KGP-iMacPro Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 For starters you can use nVidia GPUs without the need of Lilu, nVidiaGraphicsFixUp and/or on the fly patching the board-id, needing to use AGDPFix after installing the web drivers which is a huge step forward. (Thanks to @fabiosun for finding this possibility) We can use 10.13.3 (17D47) or 10.13.3 (17D2047) both but if we are using the 17D47 we need to add the board-id of an iMacPro to the PlatformSupport.plist otherwise it won't be able to recognize the iMacPro as supported platform. I guess the already added the iMacPro's info in the 10.13.4 (beta) and soon there will be a unified version of the macOS Installer available once the 10.13.4 is out. Everything worked on my rig (SkyLake) with iMacPro SMBIOS and nothing failed so far. BTW... Section D.) exactly describes how to build the 10.13.3 (17D2047) Full Package Installer for a Clean Install of or Update to 10.13.3 (17D2047) with SMBIOS iMacPro1,1...

AKlion Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Good day. A little about myself, my first computer APPLE LС2. This led to the fact that I almost do not know Windows I want to build a machine on the motherboard ASUS PRIME X299-A And the processor i9-7920X. But I do not want to do water cooling. I now have a processor Core i7-970 heat pack 130 watts. And it is never hotter than 60 degrees. At the processor i9-7900X heat pack 140 watts. I think that I can make it that it was not hotter than 60 degrees. Tell or say pliz, I am mistaken, or it is possible or probable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKlion Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Why do you think that without water can not do, because the processor that I want to put only 10 watts hotter than the one that I have. And my processor with the coolerNever warmed hotter than 60 degrees. Does 10 watts mean so much? I do not want to mess with the water. I really do not like it.

Forgive me for bad English, I live in Russia. When you sync all cores and run the i9-7900X @ 4.4. Ghz max. turbo stock speed, you have to dissipate around 300-400W. Good luck, man!

AKlion Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 But I'm not going to overclock the processor. If it does not overclock it will be only 140 watts. If someone was building a machine on an i9-7920X processor, you could measure which power consumes the processor at 100% load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not talking about OC... talking about running all cores of the i9-7900X @ 4.4 GHz stock speed.. You are free to do whatever you want my friend. You can also just run one core out of 10 cores @ 10 Mhz... Then any cooling might be obsolete. Good luck, KGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone was building a machine on an i9-7920X processor, you could measure which power consumes the processor at 100% load. If this helps, Don't always believe everything you read. I reset my bios to default - no overclock, 7900x. The power draw was 200W. Don't pay any attention to the temps, it's delidded and on a custom loop. Probably the 140W was non turbo draw. If you wanted to you could underclock your processor and run it on air, but then you might as well go for one of the 6 core cheap chips. I'm sticking with kgp's opinion on this one.

slurpi Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 But I'm not going to overclock the processor. If it does not overclock it will be only 140 watts. If someone was building a machine on an i9-7920X processor, you could measure which power consumes the processor at 100% load. I don't have the experience of powerful CPUs like KGP has. I only have the 8-core 7820X. However, I understand that the Noctua NH-D15 is one of the best air coolers on the market and is compatible with the 2066 platform. Here is a compatibility list: https://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail/tdpguide I use it with my processor and it works fine, even with a minor overclocking. Others have tested it and claim that its cooling capabilities is similar to the Corsair 115i. As long as you don't want to OC, I think it is worth trying. But note that it is quite big. Make sure you have a case that is high enough, and that you have clearance around your motherboard for it. In my case, if I place my video card on the first PCI slot, it almost touches the cooler. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKlion Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I intended to use the case Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced. The computer in this case is now at my desk. This case allows you to place a cooler with a height of 171 mm. If I put Noctua NH-D15, I have a 6 mm margin in height. I intended to use Thermalright Le GRAND Macho RT. Although I have not made my final choice yet. I still have time to compare all the pros and cons of different coolers. I'm probably going to collect the system in the summer, now I'm studying the participants in order to understand what will be the best choice for me. I try to understand how powerful a computer I need for work, 90% of the time it practically works without load, but I eat moments when I really need its maximum speed.

I don't know if it is useful or not but here it is your choice Flash anything is a risk, but with some cautions I ever flashed anything if I thought it was an improvement in these three patches one of them produces reconstruction error as I said previously @DSM2 so first you have to find if that pattern patch is in your bios and if it is there you can try to patch in different way. then you can pass other patches with uefipatch as I have done in this "problematic" bios If you trust in TSC patches, you can find in all bios I have tested (and patched) On 2/17/2018 at 10:59 AM, gxsolace said: @fabiosun when you run the patch on the MSI X299 Xpower Gaming AC's BIOS, the patcher doesn't return any errors?
