[Guide] Mac OSX 10.12 and 10.13 with X99 Broadwell-E family and Haswell-E family

Missing AppleHDA patches in my config.plist... WHOOPPPSS! I forgot I swapped over an old config.plist to test XCPM patches. I'll retest again

Oops. Yes. There are 2 patches for fixing popping sound and losing sound after waking, which is from AppleALC as well. (Sorry. I didn't where them are from exactly...)

In my sample config. There are 7 patches for HDA related.

2x - Codec ID related

2x - Removing redundant logs

2x - Getting rid of popping sound and Fixing no sound after waking

1x - HDMI Audio Controller related

According to Pike, those values are incorrect. You should manually set the values in your BIOS according to CPU specs...

Not sure where it is on a Gigabyte board, but for Asus BIOS (see notes below):

MSR_PKG_POWER_LIMIT..............(0x610) : 0x7854000DF8460

Here's the correct location for setting TDP package settings (for Asus):
AI Tweaker/Internal CPU Power Management:

Set according to YOUR CPU specs:

((The following assumes you're not overclocking, otherwise, you'll have to adjust these figures to factor in the higher vCore usage))
L.D.P.P.L. = Max TDP according to Intel CPU specs
P.P.T.W. = Time (in seconds) before clocks are reduced when hitting L.D.P.P.L
S.D.P.P.L. = Max TDP + 20% (if hitting this TDP, it'll reduce clocks immediately)

Looks like the pop and freeze may not be related to audio... resetting everything back to the way it was and trying to eliminate the root...

PMheart · February 23, 2017

That's weird. AFAIK a wrong CPU Bus Speed may cause a popping sound...

Could because of the XCPM patch I removed... hard to tell... seems to happen every 2 hours or so...

I don't think so. Seriously... But anyway. You can also try to add it back.

I reset my S/L/E back to where I had it and included ONE of the AHCI port injector's. Continuing to run without the XCPM patch. I'll update if it still pops/freezes.

Update: Pop/Freeze without XCPM patch. Re-adding the patch and continuing testing. If this fails, it may the BIOS TDP settings, which I'll reset. If I get another freeze, then I'll swap over to my primary drive and check and see if this a possible hardware failure.

Despite loosing residency (missing C1-C3 states auto demotion as well)

MSR_PKG_C2_RESIDENCY.............(0x60d) : 0x0

MSR_PKG_C6_RESIDENCY.............(0x3f9) : 0x0

Performance remains the same (idle remains similar, but I only have two states: 1200 and 3700):

I see.

So what you mean? I assume that you have to re-add your previously removed patch related to XCPM back right?

And if not, you will only get 2 P-States like this?

Hmm...

Re-added the XCPM patch (the one I mentioned above). Been running about 3-4 hours and no freezing (so far). However, as you can see, I lost CPU states (see added notes in code box below):

Re-added the XCPM patch (the one I mentioned above). Been running about 3-4 hours and no freezing (so far). However, as you can see, I lost CPU states:

Also CPU-S only recognizes lowest multiplier and turbo (without the XCPM patch mentioned above, I get base 3500Mhz as well):

Ok. Congratulations!

In this case. Just keep that patch.

BTW. You are currently using AppleALC or the dummy kext that I gave you yesterday?

No congratulations. I'm still having CPU PM problems (missing power stepping)!!!

AppleALC. I'll switch over to your dummy kext tomorrow. Just want to be 100% sure it's the XCPM patch causing the freezes.

As far as performance, with the patch, it's relatively the same (as shown above). However, I noticed that it doesn't really idle (frequency spiking between 1.70ghz-2.95ghz || power hovers around 15W-17W //// without the patch, frequency stays between 1.45ghz-1.90ghz and power hovers around 12w-13w -- in other words, missing a base stepping frequency of 3.5hz):

Oops I'm a little confused...

So.

With the patch. You can't idle.

Without the patch. You can. But. You will got popping sound etc and you cannot get a high performance.

Is above right?

The problem isn't so much the popping sound, but the fact that it locks up the entire computer and I have to hard reset it.

PMheart · February 24, 2017

Yep that's also what I mean

Anyway, potential issues... Need further testing and.. waiting for it!

thenightflyer · February 24, 2017

Got a loud popping sound, then my computer froze (no KP). No crash reports in console.

Yes. However, I recommend not to use EIST in BIOS. I tested with it and found that it only achieved slightly above low scores (~15k for my CPU).

I have EIST enabled in bios with that patch in config and i've high scores too, but maybe it's because i've a different CPU i don't need to overclock.

mfc88 · February 25, 2017

As I suspected, it was the missing XCPM patch (without it, not stable). No more popping/freezing. Also, switched over to AppleHDA dummy kext.

Update to Sierra 12.4 Beta 3 (16E163f) and Clover r4012.

Again everything went well, without any intervention from me after the update. Just missing the new NV Web Drive to have full acceleration...

Can you do me a favor and run a Geekbench 4.04 test. I'm curious if you're getting full CPU PM.

As I suspected, it was the missing XCPM patch (without it, not stable). No more popping/freezing. Also, switched over to AppleHDA dummy kext.

And btw. Try to get rid of CodecCommander and just use my AppleHDA related patches from my config.plist sample above then test whether you can get sound after waking please?

CodecCommander was removed alongside AppleALC.

Last time I checked, sleep was partially broken. So I don't use it. (short sleep is ok (1-2min), but long sleep (15 min+) results in a black screen on wake)

Yup. I see.

But could you get sound properly without CodecCommander?

BTW. Same here. Previously CodecCommander caused a KP on my hack after waking. But actually. I found that I had no need for it later on

In my limited testing (4-5 hours), I haven't needed the CodecCommander.kext to run normally (again, I don't use sleep).

I see. If you don't sleep then you will have no need for it absolutely.
