KGP-iMacPro Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Up and running macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (18E226) on iMac Pro Skylake-X/X299 Hackintosh! This afternoon @DSM2 advised me that yesterday Apple seems to have added a second special build of MacOS 10.14.4 (18E2034) on swcdn.apple.com, likely for new devices. Abstract and Introduction: This originating post constitutes a new macOS 10.14 Mojave Desktop Guide for Skylake-X/X299, which certainly will further grow not only thanks to your estimated feedback and contributions. It is the logical continuation of my successful iMac Pro Skylake-X/X299 Build and Desktop Guide published for macOS High Sierra 10.13. To avoid jumping back and forth, I will make this guide as consistent as the former, which however implies also some redundancy. As everybody already might now, my Skylake-X/X299 Desktop Guide bases on the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe. However, also other X299 ASUS mainboard models or X299 mainboards of other brands might be compatible after likely considering and implementing few mandatory modifications. The same states for guide compatibility with all Skylake-X/299 CPUs different form the i9-7980XE employed here. I recently changed from the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe to the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G. While the default EFI-Folder distribution remains the same, very few differences in the post installation process for the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G will be added to my guidelines during the next days. Before starting with all detailed instructions, please find a Table of Content that provides an overview of the individual topics addressed within this guide: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents A.)

Mainboard BIOS On a real Mac with native OSX XCPM power management, the MSR 0xE2 register is unlocked and therefore writeable. However, on ASUS mobos this register was usually read only for ages. When the kernel tried to write to this locked register, it caused a kernel panic. This panic could happen very early in the boot process, with the result that the system freezes or reboots during the boot process. We could circumvent the MSR 0xE2 register write with a dedicated KernelToPatch entry in the config.plist, namely "xcpm_core_scope_msrs © Pike R. Alpha" and by enabling the "KernelPM" in the config.plist in Section "Kernel and Kext Patches" of the Clover Configurator. Thanks to recent modifications in CodeRush's Longsoft UEFIPatch distributions and thanks to three sophisticated MSR 0xE2 Register patches provided by @interferenc (partly former work of CodeRush, Pike Alpha and Adrian_dsl), we were able to successfully patch any ASUS X299 mainboard BIOS firmware distribution and unlock the MSR 0xE2 register. The patched ASUS mainboard BIOS firmware finally has been uploaded to the specific ASUS X299 mainboard by means of the ASUS EZ BIOS Flashback Procedure. This made the "xcpm_core_scope_msrs © Pike R. Alpha" KernelToPatch entry obsolete and allowed full native read/write MSR 0xE2 register access by the OSX kernel. Since ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe BIOS firmware 1301, ASUS now allows upon my user request for the first time to manually unlock the MSR 0xE2 register within the most recent BIOS settings. This makes the ASUS BIOS firmware patching obsolete. MSI and ASRock X299 mainboards allowed the manual unlock of the MSR 0xE2 BIOS Register right from the beginning and the MSR 0xE2 BIOS Register of all Gigabyte mainboards is anyway unlocked by factory default. However, yet we witness some TSC desynchronisation of the Skylake-X threads at boot and wake from S3. Until further microcode updates are performed by the mainboard manufacturers, we therefore have to use the TSCAdjustRest.kext provided by @inteferenc (see error prevention C.4 of this guide) to circumvent this TSC desynchronisation issue. By this we achieve fully native HWP (Intel SpeedShift Technology) CPU Power Management for all Skylake-X processors on all X299 mainboards with unlocked MSR 0xE2 BIOS Register, resulting in absolutely brilliant and top-end CPU performance (see Section E.1). Before summarising all necessary ASUS and Gigabyte BIOS settings, let me provide X299D.CAP, the best working ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe BIOS Firmware 1503 with an iMacPro Splash Screen Image (see Section E.10), which can be flashed by means of the well known ASUS EZ BIOS Flashback procedure. You should stay away from subsequent BIOS firmware versions 1603 and 1704, as they can either introduce XHCI related issues or prevent GPU firmware load at boot. Thus please, stay with 1503 as the best firmware implementation for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe! For the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G, I also attach below BIOS Firmware version 0905 with the iMacPro Splash Screen Image, i.e WSXTG.CAP, also to be flashed with the ASUS EZ BIOS Flashback procedure. B2.) ASUS BIOS Configuration After Updating System time and System Date, enable X.M.P for your DDR4 modules. Don't forget to enable the EZ XMP Switch previously to this step on your ASUS Mainboard! Subsequently switch form the easy to the advanced ASUS BIOS Setup mode by pressing F7.

Important General Note/Advice and Error Prevention Please note the following important General Note / Advice and Error Prevention, when implementing macOS Mojave on your Skylake-X/X299 System. 1.) My actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution contains by default AptioMemoryFix.efi thanks to @vit9696. Note that already with Clover_v2.4k_r4392, AptioMemoryFix.efi has become an official Customization Option of Clover and can now be selected and therefore also just easily implemented in the frame of the Clover Boot Loader Installation. For native NVRAM implementation, Clover's RC Scripts have to be omitted during the clover boot loader installation. If already previously installed, remove Clover's RC Scripts from the /etc directory of your macOS USB Flash Drive Installer or System Disk: sudo rm -rf /etc/rc.boot.d sudo rm -rf /etc/rc.shutdown.d Also the "slide" boot flag needs to be disabled. 2.a.) Most ATI GPUs, e.g. RX Vega 64, RX Vega Frontier, RX 580, RX 560 are supposed to be "natively" implemented. It is commonly recommended not to use RX 560 and RX 580 GPUs due to the lacking iGPU implementation when using SMBIOS iMacPro1,1. With macOS 10.14.5 Beta 1, also the new Radeon VII is now natively implemented.By means of my RadeonVII/Vega64/Vega56/RX560/RX580 SSDTs, available in my respective X299 SSDT Github repository, and Whatevergreen.kext, all available DP and HDMI ports, including multi-monitor support, display HotPlug and system sleep/wake should be automatically and successfully implemented. Whatevergreen.kext only seems required for all Vegas possessing less than 6 physical ports (including the original Vegas like Frontier and Vega 64), else the current AMD SSDTs do pretty well their job.Important additional comment for all Vega users with 4K monitors though: when connecting a Vega with e.g. the LG 38UC99-W (WUHD, 3840 pix x 1600 pix) via one of the Display Ports (DPs), the screen resolution is fine under both Windows 10 and macOS High Sierra but is totally at odd during boot (VGA like boot screen resolution). The VEGA DP 4K boot screen resolution issue is neither related with the fact that the LG 38UC99-W is an ultra-wide (3840x1600) and not a true UHD (3840x2160) monitor nor related to any likely apparent issue with the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe firmware. It is definitely a Vega firmware problem in combination with most 4K displays, as the DP 4K boot screen resolution issue is totally absent with any Nvidia GPU and the problem also does not only affect the ASUS Splash Screen but also spreads over the entire boot process until the login screen is reached (Windows and macOS). Splash Screen, Apple logo or verbose boot messages are not stretched but rather have VGA like resolution. Any fix of the AMD vBIOS would be highly appreciated. It is more than disappointing to witness such issues with 600-1000$ GPUs... Fortunately, the 4K boot screen issue is restricted to the Vega DP ports and likely due to the fact that the LG 38UC99-W only supports DP 1.2. Solution: Connect your Vega and your 4K display via the HDMI port. The 30 Hz HDMI monitor frequency issue under 10.13 is successfully removed under Mojave: monitor frequency of 60 Hz with the display connected via HDMI (in contrary to 75 Hz via DP).b.) Also Nvidia Kepler Graphics Cards are natively implemented.c.) All Users with Nvidia Maxwell and Pascal Graphics Cards Users still have to wait for the official release of 10.14 Web Drivers. I was actively requesting Web Driver development for macOS 10.14 Betas from Nvidia, which has been rejected. I really hope that Nvidia will not leave again the respective community without Web Driver support . In the meanwhile, Nvidia GPU users have to live with e.g. patched Web Driver xxx.40.105 for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 after a simple patching procedure detailed in Section E.2), although the latter Web Driver is not really suited for 10.14 and works without hardware acceleration. 3.) The /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI/-directory of all former EFI-Distributions contained a patched version of the actual apfs.efi. The actual apfs.efi can be obtained by following the respective guideline detailed below: Right-click with your mouse on the "Install macOS High Sierra.app" and select "Show Package Contents" -> click with the mouse on "Contents" and subsequently on "Shared Support" -> double-click with the mouse on "BaseSystem.dmg" for mounting. Go to "usr" -> "standalone" -> "i386". Drop the apfs.efi to your Desktop. To patch the apfs.efi for non-verbose boot, follow THIS LINK. Credits to @PMheart and @ermac. Note however, that the entire apsf.efi approach detailed above recently has become totally obsolete. Thanks to the ApfsSupportPkg developed by @acidenthera & Co. and thanks to it's recent implementation to Clover (thanks to @Slice, @Philip Petev & Co.) in form of ApsfDriverLoader.efi, there is no further need of the former apsf.efi in the /EFI/Clover/drivers64UEFI/ directory. The actual Clover distribution package including the ApsfDriverLoader.efi can by build by means of the Build_Clover.command available on Gitub. Since Version 4.8.8, the latter script also can be used with 10.14 and Xcode 10 +Xcode 10 Command Line Tools thanks to @vector sigma. 4.) To avoid Skylake-X thread TSC desynchronisation errors during boot and wake from S3 with unpatched X299 mainboards, likely induced by yet erroneous Skylake-X BIOS microcode implementations, we need to use TSCAdjustReset.kext provided by @interferenc in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of both USB Flash Drive and System Disk. To access TSCAdjustRest.kext, download primarily its source distribution from Github with the following terminal command: git clone https://github.com/interferenc/TSCAdjustReset Subsequently copy the TSCAdjustRest source distribution to your Desktop using the following terminal command: mv /TSCAdjustReset ~/Desktop Now change in the terminal to the TSCAdjustReset source distribution on your Desktop with the following terminal command: cd ~/Desktop/TSCAdjustReset/ Now compile the source distribution with Xcode by using the following terminal command: xcodebuild After successful compilation, you will find the TSCAdjustRest.kext in ~/Desktop/TSCAdjustReset/build/Release/ Please note that the TSCAdjustRest.kext by default is configured for a 8-core CPU (16 threads) like the i7-7820X. To adopt the kext for Skylake-X processers with more or less cores than 8 cores, apply the following approach: a.) Right-click with the mouse on the TSCAdjustRest.kext file and select "Show Packet Contents". b.) Double-click with the mouse on /contents/ . After a right-click on the "Info.plist" file, select "Open with /Other". Select the TextEdit.app and edit the "Info.plist" file. c.) Use the "find"-function of TextEdit.app and search for the term "IOCPUNumber" d.) Note that the adequate IOCPUNumber for your particular Skylake-X processor is the number of its threads -1, by always keeping in mind that the number of it's threads is always 2x the number of it's cores. Thus in case of the 8 core i7-7820X, the IOCPUNumber is 15 (16 threads - 1). <key>IOCPUNumber</key> <integer>15</integer> By following this methodology, the correct IOCPUNumber for the 10-core i9-7900X would be 19 (20 threads -1) <key>IOCPUNumber</key> <integer>19</integer> and the IOCPUNumber for the 18-core i9-7980XE would result in 35 (36 threads -1). <key>IOCPUNumber</key> <integer>35</integer> e.) After adopting the IOCPUNumber for your particular Skylake-X processor, save the info.plist file and copy the modified TSCAdjustRest.kext to the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ - directories of both USB Flash Drive Installer and System Disk and you are save and all done! 5.) Like under macOS 10.13 High Sierra also with macOS 10.14 Mojave, Apple forces all users to use the new Apple file system APFS in case of a Clean Install. In case that you want to remain with the HFS+ file system, use @Brumbear's Unsolid.kext in the /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other/ directory. Note that there is no way to convert an APFS disk back to HFS+ without the loss of all data, but one can easily reformat an APFS formatted disk to HFS+ under OSX by using either Apple's Disk Utility App or "diskutil" commands. All you need to do is to previously unmount the APFS volume before erasing it with a journaled HFS+ file system and a GRUB Partition Table (GTP). If you want to maintain the disk's content, perform a backup before erasing the disk with a HFS+ format. The application of Apple's Disk utility is straight forward. The "diskutil" equivalent is detailed below: In the Terminal app, type: diskutil list In the output which you can read by scrolling back, you will find all internal disks named /dev/disk0, /dev/disk1, depending upon how many physical disks are present in your system. Make a note of the disk identifier for the disk you intend to format (you can eliminate risk by removing all disks but the intended target). In the Terminal app, type: diskutil unmount /dev/diskX where diskX is a place holder for the disk to be unmounted. Now delete the APFS container of diskX: diskutil apfs deleteContainer /dev/diskX Subsequently, you can erase the entire disk with HFS+ and a GPT by typing the following terminal command: diskutil partitionDisk /dev/diskX 1 GPT jhfs+ "iMacPro" R where /dev/diskX is again a place holder for disk to be erased and iMacPro would be the label for the single partition created. The remaining 1 GPT jhfs+ and R arguments tell diskutil to create a single partition, within a GUID partition table, formatted as Journaled HFS+ and using the entire disk, respectively. Alternatively one can also use the following terminal command: diskutil partitionDisk /dev/diskX GPT JHFS+ iMacPro 0b where /dev/diskX is again a place holder for disk to be erased and iMacPro is again the label for the disk partition created. The GPT HFFS+ and 0b arguments again tell diskutil to create a single partition, within a GUID partition table, formatted as Journaled HFS+ and covering the entire disk, respectively. In the Terminal app, type now: diskutil mount /dev/diskX where diskX is again a place holder for the disk to be remounted. Note, that by means of the "diskutil approach", brand new unformatted or not compatibly formatted system NVMe, SSD and HDD system drives can be also directly formatted within the macOS Clean Install procedure. When presented with the initial install screen where you are presented options to Restore From Backup or Install, select Terminal from the Utilities menu bar item; The "diskutil" terminal approach is also able to convert a HFS+ macOS 10.14 Mojave System Disk to APFS. To do so enter the following terminal command: diskutil apfs convert /dev/diskX where diskX is again a place holder for the HFS+ disk to be converted to APFS. The same procedure again can also be directly performed by means of Apple's Disk Utility. Important recommendation: If you opt for an APFS System Disk implementation, try to also implement all other disks of your system with APFS file format. On systems with APFS disks and non-APFS disks, the boot duration will increase, as apsf.efi will perform a fsck check of non-AFPS disks (like HFS+ or Fat32) during boot. However, dual boot APFS Systems with an NTFS Windows System Disk are not effected by the apsf.efi issue, as OSX does not know how to properly deal with NTFS. 6.) All ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe users, who enabled the second LAN controller in the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe BIOS, are advised to download, unzip and copy the SmallTree-Intel-211-AT-PCIe-GBE.kext to the EFI-Folders of both USB Flash Drive Installer and 10.14 System Disk, or to disable the second LAN port in the BIOS during the MacOS Installation. In case of the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G, remove both IntelMausiEthernet.kext and SmallTree-Intel-211VA-PCIe-GBE.kext from your respective EFI-Folder. 7.) All Gigabite mainboard users need to add the "npci=0x2000" boot flag to their config.plist by checking the latter in Section "Boot" of Clover Configurator under "Arguments". D.) iMac Pro macOS 10.14 Mojave System Setup Below, one finds a detailed description for the Installation/Update of/to macOS Mojave 10.14 . This also includes the EFI-Folder Preparation (D.1), the macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Package creation (D.2), the macOS Mojave 10.14 USB Flash Drive Installer Creation (D.3) and the macOS Mojave 10.14 Clean Install. One also finds instructions for a direct iMac Pro conversion of a functional Skylake-X/X299 system with a SMBIOS System Definition different from iMacPro1,1 and standard macOS build implementation (D.5) of any former macOS distribution. D.6 finally provides details to the future iMac Pro macOS Mojave Update Procedure. D.1) iMac Pro EFI-Folder Preparation In order to successfully boot a macOS USB Flash Drive Installer or System Disk on a Hackintosh system, both drives must be equipped with an EFI-Folder in their EFI partitions. In this Section we will prepare a fully equipped EFI-Folder with SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 System definition. 1.) Download and unzip my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution and copy the therein contained EFI-Folder to your Desktop. 2.) Open the config.plist in /EFI/Clover/ with the latest version of Clover Configurator (>/= v.4.60.0), proceed to the "SMBIOS" Section and complete the SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 Serial Number, Board Serial Number and SMUUID entries. These details are mandatory to successfully run iMessage and FaceTime on your iMac Pro System. Note that all other iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS Details are already implemented in the config.plist of my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution. Press several times the "Generate New" Button next to the serial number text field to generate a serial number and board serial number.With SMBIOS of an iMacPro1,1 it is not currently possible to verify the validity of the serial number on everymac.com.Therefore, verify the validity of your serial number on appleserialnumberinfo.com instead. Open the https://checkcoverage.apple.com site, paste your Serial Number and confirm that the serial number is not in use yet.Finally press several times the "Generate New" button next to SmUUID. Users of mainboards with locked MSR Register (disabled MSR OSX Kernel write access) have to enable the xcpm_core_scope_msrs © Pike R. Alpha Kernel patch in their config.plist under "KernelToPatch" in Section "Kernel and Kext Patches" of Clover Configurator and also check "KernelPM".

Create the installer.pkg on your Desktop with the following terminal command: cd .. productbuild --distribution ./041-56507/041-56507.English.dist --package-path ./041-56507/ installer.pkg 4.) Create the "Install MacOS Mojave" in the /Applications folder of your System Disk with the following terminal command: sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg installer.pkg -target / In case that you receive an error message, ignore the latter and proceed with 5.)5.) Now add the following files to your "Install macOS Mojave.app" with the following terminal commands: sudo cp ./041-56507/InstallESDDmg.pkg /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg sudo cp ./041-56507/AppleDiagnostics.dmg /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ sudo cp ./041-56507/AppleDiagnostics.chunklist /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ sudo cp ./041-56507/BaseSystem.dmg /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ sudo cp ./041-56507/BaseSystem.chunklist /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ Verify your "Install Mojave.app" for completeness. You should now have a complete macOS Mojave 10.14. (18E226) Installer package in your /Applications Folder.The entire "Install macOS Mojave.app" creation procedure has been also fully automatised within one single script, as already implemented for macOS High Sierra with the help off @macandrea. createInstaller-10.14.4-23042019.sh will automatically create on any MacOS System the "Install macOS Mojave.app" for macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (18E226) in the /Applications folder.Just download und unzip createInstaller-10.14.4-23042019.sh.zip and run the following terminal commands: cd ~/Downloads chmod +x createInstaller-10.14.4-23042019.sh ./createInstaller-10.14.4-23042019.sh And here is createInstaller-10.14.4-SB-23042019.sh, which will automatically create on any MacOS System the "Install macOS Mojave.app" for macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (18E2034) - special build in the /Applications folder. Just download und unzip createInstaller-10.14.4-SB-23042019.sh.zip and run the following terminal commands: cd ~/Downloads chmod +x createInstaller-10.14.4-SB-23042019.sh ./createInstaller-10.14.4-SB-23042019.sh D.3) iMac Pro macOS Mojave 10.14 USB Flash Drive Installer Creation Follow the individual steps detailed below to successfully create a bootable iMac Pro macOS Mojave 10.14 USB Flash Drive Installer. 1.) Format a USB Flash Drive of your choice (source, named USB) with HFS+ [(Mac OS Extended (Journaled)] and a GUID partition table by means of Apple's Disk Utility on any other Hackintosh or Mac of your choice. This will create an empty HFS+ Partition and a yet empty EFI-partition on your iMac Pro macOS USB Flash Drive Installer. 2.) With the macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Package in your /Application Folder, connect your USB Flash Drive (named USB) and run the following terminal command: sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction Alternatively, one can create the iMac Pro macOS USB Flash Drive Installer also by means of the Install Disk Creator.app. 3.) For successfully booting your iMac Pro macOS USB Flash Drive Installer, the latter must however also contain a valid EFI- Folder with an SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 system definition. Thus, copy the EFI-Folder you prepared in Section D.1) to the yet empty EFI Partition of yourmacOS USB Flash Drive Installer. You now have a fully functional and bootable macOS Mojave 10.14 USB Flash Drive Installer. D.4) iMac Pro macOS Mojave 10.14 Clean Install on Skylake-X/X299 Follow the individual steps detailed below to successfully setup macOS Mojave 10.14 on a virgin system drive of your choice (NVMe, SSD or HDD). 1.) In order to perform a clean install of macOS Mojave 10.14, prepare a virgin NVMe, SDD or HDD destination drive for the iMac Pro macOS installation by formatting the drive with HFS+ [(Mac OS Extended (Journaled)] and a GUID partition table by means of Apple's Disk Utility on any other Hackintosh or Mac of your choice. This will create an empty HFS+ Partition and a yet empty EFI-partition on the drive. 2.) Copy the EFI-Folder you prepared in Section D.1) to the yet empty EFI Partition. 3.) Now connect the Destination Drive to your Hackintosh System and boot the latter with the plugged macOS Mojave 10.14 USB Flash Drive Installer, your created in Section D.2) 4.) While booting your system, press the F8 button to enter the BIOS boot menu. Select to boot from your macOS USB Flash Drive Installer. 5.) Subsequently, click on the USB Flash Drive Installer Icon in the clover boot menu to boot the respective macOS Installer partition on your macOS USB Flash Drive Installer 6.) After successful boot, pass the individual steps of the macOS 10.14 Mojave installation menu and finally select the destination drive of your macOS 10.14 Mojave Installation, which should be logically the system disk you successfully configured above. In the next step, the Installer will create a macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Partition on the system disk and subsequently reboot your system. 7.) During system reboot, just press again the F8 button to enter the BIOS boot menu. Select again to boot from your USB Flash Drive. In contrary to 6.), click this time on the "Install MacOS.." Icon in the clover boot screen to boot the newly created macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Partition on your system disk. 8.) After successful boot, you will enter now the macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Screen with a progress bar starting at about 34 minutes. 9.) After another reboot, press again the F8 button to enter the BIOS boot menu. Select to boot with your System Disk EFI-folder. Click on the "MacOS Mojave" icon on the clover boot screen to boot the new macOS Mojave partition of your system disk. 10.) After successful boot do the requested iCloud registration and you will have your first iMac Pro macOS Mojave 10.14 system. Proceed with Section D.6) - iMac Pro macOS High Sierra Build Updates (if necessary) or E.) - Post Installation Process. D.5) Direct iMac Pro conversions of a functional Skylake-X/X299 system with a SMBIOS System Definition different from iMacPro1,1 and a standard macOS build implementation 1.) Replace the EFI-Folder of your System Disk by the EFI-Folder you created in Section D.1) 2.) Copy /System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist to your Desktop, add BoardID "Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94" under SupportedBoardIDs by means of Xcode as suggested by user Griven from the German Hackintosh-Forum and copy back the modified PlatformSupport.plist to System/Library/CoreServices/. 3.) If not already in your /Applications folder after performing Section D.2), copy the iMac Pro macOS Installer Package ("Install macOS Mojave.app") to your /Applications folder. 4.) Double click on the "Install macOS Mojave.app" in the /Applications Folder to start the macOS Mojave 10.14 installation. 5.) After reboot, click on the "Install MacOS.." Icon in the clover boot screen to boot the newly created macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Partition on your system disk. 6.) After successful boot, you will enter now the macOS Mojave 10.14 Installer Screen with a progress bar starting at 43 minutes. 7.) After another reboot, click on the "MacOS Mojave" icon in the clover boot screen to boot the updated macOS Mojave 10.14 on your system disk. 8.) After successful boot you have to register at iCloud at the end of the macOS installation, and you will now have your first iMac Pro macOS Mojave 10.14 build. Proceed with Section D.6) - iMac Pro macOS High Sierra Build Updates (if necessary) or Section E.) - Post Installation Process. D.6) iMac Pro macOS 10.14 Mojave Update Procedure If you already used my 10.13 iMacPro Skylake-X/X299 guide to setup a 10.13 iMac Pro macOS build, you simply have to update your EFI-Folder and directly perform the update to macOS 10.14 Mojave from System Disk by else following steps 4.) to 8.) of D.5) above. Any future macOS Mojave update can be directly performed fully vanilla via "Software Update" under "System Preferences". E.) Post Installation Process E.1) HWP (Intel SpeedShift Technology) CPU Power Management Configuration On Skylake-X/X299 Systems with unlocked mainboard BIOS MSR 0xE2 BIOS register and SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 we gain fully native HWP (IntelSpeedShift) Power Management after disabling the last remaining XCPM KernelToPatch entry "xcpm_core_scope_msrs" in the config.plist under Section "Kernel and Kext Patches" of Clover Configurator, which by default is still implemented but disabled in the config.plist of my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution. Users with locked mainboard BIOS MSR 0xE2 register, still have to use the "xcpm_core_scope_msrs" XCPM KernelToPatch entry to successfully boot their systems. Otherwise the OSX Kernel will write to that BIOS register and cause KP at boot! HWP is a way for the processor itself to manage the power consumption, with minor input from OSX on what it thinks it needs. In contrary, XCPM is the OSX power management part. It directly controls older hardware like Broadwell-E/EP or Haswell-E/EP and enables HWP on newer hardware like Skylake-X. It also sets some HWP variables, like the desired frequency at the maximum. XCPM is enabled by default. For it's complete configuration, XCPM still requires the CPU "plugin-type" injection to properly load the required XCPM frequency vectors from the iMacPro.plist, which can be directly achieved within the config.plist by checking "PluginType" in Section "ACPI" of Clover Configurator. How to verify a working xcpm configuration? a.) Typically the command "sysctl machdep.xcpm.mode" reveals 1, which means that XCPM is active. b.) Verify that in the IORegistryExplorer you have now under CP00@0 the following entry: Property: Type: Value: plugin-type Number 0x1 c.) Also verify with the terminal command: kextstat|grep -y x86plat that the "X86PlatformPlugin.kext" is now loaded. If the command returns something like 112 1 0xffffff7f822bc000 0x17000 0x17000 com.apple.driver.X86PlatformPlugin (1.0.0) FD88AF70-3E2C-3935-99E4-C48669EC274B <111 19 18 13 11 7 6 5 4 3 1> 146 1 0xffffff7f822d3000 0x7000 0x7000 com.apple.driver.X86PlatformShim (1.0.0) DCEA94A4-3547-3129-A888-E9D5C77B275E <112 111 13 7 4 3> d.) Verify with the following terminal command: kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu that you got rid of the Apple Intel CPU power management. If the result is empty you are fine. e.) Verify with the following terminal command: sysctl -n machdep.xcpm.vectors_loaded_count If this command returns "1", the XCPM FrequencyVectors are properly loaded and you are all set. E.2) Graphics Configuration Most ATI GPUs, e.g. RX Vega 64, RX Vega Frontier, RX 580, RX 560 are supposed to be "natively" implemented. It is commonly recommended not to use RX 560 and RX 580 GPUs due to the lacking iGPU implementation when using SMBIOS iMacPro1,1. With macOS 10.14.5 Beta 1, also the new Radeon VII is now natively implemented.By means of my RadeonVII/Vega64/Vega56/RX560/RX580 SSDTs, available in my respective X299 SSDT Github repository, and Whatevergreen.kext, all available DP and HDMI ports, including multi-monitor support, display HotPlug and system sleep/wake should be automatically and successfully implemented. Whatevergreen.kext only seems required for all Vegas possessing less than 6 physical ports (including the original Vegas like Frontier and Vega 64), else the current AMD SSDTs do pretty well their job. Important additional comment for all Vega users with 4K monitors though: when connecting a Vega with e.g. the LG 38UC99-W (WUHD, 3840 pix x 1600 pix) via one of the Display Ports (DPs), the screen resolution is fine under both Windows 10 and macOS High Sierra but is totally at odd during boot (VGA like boot screen resolution). The VEGA DP 4K boot screen resolution issue is neither related with the fact that the LG 38UC99-W is an ultra-wide (3840x1600) and not a true UHD (3840x2160) monitor nor related to any likely apparent issue with the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe firmware. It is definitely a Vega firmware problem in combination with most 4K displays, as the DP 4K boot screen resolution issue is totally absent with any Nvidia GPU and the problem also does not only affect the ASUS Splash Screen but also spreads over the entire boot process until the login screen is reached (Windows and macOS). Splash Screen, Apple logo or verbose boot messages are not stretched but rather have VGA like resolution. Any fix of the AMD vBIOS would be highly appreciated. It is more than disappointing to witness such issues with 600-1000$ GPUs... Fortunately, the 4K boot screen issue is restricted to the Vega DP ports and likely due to the fact that the LG 38UC99-W only supports DP 1.2. Solution: Connect your Vega and your 4K display via the HDMI port. The 30 Hz HDMI monitor frequency issue under 10.13 is successfully removed under Mojave: monitor frequency of 60 Hz with the display connected via HDMI (in contrary to 75 Hz via DP). Also Nvidia Kepler Graphics Cards are natively implemented. All Users with Nvidia Maxwell and Pascal Graphics Cards Users still have to wait for the official release of 10.14 Web Drivers. I was actively requesting Web Driver development for macOS 10.14 Betas from Nvidia, which has been rejected. I really hope that Nvidia will not leave the respective community again without Web Driver support. In the meanwhile, Nvidia GPU users have to live with e.g. patched Web Driver xxx.40.105 for macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 after a simple patching procedure detailed below, although the latter Web Driver is not really suited for 10.14 and works without hardware acceleration. How to patch an Nvidia WebDriver: Download the Nvidia WebDriver-Payload Repackager from InsanelyMac. Credits to @Chris111 and @Pavo. The patch procedure is simple and fully described in the implemented Readme.txt and will reveal a Repackaged-WebDriver.pkg, which can be used for installing e.g. the patched Nvidia Web Driver xxx.40.105 under macOS Mojave 10.14. Nvidia Web Driver Installation and Black Screen Prevention: Apparently with SMBIOS iMacPro1,1, the Nvidia Black Screen Prevention has become obsolete. Thanks to @fabiosun for this finding. Thus, Whatevergreen.kext, subverting AppleMobileFileIntegrity banning the driver can be theoretically removed from the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of your macOS Flash Drive Installer and 10.13 System Disk. However, the actual releases of Whatevergreen.kext and Lilu.kext apparently help in fixing the Nvidia HDAU implementation and sporadic black screen issues while wake from sleep. Thus, the latter kext combination might still represent potential workarounds for few likely remaining Nvidia GPU system issues. a.) Install the patched Nvidia 10.13 Web Driver Package. b.) Now perform the following additional steps: i.) Copy /L/E/NVDAStartupWeb.kext to your Desktop. ii.) Right-click on NVDAStartupWeb.kext and select show package content. iii.) Change to "Contents" and edit the "Info.plist" with Xcode. iv.) Go to IOKitPersonalities -> NVDAStartup -> change "NVDARequiredOS" from "17G65" to "18D45", the corresponding build number of MacOS Mojave 10.14.3. v.) Save the "Info.plist" file and copy the modified "NVDAStartupWeb.kext" to /L/E/ with root permission. vi.) Open a terminal and enter the following commands: sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/Extensions/NVDAStartupWeb.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/NVDAStartupWeb.kext sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u / sudo touch /Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u / vii.) Reboot. viii.) The patched Web Driver might not be active yet. Therefore, open the Nvidia Driver Manager and select "Nvidia Web Driver". ix.) Now reboot as requested and you will have a Web Driver implementation for MacOS Mojave 10.14. E.3) Audio Configuration Note that my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution does not contain any default audio configuration. You have to implement the audio approach of your choice during the Post Installation process! Please select between one out of three possible audio implementations detailed below. To avoid the loss of analogue onboard audio (S1220A in case of the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe) on Wake from Sleep, please download, unzip and copy the latest CodecCommander.kext distribution of [USER=429483]@RehabMan[/USER] from bitbucket.org to the /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other directory in the EFI-Folder of your System Disk: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-eapd-codec-commander/downloads/. E.3.1.) AppleALC Audio Implementation The actual AppleALC audio implementation traces back to the extensive efforts and brilliant work of @vit9696 and @apfelnico. This new AppleALC audio approach requires latest versions of AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of your System Disk. Provided that you use my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution, you need to open the config.plist in the /EFI/CLOVER/ directory of your System Disk with the Clover Configurator and add the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI replacement patch in Clover Configurator Section "ACPI" under "DSDT Patches". Comment: Find*[Hex] Replace [Hex] CAVS -> HDEF 43415653 48444546 When implementing the SSDT in Section 9.2), we will perform the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI replacement directly within the SSDT. We then have to remove again the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI replacement from the config.plist! Note that opposite to the alternative VoodooHDA and CLoverALC approach detailed below, the AppleALC audio implementation requires an Audio ID in injection of "7" instead of "1". Implement the latter Audio ID in the config.plist of your System Disk under "Audio" and "Injection" in the Section "Devices" of the Clover Configurator. The correct HDAU HDMI/DP digital Audio PCI implementation will be detailed in Section E.9) in line with the HDEF and GPU PCI device implementation. To remove the AppleALC Audio Approach Implementation perform the following steps: 1.) Remove AppleALC.kext from the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of your System Disk. 2.) Disable in the config. plist the CAVS -> HDEF DSDT Replacement Patch in Clover Configurator Section "ACPI" under "DSDT Patches". 3.) Adopt the Audio ID Injection in your respective config.plist in Clover Configurator Section "Devices" for the alternative audio approach you intent to use. 4.) Reboot E.3.2) VoodooHDA Audio Implementation 1.) Provided that you use my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution, you need to open the config.plist in the /EFI/CLOVER/ directory of your System Disk with the Clover Configurator and enable the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI Replacement Patch in Clover Configurator Section "ACPI" under "DSDT Patches". Comment Find*[HEX] Replace*[HEX] Rename CAVS to HDEF 43415653 48444546 When implementing the SSDT in Section 9.2), we will perform the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI replacement directly within the SSDT. We then have to remove again the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI replacement from the config.plist! 2.) Download VoodooHDA.kext v2.9.0d10 to your Desktop. Mouse Right-Click on VoodooHDA.kext -> select "Show Package Contents" -> click on "Contents" -> Right-Click on "Info.plist" -> "Open With" -> "Other" -> select "TextEdit.app" 3.) a.) In the TextEdit.app select in the menu "Edit" -> "Find" -> "Find..." -> search for "IOPCIClassMatch" and replace <key>IOPCIClassMatch</key> <string>0x04020000&0xfffe0000</string> with <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x43831002</string> b.) Download, unzip and run IORegistryExplorer. Search for HDEF and write down the "IOName"-entry under e.g. PC00@0/AppleACPIPCI/HDEF@1F,3 which can slightly deviate on mainboards different from the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe. The HDEF-IOName on the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe is "pci8086,a2f0" Concert the IOName as shown below in case of the HDEF-IOName of the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe: "0xa2f08086" c.) Now replace in the "Info.plist" of "VoodooHDA.kext" "0x43831002" by "0xa2f08086" and save the "Info.plist". d.) Copy the modified "VoodooHDA.kext" to the /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other/ - directory of your System Disk. 4.) Download and copy the VoodooHDA.prefPane v1.2 attached below to ~/Library/PreferencePanes/ 5.) Note that the VoodooHDA audio approach requires an Audio ID in injection of "1". The corresponding modification of the config.plist has to be implemented by means of the Clover Configurator by modifying the respective entry in Section "Devices". 6.) Reboot To remove the VoodooHDA audio implementation, perform the following steps: 1.) Disable in the config. plist the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI Replacement Patch in Clover Configurator Section "ACPI" under "DSDT Patches". 2.) Remove VoodooHDA.kext from the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of your System Disk. 3.) Remove VoodooHDA.prefPane from ~/Library/PreferencePanes/ 4.) Adopt the Audio ID Injection in your config.plist in Section "Devices" of the Clover Configurator for the alternative audio approach you intent to use 5.) Reboot E.3.3) cloverALC Audio Implementation @toleda 's cloverALC audio approach has been implemented thanks to the respective advices and help of user @Ramalama. Note that in contrary to the AppleALC and VoodooHDA approaches, the cloverALC audio approach detailed below will patch the native vanilla AppleHDA.kext in the /S/L/E directory of your System Disk! This before implementing the cloverALC audio approach, backup your native vanilla AppleHDA.kext from the /S/L/E directory on your System Disk! You will have to reinstall the native vanilla AppleHDA.kext from the /S/L/E directory on your System Disk with the appropriate permissions during a removal of the cloverALC Audio Implementation! Thus you need a backup of the latter native vanilla kext in any case! CloverALC audio approach installation: 1.) Provided that you use my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution, you need to open the config.plist in the /EFI/CLOVER/ directory of your System Disk with the Clover Configurator and enable the CAVS -> HDEF ACPI Replacement Patch in Clover Configurator Section "ACPI" under "DSDT Patches".

Reboot E.4) USB Configuration: Since 10.13 SU and with AppleIntelPCHPMC, Apple implements IOPCIPrimaryMatchID "a2af8068" and AppleUSBXHCISPT also for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe. Until 10.14.0, by this all external and internal XHC USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A) and USB 2.0 (USB 2.0 Gen 1 Type-A) connectors of all X299 mainboards where fully implemented, always provided that one uses a working USB port limit patches. Valid USB port limit patch for 10.14.4 provided by @PMHeart (hardwired but yet disabled in my respective EFI-Folder distribution) by following USB port limit patch approach for 10.14.3 by [USER=1614363]@ydeng[/USER]: USB port limit patch for 10.14.4 provided by @PMheart: kext : com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily Find : 83FB0F0F 87 Replace : 83FB3F0F 87 Name : USB Port Limit Patch 1 ©PMHeart kext : com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI Find : 4183FF0F 0F83 Replace : 4183FF3F 0F83 Name : USB Port Limit Patch 2 ©PMHeart kext : com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily Find : 83E30FD3 E34109DF Replace : 83E33FD3 E34109DF Name : USB Port Limit Patch 3 ©PMHeart Former USB port limit patches for 10.14.3 provided by ©ydeng: kext : com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily Find : 83FB0F0F 871604 00 Replace : 83FB3F0F 871604 00 Name : USB Port Limit Patch 1 ©ydeng kext : com.apple.driver.usb.AppleUSBXHCI Find : 83FB0F0F 838F0400 00 Replace : 83FB3F0F 838F0400 00 Name : USB Port Limit Patch 2 ©ydeng kext : com.apple.iokit.IOUSBHostFamily Find : 83E30FD3 E34109DF Replace : 83E33FD3 E34109DF Name : USB Port Limit Patch 3 ©ydeng However, it is strongly recommended to use board-specific XHC USB kexts in addition. Such board-specific XHC USB kexts can be easily created for any motherboard of any brand by following my respective XHC USB Kext Creation guideline. Being mainboard specific, a XHC USB kext is only valid for one particular mainboard model although users of the same mainboard model naturally can share the same XHC USB kext, if complete and properly implemented without any additional efforts. KGP-iMacPro-ASUS-PX299D-XHCI.kext would be the XHC USB kext for the Prime X299 Deluxe with all 20 ports implemented. However, it is strongly recommend to keep respective USB port limit patches disabled and to use a truncated 15-port kext instead, which might avoid buffer overruns and makes your system more vanilla with respect to future macOS updates. For the truncated 15-port kext, we have to drop some of the 20 HS and SS ports implemented from the kext to stay within Apple's 15 USB port limit. For truncating a fully implemented XHC USB kext (all 20 HS and SS ports implemented), I usually recommend to drop one out of usually two internal USB3.0 connectors (which already reduces the number of implemented ports to 16 for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe): To remain within the 15 USB port limit, I also recommend to drop one of the four USB2.0 ports at the backside of the mainboard from the kext (HS09, HS10, HS11 or HS12), which further reduces the number of implemented USB ports by one. Thus, in total we have now 15 implemented HS and SS ports and we just stay within the 15 USB port limit. In the truncated KGP-iMacPro-ASUS-PX299D-XHCI-15port.kext, I removed HS03, HS04, SSP3, SSP4 (assigned to the internal USB3.0 header U31G1_34) and HS12 (assigned to the most left USB2.0 connector on the back panel of the mainboard) from the kext. By this, all other USB2.0 and USB3.0 ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe onboard connectors remain fully functional. Alternatively, one could also drop e.g. HS01, HS01, SSP1, SSP2 (assigned to the internal USB3.0 header U31G1_12) or either HS09, HS10 or HS11 from KGP-iMacPro-ASUS-PX299D-XHCI.kext. Up to your personal taste. All experienced users are kindly invited to provide their fully implemented XHC USB kext and truncated 15-port XHC USB kext for a motherboard not yet being part of the respective XHC USB Kext Library with an implemented port-layout.rtf and by else following the correct kext nomenclatures defined in my XHC USB Kext creation guidelines in line with full motherboard and SMBIOS denominations. Respective XHC USB kexts for the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G have been kindly provided by @Djlild7hina and are available in the Github repository. However note that DJ7-iMacPro-ASUS-WSX299S10G-XHCI.kext.zip and DJ7-iMacPro-ASUS-WSX299S10G-XHCI-15port.kext.zip are identical as HS/SS ports assigned to the USB3.0 connectors/header of the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G do not exceed Apple's 15-port Usb limit. Remaining USB ejection issues during sleep/wake likely can be fixed by 3rd party software tools like e.g. mountain.app. E.5.) NVMe Compatibility In contrary to macOS Sierra 10.12 and as already in macOS High Sierra 10.13, under macOS 10.14 Mojave, there is native support of non-4Kn NVMe SSDs, like my Samsung EVO 970 Pro M.2 NVME. All patches applied under macOS Sierra 10.12 are therefore obsolete. The native support of non-4Kn NVMe SSDs enables the unique opportunity to directly perform a clean-install of macOS High Sierra or Mojave on M.2 NVMEs like the Samsung EVO 970 Pro. E.6.) SSD/NVMe TRIM Support: Macs only enable TRIM for Apple-provided solid-state drives they come with. If you upgrade a Mac with an aftermarket SSD/NVMe, the Mac won’t use TRIM with it. The same applies for SSDs/NVMes used by a Hackintosh. When an operating system uses TRIM with a solid-state drive, it sends a signal to the SSD/NVMe every time you delete a file. The SSD/NVMe knows that the file is deleted and it can erase the file’s data from its flash storage. With flash memory, it’s faster to write to empty memory — to write to full memory, the memory must first be erased and then written to. This causes your SSD/NVMe to slow down over time unless TRIM is enabled. TRIM ensures the physical NAND memory locations containing deleted files are erased before you need to write to them. The SSD/NVMe can then manage its available storage more intelligently. Note that the config.plist in my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution, contains an SSD/NVMe "TRIM Enabler" KextsToPatch entry, which can be found in the " Kernel and Kext Patches" Section of the Clover Configurator. Name* Find*[HEX] Replace*[HEX] Comment IOAHCIBlockStorage 4150504c 45205353 4400 00000000 00000000 0000 Trim Enabler With this KextToPatch entry, SSD/NVMe TRIM should be fully enabled on your 10.13 System. See your Apple's System Report. E.7) GC-Titan Ridge / GC-Alpine Ridge or ASUS TBEX 3 Add-in PCIe Adapter Implementation For the successful implementation of the GC-Titan Ridge (recommended), GC-Alpine Ridge (compatible) or ASUS Thunderbolt EX3 (R.I.P) PCIe Add-In Adapters, a fully working Dual Boot System with an UEFI Windows Implementation is unfortunately absolutely mandatory. You will not be able to configure your Thunderbolt 3 Adapter in the mainboard BIOS, until the Adapter has been successfully recognised and initialised by the UEFI Windows System. Fortunately legal and official License Keys for the actual Windows 10 Pro distribution can be purchased with a little bit of temporal effort on Google for an actual price of 20 $ or even below! Thus, the installation of a dual boot system with Windows will require some additional temporal user effort but will not noticeably further affect the users's budget. Please note that I especially emphasize the term UEFI, when speaking about the parallel Windows implementation. Don't use or perform a Legacy Implementation of Windows! In order to properly implement your Windows partition later-on in the Clover Bootloader and to comply with the actual Mainbaord-BIOS settings requirements, it is absolutely mandatory to run or perform an UEFI Windows implementation! So if not already implemented, how to achieve a fully working UEFI Windows Implementation and Dual boot System with Windows? 1.) Important Note! For the implementation of the UEFI Windows Distribution disconnect all usually plugged macOSDrives from your rig! The Windows installer will implement a Windows Boot Loader! If you have any macOS Drive connected during installation, the latter Windows Boot Loader might overwrite and destroy your current Clover Boot Loader. This is the last thing you want! Thus for the windows installation just connect the destination drive for the installation and the Windows USB Flash Drive Installer your will create in the subsequent step below! 2.) This Tutorial explains in all necessary detail how to download an actual Windows 10 Creator distribution, and how tosubsequently create a bootable USB Flash Drive Installer for a subsequent UEFI Windows 10 installation by means RUFUS! Don't put emphasis on alternative optional methods and always take care that you just follow the instructions for a successful subsequent UEFI Windows Installation! 3.) This Tutorial explains in all necessary detail how to properly perform the actual Windows 10 Pro Creator UEFIInstallation, subsequent to the a bootable Windows USB Flash Drive Installer realisation detailed in 2.) above. 4.) This Tutorial explains in all necessary detail, how to migrate/clone/backup your Windows 10 UEFI System Disk afterinstallation for future maintenance and safety. 5.) After successfully performing the UEFI Windows 10 Pro Creator Implementation, you can reconnect your macOS drive to your rig. The newly created UEFI Windows 10 Pro Creator Partition will automatically appear as a further boot option in both BIOS Boot Option Menu (F8) and Clover Boot Menu! No additional or further actions or measurements have to be taken! 6.) Once your Windows 10 Pro Creator Partition is fully operational, install all drivers and programs implemented on the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe/WS X299 Sage 10G Series DVD attached to your mainboard. This will further allow you to properly adjust the desired AURA Mainboard Settings and offer many other mainboard configuration options. 7.) Now switch off your rig and start with the installation of our Thunderbolt 3 Add-In PCIe Adapter On the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe, I recommend to install any Thunderbolt 3 Add-In PCIe Adapter in the 4th PCIe Slot from top, which is PCIEX_3, while on the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G any Thunderbolt 3 Add-In PCIe Adapter must be in the second slot from top PCIEX_2 by default. 8.) Reboot into windows and install accompanying TB3 PCIe Drivers and Software. 9.) Reboot and enter the Mainboard BIOS (F2) Go to /Advanced/ Thunderbolt(TM) Configuration/ and apply the following BIOS Settings detailed below: /Advanced/ Thunderbolt(TM) Configuration/ TBT Root por Selector PCIE16_3 (Prime X299 Deluxe) / PCIE16_2 (WS X299 Sage 10G) Thunderbolt USB Support Enabled Thunderbolt Boot Support Enabled Wake From Thunderbolt(TM Devices) Off Thunderbolt(TM) PCIe Cache-line Size 128 GPIO3 Force Pwr On Wait time in ms after applying Force Pwr 200 Skip PCI OptionRom Enabled Security Level SL0-No Security Reserve mem per phy slot 32 Reserve P mem per phy slot 32 Reserve IO per phy slot 20 Delay before SX Exit 300 GPIO Filter Enabled Enable CLK REQ Disabled Enable ASPM Enabled Enable LTR Disabled Extra Bus Reserved 65 Reserved Memory 386 Memory Alignment 26 Reserved PMemory 960 PMemory Alignment 28 Reserved I/O 0 Alpine Ridge XHCI WA Enabled 10.) Shut down your rig, connect the Thunderbolt Device to your Thunderbolt 3 Adaptor and boot your system. 11.) You are done! Your Thunderbolt 3 Adapter and the connected device should now be fully implemented and functional. 12.) We will add TB XHC USB and TB HotPlug functionality in Section E.9.2) of this guide. Note that with the GC-Titan Ridge, HotPlug functionality can be gained with the THB_C connected. For HotPlug with the other TB adaptors, the THB-C must be removed from most of the available mainboards. E.8) Gbit and 10-Gbit Ethernet Implementations Section E.8.1) and and E.8.2.) below, describe in all necessary detail how to gain full Gbit and 10-Gbit LAN functionality on Skylake-X/X299 systems. E.8.1) ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe on-board Gbit Ethernet Functionality Thanks to the SmallTree-Intel-211-AT-PCIe-GBE.kext, also the Intel I211_AT Gigabit on-board LAN controller of the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe will be correctly implemented and fully functional, in addition to the Intel I219-V Gigabyte on-board LAN controller of the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe implemented by means of IntelMausiEthernet.kext (already part of my EFI-Folder distributions). Thus, both ethernet ports on the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe should now be fully operational.. Just download , unzip and copy the SmallTree-Intel-211-AT-PCIe-GBE.kext attached below to the /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other/, reboot and you should be done. E.8.2) 10-GBit Lan Implementations ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe on-board Gbit Ethernet Functionality E.8.2.1) ASUS XG-C100C Aquantia AQC107 10-Gbit NIC Starting with 10.13.2 there is native support for the Aquantia AQTION AQC107 10-GBit NIC of the iMac Pro in form of vanilla kext "AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion.kext", which is further part of "IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/" placed in /System/Library/Extensions/ (credits to @mikeboss). First success with the ASUS XG-C100C Aquantia AQTION AQC107 10-GBit PCIe x4 NIC under MacOS 10.13.3 has been reported by @d5aqoep. @Mieze finally came up with a AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion KextPatch for the use of the ASUS XG-C100C Aquantia AQTION AQC107 10-GBit PCIe x4 NIC also under 10.13.4 and and later macOS versions. How to successfully implement the ASUS XG-C100C Aquantia AQTION AQC107 10-GBit PCIe x4 NIC: 1.) A temporal macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D2047 in case of the iMac Pro) installation is absolutely mandatory at first place. Only within the latter macOS High Sierra build, the ASUS XG-C100C Aquantia AQTION AQC107 10GBit PCIe x4 NIC will receive the proper AQC107 Apple firmware to be recognised and fully implemented by OSX. The firmware update will be performed during system boot. Several boot intents might be necessary until the firmware update finally succeeds. Only subsequently, the ASUS XG-C100C Aquantia AQTION AQC107 10GBit PCIe x4 NIC will be natively implemented in macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 and fully functional. 2.) To finally use the ASUS XG-C100C Aquantia AQTION AQC107 10GBit PCIe x4 NIC with macOS builds >10.13.4 and finally also with 10.14, one has to implement the following AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion KextPatch provided by @Mieze: Name* Find*[HEX] Replace*[HEX] Comment AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion 6275696C 742D696E 62626262 62626262 Aquantia built-in patch ©Mieze 3.) The proper XGBE ASUS XG-C100C PCI SSDT implementation is detailed in Section E.9.2) 4.) Note that after the firmware update under macOS High Sierra 10.13.3, the ASUS XG-C100C AQTION AQC107 10GBit PCIe x4 NIC will refuse the official Windows Lan drivers provided by ASUS and will only work with Apple's customised Aquantia64v2.0.015.0 boot camp drivers attached below. Preferable AQC107 10-Gbit NIC PCIe solutions now available on the market are the Syba 1 Port PCIe x4 10GB Aquantia AQTION AQC107 NIC (thanks to @mirwaiz for his respective discovery and for all subsequent confirmation of his findings by @mm2margaret , who also pointed me to this extremely valid approach) and the 1 Port PCIe x4 10GB Aquantia AQtion AQC107 10G Gaming NIC (thanks to @izo1 for respective findings and advises), which are natively implemented under macOS OoB and neither need the above firmware update nor the respective AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion kext patch. E.8.2.2) Intel X540-T1 10-Gbit NIC Thanks to some Ubuntu EEPROM modding, I also achieved the successful implementation of the Intel X540-T1 single port 10GB LAN PCIe Adapter by means of the Small-Tree 10GB macOS 10.13 driver. Some additional notes to the EEPROM modding guideline provided by the above link. 1.) When creating your Ubuntu USB Flash Drive, use RUFUS 3.0 and select the GPT option to obtain a Ubuntu USB boot drive, fully compatible with your UEFI BIOS implementation! 2.) To install "net-tools", enter the following terminal command sudo apt install net-tools 3.) To install "ethtool" enter the following terminal command: sudo apt-get install ethtool 4.) Within the latest Ubuntu distributions, ETH0, ETH1, etc. have been replaced by some weird "enp" port-nomenclature, thus the command "ifconfig" would reveal something like the following: My Intel X540-T1 was assigned to enp225s0. 5.) With the command "lspci -nn -vvv | grep Ethernet" you have to use in 6.) the Vendor/Device-ID entry highlighted by the green rectangle. 6.) By running the "sudo ethtool -e enp225s0 | less" command and eyeballing the offsets, be aware that the latter can be distributed over two lines: You have to count from left to right 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f for each pair of digits for each offset. Thus, the commands I had to run to mod the Intel X540-T1 EEPROM were: sudo ethtool -E enp225s0 magic 0x15288086 offset 0x48e value 0x0a sudo ethtool -E enp225s0 magic 0x15288086 offset 0x48f value 0x00 Note that the "magic" value implemented in this command has been taken from the "lspci -nn -vvv | grep Ethernet" command output, again encircled by a green rectangle: The rest is as described in the EEPROM modding guideline linked above. The proper Intel X540-T1 PCI SSDT implementation is detailed in Section E.9.2) Actually, I am now currently using this adaptor in my X99 system configuration. E.8.2.3) Onboard Intel X550-AT2 10-Gbit NICs of the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G The same Ubuntu EEPROM modding detailed in E.8.2.2) can be also applied for the 2x onboard Intel X550-AT2 NICs of the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G. In my case I deduced the following Ubuntu terminal commands for performing the final Ubuntu EEPROM modding: sudo ethtool -E enp179s0f0 magic 0x15638086 offset 0x242 value 0x0a sudo ethtool -E enp179s0f0 magic 0x15638086 offset 0x243 value 0x00 sudo ethtool -E enp179s0f1 magic 0x15638086 offset 0x242 value 0x0a sudo ethtool -E enp179s0f1 magic 0x15638086 offset 0x243 value 0x00 Note that the enp address can vary with the Ubuntu version. E.8.2.4) Small-Tree P2EI0G-2T 10-Gbit NIC The Small-Tree P2EI0G-2T 2-Port 10GB LAN PCIe Adapter constitutes the actual base line in my X299 10Gbit LAN configuration. It works OoB with the Small-Tree 10GB macOS 10.13 driver. The proper Small-Tree P2EI0G-2T PCI SSDT implementation is detailed in Section E.9.2) E.8.2.5) NetGear ProSave XS508M 8-port 10-Gbit Switch As already mentioned above, the NetGear ProSave XS508M 8-port 10GBit switch constitutes the turntable of my 10-GBit Ethernet Network. It further connects with a QNAP TS-431X2 Quad-core 4-Bay NAS tower with Built-in 10GbE SFP+ Port. E.8.2.6) QNAP TS-431X2 Quad-core 4-Bay NAS tower The QNAP TS-431X2 Quad-core 4-Bay NAS tower finally harbours 4x 12 TB Seagate IronWolf drives in RAID 0 configuration (as I rather opt for read/write speed than redundancy). E.8.2.7) 10-GBit Ethernet Optimisation 1.) Use SMB 3.0 instead of AFS for your Ethernet communication. 2.) Enable Jumbo Frames on your NAS and macOS network settings. 3.) The service order in your macOS network settings should have your 10-Gbit NIC at first position. 4.) You can turn off the SMB packet signing of the client and server in a secure network. Incoming SMB Enter the following terminal commands: sudo -s echo "[default]" >> /etc/nsmb.conf echo "signing_required=no" >> /etc/nsmb.conf exit Outgoing SMB: Enter the following terminal commands: smbutil statshares -a sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server SigningRequired 0 E.9) ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe / WS X299 Sage 10G PCI Device Implementation In order to properly implement all PCI device drivers on his/her system and build, one needs adequate ACPI DSDT Replacements and a sophisticated system SSDTs. Both requirements have been originally successfully implemented for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe by our gorgeous @apfelnico. Many thanks for the extensive efforts and extremely fruitful and brilliant work! Subsequently, I adopted the ACPI DSDT Replacements and system SSDTs in concordance with SMBIOS iMacPro1,1. Some ACPI DSDT Replacements are still part of the config.plist contained in my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution. Others are part of my System SSDTs provided in my X299-System-SSDTs Github repository.Note that the ACPI DSDT Replacements in config.plist and System SSDTs are build and PCIe slot population dependent and have to be verified and adopted or modified for all mainboards different from the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe and builds or PCIe slot populations different from the one that constitutes the baseline of this guide. For the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe and ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G I will use in the following the PCIe Slot nomenclature depicted below: ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe: ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G: The verification and likely adaptation/modification can be performed by the help of IORegistryExplorer. How to adopted or modify the ACPI DSDT Replacement Patches and System SSDT implementations is detailed within this short guideline by means of the OSXWIFI PCIe Adaptor implementation in PCIe Slot-3. I hope that by this specific example it rapidly becomes evident that the correct PCI Device implementation cannot be outlined for each individual "build-in" or "slot-specific" PCI device within this guide. The complexity and effort would just exceed by far all available capacities and indeed require the implementation of a separate guide and thread in addition. I therefore hope on your skills and flexibility to extend and apply the approach and methodology detailed above to any other "build-in" or "slot-specific" PCI device yet to be adopted or implementedImportant Note: It is strongly recommend to perform a stepwise SSDT PCI Device implementation, starting with one single specific PCI device. Once this PCI device has been successfully implemented, another SSDT PCI Device module can be added and verified. In case that the implementation of a specific PCI Device would be erroneous and fail, it would simply disappear from Section "PCI" of Apple's System report. To facilitate the stepwise PCI device implementation, the former SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml has been split into separated modules now forming part of my X299-System-SSDTs Github repository. Also keep always in mind to modify/adopt the ACPI replacements in your config.plist in parallel when ever necessary! Note once more that the ACPI DSDT Replacements in config.plist and System SSDTs require SMBIOS iMacPro1,1. E.9.1) ACPI DSDT Replacement Implementation Note once more that all required ACPI DSDT Replacements are already implemented in the config.plist in the /EFI/CLOVER/ directory of my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution or are directly part of the System SSDTs provided in my X299-System-SSDTs Github repository. In the config.plist, the ACPI DSDT Replacements are disabled by default, thus we will now open the config.plist in the /EFI/CLOVER/ directory of our 10.14 System Disk EFI-Folder with Clover Configurator and stepwise adopt (if necessary) and enable the different required DSDT replacement patches in Clover Configurator Section "ACPI" under "DSDT patches", by also discussing their respective function and impact. a.) The PC00 -> PCI0 ACPI DSDT replacement patch has the main aim to achieve a SMBIOS iMacPro1,1specific PCI implementation. Note that under SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 all other PC0x definitions remain unchanged. Please enable now the PC0x -> PCIx ACPI DSDT replacement patch. Comment: Find*[Hex] Replace [Hex] PC00 -> PCI0 50433030 50434930 b.) OSI -> XOSI, EC0_ -> EC__ and H_EC -> EC__ are once more ACPI DSDT replacement patches to achieveconsistency with the SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 variable naming. i.) XOSI functionality is required as explained by @RehabMan. The ACPI code can use the_OSI method (implemented by the ACPI host) to check which Windows version is running. Most DSDT implementations will vary the USB configuration depending on the active Windows version. When running OS X, none of the DSDT _OSI("Windows <version>") checks will return "true" as there is only response from "Darwin". This issue can be solved by implementing the "OS Check Fix" family of DSDT patches in the SSDT. By DSDT patching we can simulate a certain version of Windows although running Darwin and we can obtain a system behaviour similar to a windows version specific environment. ii.) On the Asus X299 Prime Deluxe / WS X299 Sage 10G and most likely on all other X299 mobos we have the EC0 and H_EC controllers,which have to be renamed to 'EC' for proper USB power management. Thus once more investigate your mainboard specific IOREG entry and enable both EC0_ -> EC__ or and H_EC -> EC__ DSDT Replacement Patches. Comment: Find*[Hex] Replace [Hex] OSI -> XOSI 5f4f5349 584f5349 EC0_ -> EC__ 4543305f 45435f5f H_EC -> EC__ 485f4543 45435f5f c.) The HEC1 -> IMEI and IDER->MEID ACPI DSDT Replacement patches are Intel Management Engine Interface relatedand are vital as MacOS requires the variable names "IMEI" and "MEID" to load the 'AppleIntelMEIDriver'. The latter functionality solves the 'iTunes/Apple Store Content Access Problem' which is discussed here. Please enable now both ACPI DSDT Replacement patches independent from your mainboard. Comment: Find*[Hex] Replace [Hex] HEC1 -> IMEI 48454331 494d4549 IDER->MEID 49444552 4d454944 d.) The LPC0 -> LPCB ACPI DSDT Replacement Patch is AppleLPC and SMBus related and is applied for consistency withthe variable naming on a real Mac. Note that LPCB injects AppleLPC, which however is not required in the X299 environment. X299 Systems seem to have sleep problems with the SMBus properties injected. Thus, LPCB will not be implemented by means of any SSDT. Please enable now this ACPI DSDT replacement patch independent from your mainboard. Comment: Find*[Hex] Replace [Hex] LPC0 -> LPCB 4c504330 4c504342 e.) FPU_->MATH, TMR_->TIMR, PIC_->IPIC are all ACPI DSDT Replacement Patches for consistency with the variablenaming on a real Mac. The variables are however functionless on either our X299 boards or real Macs. Please enable now all three ACPI DSDT Replacement Patches independent from your mainboard. Comment: Find*[Hex] Replace [Hex] FPU_ -> MATH 4650555f 4d415448 TMR_ -> TIMR 544d525f 54494d52 PIC_ -> IPIC 5049435f 49504943 f.) The SMBS._ADR -> XSBU.XADR Replacement frees SBUS two show up in IOREG. In principle we have two devices with the same address, one called SMBS and the other one called SBUS. SBUS will never show up in IOREG as long SMBS exists. But SBUS is exactly the variable we need in concordance with the IOREG from the iMacPro Dump.

The DSM -> XDSM DSDT replacement patch is vital for loading the SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml, as all DSM methods used in theoriginal DSDT do have a not compatible structure totally different from the real Mac environment. Without any fix, all DSM methods would be simply ignored. Note that one single device can have only one DSM method, which can assign additional properties to the respective device. Thus please enable the latter DSDT replacement patch completely independent from your mainboard! Comment: Find*[Hex] Replace [Hex] _DSM -> XDSM 5f44534d 5844534d h.) The 56 CPxx -> PRxx replacements are i9-7980XE specific and result in a proper CPU core reordering as well as in a iMac Pro specific CPU core variable naming. All i9-7980XE users can now enable all 56 CPxx -> PRxx replacements. All users of CPUs different from the i9-7980XE have to adopt/modify the 56 CPxx -> PRxx replacements in concordance with their original IOREG CPU core values.

How to adopted or modify ACPI path, ACPI replacements and respective SSDT Device definitions is detailed within this short guideline by means of the OSXWIFI PCIe Adaptor implementation in PCIe Slot-3 of the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe. Further note, that any PCIe devices in respective PCIe slots on e.g. the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G, sharing the same PCI device on different PCI bridges, like PC02.BR2A.SL05 in case of the ANS1 NVME controller in Slot-1 (PCI bridge @10) and in case of the ARPT OSXWIFI Broadcom BCM94360CD BT/WIFI PCIe Adapter in Slot-3 (PCI bridge @08), need to be implemented in the same system SSDT, like in case of SSDT-X299-Slot1-Slot3-PC02-BR2A-SL05-ANS-ARPT.aml for the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G.Note that each SSDT contains a DefinitionBlock entry and the underlying PCI device implementation. In case of necessary modifications/adaptations, don't forget to also modify/adapt the respective DefinitionBlock entries in concordance with your IOREG entries. The entire SSDT structure is now completely module like. Each module can be independently added, changed or removed in dependence of your specific build, needs and requirements. A stepwise implementation of the individual PCI device modules is highly recommended!E.9.2.1) - HDEF - onboard PCI Audio Controller PCI Implementation:The SSDT-X299-HDEF.aml onboard Realtek ALC S1220A Audio Controller chipset HDEF PCI device implementation is valid for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe / ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G and likely for all other mainboards with the same Audio Controller chipset. It is a build-in device and does not have any slot specific dependency. Note the CAVS -> HDEF replacement directly performed within the SSDT!E.9.2.2) - GFX0, HDAU - GPU and HDMI/DP Audio PCI implementation: A.) Radeon RX Vega 64 GPUs The SSDT-X299-Vega.aml GFX0 and HDAU PCI device implementation is valid for SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 (GFX0), the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe and any Radeon RX Vega 64 GPU implemented in PCIe Slot 1.It is a build and PCIe slot population dependent device implementation. Vega GPU users with more than one graphics card, with with a Vega graphics card in a PCIe slot different from PCIe Slot 1 or with a mainboard different from the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe, will have to adopt the respective device path entries PC02.BR2A, ACPI DSDT replacements and PCIe Slot definition following their respective IOREG entries. Note in this context the actual SL05 -> PEGP ACPI DSDT replacements directly performed within the SSDT.The above default Vega PCI device implementation performs an OC of an air-flow Nitro+ Vega 64 GPU of up to 1630 Mhz while considering an IDLE fan speed of 1500 Mhz. This seems sufficient to remain with GPU temps of about 80 deg C under GPU load conditions (e.g. Valley Benchmark), while not exceeding any comfortable noise level.The latter Vega properties are achieved by means of a sophisticated "PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable" and "PP_DisablePowerContainment" and "PP_FuzzyFanControl" SSDT implementation.Everybody can change the respective Vega properties by means of VTGTab-en.app, which provides a modified "PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable" (output-file VegaTab_64_data.txt), which can replace the "PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable", currently implemented in my SSDT-X299-Vega.aml distribution. E.g. users with a water-blocked Nitro+ Vega 64 like myself want to further screw the max. GPU OC frequencies, etc., while others might want to further improve the fan speed behaviour on air-flow Vegas..Below the "PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable" for my custom water-blocked Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64 8B, with P7 Core Frequency of 1680 Mhz, P7 Core Voltage of 1200 mV, P3 Memory Frequency of 1050 Mhz and a Memory Voltage of 1350 mV.

Don't forget to backup the original firmware, in case you return it to the seller! This thread might provide additional information in this context: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/amd-polaris-vega-gpu-macos-support.2083168/.As already mentioned before, within my current Vega SSDT PCI device implementation, all available ports on the Gigabyte Vega 64 (3x HDMI, 3x DP), including multi-monitor support and display hot plug are automatically and successfully implemented. However, it seems that DP-port issues (black screen) remain, when employing the respective Vega SSDT PCI device implementation on Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64 (2x HDMI, 2xDP) or ASUS Strix Vega 64 (2x HDMI, 2x DP, 1x DVI) GPUs, which only can be removed by adding Whatevergreen.kext v.1.2.2. Within such configuration, multi-monitor support and display hot plug can be fully achieved also in case of the latter custom Vegas (both 10.13.6 and 10.14.0). Whatevergreen.kext only seems required for all Vegas possessing less than 6 physical ports (including the original Vegas like Frontier and Vega 64), else the current Vega SSDT PCI device implementation does pretty well it's job, including successful system sleep/wake.. SSDT-X299-Vega-Frontier.aml contains former Kamarang frame buffer SSDT implementation by @apfelnico for 1x Radeon Vega Frontier in PCIe Slot 1 of ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe. For any AMD RX Vega 64 in Slot-5 under PCI device PC01.BR1A.SL01 on PCI bridge @10, one finds a dedicated system SSDT SSDT-X299-Slot5-PC01-BR1A-SL01-Vega64.aml in the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G subdirectory of the X299 SSDT Github repository. Be careful though, the implemented OC load table is for my water blocked Nitro+ RX Vega 64 and should not be used for any Vegas with air flow fan cooling. Latter users should implement the load table from SSDT-X299-Vega64.aml for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe or generate their own GPU load table suited for their respective Vega 64 hardware implementation. B.) Radeon VII, Vega56, RX560 and RX580 GPUsNote that there also Radeon VII, Vega56, RX580 and RX560 SSDTs available in my X299 SSDT Github repository, which likely need to be adopted depending on your motherboard and GPU PCIe slot population by following your original IOREG ACPI table information. C.) Nvidia GPUs The actual SSDT-X299-Nvidia.aml GFX0 and HDAU PCI device implementation is valid for SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 (GFX0), the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe and any Nvidia Graphics Card implemented in PCIe Slot 1.It is a build and PCIe slot population dependent device implementation. Nvidia Graphics Card users with more than one graphics card, with a Nvidia graphics card in a PCIe slot different from PCIe Slot 1 or with a mainboard different form the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe, will have to adopt the respective device path entries PC02.BR2A, ACPI DSDT replacements and PCIe Slot definitions following their respective IOREG entries. Note in this context the actual SL05 -> PEGP and PEGP -> GFX0 ACPI replacements directly performed within the SSDT.Also note that with 10.13.4, Apple changed the com.apple.driver.AppleHDAController implementation. To make the NVIDIA HDAU PCI device driver work for e.g. a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, one needs to add the following KextToPatch entry in Section "Kernel and kext Patches" of Clover Configurator, as already implemented but yet disabled in the config.plist contained in my actual respective X299 EFI-Folder distribution: Name* Find* [HEX] Replace* [HEX] Comment com.apple.driver.AppleHDAController DE100B0E DE10EF10 FredWst DP/HDMI patch Thus, please all Nvidia users enable and like adopt the NVIDIA HDAU patch for your particular Nvidia GPU in dependence of the respective device-id.Credits to @FreedWst and thanks to @fabiosun for pointing me to this solution. Users of Whatevergreen.kext might be able to drop this KextToPatch entry, as the latter kext already properly implements the Nvidia HDAU PCI driver. E.9.2.3) - PMCR - onboard Power Management Controller (PMC) PCI Implementation:The SSDT-X299-PMCR.aml onboard Power Management PMCR PCI device implementation should be valid for all X299 mainboards and should not require any build specific adaptation/modification. Note the PMC1 -> PMCR ACPI replacement directly performed within the SDDT.E.9.2.4) - USBX:When using the XHCI device name for USB (see the XHCI PCI Device Implementation below), one observes a bunch of USB Power Errors when booting the system.

Verify and adopt/modify if necessary device path "PCI0.XHCI" and XHCI PCI device implementation by means of IOREG.E.9.2.6) - XHC2,3,4 - ASMedia ASM3142 USB 3.1 Controller PCI Implementation:The SSDT-X299-XHC.aml onboard ASMedia ASM3142/ASM1543 USB 3.1 XHC2,XHC3,XHC4 controller PCI device implementation is valid for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe and for all other X299 mainboards with the same XHC USB3.1 controller ASMedia ASM3142 chipset configuration. Note the following ACPI ReplacementsPCI0.RP01.PXSX -> PCI0.RP01.XHC2PCI0.RP05.PXSX -> PCI0.RP01.XHC3PCI0.RP07.PXSX -> PCI0.RP01.XHC4within the SSDT in concordance with the respective SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 variable naming. Verify and adopt/modify if necessary the corresponding "PCI0.RP01.XHC2", "PCI0.RP05.XHC3", "PCI0.RP07.XHC4" PCI device implementations by means of IOREG. Note that there is a separate SSDT-X299-XHC.aml device implementation for the ASMedia ASM3142 USB3.1 XHC1 and XHC2 controllers on the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G in the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G subdirectory of the X299 SSDT Github repository.E.9.2.7) ANS1, ANS2 - Apple NVMe Controller PCI Implementation:The SSDT-X299-ANS.aml Apple NVMe Controller ANS1 and ANS2 PCI implementations are of purely cosmetic nature and are valid for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe. Note the following ACPI ReplacementsPCI0.RP09.PXSX -> PCI0.RP09.ANS1PCI0.RP21.PXSX -> PCI0.RP21.ANS2performed within the SDDT in concordance with the respective SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 variable naming.Verify and adopt/modify if necessary the "PCI0.RP09.ANS1" and "PCI0.RP21.ANS2" PCI device implementations by means of IOREG. Note that there is a separate SSDT-X299-ANS.aml device implementation for the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G in the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G subdirectory of the X299 SSDT Github repository.E.9.2.8) - SAT1 - Intel AHCI SATA Controller PCI Implementation:The SSDT-X299-SAT1.aml onboard Intel AHCI SATA controller PCI device implementation is valid for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe / ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G and for all other X299 mainboards with the same AHCI SATA controller chipset. Verify and adopt/modify if necessary device path "PCI0.SAT1" and PCI device implementations by means of IOREG.E.9.2.9) - THSS - Intel Thermal Subsystem Controller Implementation:The SSDT-X299-THSS.aml onboard Intel X299 Series Thermal Subsystem controller PCI device implementation, recently provided by @apfelnico is valid for the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe / ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G and for all other ASUS X299 mainboards with the same Thermal Subsystem controller chipset.E.9.2.10) XGBE - 10GBit NIC Implementation:SSDT-X299-ACQU.aml, SSDT-X299-X540-T1.aml and SSDT-X299-P2EI0G-2T.aml perform a XGBE (XGBF) PCI implementation of an Acquantia AQC107-AFW, Intel X540-T1 and Small-Tree P2EI0G-2T 10GB NIC, respectively and are mainly of cosmetic nature. For each PCIe Adapter and for different PCIe slot populations or mainboard implementations, the XGBE PCI device implementation needs to be adopted/modified accordingly. This also states for the respective ACPI path entries "PC03", "BR3A" and respective SL09 -> PEGP and PEGP -> XGBE ACPI Replacements (in compliance with the iMac Pro 10GB ACPI variable nomenclature), directly performed within each SSDT. Note that there is a separate XGBE/XGBF PCI device implementation SSDT-X299-ETH.aml available for the 2x Intel X550-AT2 10GB onboard NICs of the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G, which one finds in the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G subdirectory of the X299 SSDT Github repository.E.9.2.11) - ETH0/ETH1 - onboard LAN Controller PCI Implementation:Note that the SSDT-X299-ETH.aml Intel I219V2 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet and Intel I211VA PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet onboard LAN controller ETH0/ETH1 PCI implementations are of pure cosmetic nature and only valid for ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe or X299 mainboards with the same LAN Controller configuration. Owners of different X299 mainboards have to verify and adopt/modify if necessary the device these PCI device implementations by means of IOREG. Note the PCI0.GBE1 -> PCI0.ETH0, PCI0.RP02.D0A4 -> PCI0.RP02.PXSX and PCI0.RP02.PXSX -> PCI0.RP02.ETH1 ACPI replacements directly performed within the SSDT. Note that there are no onboard 1GB hardware implementations on the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G, thus E.9.2.11 can be skipped entirely by all users of the latter motherboard. E.9.2.12) - ARPT - OSX WIFI Broadcom BCM94360CD 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth 4.0 AirPort Controller PCI Implementation:The SSDT-X299-ARPT.aml OSX WIFI Broadcom BCM94360CD 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac + Bluetooth 4.0 AirPort Controller PCI device implementation is of pure cosmetic nature and only valid for users of the latter WIFI/Bluetooth PCIe Adapter in PCIe Slot 3 of the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe. Users of this PCIe Adapter within a PCIe slot population different from PCIe Slot 3 or on a mainboard different form the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe have to likely adapt/modify the respective device path "PC03","BR3D","ARPT" and likely also the respective ACPI Replacements PC03.BR3D.SL0C -> PC03.BR3D.PEGP and PC03.BR3D.PEGP -> PC03.BR3D.ARPT, directly performed within the SSDT. Users of the Asus Prime X299 Deluxe onboard Bluetooth chipset controller or with a completely different WIFI/Bluetooth configuration have to adopt the entire Airport PCI implementation by means of IOREG. On the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G, the ANS2 NVME controller in Slot-1 (PCI bridge @10) and the ARPT OSXWIFI Broadcom BCM94360CD BT/WIFI PCIe Adapter in Slot-3 (PCI bridge @08) share the same PCI device on different PCI bridges and therefore need to be implemented within the same system SSDT, namely SSDT-X299-Slot1-Slot3-PC02-BR2A-SL05-ANS-ARPT.aml, which one finds in the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G subdirectory of the X299 SSDT Github repository. E.9.2.13) - GC-Titan Ridge / GC-Alpine Ridge / ASUS TBEX 3 Thunderbolt HotPlug System Implementation:The current Thunderbolt development carefully focuses on iMac Pro SSDT-9.aml and DSDT.aml from @TheOfficialGypsy 's iMac Pro dump, which appear to be the cornerstone for a correct, proper and complete Thunderbolt Hackintosh Local Node implementation.The current development status is briefly reflected in posts and Constructive contributions by experts are highly desired.Until reaching a complete Thunderbolt Hackintosh Local Node implementation, SSDT-X299-TB3HP.aml constitute workarounds for achieving TB HotPlug and USB-C HotPlug functionality with the respective GC-Titan Ridge, GC-Alpine Ridge and TBEX 3 Add-In adapters. For all TB3 SSDTs provided above, partial contributions by by @apfelnico, @nmano, @Mork vom Ork, @Matthew82, @maleorderbride and @TheRacerMaster shall be mentioned and outlined. Their use with mainboards different from ASUS and within PCIe slot populations different from PCIe Slot 4 requires the adaptation/modification of respective ACPI path definitions ("PC01", "BR1A") or ACPI DSDT Table replacements (SL01 -> PEGP and PEGP -> UPSB), directly performed within the SSDTs. Video: GC-Titan Ridge TB HotPlug + TB USB-C HotPlug under macOS Mojave 10.14.0 GC-Titan Ridge + ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe + SSDT-X299-TB3HP-TTR.aml +TB HotPlug TB + TB USB-C HotPlug successfully verified under macOS Mojave 10.14.0 Klick the link below to see the video: https://youtu.be/8P0X5Z7giEg Like always, I verified TB HotPlug with my 5 TB Lacie Rugged Thunderbolt 2 HDD (+ Apple TB3 -> TB2 adopter) and TB USB-C HotPlug with my Transcend JetFlash 850 USB 3.1 Type-C Stick. In the meanwhile, I also successfully verified GC-Titan Ridge + ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe + SSDT-X299-TB3HP-TTR.aml +TB HotPlug TB + TB USB-C HotPlug under macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 I also successfully verified the GC-Titan Ridge DisplayPort 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.4 HotPlug functionality as well as the Kanex Premium USB-C -> HDMI 4K Adapter and Kanex Premium USB-C -> HDMI 4K Adapter HotPlug functionality. Remaining issues: With the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe, one faces a black screen (KP) issue on wake from sleep with TB devices connected to the GC-Titan Ridge during sleep. The issue can be omitted by disconnecting TB devices primer to system sleep. There are no sleep/wake issues with USB-C devices connected to the GC-Titan Ridge. Note that there is a separate SSDT-X299-TB3H.aml for TB3 Add-in PCIe adapters in Slot-2 under PCI0.RP05.PXSX of the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G, which is also compatible with the ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe II onboard TTR implementation and accessible in the ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G subdirectory of the X299 SSDT Github repository. Test on GC-TTR / ASUS WS X299 Sage 10G functionality/compatibility are currently ongoing. E.9.2.14) - DTGP Method: SSDT-DTPG.aml is mandatory for all SSDT implementations listed above (note the external DTPG method call in the definition block of each respective SSDT) and must be always part of /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched.. External (DTGP, MethodObj) // 5 Arguments (from opcode) E.9.2.15) - Debugging Sleep Issues: For debugging sleep issues as proposed by Pike Alpha, one can add SSDT-SLEEP.aml to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched and follow Pike's comment and advices provided at https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2017/01/12/debugging-sleep-issues/ E.10) iMac Pro Boot Splash Screen Cosmetics Based on the ideas and instructions of @Matthew82, I achieved an iMacPro ASUS Boot Splash Screen by means of the following procedure: 1.) Installation of the BREW distribution (if not already performed in Section B.1): a.) Open a terminal and change to "bash" shell. bash b.) Now enter the following "bash" terminal command and follow the standard BREW installation instructions: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" 2.) After the successful installation of the BREW distribution, we have to implement the QT5 distribution, again by using a "bash" terminal shell. If not already performed in Section B1.), just enter the following "bash" terminal commands: brew install qt5 brew link qt5 --force 3.) After successfully implementing BREW and QT5 and if not already performed in Section B.1), we can now download the actual CodeRush UEFIPatch distribution from Github to our home directory with the following terminal command: git clone https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool 4.) Now compile the UEFI Tool distribution with the following terminal commands: cd /UEFITools/ qmake uefitool.pro make 5.) Download and unzip iMacPro.raw to your Desktop. 6.) Now launch by UEFITool by clicking on the newly compiled UEFITool.app in the UEFITools Folder in your home directory. a.) Select "File" -> "Open image file" and load your patched or unpatched BIOS Firmware distribution. Select "Search.." in the UEFITool "Edit" Menu and perform a "GUID" search of "7BB28B99-61BB-11D5-9A5D-0090273FC14D" with "Header only"... You will receive a message "GUID pattern "7BB28B99-61BB-11D5-9A5D-0090273FC14D" found as .... in 7BB28B99-....". Double click on that message and search for the "Raw section" accompanying the "7BB28B99-...." entry, which indeed is the Boot Image, which you can easily verify by extracting the raw section body (right-click on "Raw section" and select "Extract body") to your Desktop and by subsequently opening the extracted raw-file directly with Apple's "Preview.app" (right-click an the raw file and select "Open with.." -> Preview.app). b.) To exchange the default original ASUS Boot Logo image file stored in "Raw Section" by the iMacPro.raw image file that you previously downloaded to your Desktop, right-click again on "Raw section", select this time "Replace body" and select the iMacPro.raw image file on your Desktop. Note that the actual image dimension of iMacPro.raw (2131pix x 1457pix) was adopted for its use on my 38" LG 38UC99. For monitors with reduce screen resolution, iMacPro.raw might have to be adopted to an image dimension that suites your particular screen resolution, before its upload to "Raw section". If the Boot Logo image dimension is too big for your Monitor's screen resolution, you might just end up with a black screen during the BIOS initialisation at boot. To do so, select in the Preview.app Menu -> "Tools" -> "Adjust Size". Change the image dimension and save the modified image with "File" -> "Export". In the "Export menu" press "Save", after selecting "JPEG" under "Format" , after choosing "Desktop" as the place to store the image, and after entering the new file name, which has to end with ".jpg". Double-check by right-clicking on the resulting jpg image file and selecting "Get Info" that its file size does no exceed 200KB by far. If the latter would be the case, you would not be able to save the modified BIOS Firware file subsequently. Finally just rename your new "XXXX.jpg" file to "XXXX.raw.... I guess, that by following the procedure detailed above, it is obvious that iMacPro.raw also can be substituted by any other image of your personal choice. Just be aware that it's background colour should be black (ecstatic reason for a its nice integration within the else black ASUS BIOS Boot Screen) c.) After replacing "Raw Section" with iMacPro.raw or the XXX.raw image of your choice, save your modified BIOS Firmware File with the Option "File" -> "Save Image File..." d.) Copy your modified BIOS Firmware file to a USB3.0 Flash Drive, formatted with FAT32. e.) Reboot, enter the Mainboard BIOS and save your BIOS settings to the USB Flash Drive f.) Flash your mainboard BIOS with the modified BIOS Firmware g.) Renter the Mainboard BIOS and restore your BIOS settings from the USB Flash Drive h.) Save your restored BIOS settings with (F7) and (F10), reboot and you are done. Just don't forget to set BIOS Setting "Boot Logo Display" to "Auto", when using this new approach. Any different setting might result in a black screen during BIOS initialisation. E.11) iMac Pro Desktop Background cosmetics It might be nice to equip your iMac Pro X299 also with the adequate iMac Pro Desktop Background. 1.) Download, unzip and copy imac-pro-wallpaper.jpg.zip to your Dektop 2.) Right-click with the mouse on your Desktop and select "Change Desktop Background.." 3.) In the left column click on the "+" and add your Desktop Folder 4.) Select imac-pro-wallpaper.jpg to be your new Desktop Background E.12) iStatMenus Hardware Monitoring Thanks to extended tweet session between @BJango, @gxsolace and myself, it seems that we achieved a major step forward in properly monitoring Skylake-X/X299 Hardware with iStatMenus. iStatMenus now correctly interfaces with the HWSensor and FakeSMC kext distribution provided by @interferenc. The actual iStatMenus v6.2 distribution can be assessed at https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/ The actual HWSensor and FakeSMC kext distribution of @interferenc can be assessed at https://github.com/interferenc/HWSensors To compile the the HWSensor and FakeSMC kexts of @interferenc, 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/. Many thanks to both @interferenc and @Bjango for their awesome and extensive contributions and brilliant work! Note that I recently modified the Kozlek/Interferenc Source Code distribution locally to also support GPU Temp sensor information for all Vegas and the new Radeon VII. In my recent 10.14 X299 EFI-Folder distributions, the resulting FakeSMC.kext and HWSensor.kexts supporting all Vegas already have been implemented by default in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other. The actual 10.14.5 Beta X299 EFI-Folder distribution contains FakeSMC.kext and HWSensor.kexts also supporting the new Radeon VII. Skylake-X/X299 iStatMenus Hardware Sensor Data: Skylake-X CPU Thread Utilisation Graphs: To change from CPU core to thread utilisation monitoring, uncheck "Hide Hyper-Threading cores" in Section "CPU & GPU" of iStatMenus Preferences. Temperature unites can be adjusted between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin in Section "Sensors" of iStatMenus Preferences. F.) Benchmarking F.1) Sylake-X Intel I9-7980XE (4.7GHz) CPU Benchmarking Jesus F.2) Sapphire Nitro+ RX Vega 64 8GB G.) Summary and Conclusion Already under macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Syklake-X/X299 systems reached full functionality together with flawless stability. Now with macOS 10.14 Mojave, it might be another opportunity to follow my iMac Pro Build and Desktop Guide to unfold the unbelievable Skylake-X/X299 potential! High-end builds based on extremely novel Skylake-X/X299 technology have found manifold application, not only in science and research at universities or research institutions, engineering facilities, or medical labs, etc... Skylake-X processors with up to 18 cores (36 threads) and turbo frequencies up to 4.8 GHz have made X299 to a "relatively cheap" but really serious alternative to real iMac Pro's and Mac Pro's. The principal intention of my desktop guides is to demonstrate, that we are able to build and configure fully functional and relatively "low-cost" high-end systems, which go far beyond of what Apple is able to offer at present or will be ever able to offer for some reasonable pricing. Skylake-X/X299-Systems, that allow the use of all software-packages developed for MacOS, Unix, Linux or even Windows at the same time (e.g. think on Vine, Parallels, or a dual boot system configuration). The flexibility between different mainboards (Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock, MSI, etc.), different Skylake-X processors, and different RAM memory configurations (16-128GB) make such systems affordable for anybody (also home office, audio and video editing/production, etc.) and allows their perfect adaptation for each specific purpose, requirement and available budget. It might not be necessary to outline, that current Skylake-X/X299 Systems perform absolutely stable on a 24/7/365 basis. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Allan, thanks for the flowers :-) yes, cannot edit or find thread and originating post that I created to come up with an iMac Pro X99 macOS Mojave Guide in addition. Tow days ago I published a first draft, which should be subsequently filled up with content like in case of X299. Here the link: I just reach to a blank screen, when clicking on the link above.. Can you fix that for me, thus I can continue with my work?

Did you managed to get Graphics Acceleration over Pascal GPUs? I patched latest HS Webdriver, GPU is it recognized correctly but i don't have any graphics acceleration. Like you, I am running patched WEB Driver xxx.35.106 for 10.13.5: correct display resolution, some video acceleration, HDAU working. No OpenGL or Metal 2 support though! And here are the quite sad news for now. After some chat with Ray from Nvidia (he supported the Web Driver implementation for special OSX build iMac Pro) I am anything else than optimistic that a Web Driver would be released within the next days. Hi KGP, I can leave your case open, and if there are any new information I can share then I'll let you know. Best regards, Ray ------------ Hi Ray, well these are indeed not very promising news. I really hope that we will not have to wait until September/October to see a working Web Driver like in 2017. This might be the end of Nvidia products on many Hackintosh systems. Thanks for all your efforts and the quick response anyway. I hope my incident will remain open though. Kind regards, KGP ------------ Hi KGP, I am sorry but unfortunately I was not able to get any details with regards to NVIDIA Web driver support for 10.14 Mojave. Development have no information to share at the moment so there is really not much more I can add. I will certainly let you know if anything changes. Best regards, Ray ------------ Hi Ray, many thanks for your reply. Gorgeous that you check with your development team to get my input. I am already writing up the first X299 and X99 guides for 10.14 Mojave DP1 Systems are up and perfectly performing, apart from Nvidia graphics. All I am missing and the entire community desires is a working Nvidia Web Driver for the 10.14 Mojave Betas. I really hope that you will come back to me with gorgeous news for all off us, which also shall be of large benefit for NVIDIA. Kind regards, KGP --------------- Hi KGP, I don't have any information with regards to NVIDIA Web driver support for this OS. Let me check with our development team to get this input. Let me get back to you on this. If there are information I can share then I will definitely update right away. Best regards, Ray ----------- [Retaking conversation few days ago.] Dear Ray, I just succeeded in installing macOS Mojave 10.14 DP1 (18A293u). I tried to patch web driver xxx.35.106 for macOS High Sierra 10.13.5, but no way to get it work under 10.14 DP1. Now everything depends on Nvidia. I would like to publish a new iMac Pro 10.14 Desktop guide. I really hope that Nvidia will provide us with a Web Driver for all upcoming macOS Mojave 10.14 Betas. I would really like to further promote your products along my Desktop Guides, which reach hundreds of thousands of potential Nvidia Clients. Looking forward to receive your positive reply as soon as possible, KGP ------------------- [Originating answer from 05/09/2018] Hi Klaus, Unfortunately I don't have much insight into release schedules for NVIDIA Web drivers, but I will be happy to forward your feedback to the development manager for review and consideration. I agreed with you that there are certainly room for improvement but I just don't know how much of this is due to Apple's release policy. I know that for many of the Apple's OS updates we don't get any advanced noticed for their release date, so the NVIDIA Web driver will always lag behind. I'm not in development so I really can't comment too much on the NVIDIA Web driver release schedule. Again I will be happy to forward your input to the development manager. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Best regards, Ray --------------- [Originating reuqest from 05/09/2018] Hi Ray, Writing you after long time :-) First at all, congratulations to NVIDIA's latest web drivers! 387.10.10.10.30.106 and 387.10.10.10.30.107 work absolutely brilliant with all NVIDA GPUs and finally also removed some remaining lag in the macOS High Sierra UI. The user feedback was extremely and exclusively positiv! The reason for writing you however is another :-) You know 4th June 2018 is approaching (WWDC) - And we are all waiting for 10.14 beta 1.. As soon the first beta will be released, I will come up with a new iMac Pro Hackintosh guide, which hopefully will be as successful as the one for 10.13. Knowing the NVIDIA policy and guidelines I however fear, that all Nvidia users again will be without any Web Driver Support during the 10.14 betas for more than 3-4 months. Lot of arguing and complains from the NVIDIA user side already during 10.13 betas last year. All Nvidia users have been very deceived with Nvidia’s strategy not to provide any Web Driver for 10.13 betas before it’s finally release.. Many changed to ATI GPUs.. It would be absolutely gorgeous if we could do it better this time! Any chance to come up with a 10.14 beta web driver with the release of 10.14 beta 1 in June 2018? If the latter works, there would not be any real necessity for NVIDIA to keep the driver permanently updated during the individual 10.14 betas. We are all now familiar with repacking a working web driver to be compatible with future iterations of the same macOS. It is a dream of mine to avoid any gap in the web driver support. I cross all fingers that we will be able to manage. Eagerly waiting for your reply :-) Warm regards, KGP ________ Edited June 11, 2018 by KGP-iMacPro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Nvidia hardware acceleration working for UI and transparency effects for 1080Ti ? Thanks, man! Nvidia Hardware acceleration working for UI, although without transparent effects.. No OpenGL and no Metal2 support. Basic Video acceleration though. The performance of patched Web Driver 10.13.5 is a little bit better than the one of patched web driver 10.12.6 used during the 10.13 betas in 2017.

Tony Arnold Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 @KGP-iMacPro what does disabling Above 4G Decoding in the ThunderBolt 3 instructions do? I've read in a few places that this setting causes instability in ASUS Prime X299 Deluxe motherboards, but haven't seen any further detail than that.

Honestly I have not seen any advantage or disadvantage in enabling or disabling Above 4G decoding on X299. I usually disabled it therefore.

PunkNugget Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi KGP, It's just me Punk. Just wanted to reach out as I emailed you a few times within the week and was looking forward to a reply. I'm sure you're busy, but when you have time, I look forward to your reply. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkNugget Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi KGP, I just tried to follow the steps to acquire the file you mentioned that I needed: 4.) To avoid Skylake-X thread TSC desynchronisation errors during boot and wake from S3 with unpatched X299 mainboards, likely induced by yet erroneous Skylake-X BIOS microcode implementations, we need to use TSCAdjustReset.kext provided by @interferenc in the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ directory of both USB Flash Drive and System Disk. To access TSCAdjustRest.kext, download primarily its source distribution from Github with the following terminal command: git clone https://github.com/interferenc/TSCAdjustReset Subsequently copy the TSCAdjustRest source distribution to your Desktop using the following terminal command: mv /TSCAdjustReset ~/Desktop Unfortunately, It gave me this reply in Terminal: Last login: Sun Jul 8 13:17:23 on console Mypc-iMac:~ mypc$ -bash: mypc: command not found Mypc-iMac:~ mypc$ git clone https://github.com/interferenc/TSCAdjustReset Cloning into 'TSCAdjustReset'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/interferenc/TSCAdjustReset/': The requested URL returned error: 400 Mypc-iMac:~ mypc$ mv /TSCAdjustReset ~/Desktop mv: rename /TSCAdjustReset to /Users/mypc/Desktop/TSCAdjustReset: No such file or directory Mypc-iMac:~ mypc$ So obviously I'm doing something wrong that it won't post this file to my desktop. I did go here and downloaded the zip file: https://github.com/interferenc/TSCAdjustReset Anything else that I need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for letting me know this. When you say "adopt the file for your CPU." I have no idea what that means. I know I just emailed you my reply, but what I'm going to do (as I mentioned before), I'm going to wait until the full version of Mojave (10.4.X) comes out and when it does I will take two to three days of focused time and follow your updated steps and then go back and forth with my questions that I will have then. Thank you again for your dedication and help. On a side note, for anyone who reads this, we benefit off of men like KGP who contribute their time and effort (quite honestly to have the best Hackintosh setup out there currently). I know to some it may not mean much, but if there is any type of contribution that we can give KGP (if you haven't yet), then if you can, please find a way to contribute towards his efforts. By the way KGP never asked me to do this, I'm just saying this as he has been a amazing help to me and the rest of us who have this particular setup. I like having a Mac Pro system that runs circles around the current Mac Pro for half the cost and it's faster! Thanks again KGP!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering where is "C.7)?" I couldn't find here. All I could find was C.5) then it went straight to C.9). Maybe I'm looking at the wrong section.
