Hey guys,

 

So I just got macOS Sierra running on my x99 system but I am having troubles getting my 960 evo to show up and all the usb 3.0's to work on my computer.  I have done alot of research and tried alot of things but no luck.

 

Hoping someone can help me out!

 

Thanks

you can try use this https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme

for usb3, use usbinjectall.kext and also try with xhci mode enabled in bios.

[ptzulu]

 

With X99 Board you can test to enable Apple Bus Power Controller USB

 

Rename    

 

Scope (_SB.PCI0.LPC0)

    {

to

How can I apply this without overriding my current DSDT?

I very much appreciate! (didn't test it yet, but later in the day will)

 

Is there a good tutorial or wiki on how to compile?

Every time I try to compile, it gives me error and I can't... that's why I was asking for some help

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
Currently with the version 12.6 beta (16G24b) and last Clover, but no stability in the system. Sporadic failures to start, reboots and many, many freezings...

EDIT:

I swear I do not understand this! I removed the overclock and stuck all stock and the reboots and freezings disappeared. Has been running for an hour without any flaw...

Everything perfect now!

High Sierra installed in APFS mode on second SSD. Stable, but no graphics acceleration, no ALC1150 sound and no XCPM...

EDIT: Sound and XCPM ok now!

Hi to all!

I've tried for several days to install 10.12.5 on ASUS X99-E WS/USB3.1 mobo (BIOS - 3502) with i7 6900K Broadwell-e CPU.

The patches are confusing. Some of them causing panic and disabling other cause panic as well.

Does anybody have up and running system with similar config? Just want to ask to share config, DSDT and may be kexts.

xcpm returns with 0 for me (

Thank you!

There are some guides for X99 and BIOS configs in all of them a bit different. Can you please provide a proper BIOS config (only critical stuff) to enable xpcm?

For now I am able to boot with cpus=1 or with VoodooTSCsync. Only with one of them. In all other cases - panic. I do believe that it is more BIOS related stuff.

In Bios I use everything by default. I just deactivated EIST and selected Sync all Colors on the CPU. The rest is in the EFI folder that I made available. Of course DSDT and SSDT were created specifically for my board and my processor. For the freq vectors (speedsteps), I use the attached kext that must be installed in SLE. My plist already has the required XCPM patches for 12.5 or 12.6 ...

Hi,

I have a very strange thing going on and i can´t find a solution.

 

I´m running the Asus X99A II. Everything is fine but after I updated my BIOS from 1504 to 1701 I lost one of the USB 2 controllers. Namely EH01 is not working anymore. It´s probably DSDT related because with my 1504 DSDT it still works. 

I attached both DSDT versions + System Report- PCI Pics. They clearly show the problem.

 

Would be great if someone finds the problem. It´s already the 3rd machine where i see this mistake.

Update to Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29) Everything perfect here 

I tried but cpu frequency is stucked at maximum (3.2ghz)...i've a xeon so unsupported cpu. I asked for help to PMheart but i tried a patch to use with 10.12.6 and no luck...cpu frequency is still high.

 

EDIT. I find the mistake....i've multiple config.plist so clover read always the old one even if i selected the new. Now it works

Hi everyone, I have installed Sierra 10.12.5 successfully on my build but it's not stable at all.
Sometimes it boots perfectly, infact I'm writing here from that system, graphics work well but sometimes it takes like 8-10 attempts to boot up correctly, sometimes it freezes right at login screen.

I have a working yosemite installation on this system, 100% stable but without sleep and power management, never crashed tho

 

I don't have any experience on this and probably I got it by luck... can you please help me configure my build to work with Sierra as well?

 

My system:

GA-X99-UD4

i7-5820K

Samsung 850 EVO 250G

16GB Corsair Vengeance lpx ddr4 2400Mhz

 

I attached my clover folder, ioregexplorer output and the "send me" zip

 

Hopefully I'm going to learn a lot of stuff from this experience

Thank you in advance

Hello,

The CPU remains blocked at 4GHz

Where is the trick?

First of all you must change a patch in clover (thanks to PMHeart for help) and then if you have multiple config delete all and leave the one you use.

Here are new patches:

 

 

old:         find:             83c3c483 fb22

So I'm still learning along the way but it looks like I managed to get some progress, now I still get a lot of kernel panics but I managed to drastically reduce them.

 

I'm trying to understand how to apply patches correctly and how to know if the patch I'm introducing is the correct one for my system or not, because at the moment it's more like trial and error, if it works I keep it otherwise I just remove the entry from the config file.

 

I have another question, how can I store boot logs to read them later once the system boots up correctly? because sometimes it crashes and reboots so fast that I can't even reed the error.

Is there anyone here with the same hardware that can help me?

 

I attached my current CLOVER folder.
