onmybikedrunk Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hey all, It looks like Pike is willing to help out, and wants to take a look at the darwindumps. Presumably those with the 5960X could boot into 10.10.5 to get this. You can use the tool here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282794-darwindumper/ Great! See link below for my DD report. My machine info is in my sig, but here's some detailed info: I'm running 10.10.5 with the 5960X on a Asus X99 Sabertooth TUF board with 32Gb of 3000mhz DDR4. Two 980 Ti's, an official Apple/BT Broadcom PCI card, a 950 Pro PCIe NVMe M.2 and external USB audio (no patch needed). This is a fresh install - done only a few days ago so data should be pretty "clean". I tried emailing Pike a few weeks ago but never got a response. I may have a very old email for him though, it's a yahoo.com address. Not sure if you're in direct contact with him... Download my darwindumper report here. I ran all the categories listed in the config options. Keep us posted and thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the tool here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282794-darwindumper/ Hi jonisign, Please find here my zip file dump from drawindumper for pike to analise. One other thing, I've managed, somehow, to get the right combination of BIOS settings, Kexts & Clover config.plist options to enable me to have FULL CPU POWER MANAGEMENT on a 5960x@Yosemite, with throttling speed/states from 1.2GHz (X12) all the way to 4.5GHz (x45) !!! Please see details of configurations used inside zip file. If someone is interested just let me know. Boa sorte!

jonisign Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Awesome, thanks for posting! I just messaged him as a comment on his blog and he's been replying through that. I can send all this when we have a a darwindump from something that is able to successfully boot El Capitan in addition to these 5960X dumps. Maleorderbride, if you wouldn't mind doing a dump from your 12 core Xeon that would be wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balamut Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hi fellas, sorry was out in Vegas for a while. Here are the Clover and Darwin Dumps for 5930k/X99-E WS, I still have the 5960x CPU if needs testing. 5930k_X99-e_WS_CloverDump.zip 5930k_X99-E_WS_DarwinDump.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisign Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey all, Thanks for these posts, right now we have darwindumps for: 5960X on a Asus X99 Sabertooth TUF 5960X on EVGA X99 Classified 5960X on ASUS X99 Deluxe U3.1 5930K on X99-E WS golfleep, could you post a darwindump for your 5960X on X99-E WS? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfleep Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Here's the Darwin Dumper output, hopefully between Balamut's 5930k and my 5960x build on the Asus X99-E WS pike can find something to solve! 5960x X99-E WS DarwinDumper.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisign Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Alright, I sent the dumps from the X99-E WS for the 5930K and 5960X off to Pike! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shilohhh Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Anyone tried 10.11.3 with supposed haswell-e support yet? I dont have the hardware to test but If you want to give it a go, try the attached SSDT to avoid 10.11's USB2 nightmare. Put it in EFI/CLOVER/acpi/patched for your USB installer and your boot drive. I'm working on other X99 ACPI stuff too, if you want to test? SSDT-8.aml.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmybikedrunk Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Anyone tried 10.11.3 with supposed haswell-e support yet? Giving it a go now... EDIT: No go. I'm so close to buying a f&*%$ing 5930K and ditching the two cores for a **now** fully supported CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maleorderbride Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I moved to 10.11.3 with my Xeon and while it does have vanilla turbo/speedstep, it seldom is entering those turbo states on a sustained render. Heck, most of the time it stays 300Mhz below its highest non-turbo state. The only marked improvement I see is that my idle CPU power usage has dropped from ~22Ws to ~12Ws ;p I think this needs more work, an SSDT or something, to control my CPU a bit better.

I think ssdtprgen should be able to make one. I believe it has info for haswell-ep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain134 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks to everyone for their hard work. I do not have a system right now running 10.11 so I have no way of installing to a HD. I did try to make a clover usb with 10.11.3 and tried stinga11 kext and the ssdt attached but it is same deal (as I expected because clover can't inject kext on our system). If I can get my hands on a system running 10.11 (so that I can install to a HD from within 10.11) I will try messing again. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulftown Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have gotten a couple of different failure modes I am using rampagedev's guild to build my 10.11.3 USB I have put shilohh's ssdt in EFI/CLOVER/acpi/patched I have NVMeGeneric.kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11 I have stinga's IOPCIfamily in EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/10.11 Boot Flags -v npci=0x2000 nv_disable=1 kext-dev-mode=1 One error i get is [config pci begin] then restart (no hang) <-- this is different for me - normally [config pci begin] hangs and i have to hold power button to reset The second error comes very early in the process of trying to boot the installer. OSxAptiFoxDrv: Starting overrides for .IABootFiles\boot.efi Using reloc block:no, hibernate wake: no Error allocating 0x1232b pages at 0x00000000ae47000 a;;pc tu[e 2 Cannot allocate runtime area Boot failed, sleeping for 10 seconds before exiting.... on the second error I can still ctrl+alt+del to reset the system so it is not a total hang I will say when i have the [PCI configuration begin] error on yosemite - the way i fix it is by manually deleting the kernelcache file in S\L\caches\com.apple.kext.caches\startup Since the Installer has a prelinkedkernel opposed to kernelcache. I have tried removing the prelinkedkernel, but it has no effect. not sure if this helps anyone - but figured i would share my experiences x99 deluxe (bios 2101), 5960x, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maleorderbride Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I think ssdtprgen should be able to make one. I believe it has info for haswell-ep. I'll take a look. I made one with Stinga's instructions earlier which is what I am using now. Hmm, PIke has changed ssdtPRgen recently. I can no longer even make an SSDT using it. Instead I receive an error about "unknown model" even if I supply all necessarily information manually (which is what I did earlier and which worked). BTW, my 8-core Xeon (E5-2667 V3) boots 10.10.5/10.11.2 (haven't tried in on .3 yet) without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hello to everyone on this thread, the main reason to posted in this thread is to inform everyone interest on, EL Capitan vs i7 5960X that my part of the deal to contribute or DONATE an i7 5960X and a 16GB corsair ram kit for testing on this project is been call off by me personally. Why, cause my part of the deal was to lend the hardware to Stinga11 for him to do all the testing and for other help him as well and I haven’t seen no interest neither from Stinga11 nor from PikeAlpha so that’s why I have decide to call off the part of my deal anyone else can continue on with Onmybikedrunk’s part of the deal, I rather wait till apples come with some support on the 5960X if they ever will. So if anyone still interest on this piece of hardware PM me and I will let you know how much will cost you, Thanks for the effort and contribution and time spent on this project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your original offer and support. A note about donations: If for some reason this does "fizzle out" and becomes more of a hassle than it's worth I will refund everyone their donations. The future looks bleak, and although Pike is taking a look at all the Darwindumps he is also a very busy guy. Who knows what the future will bring us... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now.

Someone made it possible "Apple's latest OSX Yosemite / OSX EL Capitan" I'm guessing it's probably running Yosemite. Ebay listings can be very misleading.
