Haha,

 

here were 400 reboots in one month period (12h/day), I have tried all distros from MLion further. Then stopped fooling around and went back feeding kids. The best I have achieved (for stable) was a working Yosemite (w/o patching dsdt/ssdt) with only one cpu and gtx950. I didn't manage to install El Capitan because at the time I didn't understand the prohibit logo at setup. Now I know that usb had stopped functioning. I am very satisfied with this Sierra built on Z620. Dual Xeon on mac and 96Gb RAM are great :)

 

There are some geekbench3 results on Z620 if anybody is intrested in...  all are w/o patching dsdt/ssdt

Your scores are OK I think..

Thank you !

 

For performance issue, In my opinion, if you can show "CPU works 3GHZ during Cinebench testing". There are no performance issue.  I found the answer was in your picture but it trimmed at right hand side. (#46)

 

Cheers.

I have read some people about problems with audio. I've just check the section on my guide and  I think all info is explained. I know it's hard, but be patience and follow the guide step by step.

 

But maybe there is something wrong or bad explained because of my bad English. Please, tell me when you stuck, and I'll try to fix the guide.

Dear bro,

I got kernel panic after update 10.12.5---->10.12.6

please help.

Kernel Panic in Backtrace with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext according to your picture you have posted.

See the first page, in the tutorials is written:

 „Now we are going to install the tool to check our C and P - states. The usual tools are the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext or the most recent the AppleIntelInfo.kext , they both from piker. But none of them work. They cause a kernel Panic in our PC. Fortunately, one user from this forum patched a right version a time ago. I don’t know the kind of patch , and if it depends of the architecture , bios (msr-locked) or whatever. It’s and old version, but it works.“

 

Delete or remove the Apple standard AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo.kext from S/L/Extensions and replace it with this one here:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295200-testers-needed-cpu-power-management-for-sb-and-ib-xeons-or-i7-39xx-on-x79-or-c60x-chipset/page-3?do=findComment&comment=1986508

then repair the permissions and refresh the kernel cache.

 

Edit:

and check your bootargs

Thanks Bilbo, great post.

I followed your post, and I get Sierra 10.12.16 works on my Z820 now. 

My Z820 HW Spec: 2X E5-2660 V2, 20 CPU Cores. 1X EVGA GTX 1060 Graphics,  card 8X16G DDR3 memory, 1X512G SSD, 1 LSI 9260-8I Raid card (I abandoned the LSI 2308 for it can not work on Sierra).

 

  • The system works stable, but I have the following problems.
  • Firewire can not work : if we using FixHPET option in Clover ACPI options, firewire can not be found. But if you don't us this fix option, although we can see firewire, system will reboot in about 30 seconds.
  • USB 3.0 can not work.
  • Sound card can not work with AppleHDA, my workaround is using voodooHDA 2.8.6, but poor quality of sound. I have to use USB earphone.

 

I have DSDT, SSDT. Some versions of hack drivers have bugs and will make system crack, so I have tried many versions.

See the picture of my system I attached.

 

Now I can use Sierra to run latest Xcode version on my Z820, I don't have to always transfer to my Macbook pro. That's great.

 

 

If someone can help me to solve this problem, I will be very happy:)

using this:

SASMegaRAID.kext


Open the DSDT. Locate Devices IPCI, TIMR and RTC (use search function).

IPCI should be IPIC 


Now firewire works. The reason is that I could not find IPCI, after change it to IPIC, I rm the IRQ in DSDT and then it works.

Dear bro,

I got kernel panic after update 10.12.5---->10.12.6

please help.

Drop your SSDT.aml and boot to your system and then try to regenerate your SSDT.aml using ssdtPRGen.sh. The latest version of ssdtPRGen may not work, try using another version from author's website.

Thanks, guide fixed ;)

  • USB 3.0 can not work.

... Some versions of hack drivers have bugs and will make system crack,

 

USB3

Anyone has native usb3 working. The simplest way is add one usb3  pci card. But I´d like fix this also.

 

AUDIO

I quote myself:

But maybe there is something wrong or bad explained because of my bad English. Please, tell me when you stuck, and I'll try to fix the guide.

 

...But maybe with Sierra the proccess had to be updated

 

 

Drivers:

 

It´s a known problem. The lsi 2308 hacked drivers don't work on SIerra

Just joining the party - I just got a used Z620 (dual 2660v2) with a Quadro M4000 that I'm trying to get Sierra on. This isn't my first Hackintosh, but this machine makes it much more complicated than the forgiving GA-H77-DS3H board... So far no success (USB installer KPs at AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext), but I'll get there, eventually...

Greetings aphid,

 

Just follow the Z820 instructions to the letter and you should be able to get it working on your machine.  You'll definitely get there eventually!!  Enjoy your Sierra on your "MacPro"!

 

I'm a total newbie for this but great at following instructions. I'm waiting (patiently) for a set of instructions for Sierra and hopefully High Sierra for the Dell Precision T7910 for my next Hackintosh!

Good luck!

For anyone trying to get the native USB 3.0 ports to work, I would recommend buying this PCI-E card: Ableconn PUSB31P2A USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) 2-Port Type-A PCI Express (PCIe) x4 Host Adapter Card - Support Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra and Windows 10/8

Works like a charm OOB on the latest Sierra release. It costs around US $30.00, but you get the latest gen2 10gbps USB 3.1 connectivity. You can pick either Type-A, Type-C or Type-A and Type-C mixed depending on your needs.
