trx50 Gigabyte TRX50 installation success! :)

[backinblackx86]

The 10GbE NiC issue has been resolved and I am on F3d. I cloned my NVME and am now in the process of updating Sonoma to 14.4.1.

[backinblackx86]

Something isn’t quite right. After the 14.4.1 update, it rebooted back into 14.3 @Lorys89 @fabiosun

[backinblackx86]

The update shows under system preferences, it installs and asks to restart. Upon restart, “macos installer” is now shown in the Opencore picker and runs until reboot. Last the installation for update is selected by default in the opencore picker and runs for approximately ten minutes. However, upon reboot, still loads 14.3.

I am attempting a fresh install of Sonoma from a 14.3 recovery disk.

”Hello

I've been investigating and discovered the problem. I had all the kexts updated to their latest version.

Solution:

Set the SecureBootModel to Disabled instead of Default under the Misc>Security section of your config.plist.”

We talk about it in another thread in Italian and in English😉

The system continues to function well. I recently enabled iServices as well as Airdrop with a Broadcom Wifi/BT pci-e card.

Uptime of 19 days so far. I do see there is an update for Sonoma 14.4.1-> 14.5. I will clone my current installation and test.

I have been running a T705 for ten days now without any hiccups other than one during the installation. You might wanna try it if you want.

Are you using the T705 with Sonoma 14.5 or 14.4.1 ?

[fabiosun]

@backinblackx86the only thing to pay attention is that @Jaidyuse a trx40 and i do not think this platform has a pci nvme 5.0 slot (i could be wrong) 🙂

@fabiosun is right, there is no pcie 5 port on my system, a trx40. Also I must mention I have a Samsung 990 pro SSD which I previously used for macOS. The T705 isn’t any faster in day to day usage as it’s random I/O performance is a tiny bit less than 990 pro. So if your use case isn’t moving lots of big files around, you should skip it

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

no if you have a solid backup and you update >Opencore kexts, kernel patches 🙂

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

7980x (if it has 128 threads) is not supported from any OSX

7970x is the best (in OSX)

more than 64 cores are unsupported so you have to lock 7980x CPU to 64!
