surfinchina Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I guess it's only useful if someone really wants to not have to use VoodooTSCSync. Hehe. It'll be interesting to see if there's a performance or stability gain. Otherwise I can't see the point in risking it on an unlocked mobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loloflat6 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 attached here x299UD4.F6b patched bios and also MSI x299 X Power Gaming Ac but as always I do not advice to flash it because it is risky and maybe not useful at all for your task Done , flashed ... and all seems working ! many thank's ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGP-iMacPro Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Successful Update to macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 SA (17D2102) Important Notification: Note the new macOS Build number 17D2102! No official Nvidia Web Driver has been released yet for 17D2102! Thus, all Nvidia users have to work with the xx.106 or xx.157 Web-Deriver Patch-Workaround fully described in Section E.2) - Graphics Configuration, until an official Nvidia Web Driver has been released for 17D2102! The guide in the originating post of this thread will be updated, as soon the latter Web Driver is available. Enjoy and have fun, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGP-iMacPro Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Big Progress in Skylake-X/X299 HWMonitoring After a extensive tweet session between @BJango, @gxsolace and myself, it seems that we approached a major step forward towards a correct Skalyke-X/X299 HWMonitoring based on the HWSensor and FakeSMC kext distribution provided by @interferenc and iStatMenus provided by @BJango. Many thanks to both @interferenc and @Bjango for their awesome and extensive contributions and just brilliant work! The recent iStatMenus beta distribution can be achieved here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bjango/files/istatmenus6/957.zip …. The HWSensor and FakeSMC kext distribution of @interferenc can be achieved here: https://github.com/interferenc/HWSensors. To compile the HWSensor kexts, perform the individual steps detailed below: 1.) git clone https://github.com/interferenc/HWSensors 2.) cp HWSensors ~/Desktop/ 3.) cd ~/Desktop/HWSensors 4.) xcodebuild -project Versioning\ And\ Distribution.xcodeproj/ 5.) xcodebuild -project HWMonitor.xcodeproj/ 6.) xcodebuild -project HWSensors.xcodeproj -alltargets Subsequently, one finds the all compiled binaries in ~/Desktop/HWSensors/Binaries/. Note that all compiled kext binaries are once more attached below. Just download and unzip HWSensor-kext-distribution-interferenc.zip and copy all kexts to /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other/. Remaining problems: a.) CPU Package Cores and CPU package DRAM power consumption apparently not supported by sensor kexts... b.) GPU Fan speed at 100 rpm for water blocked Nvidia GPU :-) Enjoy and have fun, HWSensor-kext-distribution-interferenc.zip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I notice that cpu voltage showing incorrect value. For now I thing will stay with @Slice version. There are all moderatory information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGP-iMacPro Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 @Matthew82, for me the important thing is to finally retreive the correct Skylake-X CPU information, which totally fails with HWMonior.app. I am optimistic that one can use any sensor kext distribution with iStatmenus. No explicit need to take the sensor kexts of @interferenc. What improved is the Sensor interface of iStatmenus! Cheers, KGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew82 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 From long time a not using HWMonitor.app. But @Slice make compatible version for HWMonitorSMC.app and iStat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGP-iMacPro Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 From long time a not using HWMonitor.app. But @Slice make compatible version for HWMonitorSMC.app and iStat. Well then his Sensor kexts should also work with the new iStatmenus beta.. As far as I see from your picture above, you are still limited to 8-10 core sensor information. For me the kexts of Slice do not work at all... Up to you, it is not a must to use the new iStatmenus beta... you are free to do whatever you want..

I was referring to the officially distributed HWSensor distribution of Slice & Co on SourceForge, which on my Skylake-X/X299 system I can directly drop to the trash bin ... Any links you could provide for the unofficial beta developer version you are apparently using at present? It is really funny... one finally achieves a fix of iStatMenus, which now finally seems fully compatible with the Skylake-X/X299 sensor information.. but instead of some expected positive response, I rather witness critics and negative response... Seems that moreover I even have to justify myself for the awesome work of @Bjango and @interferenc. I opened more than 1 month ago a ticket on SourceForge, which unfortunately until today remained open and without any further action or response: https://sourceforge.net/p/hwsensors/hwsensors3/tickets/2/ That's something I would call contra-productive or even impolite.

Guest Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Mmmmhh I could answer simply with this link : #361 But also I would like to replicate to some of your words 1) you did not know HWSensor slice thread where this app was updated for some request of few users indeed 2) for you is funny and you see critics and conspiracies in every people saying something different about some your assertions In my message I have only said that this app is also under development (from an Italian developer) And I was asking to slice for cores support....from time ago.. But to be first does not mean I am better than other! ok? Without any polemics but before doing such statement be more informed! best regards @fabiosun, what means not really true?

Sorry if i waited to answer : I wanted to test for a few days : No issue and my build is stable , the most improvement is that xcpm_core_scope_msrs © Pike R.

When i use the disabler, my system idle down to 1.00 GHz, when ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext is loaded, idle @ 1.20 GHz. I saw same unstable system behavior when using disabler.kext. So I thing there is no point to experimenting. If you want lower temp and frequency in idle mode you can use modified PlatformPlugin. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IANg7Qtz7IRoAe4xxvsLSh7P4M94qb5S/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
