[TRX40] 3960X / Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme - Installation Issues

[info]

Just received my PCIE Firewire ( SYBA) which was recommended by a lot of users that works OTB but it doesnt show up or work. Is it something to do with mmio whitelist?

I downloaded DPCImanager and it shows up there but not in system preferences.

It doesn't have a power connector ! I've seen a few models that have molex connectors but mine doesnt!

It shows up in the bios and in DPCImanager ( screenshots ) or that doesn't matter?

The only thing i see is an 8 pin pad.

WEEELLL......

 

Had to move my graphics card to slot 3 ( Don't kill me Fabio , i promised not to touch anything) and moved the firewire card to slot 2 and it works! 

Any reason why it wouldnt work on slot 3 and 4? I can barely fit it to slot 2 with the GPU on slot 1 and it's blocking the 1 of the fans

Oh no.. it changed a lot

 

Only thing i did is put the GPU from 1st to 3rd slot. ( still get the black screen)

I used to have be all 1 except the last 4 that were 0

it seems you have changed else

maybe CSm or 4g on bios?

 

in this way you could loose some functionality on sleep/wake, reboot or shutdown

 

you have to test

I double checked everything now. The only difference is I selected Primary Display PCIE slot and chose the 3rd one. Everything else is as last time ( Saved FABIO DONT TOUCH profile 😄 )

Is there a way to change the whitelist myself?

 

[fabiosun]

before you have to see newer one

put #in front your mmiolist in config

and check the new mmio list (all skipped to 0 should be (Yoda) 🙂

I put # in front and I get everything 0 . Is the goal to have everything say skip 1? 

[fabiosun]

ok

for each different one you have to convert it Fromm ex to decimal..and put in your config.plist mmio whithelist

 

in this way

 

[fabiosun]

however seems weird that skipped because values are pretty the same if I see well

 

[info]

ooo , did i just manage to change the whitelist by myself?? 😄  Master Fabio!

Is there a reason the last 4 , have to be false?

Well the last 4 are 0 but it boots and restarts normally ! Thank you !

Btw meant to ask , do you get some lagging when you resize Chrome's window? 

I'm still trying to figure out whether everything is proper graphic's wise since i still get the black screen.

 

Would you recommend any "testing" to see if everything works as it should?

No, no particular lag

You have to stress in your ideal pipeline job condition...f it is good for you 🙂

You have an ideal system

with black screen it is not ideal (imho)

This is a great thread! I watched it like a movie, lol.

 

 

I also have the AORUS XTREME and will be trying the OC EFI folders on my machine.

 

I have the 3990x though, do I have to make any modifications to get that to work?

I also have the Vega64 since I can't use my 2080ti/1080ti/980

Going to try to install Catalina 🙂

welcome here  @boolean 🙂

you have to lock in your bios your great cpu @32 cores 32 threads or 64 core without SMT (better for performance)

this is an OSX limits
