None of what is happening to you should be happening.

are you using my bios settings? Are you using my Bios Profile?

Have you added or changed whatever EFI of mine your trying to use?

if it’s crashing then there’s a reason for it and as for you boot failures dragging you into the bios.....

That is also not meant to be happening and again it leads me to wonder wasn’t you have done wrong?

you need to fill in your signature with your spec so I or anybody else knows what your system is or we can’t help pal as we are not psychic.

I use your profile. I disabled above 4g decoding as I then have issues with the bios not showing up during boot. I also changed the power button behavior. And it looks like i have an issue with the ram, as it doesn't really like the xmp settings.

 

I can try other rams in a couple of days and I let it now run with stock settings.

Instead of using XMP try dealing your ram speed manually.

what make and model ram is it bud?

hmm, just wondering where I can configure my signature? Ah found it. Interests :-)


Yeah definitely try dealing in the speed manually for the memory. That should work with your ram.

also I notice your using a ADATA NVMe ......Hmmmmmm I’m not sure about the compatibility of the ssd with macOS, if your using OpenCore you might want to consider using there NVMe Fix Kext. https://github.com/acidanthera/NVMeFix
 

I don’t know if it will work with Clover as it’s not supported by them boys anymore but I also see no reason why it wouldn’t.

So I crashed by backup copy deliberately :-)

This time I just used the Intel Power Gadget. Installing was fine, when I start it I get the crash.

 

Let me explain a little bit more about how my system is setup.

 

OSX is installed on the Samsung EVO 970 M2, Windows is installed on the ADATA, the Firecuda is shared between OSX and Windows (both having own partitions), the smaller Samsung EVO 850 is a FileVault drive and the bigger Samsung EVO is my backup copy.

 

I also did configure OSX to not mount the Windows Partitions at all before the reinstall, need to do that again. So I will look if the NVMeFix will do something for me.

 

Will try to set the Memory Speed manually and will let you know.

no in that case the kext is useless to you.

something is wrong there though but I’m not sure what yet, I’m deep in thought...hhmmmmmm

 

have you tried using smbios 19,1 with the igpu enabled and does the same thing happen?

Well... the 3.7.0 version works... but also the other I had from the official Intel Download site  will work with the smbios 19,1... but I think using the 1,1 version is better.

 

@Matgen84 how did you configure your signature? I can't find that option in my profile, or I'm blind which could be.

intel get it wrong sometimes and release borked updates. Stuff happens dude, 

 

as for what smbios is better then what. 
19,1 is the more complete package but having your igpu disabled and using 1,1 is nice too but also can be problematic when using a 5700xt as the drivers are so flipping bad (well done Apple) so you can find that super heavy stress on the gpu can make the system unstable. It used to be a lot lot worst though as now days it takes some seriously heavy gaming to make it go bye bye.

To configure your signature: on the top right of Insanelymac windows, click on your name > edit account settings. Then in left menu, you will see Signature.

thanks a lot you both.

 

So I will stress the system today because I would like to have a stable system before I go further. On the other side changing the model, bios and efi config shouldn't have that a big impact on anything related in macOS or?

Depends what you mean by that but it can have a huge impact yes or none at all also...lol

depends on the use case really.

So I want to make sure I'm getting this correct before I even attempt at OverClocking as it will be my first.  From the videos and guide.  I have a i5-9600

 

I disable all of the following?

Intel® Speed Shift Technology, CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), C-States Control, Enhanced Multi-Core Performance, Ring to Core offset (Down bin), CPU EIST Function, Race to Halt, Energy Efficient Turbo, Voltage Optimization, CPU Flex Overide

 

Then I got to my CPU Clock Ratio and change that to 48 for a 4800 OC

Ring ration should be about 3 under that so 45

CPU Vcore Loadling - Turbo or High

 

Start CPU Vcore at 1.25V start raising the voltage by .01 until stable. 

 

For stability testing:

Use P95 for a couple of mins for a quick temp test to make sure my temp is not going crazy

Cinebench R20

Firestrike

Yes sort of but don’t move your ring off 43 (standard) until the end of your overclocking as you don’t know how good the fabric is or isn’t so don’t risk causing an instability on the cache while your trying to lock in your cores.

 

also to test using your list is no where near good enough to confirm stability.

I do a minimum of 4 hours your prime95 no avx (custom ffts 12 12 with ffts in place) and if that passes I then move over to some avx testing using say realbench and a run of 8 hours. If that passes I then run all my bench mark tests like cinibench and 3DMark, luxmark, geekbench etc etc (5 times each test so I get an average) and then move to real world testing and do a complex render and then a big gaming session and if it survives all of that then yes you can officially call your overclock stable.

i know it sounds like a lot to do but anything less just isn’t enough to say your locked in with your OC.

Hi AudioGod !

 

First thanks a lot for all this amazing work !! 

I followed your instructions, (Bios profile & settings etc...) first boot everything's seems ok (impressively fast by the way)

Until I get stuck where MacOS should normally shows utilities. Instead of this, I have a grey screen, with the mouse (moving freely) and then nothing happens.

 

I found on some forums that FakeSMC needed absolutely to be there, but no more luck (I even think it messes up everything)

 

I join my EFI (your EFI ;) in fact) exactly as I use it.

 

I'm quite sure this is a little nothing missing or needed to be changed but what ?

 

Thanks a lot !!

 

Cyril

 

My specs :

Gigabyte z390 Aorus Master

Intel i9 9700KF

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16 Gb

Dataland RX 5500 XT

EFI.zip

@donsalluste The EFI you have attached is just mine with no changes that I can see so it should just work tbh.

looking at your setup however I note two things.

firstly your using a 9700KF and this has no IGPU making smbios19,1 no good for you.

You should be using smbios iMacpro1,1 or MacPro7,1 as these are more in line with your setup.

Secondly your Dataland 5500XT I have no data what so ever on it and can not say if it will work right or not.

Anyway I have changed your EFI to smbios iMacpro1,1 and generated new details for you so just replace this EFI with the one on your Catalina install Thumb Drive and give it a shot and let me know.

 

 

 

When testing make sure you only have your keyboard and mouse plugged in for now Device wise and have no other USB Devices attached to the system. (this includes any USB Hubs or DACS you may have connected). Also same deal if you're using more than one monitor or a monitor and your TV. Drop down to a single screen setup while installing.

 

Oh and by the way, do not use the old and way past it FakeSMC as im already using the much better and still supported VirtualSMC.

My EFIs are as close to a plug and play setup as you can get. As long as your inline with my recommendations then other than a flaw in the build or faulty, incompatible hardware it should just work for you.

 

Good Luck Buddy. :thumbsup_anim:

Thank you so much !

It works flawlessly ! You can add my GPU to your list of compatible graphic cards, hope this can help other people too :)

 

The only one thing I have to check is if my external soundcard (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2) will also work well. It was my main concern, with my last build, it was crackling all the time while recording/playback with the mic. I checked everything (working fine on win 10) so it could only be an issue with USB ports (power ?).

 

I'll let you know. Thanks again ! :hyper:

No problem Pal, I’m always happy to help :help:

And as for the crackling audio via your dac. I can fix that for you too.

its a flaw in the motherboard bios but I will pm you the fix in a few minutes buddy. :thumbsup_anim:

To switch to OpenCore is only change EFI ? Thanks.

Yes plus add your details to it.

check page one as there’s diagrams up showing what and where to make the changes.

Hey @AudioGod

 

Any special tricks for getting AirPlay to work? Was streaming it to an Apple TV yesterday and only sound worked. Does internal graphics needs to be enabled?

 

Cheers mate!


Morning Mr Clark, 

Good Question and one I have never Investigated but I can imagine it will need the same conditions as you would need for Sidecar to be working so I’m guessing it will need to be on 19,1 with the IGPU enabled. 
I will check that later today under 19,1 and let you know buddy. :thumbsup_anim:

Hey @AudioGod

 

Did you manage to look at the Airplay thing? I will have a test with 19,1 gfx enabled too.

 

I posted a couple of weeks ago to say that my build sleeps but after 2 seconds it comes straight back on. You told me to rebuild permissions and caches and reset Nvram but it’s still occurring. Any ideas why?

 

Thanks again mate!

 

Edit: 

Looks like it's a rouge USB but can't figure out exactly which one! 

Wake from Normal Sleep [CDNVA] : due to XDCI CNVW/ Using AC (Charge:0%)

@AudioGod sorry for bother you, but can you tell me which settings changes of BIOS in your CFG Unlock profile ? As I already have a stable setting for overclocking, now I want to CFG unlock, but if now I load your profile to BIOS, every other settings for overclocking will be cleared. I want to manually set your settings in BIOS. Thanks.
