Lol take a look a this guy. He told me to get a different case or gpu. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/xfx-6800-xt-pcie-lanes.3766524/ Appreciate your help.

Ok, thank you very much, I will. Any other advise/tops for getting the most out of my GPU (optimizing)?

That's what I thought, definitely the most help so far on the web. Other forums have been condescending and mean. Just a question, how significant is the loss of performance running out side of the 1st lane? Many thanks

Silly Question Maybe... How can I find out if my PCIE lanes which is 16 is running a full capacity? I have a TRX40 10G (3960X CPU) with 4 (16) PCIE lanes (support x16/x8/x16/x8 mode) because of my case and PSU I have to place the GPU on the last lane away from the CPU. Will this hurt performance. The motherboard says that all lanes run at 16??? Not really sure?

Big Sur upgrade - SUCCESS! Checking on everything now. I upgrade to opencore 064 - then let the machine do its thing.

ok, I am going to upgrade to oc 064 and give it a shot. also going to get latest kexts and drivers I will let you know how it goes.

ok, I will leave Bios as is for now. I will attempt to upgrade to opencore 064. should I still make an attempt to upgrade to Big Sur? I appreciate all your help.

I am going to detach everything except for the mouse, including headphones. I will use bluetooth for keyboard. Going to give it a shot.

Results - Shutdown does not work, it just restarts. The MMIO looks good. what improvements does AGESA add to the Bios? Many thanks.

ok, everything loaded, this time a lo faster. I am attaching the log file. I will try shutdown now and restart. wish me luck! opencore-2020-12-30-154251.txt.zip

ok, I will load now. I just updated the language to english as well lol. thanks again.

Noctua NH-U9 TR4-SP3 BIOS is Jan it is not the latest one. I don't see that you added pikera arg in this latest config file. I will wait to confirm if you see it there. Many thanks.

ok, I will reload. please stand by

I discounted my usb audio headphone jack - TX-Hifi Type C audio. I loaded the EFI folder and made a back up of mine. Rebooted and Selected my drive at boot menu. Black screen after initial load, hangs on black screen Please see attached video Any thoughts? Img 4600-1.zip

Hello and thank you. I just woke up. Headed to office now to work on this. Will post results shortly.

System is the same with regards to operation. Sound inconsistent Shutdown just restarts Overall performance is amazing. M.2 1 - Windows - Sabrient Disabled in Boot M.2 2 Corsair - Hack Catalina, mostly storage - Disabled in Boot Kingston SATA - Current Hackbuild (Sandbox) - 10.15.7 I have the GPU - Sapphire 5500 XT (just sold my 5700 XT) in slot 1 the wifi card in slot 2 - Fenvi 1200M M.2 adapter in slot 3 Slot 4 is empty PSU is EVGA 750GQ Working on this Kingston SATA Drive and then want to do a fresh install on the M.2 2 I assume I will need to update MMIO and a few other things once I get this Sandbox stable and running optimal for Big Sur.

0xC0600000 3227516928 Ok, I updated both and will check the logs and post results. Have a good night.

Please see attached logs. Shutdown no longer works for some reason prior to the 4G change, it just reboots. I changed the BIOS setting to enable 4G and removed the npci=0x2000 from boot arg Let me know your thoughts. Archive.zip

Ok, working on this now. I will send you my logs shortly. I appreciate your help.

I checked the restart, everything goes away and it just hangs. Shutdown works! Audio seems to be working with the front io headphone jack. It has always been inconsistent. I am going to remove the apple alc and reboot. I will send you the results and logs. Hope the audio is consistent. Questions, with Shutdown the way it is? what is the next step to upgrade to Big Sur? Many thanks.

ok, I will give it a try.

Please see the attached. I added the config file and rebooted. I included the previous text files to keep a running record. I made no other changes. I will await your response patiently. 1133-12-29-20-Archive.zip
