If you have WEG enabled, try running with it disabled. I did notice this esp with USB, if WiFi was enabled. So after checking WEG status, try turning off WiFi (BT being on is okay). Disabling WiFi fixed the issue. Thanks. Strange that it seems to have started only after I updated to latest OC 0.6.1. At least I know the root cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators iGPU Posted September 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Driftwood mentioned Handbrake. I haven't used that software in years, so decided to give it a try, downloading v1.3.3 here. Next, I downloaded a 4K test file here (it was used to demo LG 4K screens). To set the test up, you want to load the 4K demo file, and on the Preset pop-up, under Devices, select Apple 2160p60 4K HEVC Surround (modified) and below that on Format, select MKV File, then press Start at the top (as shown below in spoiler). Spoiler Select the Preset: Select the Format pop-up: A good comparison site is here (p 12 of thread on AnandTech), which shows a table comparing results of various CPUs (mostly Linux) using the same 4K test file, shown in spoiler below: Spoiler My results are right in there, with an avg of 16.82 fps and a duration of 107 sec (iPhone timer). I did not do any over-clocking nor use XMP. Nevertheless, a 3970X is no slouch when using Big Sur and can keep up with Linux results. From bottom of the HandBrake window at the end of a run: The AMD Power Tool window adjacent to the Handbrake window during a run: During the run, power utilization averaged ~315 W with a temperature of ~80°C and a frequency averaging 4 GHz: Edited September 11, 2020 by iGPU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handbrake is so fast at software cpu encoding. 🙂 That's x265 for you! Was that HEVC 10-bit 420? or the 12-bit setting? In this pic below, here's my rec2020 HDR PQ output variables if anyone needs them! Load up Activity Monitor just to watch those cores fly! 🙂 Now try the same test and same variables with Compressor, Media Encoder or Davinci. They crawl!

Cosmin Batica Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 @Driftwood, please share with my your EFI folder. I have Threadripper 3960X, and I really can't figure out how to install without problems. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help! 🙂 The help is already in this thread to construct a functional EFI. You should study it to learn how to set up your own EFI, rather than ask to be handed a fully functional one. Because no matter where you derive the EFI, some customization will be still be required. And when you study a thread, look and see who is using either the same, or a similar, mobo, and then follow their posts (rather than immediately asking for their EFI) to see how they solved issues you wish to solve. (So far, you've asked for EFIs from people who have different mobos than you.) If you've already carefully done this, then ask specific questions rather than requesting an EFI. Otherwise, you learn nothing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I alreay use a real MacBook Pro and the only reason I want a hackintosh is far better specifications who helps me a lot in my work. So if you want to help me, it's ok, otherwise I really can't read hundreds of manual pages and so on. BTW, I already study all this thread. Before threadripper I used Ryzen 9 3950x without any installation and utilization issues.

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But next I managed to enter in Disk Utility and mke the necessary modifications, and when I start the install, it reboots after few seconds every time. Yes, I have a booting EFI.

I did everything you read for me, then over time many willing people joined who every day are carrying out this task which was impossible until recently .. If you come and say give me a good EFI that I have little time ... 🙂 Doesn't it seem strange to you? however I repeat .. be patient and read .. surely your system is not more complex than others that we have made to work 🙂 PS soon I will clean the topic to make it remain readable no offense to you and others by the way..I see Samsung 970 EVO in your description.. is their firmware updated?
