@fabiosun, They are excellent scores.  Can you share your 2124 bios file with me when you can? I want to try it on my motherboard.

 

Thanks.

@Xsarioit is the same you can download from Asus site

patches used for ACPI is in a link you can find below

 

ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO BIOS 2124

 

before you have to use ACPI patch found here:

ok, I got it. thanks, a lot.

No change for me in Beta 4. It is still totally unusable because of the graphics glitches, e.g totally red screen in web browser windows, the same for mail messages and often the whole screen becomes unreadable or lags when you click anything..

Have you upgraded to AMD beta kernel patches?

could you post your config.plist?

Here is the config.plist. As far as I am aware I have all the patches.

 

config.plist.zip

[fabiosun]

@Ploddlestry to adapt this config.plist to yours

if you use 2124 BIOS for ASUS you could use it as is (NO DSDT but some ACPI patches added)

I use also a different kext for our ethernet card (check also bootarg)

Thank you my genius friend. I now have it working as it should.

 

The kext you use for the ethernet card (AppleIGC.kext) does not work for me. If I enable that kext and disable AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext my system just hangs at a black screen. If I disable both of those kexts the same thing happens, I just get a black screen. Enabling AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext (with the e1000=0 boot arg) and it works again, but ethernet speed is only 10% of what it should be - but that is better than nothing.

 

The AppleIGC.kext I have is V1.5 dated 14 June 2024.

 

I will experiment with a few things over the weekend.

[fabiosun]

About Ethernet and low speed

set hardware speed in Ethernetproperties manually

then set speed to 2500

it is a known problem

 

For the other kext solution

use latest appleIGB you find in macos86 GitHub if you want to try  Ethernet with this kext

[fabiosun]

@Ploddles

kext i use is this:

AppleIGC.kext.zip

this without any bootarg (e1000=0 i mean)

 

if you use the other appleintel210ethernet you must use e1000=0and set configuration as i said above to have maximal speed:

[Ploddles]

That updated kext solves the issue, thank you.

 

Are there any advantages using that rather than AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext?

[fabiosun]

Yes

you can use auto in Ethernet settings and to Have maximal speed

you can alto delete e1000=0 boot arg

i am using it and it works well

if it is also for you use it👍

[fabiosun]

Added in OP my latest EFI for macOS Ventura/Sonoma/Sequoia

I use a FEnvi WIFI with OCLP patches, so you have to check kext and block i use if you use intel WIFI

I am using latest 2124 ASUS Hero firmware patched via ACPI patches (Thanks @CorpGhost for the ACPI patches)

[fabiosun]

new bios (Beta)

 

DSDT works with previous ACPI patches

 

DSDT.aml.zip

[Ploddles]

Beta 5 update runs fine.

[fabiosun]

 

official bios update with new 9000 series support and new agesa 🙂

 

[fabiosun]

 

all is fine with usual ACPI patches

[fabiosun]

 

all is fine in OSX with the same @corpghost ACPI patches

[fabiosun]

9950x is here 🙂

Thanks @Shaneeefor fast and great job done on Opencore bootloader

2 dimm @6400

below the best results is my system with 4 dimm installed and stock settings (it is difficult to push dimm to higher frequency than 3600, i can push to 4200, but if somethings fails in overclocking test system needs long time to boot well again

 

 

 

[Xsario]

@fabiosun, congratulations on your new processor. your scores are good. How did you install the new macos? I updated the opencore version to 1.0.1 in the EFI I use, but on the splash screen I only see the apple logo and no process bar. 

[Xsario]

 

@fabiosun  Could I ask you to share your latest EFI file with me, please?

Awesome single core results!!!

[fabiosun]

pushing ram @6400 (two sticks) it is much better also multicore benchmark in Geekbench and CinebenchR24

with Cinebench R23 no improvemnt and always a benchmark about 45000

 

Curve shaper seems to be a powerfull tool to optmize performance and temps/Watt (for 9950x and also for previous CPU Gen)
