zhänx Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi, yesterday I started a project to put macOS Catalina on my Dual Socket System. But I canˋt find good instructions or EFI-Folders in the web. Here are the specs: - 2x Xeon E5 2676v3 (Haswell) - X99 Huananzhi Motherboard - Vega 56 Asus Strix Does anyone know, which bootloader is netter for this system? Opencore or Clover? Maybe some of you have an identical system and can post the efi folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkoyote Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hello, I am thinking about setting up a machine with the same motherboard and processors, also with Catalina. I understand that Clover can be work perfectly, I have no experience with Opencore. I would like to know if you have advanced anything. Thank you very much and greetings.

MIKESTUDIOA Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hi. I have the following system. Huananzhi x99-f8d with two Intel Xeon E5 2678 V3 processors and 63 gb of Ram and Radeon 570 graphics. I have managed to install CATALINA and would like to use this EFI. When I have tried, the system does not boot. Do you have to configure the bios in some specific way? I don't know if the error is there. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenology Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Has anybody tried installing Catalina on a dual processor C600/X79 chipset server yet? I have had a Dell T420 working like a charm for ages, on Sierra... time to upgrade, but I can't get the darn thing to boot. RX560 video, 2 cpus, 96GB RAM, UEFI Any basic tips? Seems the two XEON CPUs 2450v2 are the problem... or something PCI related with the split PCI slots? I would be grateful for any pointers... let alone and EFI folder to download an try! PS: I have only dealt with Clover in the past and definitely new to Open Core.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfdemiddeleer Posted Wednesday at 10:36 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:36 AM have you solved your problem? I have install Mojave/Catalina with OC on a Supermicro X9DAi motherboard and a pair of E5-2670v2 (10c/20th at 2,5GHz each). For Catalina, you should add MCEReporterDisabler.kext at your config, because Apple add MCE Reporter at MacOS to avoid MacOS 10.15+ instalation on dual socket system. With Big Sur and up, MCEReporterDisabler doesn't work and you should use another SMBIOS (iMacPro can work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
