ghz | 1.300V VCore | 1.150V CPU Ring Voltage | PWM Phase Control eXm Perf

Hope I didn´t forget anything. Cheers!

Oops! Looks like I referenced the wrong D0xx device. Use this SSDT-BR3A.aml instead and try again.

You'll also want the SSDT-XHC.aml (only for x99 systems) for USB power options (charging USB devices). Just drop it in patched as well...

Hi mfc88,

You still have not persuaded me to divorce my plump DSDT

I created an EFI specifically for what you suggested, I changed the USB settings on Bios (the USBs work but without 2.0 with your USB SSDT), I used your attachments in # 1443 and did everything as it had to be done!

Result: After reboot I lost the sound, wi-fi and all PCI devices in About This Mac ...
But anyway, I'll leave you attached here that you asked and I use now.

If you can, with the EFI folder installed (the EFI folder you've posted above is the old one, use the newer one), provide me an IOReg file and a text file with the Clover Configurator boot.log, and a kextstat output then that'd be appreciated.

As far as what I've done... not much. Extracted your _DSMs line by and line and added them to an SSDT (with the exception of DTGP). Perhaps, you may need it? Not sure, I'll determine that after you attach the above.

Good night, i came here as an last trying to get my hack work.

All was running correctly, but, after a graphic card change (came from GTX580 to GTX980ti) i can't boot the system, or launch installation. Only get ramdoms reboots...Any idea?

My specs:

i7-5820K

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Although we have different boards, if you want, try with my EFI

If it is a new installation used in Clover the flags -v nv_disable=1 ncpi=0x3000

It's all in the EFI and if you needed change Osxaptiofix driver to osxaptiofix2 or osxaptiofix2drv_free2000 ?

Hi,

Although we have different boards, if you want, try with my EFI

If it is a new installation used in Clover the flags -v and nv_disable=1

Ok, thanks i will try it!

By the moment i reached install screen with a new USB with OSXAptio2 (rare because X99 reboot with it), used flags: npci=0x2000 -v nv_disable=1
