Build Ryzen 9 9950X - ASUS ProArt x670e

[backinblackx86]

Hello, I now have an AM5 setup in need of booting MacOSx86 as the Trx50 has been put in use as a Linux Nvidia-gpu rendering server:

 

Ryzen 9950x 16-core

ASUS ProArt x670e

Corsair 192GB 4x48GB (CMK192GX5M4B5200C38)

FENVi T919 (Pulled from Trx50 build)

 

I never did get around to updating the Trx50 build beyond 14.4.1.

 

I would like to clone my Trx50 setup but perhaps starting fresh is ideal. Thoughts?

you could clone OSX and use a completely different EFI for it

you need to patch acpi and use proper kernel patches for your new 16 cores cpu 🙂

ACPI patches for ASUS ProArt x670E (thanks @CorpGhost from AMD discord server)

 

For FENVI/Broadcom WIFI for OSX greater than Ventura OS:

As advice i suggest to use only two dimm to install if you are not so confident with this new system

It works perfectly with your four dimm, but in an error situation it is a long boot procedure to recover

with two dimm all is more simple

I still have the 9950x sealed in the box and have yet to install it into a motherboard. Ideally, while I have one of the Pro-Art x670e servers offline, I should be able to upgrade the cpu and attempt to boot MacOS. How well does the Zen 5 perform compared against the Zen 4?

In real life about 10/15% faster

great advange are lower watt and lower temps

Well that might be ideal as I typically leave my MacOS system online 24/7.
