macOS Sierra and High Sierra - Gigabyte GA-X99-Ultra Gaming i7-6850K

  • macOS Sierra 10.12.3 working well on Gigabyte GA-X99-Ultra Gaming i7-6850K
    My graphics card its a gtx 1080 g1 pascal. and its not working since apple have no pascal support yet!
    Here it,s my EFI for Clover and Extra for Chameleon Enochhackintosh-forum.de/attachment/37070/ :danke2:

  • Your CPU is not working yet! Your benchmark values are relatively low.


    The i7 and 4,2GHz work on Geekbench 4 with more than 24000 Points

  • DaTec. 4,2GHz its only in clover ..it,s cosmetic thing. My cpu run just on stock 3,6

  • I Compiled and loaded the. AppleIntelInfo.kext. Can anybody say if it,s this ok with my power management ?


  • Welcome to the Party Pal, I have the same CPU and currently working on this..


    if you followed the guidelines of metacollin I can assure you it's somewhat not working as @MeO-Style found out as well.


    Feel Free to Post Progress here, you can follow mine over here: Link

    Builds :


  • Nice! Good to know that I can safely upgrade my 980ti to a 1080(ti) in the future.


    @sygey did you get that PowerManagement working? Mine crashes on loading the SSDT that was generated with the ssdtPRGen.sh script.. I'm still testing/trying new Stuff but I'm also very pleased with the current results.

    During installation, Clover will automatically create and mount the EFI drive of your Sierra system.


    6.)Download my ( PostinstallEFI.zip) extract and replace entyre EFI folder from your Sierra hard drive.


    7.) Download and run Piker-Alpha's freqVectorsEdit.sh to add missing FrequencyVectors. Clone download chose zip


    after download, drag the freqVectorsEdit.sh-master folder to your desktop, run terminal and type sudo (space) after this drag


    the freqVectorsEdit.sh from folder freqVectorsEdit.sh-master in to terminal, hit Enter, flow steps below.


    --- To do so, you have to choose some other plist-file from the drop-list, like e.g.


    Code (Text):


    [26] Mac-DB15BD556843C820.plist (iMac17,1)


    which does have frequencies already defined.

    Please choose the desired plist for your hardware (Exit/1-31) ? 26
    in your case maybe imack17,1 well be another number
    Triggering a kernelcache refresh ...


    Do you want to open Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6.plist (y/n)? type n

    12) i well atash HWMonitor app, just copy to applications and set to start wen mac starts.

  • Hello, very good work!


    Is it possible to adapt this installation to other processors? I have almost the same configuration as you: Gigabit Ultra Gaming X99, EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition, samsung 960 MVMe, but I have a Xéon E5 2630 V3 ...


    I suspect that IOCPUNumber must be changed (11 for the 6850 => 15 for the E5)


    But I do not know what other changes are necessary and if there are any-


    When I boot with clover, gets to the line:


    MAC Framwork successfully initialized
    AMFILoadTrustedKeysFromNVRam: failed getting NVRAM
    Using 16384 buffer headers and 10240 cluster IO buffer headers


    My level of knowledge does not allow me to do anything other than to solicit you!


    Thank you very much !

  • Hi! onsepakise!


    I think you must remove all dsdt and ssdt files from acpi patched folder from clover .


    And try not use all kext just try with essential kext fake smc and vodootscsync try to test with one by one kext


    maybe you can try just with the dsdt file inside acpi patched folder


    you have to play with some settings in clover config file ... special in Acpi section and Kernel & kext patches .


    And a very important think its...that my fake cpu ID 0x0306F2 its not god for your processor type you have to find a fake cpu id for your model and change it in config plist kernel and kext patches

  • How can I use this with i7-5960X ??


    Also
    "6.)Download my ( PostinstallEFI.zip) extract and replace entyre EFI folder from your Sierra hard drive."
    You mean the usb EFI or do this after the MacOS installation?

  • After the MacOS installation! Postinstall CLOVER.zip

  • Great work! I got this working on my Gigabyte Phoenix-X99 SLI mobo with the same processor and the Samsung 960 Pro SSD. Rather than using the HackrNVMe kext, I installed patch-nvme.


    Have you tried updating to 10.12.5? I'm scared to run the update now that I have a nice working system.

  • I turned on autoupdates and I never had problems.
    I,m running now 10.12.5 its very stable no issues
    I have 2 hard drives with macOS Sierra , one for testing and one working untouched sistem
    one the testing ssd I installed also beta versions 10.12.6 to test its all working ok on this sistem but no video on 10.12.6 because I no Nvidia web driver for this version....so no graphics!


    After you update to 10.12.5 you need to download new Nvidia web driver for 10.12.5 and install, after install don't restart just run and apply the AGDPfix and restart

  • Or simply use NvidiaGraphicsFixup alongside with Lilu - Generic kext patcher (neue Grundlage für AppleALC 1.1.x und Shiki 2.x.x) and never again care about ADGPfix :D

  • I installed High Sierra without any problems and xcpm works!


    All USB ports works but I'm pretty shore that not full . I mean I think it works just as usb 2.


    I not tested!


    Here are some screens an the files updated!
