sothink Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Hi there,  First of all I would like to say thanks to you for sharing the experience and your EFI folder. I did install 10.14.5 to my PC successfully.  I have the same cpu and use the same ssdt but the turbo speed of my cpu is 3.3Ghz maximum. I also checked the CPU with intel power gadget and my turbo speed with 1 cpu core never passes 3.3Ghz, it should have been 3.6GHz with 1 core if I have not been wrong.  My Geekbench score is 10-20% lower than yours both single and multi cores    Edited December 15, 2019 by sothink edit for more information 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verdazil Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hi, @sothink Thanks for the feedback. I think there are two circumstances. 1. You need to check if there are any CPU performance limitations in the BIOS settings. 2. Not all E5-2698 CPU are the same. There are more successful and less successful devices. Some work better in Turboboost, support higher frequencies, others work weaker. I have heard many times that this CPU under full load cannot provide a Turboboost frequency 3.3 GHz for all 8 cores at the same time. My CPU can. With a moderate load (The task is to verify the integrity of the dmg package, see report of Intel Power Gadget below), mine can support the following frequencies: 3 cores x 3,6 GHz 2 cores x 3,5 GHz 2 cores x 3,4 GHz 1 core x 3,2 GHz ========== On average - 3,47 GHz Unfortunately, not everyone E5-2689 can work in this mode.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have completely different hardware, you can not use simple file copy paste. Please refer to the general manual for installation of the system and the solution of arising problems.

Thanks for your reply.  My board is an X79-8D, for now I have only Xeon 2689 and 32GB RAM.  If I use your EFI folder it works, but the processor speed stuck and 2,6.  Using ssdtPRGen.sh I got this message:  System information: Mac OS X 10.15.2 (19C57) Brandstring 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2689 0 @ 2.60GHz' Generating ssdt.dsl for a 'MacPro6,1' with board-id [Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6] Sandy Bridge Core E5-2689 processor [0x206D7] setup [0x0a01] With a maximum TDP of 115 Watt, as specified by Intel Number logical CPU's: 16 (Core Frequency: 2600 MHz) Number of Turbo States: 10 (2700-3600 MHz) Number of P-States: 25 (1200-3600 MHz) Injected C-States for C000 (C1,C3,C6,C7) Error: board-id [Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6] not supported by Sandy Bridge – check SMBIOS data / use the -c option  I'm very new on this, I will appreciate your help.

verdazil Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 @robert0p23, why do you need your own ssdt.dsl? We have identical CPUs and my ssdt.dsl should work fine for you. Check also BIOS settings. There should be no frequency restrictions and Turbo boost should be turned on.

I'm using all your EFI folder, not mine. I can't see any related turbo settings on the Bios.  Maybe is because I'm using Catalina?

verdazil Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 @robert0p23, you could use "all my EFI folder" only if we had a completely identical hardware. However, we have different motherboards. Although similar. Try to delete the file /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml If necessary, I will send later detailed BIOS settings related to CPU Power Management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakubW Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Hey, thanks for this thread. I was considering they route to get a hack pro config for some time, and this Mobo was quite appealing. Just was wondering, if there is any reason for the fixes in the ACPI section   As well as the CPU info (apart from the CPU type Xeon E5) I changed the Serial no. and MLB. Also, wouldn't it be better to make a SSDT for the USB ports or generate a kext to inject instead of the patch? As mentioned, just wondering, as the most stuff I tested works as expected Edited June 28, 2020 by JakubW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course. You can also make the so-called Legacy USB kext. All of these different methods give equally good results if they are correctly executed.

JakubW Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Well... EH01 and EH02 are USB 2.0 controllers (EHCI) Which would probably correspond to the chipset used in this board, the USB 3.0 controller is probably VIA and runs over AppleUSBXHCIPCI  I will retry editing the SSDT, as it now is set up correctly for USB 2.0 ports  Edited June 30, 2020 by JakubW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakubW Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I don't think the external controller would be an issue here, as the port count looks legit 4 USB 3.0 for front and back as well as 4 USB 2.0 for front and back so the USBInjectAlll kext doesn't affect this controller Edited June 30, 2020 by JakubW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything You changed in the DSDT that was added to Patched before? 1. LAN Builtin Patch is not needed, the LAN works like a native with RealtekRTL8111.kext 2. DSDT.aml was made to fix basic errors in the PC BIOS; as a matrix for applying CPU Power Management and NVME-Desktop-icon patches; to simplify Clover setup.  Of course, everything can be done in other ways, you can experiment.
