    Hello, the fresh installation to my NVME was successful. I copied the EFI and all is well. The system appears stable.

    I picked up a WD SN850X 4TB for $105! Going to install MacOS on it.
  3. backinblackx86
    Okay, I will try this too

    Hopefully there are some breakthroughs in AMD 7000 series GPU support… https://github.com/ChefKissInc/NootRX

    @fabiosun How is the 6950 gpu compare to my 6800xt?
  6. backinblackx86
    Yes, Sonoma OS is working well. Although I personally prefer Ventura.

    Cinebench R15 was a pain in the butt to run...had to manually allow each under Privacy and Security

    @fabiosun please share a copy of cb r15.
  9. backinblackx86
    Done!

    Well as the title states, I have the following system. CPU: AMD AM4 5900X 12-Core (https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5900x#product-specs) (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/amd-ryzen-9-5900x-4th-gen-12-core-24-threads-unlocked-desktop-processor-without-cooler-black/6438942.p?skuId=6438942) Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK "MAX WIFI" (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B550-TOMAHAWK-MAX-WIFI/Specification) (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-b550-tomahawk-max-wifi-socket-am4-usb-c-gen2-amd-atx-gaming-motherboard-black/6504286.p?skuId=6504286) GPU: XFX 6800 SWFT (https://www.xfxforce.com/shop/xfx-speedster-swft-319-amd-radeon-tm-rx-6800-core-2) (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-speedster-swft319-amd-radeon-rx-6800-16gb-gddr6-pci-express-4-0-gaming-graphics-card/6559272.p?skuId=6559272) NVME: 1TB WD 850x (https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-black-sn850x-nvme-ssd?sku=WDS100T2X0E) The nvme contains 3 vanilla installations of Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma. Primary issue: Monterey will NOT boot. Attached is my IOREG, EFI, and SYSREPORT backinblackx86_AM4_5900x_SysReport.zip backinblackx86_AM4_5900x_EFI.zip backinblackx86_AM4_5900x.ioreg.zip @Lorys89

    I will send the AM4 information directly to you as to not confuse this TRx50 thread...
  12. backinblackx86
    I cannot seem to find a source for a working MacOS Cinebench R15. Any way you could post it @fabiosun ? Will do, oddly the AM4 system actually does boot Sonoma and Ventura, just not Monterey. It too has an AMD 6800...stand by
  13. backinblackx86
    Over all, I am very happy with the progress of this TrX50 machine....now what to do with it? I should shoot some 5.5K footage, it sure has been a while since I used a NLE. 🙂 Great work team.
  14. backinblackx86
    Well that all worked out...as proof of my post above, booting from usb4 ports with an external NVME worked well. Much to my surprise the system booted both my Monterey installation, something my AM4 system will not boot, as well as Sonoma. Attached are screenshots of system profiler alongside the About this Mac window. I did find this on IA for Cinebench...not sure if it contains MacOS...still downloading https://archive.org/details/cinebench_201907
  15. backinblackx86
    Somewhat of a dual purpose test: I pulled an NVME disk from my AM4 setup that contains vanilla installations of Monterey, Sonoma, and Ventura. I connected the drive to the rear USB-4/TB port with a USB-C NVME enclosure rated for 10 Gbps, purchased at my local Best Buy (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-m-2-nvme-to-usb-c-ssd-enclosure/6500317.p?skuId=6500317) The OpenCore Boot picker (loaded from the EFI on my SATA SSD) showed the NVME drive's installations as "external" options and booted right into Ventura without fault. While technically not a TB device, it did work! Next I will give Sonoma and Monterey a go...as well as the older CBR15...stand by
  16. backinblackx86
    No particular reason, just the recovery installer that I had on hand. I will attempt Sonoma as well as CB R15 and report back.
  17. backinblackx86
    Checking in, haven’t used the system much…it did start right up and boot Ventura from a cold start.
  18. backinblackx86
    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.
  19. backinblackx86
    Going to get some sleep...will try NVME tomorrow.

  23. backinblackx86
    It is a great system 🙂 Any other benchmark suggestions?
  24. backinblackx86
    I set the system to "run all tests" and perform the "advanced tests." 10 minutes: GPU 8920 pts CPU (MC) 2953 pts CPU (SC) 91 pts Mp ratio 32.32 x

    Hello, I was in New York City for the evening. I returned to find the system still up with a current uptime of 10 hours since last reboot. Prime 95 completed...I will run Cinebench once more.
