    Threadripper is pretty much bleeding edge for Hackintosh. If you don't want to learn anything but just copy somebody else's system then perhaps Threadripper isn't going to be a good option for you. Hacks are not real Macs so will never run exactly the same and you have to be willing to problem solve.

    In that case you should check your BIOS settings? Have you also updated your BIOS to the latest version? Gigabyte release updates to all their TRX40 boards a few days ago. Always start with Load Optimised Defaults and then make the other necessary changes - without that you won't be very successful trying to load/run macOS.

    Is this a typo by Apple? Surely 10.15.7 or another supplemental update?

    @Jaidy As promised, my OC 0.6.1 EFI for Gigabyte Xtreme. Fill in your own SN, UUID etc. If you have other kexts/SSDTs you will need to add them. Also my BIOS settings for F4k. BIOSSettings.zip EFI.zip

    @fabiosun Thankfully Tonymacx86 now allows discussion of AMD, it’s been a long time coming. I did post the link to this site/page, credit where credit is due 😀 I have never really liked insanelymac. I was once suspended and then banned for disagreeing with a few things that were said. For example, someone had run an update to macOS and was recommending everybody update asap. However that update broke a number of things so I suggested it would be wise to mention doing a full CCC backup (and testing you could boot from it) before running the update. I received a mouthful of abuse saying I was trying to undermine the OP and that he knew better, and everybody who didn’t run his full EFI, without any personal changes, were fools as it was ‘perfect’. An update to that update was quickly released by Apple that fixed the issue. I mentioned it in the thread and was banned after replying, with the same sort of language, to the further abuse I received from the OP. Thankfully we get a better class of people on here 😂

    Yes, the system is very stable. Updating the BIOS has benefits if you have more than 1 graphics card - Above 4G can now be enabled without it hanging the system. Big Sur and Catalina now boot fine with or without Above 4G enabled. The MMIO Whitelist hasn't changed, the values obtain with the Debug are the same as with the previous BIOS version. They are also the same with or without Above 4G enabled so you don't need to make any changes for that to your config file. You do need to make changes to the config.plist if you update to OC 0.6.1, eg you need to add the Arch - String - Any values to all your Add (kexts) and Patch sections in the Kernel part. There are a few other bit dotted throughout the rest of the config as well. If you want I can upload my updated config.plist file and you can see and compare with yours and see where the changes are.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Yay, just updated to the latest 'release' version of OC, 0.6.1, and it appears to have solved my sleep problem. I need to do more testing but looking good so far.

    Try disabling Above 4G Encoding in the BIOS.
  10. Ploddles
    Just a slight difference 🙂

    Just out of interest, here is my score for a single lowly RX580. Before disabling the PAT patch it was 100.73, so that is quite a big performance boost.

    Thanks for taking a look. I have removed the Slide value now I have tested it and found it didn't change anything. I followed your method on page 7 to obtain and calculate the Whitelist, it is only the last 3 or 4 values that are different from everybody else's and following the recommendations earlier I have enabled them all except the last 4. Next thing to try is to remove all the USB devices, except the keyboard and mouse, to see if they affect Sleep. When I put it to sleep, the keyboard, mouse and monitors turn off and then the MB clicks and the BIOS output LEDs start to count up. The mouse, keyboard and monitor do not turn back on and the BIOS codes stop at 30. On a normal start/restart it counts up to AA. There is nothing in the manual about what '30' indicates and a google search wasn't fruitful.

    I finally had a chance to test the MMIOWhitelisting, disabling the last 3/4 entries but enabling all the others. There was no difference between disabling the last 3 or 4 and the system booted fine. Shutdown and restart still work as previous. Sleep still does not work. I also calculate my Slide value, which worked out as 80, but again, this doesn't seem to affect anything. I cannot boot at all with Above 4G enabled and the debug version of OC does not show any MMIO values in the report. Attached is my DSDT file to add to the collection - Gigabyte AORUS Xtreme.

    Anybody tried the latest Big Sur, beta 6 released today, yet?

    To rub salt into the wound, currently the new Nvidia cards will only achieve their full potential on AMD motherboards, as they require PCIe 4 for that. No Intel boards currently have PCIe 4 until Tiger Lake CPUs are released. The 490Z may support PCIe 4 but with only a CPU change so that is an ouch for anybody who currently has a 10 series CPU as they will have a spare CPU to move on to somebody.

    If I remember correctly, it was all to do with Metal. Nvidia said they wouldn't support it and wanted Apple to stick with OPenGL. AMD ceased the opportunity to try to hammer Nvidia and said they would support Metal. It may be more complex than that but that is it put simply.

    The Rocket 4+ is 7000/6850 not 5000/3900, so it IS faster than the normal Rocket 4.

    @Pavo @fabiosun I have too many versions of OC downloaded, I could have used the wrong one by mistake. To make sure I have the right one I will download a fresh copy from Github and test again. I think I will delete all my old versions so that I have nice clean copies of release and debug and make sure I don't mix them up by mistake. I don't think I will have time tonight but will upload any useful text files I get. Thank you for your patience.
  19. Ploddles
    Yes I believe so, see attached. config.plist.zip I can try if you want 🙂

    Hi @fabiosun, Although my system is running well now, apart from sleep, I am happy to do tests when I can. As you say, it can advance all our knowledge by seeing what does and does not work. I tried with all the various setting of Above 4G but none of them let me successfully boot into Catalina or Big Sur. Checking the debug txts they never get to the stage of saving the MMIO info so it is not possible to create a Whitelist. Attached are a series of the text files saved to the EFI when trying to boot. I don't know if they are useful at all but maybe you will see something useful in them. Archive.zip

    @tsongz, which kext, there are a few flying about with varying results? I previously tries a couple on my Z390 with dubious results.
  22. Ploddles
    @Jaidy, My EFI and BIOS files are on page 22. Copy the BIOS file onto a USB drive and plug that in before you turn the machine on. Go to the last tab in BIOS where you save and exit. Select the Load settings option and you can then load the file from the USB drive. This overwrites your current settings so make sure you have saved your settings first. After loading the file save and exit. @fabiosun, do you know if removing the boot argument and enabling above 4G Encoding change the MMIO values we use in the Whitelist? If so, do you want me to disable the Whitelist or go through the process of replacing them with new values?

    @meina222, very strange as I am not sure what has changed that could possibly affect sleep but it was working earlier this week. After doing the sound tests for @fabiosun I checked sleep again. In Catalina, the monitors, keyboard and mouse turn off but the fans are still running. but I cannot now get it to come back on. In BigSur, the same happens but I hear a click after the monitors, keyboard and mouse turn off but the fans are still running. Cannot get it to turn back on. There is another test I want to do but the F1 Racing is now on............ 🙂
  24. Ploddles
    @fabiosun, as promised, I disabled the AppleACL.kext and removed alcid in boot arguments. I then cleared NVRAM. The system was shut down and turned off before each test. Below are the results of my sound tests:-

    @meina222 Sorry I didn't credit you earlier on the 'wake on lan' setting. By the time I had caught up reading all the posts, I couldn't remember or see again when skimming through who had mentioned it. Credit where credit is due, I would never have thought of that as a possible reason for the shutdown issue. Kudos to you 🙂
