Whats issues? I've been using clover with x99-e ws with 5830 for the past 5 month, haven't seen any issues

 

 

Word of warning, the WS has done compatibility issues with the uefi version of clover. You may end up having to use the legacy version.

It seems to have more problems with the mem map than other boards, some people have had 0 issues as long as they use the proper efi drivers, others have had constant issues and have stopped using the true efi bootloader. That's about all I know as I don't own the board. Perhaps the people having problems are just missing something, idk.

I have X99-E WS with 5960x and i get constant reboot with clover UEFI. I successfully installed El Capitan with clover legacy but i have retuned to Yosemite because of tons of problems.

it's strange...i installed it with augustopaulo guide, i'm now with EC same conf like yours + TB card and everything works perfectly, Clover UEFI too..

maybe you didn't set bios correctly

it's not the same as Brumbaer's patch!

It's the same patch. Same test, same place - different byte code though.

Anyway, many thanks for publishing it.

Yes, same function but the register and compare involved had changed.

All rep goes to Brumbaer for finding the problem!

Sorry, I phrased that badly.

 

I wasn't talking about the "rep", I wanted to point out that it is virtually the same piece of code and that Apple didn't address the problem.

 

Registers have changed, the address is of course different, - recompiling the same source with a different compiler and/or settings could lead to that, even without source changes -  

but the "logic" of the test and it's surroundings hasn't changed, so we are stuck with the same problem and not confronted with a new one.

Yep, it's really weird. I expected NUMA support and new MacPro with dual E5 v4.

Instead, we got some ridiculous Siri. xD

And let's not forget, the ability to beam, all your docs and everything you're working on, to NSA.

Hey guys. I wanted to give some credit to the members of this thread. I was following along with tutorials from the TM site, but, I used Brumbaer's patch from this thread to get my 5930K working. It also works for my 6950X (yeah, Broadwell-e)! So, thanks. I'll post my geek bench for the 6950K. I'll try to get the scores up in the next few days and report back with any tweaks that I ended up doing.

 

Thanks y'all!

Anyone that can afford that cpu can probably spring for a GB license.   :lol:

 

Seemed better than buying a Mac Pro with 3yr-old hardware for even more! I basically inherited a gigantic Mac/Xcode project and compile times are horrendous enough that it'll pay for itself over the rMBP that I've been using.

 

Re: geekbench, good call. Here is the 64-bit. I don't expect to be doing much benchmarking, but, $14 is aight. Here ya go...
