nothing new changed, my new board works perfect!

 

I´m happy, no reboot or kernel panic and very low idle temp / power.

 

Using 2 configs, one absolute stock for low power/temp normal use, and one overclocked to max. stable settings when i need performance.

 

And we tested my old Asus X99-Deluxe again, other system with other CPU (5820k) GPU and so.... after 10 minutes a reboot without KP.

Then we flashed an old Bios. Now the board was stable for 1h 20min, and without doing anything in idle, the board rebooted...

Same game, other config.

 

So X99 is a challenge, when your system is stable, don´t change too much.

I tested your last config.plist in post #416 with my Asus X99 Deluxe (u/3.1 version not the first one)...bios is 3301 unlocked. Everything worked good till yesterday when i updated to 10.12.1. i had 2 freezes and when restarted at boot screen i had "overclocking failed" message.

Maybe the last "tuned" patches are not working correctly with the update, or maybe it's because i installed a thunderbolt audio card and i use it with thunderbolt raid too, or simply it's because of the latest clover version.

Tonight i will test again with your previous config i was using before making the update where i had no reset or freezes.

here is the config for stock frequency 

 

Please remember: every board and every board/CPU combination seems to be different.

 

This config.plist is for Gigabyte X99, i don´t test this config with ASUS

I have tested it on my Asus X99, it does not work.

Here's what works well

nothing new changed, my new board works perfect!

 

I´m happy, no reboot or kernel panic and very low idle temp / power.

 

Using 2 configs, one absolute stock for low power/temp normal use, and one overclocked to max. stable settings when i need performance.

 

And we tested my old Asus X99-Deluxe again, other system with other CPU (5820k) GPU and so.... after 10 minutes a reboot without KP.

Then we flashed an old Bios. Now the board was stable for 1h 20min, and without doing anything in idle, the board rebooted...

Same game, other config.

 

So X99 is a challenge, when your system is stable, don´t change too much.

 

Tests done on Asus X99 Pro 3.1 Bios 3402 Unlocked

With and without Overclock

EIST disabled

With and without SSDT for PM

 

Hello everyone,

I have done some tests and for me the result leaves no doubt.

With the nmano config #397 and SammlerG #416, my Asus presented either sporadic freezing after working about 15 or 20 minutes. It will probably be a patch that is more or so missing, I do not know. So far, the only one config that does not cause problems on my system, is that I leave attached. Does not freeze in both stock and overclocked and the Sleep/Wake works flawlessly.

Today I will test the last config that nmano provided #444 and then I report.

What clover version are you using?

Try this

In Bios setting must disable CPU thermal monitor its stop to restart issue.

For macOS 10.12.1 (16B2657) i can´t use AppleALC.kext.

When this kext is installed, my system hangs at booting.

 

So i removed AppleALC.kext and use audio_cloverALC-120_v1.0d.command.

 

 

This is working for me, and no boot problems.

Hello,

 

I'm close to a fully working build but i can not get my usb 3 to work, and i'm guessing that's causing also my no sleep/turn off issues as well as it just keeps rebooting. 

 

I'm using DSDT from nmano which solved a ton of issues for me, audio works with voodooHDA, wifi+bluetooth works OOB with apple airport card.

 

Attached is my config.plist maybe someone with better knowledge will find what is missing. 

 

Thanks

Hi,

Wow! What a strange plist for your system lol. As this had not seen any. Many unnecessary things. I'm on mobile phone now, but tomorrow I help you.

I used AppleALC 10.12.1 no problem

But I have creative sound.

I add -alcbeta in boot  section.

maybe it´s the combination with my GTX 980Ti.

 

I have 3 installations of Sierra, and it´s always the same. I can boot with AppleALC when i use InsanelyRepairPermission befor.

This works fine, but when macOS changes something and rebuild caches it self, i can´t boot.

Tested this with ONYX and delete & rebuild caches. System don´t boot. I have to use -alcoff and it boots fine.

Now running InsanelyRepairPermission, and it boots again.

 

I have no idea, with 10.11.6 i never had this problems.

 

Another problem is the nv_disable=1 flag, with GTX 980Ti this is not longer working! I can only boot with Nvidia driver,

because without web driver my system reboots before login. The nv_disable=1 flag is not longer working with 10.12.1 for me.

With 10.11.6 it boots in VESA mode and disables Nvidia start, but no way to disable this in 10.12.1.
