any updates? I am anxiously watching this thread...

thanks @Ploddles @Arrakis. I had to change SecureBootModel to Disabled to get it to work!

Should I disable the wifi kext after downloading the update? I only have wifi 

I’m stuck at a reboot loop updating to 14.4 myself. I just checked and secure boot is disabled on my end. Does the config.plist has some settings @fabiosun?

@backinblackx86change that drive with one more compatible (PCIE gen 4) if you like to use it in OSX system

For now unsolved problem for T700 and generally also for other PCIE 5 Gen NVME

The GE Pro leads to random restarts too, only less often as the T700. I suggest staying away from PCIe 5 drives too, for now.

Format entire disk to exfat guid and then only format the exfat container to apfs

And try to set setapfstrimout from -1 to 0

You can find it at kernel /quirks 

That’s how I managed to format my own T700. Beware though, T700 caused a lotta panics and random restarts. It is some driver issues with macOS since it’s solid in Linux. I advise caution using it with macOS

I allow myself to joke with you Jaidy 🙂
what are you doing with your trx40 that doesn't have a slot/M2 pcie5.0? 🙂

I’m waiting for a wrx90 motherboard to become available to get it. Otherwise, yes you have a valid point 🙂

just got my GE Pro ssd and installed Sonoma on it. The firmware probably doesn't support TRIM just yet, but otherwise this is the first PCIe gen 5 SSD to be this solid. No issues so far which I saw with the Phison controller based ones from Crucial and TeamGroup

Thought I'd give it a shot too.

@fabiosun who is going to come back on Trx50 ? 🤣😂

Or wrx90 😛

this is the best thread of 2024! 

Why are you on Ventura again?

@Jaidytake look to this latest revision for both (Opencore and Clover)

As mainteiner of the Clover ones, we deleted a patch which is possible also to delete in OpenCore:

algrey | _cpuid_set_generic_info | Replace rdmsr(0x8B) with constant 186 | 10.13+

other patches are the same

Clover needs to use two patches in another config.plist's section

Okay, before I spend any money today on an NVmE, I am going to pull the WD (Sandisk) 850x 1TB from my AM4 build. It currently has Sonoma, Ventura, and Monterey installed. Oddly the AM4 system cannot boot Monterey but Sonoma and Ventura are functional. Of course I will use the EFI we have built for the Trx50.

Also, I have removed the 6 5.25 DVD RW drives from the case to improve airflow to the CPU cooler.

You might wanna wait for this disk coming out shortly. It might have better random IO than 990 pro...

I had been running a 990 pro before moving to Z540, and it was very stable for me. I have WD SN850x too (two of those), but I use them as data drives since 990 Pro was faster in random IO..

Is the system running solid? Any kernel panics or any other hiccups? Sleep restart never works for me with TRX40, but it’s ok.

@backinblackx86 @fabiosun @Lorys89 

Congratulations on your achievements, I have been following the post since last night without intervening. Too little knowledge in the field of hackintosch. You are truly professionals in less than 24 hours you have made a new generation of motherboard compatible.

“Hats off” as they say in French.

my thoughts exactly!

Will it work as a scratch disk or is it best to avoid all MacOS use and only use it for Windows/Linux? I may install an WD 850X (Sandisk)

The strange thing is if it is being formatted as some other file system and I try formatting it to APFS, the system will hang and then reboot. If I boot from USB and try formatting it from the recovery / install macOS, the same thing happens. 
 

so I boot into Linux, format it to something like exFAT or EXT4, and then format it to APFS from macOS. After all this exercise, while it is in APFS, and I can write data to it and read from it, I’m very hesitant to do anything with it in macOS, so I haven’t really tried working with it. 
 

I have a Z540 which while has its own small issues like restarting immediately after a reboot to desktop, but once I get to desktop, it is solid. I have it as my OS drive, so it seems there’s some firmware issue with the T700..

this is the unit I am using, but I believe the air flow is limited in my case as well.

If money isn’t a problem, then stick to the one you got for now. Enermax is coming out with its water cooler in Q2 of this year, so a few months from now, the XTR, and it seems quite capable to handle the TRs. 

Goodness gracious me! This is the best thing I came across today! Many congratulations. I hope this can be done with the TR Pro too

Welcome to these forums @backinblackx86 

One thing I would say is to try using some other SSD if you have one lying around. T700 has given me so many headaches on macOS. It works just fine on Linux though, so it is some macOS issue.

Recently I reset my BIOS, and lost some settings that had enabled shutdown instead of restarting immediately after shutting down. Can someone remind me what settings were those?

I took a slow motion video since it moves pretty fast . From the looks it of it kernel panics

 

my expertise are severely limited here, but perhaps enable 4G encoding in BIOS if you haven't already.

Also, may be try this config.plist (perhaps you would have to edit the kext portion..)

the numbers posted in the review over at Techpowerup for 14900K are not encouraging. Further, they do not have enough PCIe 5 lanes. 

The new TRs are exciting!!

And you're not tempted by the Intel Core i9-14900K? 😉

I think so

but I think price will be monster

and I would like to have a platform with the change to upgrade also the cpu without changing the motherboard

trx40 missed that part 

we will see

the future seems more interesting than recent past🥹

TRX40 owners did get shortchanged. The WRX80 at least got 5000 series threadripper pros..
