Yes, a dedicated wrx90e thread would be ideal. My trx50 and wrx90e machines are both currently rented-out 24/7.

I will be open to that when I begin to build the second WRX90E machine

7960x was cool but i’d got for the 7970x if I did it again.

I do still have my 7960x trx50 AeroD machine but it has been repurposed as a GPU-rendering linux server. I had it running MacOSx86 Sonoma, it was stable, maintained weeks of uptime, and ran FCPX well. I did not use it as much as I planned to as my work took priority over creative interests. I do second the WRX90e, I built a 6x GPU setup around a 7985wx, a great platform. The AITop board is odd, as it accepts the wrx chip but uses quad memory, iirc. From the MacOS, I would stick with the AeroD.

could the TB4 need to be mapped?

The TRX50 motherboard worked very well and the system was absolutely stable on MacOS, especially compared to my ASUS x670e/7950x. I would argue the cost of R.DIMM DDR5 kept it from as much adaptation as the previous generation which used run of the mill DDR4.

I applied innie.kext (https://github.com/cdf/Innie) to correct the external nvme as internal and it appears to have resolved the issue. I am still studying the TB you linked me earlier.

Hello, @fabiosunsystem kernel panic'ed 4-5 times from a cold boot before it could reach the GUI.

On my x670e system, the USB-C TB ports do have USB functionality but not TB.

@fabiosun does the x870e proart support USB4 under MacOS?

After I upgraded to Sequoia, a Canon EOS Utility process held my CPU at 5.1Ghz and sustained 80C, that did not seem normal as the fans were full blast. If I select 3500mhz in AMD Power Gadget, it calms down but "Automatic Speed Adjustment" went nuts. I was able to disable the background "EWCService."

Well I am typing to you from the machine, I was able to activate Audio with alcid=13, AirDrop/WiFi as well as iServices/iMessage. I also created a USBMap.kext. This isn’t my beloved Trx50 but it is snappy. After a year of Linux CLI, the MacOS GUI is a nice change of pace. I ran the GPU bench....solid score for my 6800XT. I would like to enable SLEEP, set the NVME as internal, and would like to understand the current USB4 functionality/limitations.

What became of the research in regard to functional USB4/Thunderbolt on this MB? I see them under IOREG. IOREG.zip

This does boot! I only added the boot-arg agdpmod=pikera to reach the GUI. I will now try to dissect it. After a year away, I feel a bit rusty but it is coming back to me.

Looking for help with an x670e ProArt

I am attempting to boot Sonoma 14.4.1 with onboard Wifi/BT/Audio/Ethernet/iGPU disabled in the BIOS currently. After I changed the Securebootmodel to Disable, the boot process is still stuck at 17:765 00:012 AAPL: #[EB|LOG:EXITBS:START] 2025-01-03T00:52:17. I also tried the patches linked here below with identical results. I tried another user’s EFI and it did load and eventually KP, I must be missing something obvious and will look at this again with fresh eyes.

Yes, I read through the links you provided above. I attempted to build a fresh configuration of open core debug v103 with the acpi patches applied but booting was unsuccessful. Your support is much appreciated. 00_HANGS.zip

@fabiosunI now have the time to revisit this project. While the 9950x was ultimately installed into a linux server, I still have the 7950x. The BIOS version of my x670e ProArt board is version 2604.

Well that might be ideal as I typically leave my MacOS system online 24/7.

I returned the 9950x today and decided to keep the 7980x. That’s a big leap from the 24-core 7960x, thoughts? @fabiosun

I still have the 9950x sealed in the box and have yet to install it into a motherboard. Ideally, while I have one of the Pro-Art x670e servers offline, I should be able to upgrade the cpu and attempt to boot MacOS. How well does the Zen 5 perform compared against the Zen 4?

Hello, I now have an AM5 setup in need of booting MacOSx86 as the Trx50 has been put in use as a Linux Nvidia-gpu rendering server: Ryzen 9950x 16-core ASUS ProArt x670e Corsair 192GB 4x48GB (CMK192GX5M4B5200C38) FENVi T919 (Pulled from Trx50 build) I never did get around to updating the Trx50 build beyond 14.4.1. I would like to clone my Trx50 setup but perhaps starting fresh is ideal. Thoughts?

I am still running Sonoma 14.4.1. My current setup is very stable. Are the updates difficult?

I guess I lucked out as I did not have any prior experience with Trx40 either.

My Gigabyte Trx50 AeroD is still running strong, months of uptime and never a hiccup. I have not updated past 14.4.1, however.
