  4. Hi - If I understand your query correctly, you can find the OCAT app here - https://github.com/ic005k/OCAuxiliaryTools If you're asking about OC 1.0.1 version, follow @Anto65 post above.
  5. Would these sorts of devices allow one to truly test functionality? If I use tb to USB adapter and a USB device plugged in works, is it guaranteed that it is working via functioning tb, versus working by virtue of the interconnect compatibility between USB and tb?
  6. You should think nothing. Just use buildme. The default toolchain is GCC131. If you have no gcc then buildme will create new one from sources 14.1. Without asking you "do you want version 13 or 14?". With what version of xcode do you really use XCODE5 toolset? Did you ask Acidanthera about Xcode version? Toolset is toolset and it has own enumeration.
  7. Thanks @Mieze, good advice. I wouldn't want to waste any more money on this. After more digging around on my system looking at DMAR and VT-d I'm coming back around to suspecting that the kext patch needs an update. EDIT: I downloaded the installers for 14.5 and 14.4.1 and am currently comparing the binaries for the kext in question. 0F845003 0000 is still in the binary for 14.5. I'll keep looking...
  8. @J Lamp The Sonet Solo is whitelisted in the Aquantia driver which makes it an OOB solution but it has a sever thermal issue. I bought one 3 years ago but it didn't survive a single week in my home server where it replaced an ASUS card which used to work flawlessly more than 2 years in the same slot. No need to explain that the card was returned immediately. This was also the reason why I switched to Intel X520-DA1 with fiber optics SFP+modules or DAC cables.
  9. @Slice, thanks for the link to the DMAR discussion. I've got a feeling that this is where the issue lies after the update. I'm still looking into it. @etorix, I appreciate the alternate card suggestions. I'd rather not spend money on this, but this card has stopped working so many times after updates that it may simply be time to try something else. If either of you or anyone else can clue me in on how to extract the binary from the prebuilt partition I can look into seeing if the patch has changed. What I find interesting is that a AQC107s https://www.sonnettech.com/product/solo10g-pcie-card.html apparently does work (in real macs anyway.) The "s" supposedly stands for security (I don't know what exactly that means in context of the hardware itself.) Macs are supposed to load the firmware on an AQC in a similar fashion to what they did with Broadcom hardware. Maybe the issue is that the card isn't getting the firmware properly?
  10. Download OC 1.0.1 from here https://dortania.github.io/builds/?product=OpenCorePkg&viewall=true&version=1.0.1&sha=7af12eca7814565a66a2fc9bb260c817f0952e65 Import then to OCAT https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pdSfFr6zN-vpQ-WhPoERUWqZ3tuTu1Cq/view?usp=drive_link
  11. where did you get the 1.0.1 version of OCAT? I can only find the version for OCAT 0.95 from December 2023.
  12. https://www.punto-informatico.it/macos-15-tutte-le-novita-di-apple-in-attesa-del-wwdc/
  13. What would be advantage? The git page doesn't seem to have much in the readme. Thanks
  14. I don't understand what you means. Can you explain (I'm a newbie, sorry)?
  15. How to use gcc 14.1.0 for building. This version is marked in build_gcc14.sh. Thanks
  16. Hi, planning on using 6950xt on Mac, also installing windows 11. On windows would like both GPUs available. I7 14700k, Asus z790 creator, re devil 6950 XT. I was going to use bootarg -wegnoigpu, but if I choose windows drive in opencore, that probably means no iGPU? It will be enabled in BIOS, so should I just plan to boot windows from bios only, or is there elegant way to do this in opencore? Maybe an ssdt that disables on Mac? Would be great if opencore had logic "disable this iGPU on this chosen SSD only" Thanks
  17. Hi @Slice It's working for me. "latest" is redirected to : https://github.com/jief666/BootloaderChooser/releases/tag/1.4. So if I don't mistaken, it took the latest tag !
  18. Last week
  19. Yes, 12th gen and newer. I had 9900 for a while and the performance of my i3 12100F is just better. System is snappier and feels faster. Not that this will make i9 9900 bad CPU, just remember my excitement to play with i9 9900 thinking this is a beast of a CPU.
  20. What do you see if you run pmset -g sched? I get the following: poirot@Hercules-iMac ~ % pmset -g sched Repeating power events: wake at 4:45AM weekdays only sleep at 10:00PM every day Scheduled power events: [0] wake at 05/24/2024 19:46:13 by 'com.apple.alarm.user-invisible-com.apple.acmd.alarm' [1] wake at 05/24/2024 23:08:07 by 'com.apple.alarm.user-invisible-com.apple.calaccessd.travelEngine.periodicRefreshTimer' [2] wake at 05/25/2024 13:50:57 by 'com.apple.alarm.user-invisible-com.apple.acmd.alarm' poirot@Hercules-iMac ~ %
  21. As much as I like the 9th gen Intel, I must admit that the new i3s (4c/8t) for around $100 gives way better results in single-core and similar results in multi-core tasks.
  22. I didn't have one before, but I made an RTC0 following the dortania instructions, and made sure that it was enabled. It didn't seem to make any difference. SSDT-RTC0-fixed.aml
  23. I conducted performance tests of my "new" toy here. The graphics performance of the Radeon RX560x (the Mobile version of RX560) is impressive. For those who are still considering the purchase of a G4 Mini vs. a G5 Mini and you are looking for the best bang for your buck, I would recommend the G4 Mini and an upgraded power supply. When you pair the G4 Mini with a higher wattage power supply (e.g., 150W), you'll get a CPU performance bump. HP implemented power supply sensing in the G4 Mini to increase PL2 power limit with increasing power supply wattage. HP does not implement adaptive power limits in the G5 Mini. I have tested my G5 Mini / i9-9900 with 90W, 150W and 230W power supplies and the GB5 CPU benchmarks remain unchanged. EDIT: Remember that to maximize performance of these Mini's you need to populate both memory slots with equivalent SODIMMs. HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini 65W i9-9900 GB5 CPU Benchmark EDIT2: You'll need to test your own hack to measure performance, since ambient room temps, proper application of thermal paste and copper vs. aluminum heatsink will affect your CPU performance. Also, I can't guarantee that HP continues to implement dynamic power limits if they release new BIOS versions.
  24. I attempted to perform benchmarks with an i7-8700 65W CPU, but my 35W Mini shut down during the GB5 CPU benchmark. There were no POST errors when booting the 35W Mini with i7-8700 and macOS booted without issues. The CPU fan (with copper heatsink) spun up considerably during the benchmark. No permanent damage was done, as the Mini booted up without issues after shutting itself down. It does appear that the i7-8700 requires the full complement of MOSFETS / Power Inductor Choke Coils on the 65W Mini. EDIT: I measured i5-8600 CPU power / temps with Intel Power Gadget. According to Power Gadget, Pkg Power exceeded 80W and CPU Pkg Temps reached ~90C. EDIT2: I read here that i7-8700 power draw can reach 130W. Here, it says that i5-8600 power draw can reach 105W. Note that the 65W TDP published by Intel for both i5-8600 and i7-8700 can't be used when assessing total actual power draw for a system. EDIT3: If I get the chance, I will extract PL1/PL2 limits on this HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini 35W. Based on these test results, it appears that the 65W and 35W units have the same PL1/PL2 limits (which makes sense since they appear to have the same BIOS). It appears that the 35W units don't do anything to restrict the CPU any more than the 65W units restrict CPU. The method to extract/assess PL1/PL2 is documented here. EDIT4: According to TechPowerUp here, the max power draw of the RX560x is 75W. While this is a very rough total system power estimate, combining the 105W i5-8600 with the 75W RX560x yields a total Max power consumption of 180W (without factoring in power consumption of the other system components including RAM, Motherboard, SSD). I recognize that the power limits in the HP BIOS will restrict CPU power, but this total power estimate suggests that a 150W power adapter is insufficient if expecting to max-out the capabilities of this HP Mini.
