razor7 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Hi! After reading the whole OpenCore Install Guide I was able to install BigSur on my rig: Huananzhi X99 F8 (See picture) Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 64 GB RAM ECC Aorus RX580 8GB NVNe Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB NVNe Kingston SA2000M81000G 1TB Uploaded EFI folders are, one for the install USB (with full debug enabled and logging to file in the USB stick) and the other for the post install EFI overwrite. It lacks cosmetics for OpenCore. BIOS settings I was able to find in my BIOS (? means not found): Disable - Fast Boot - Secure Boot - Serial/COM Port ? Parallel Port - VT-d (can be enabled if you set DisableIoMapper to YES) - CSM ? Thunderbolt ? Intel SGX ? Intel Platform Trust - CFG Lock (MSR 0xE2 write protection) CodeRush's UEFI patch Enable - VT-x - Above 4G decoding ? Hyper-Threading - Execute Disable Bit - EHCI/XHCI Hand-off ? OS type: Windows 8.1/10 UEFI Mode ? DVMT Pre-Allocated(iGPU Memory): 64MB - SATA Mode: AHCI In the step Making the installer on MacOS (I created the install USB from another hackintosh with High Sierra) I had to run this command, because BigSur is not documented there: Quote sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume PS: I strongly recommend newcomers like me to read the full OpenCore install guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ At the ACPI step, create each file manually, it's not so difficult and you get tailored ACPI files EFIs.zip Edited December 12, 2020 by razor7 5 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/346040-success-install-bigsur-on-huananzhi-x99-f8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

AslashA Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 You've got the processor power management in the wrong way. The results should be higher! For comparison, look at my result.

razor7 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi! Thanks for sharing, I get the same result in macOS and Windows 10, what can I do to improve the score? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/346040-success-install-bigsur-on-huananzhi-x99-f8/#findComment-2747729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AslashA Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hmm. It's strange that you have so few points in Windows too. You probably need to check your BIOS settings.

Which BIOS version are you using 2. Have you tried the "Bios engineer" version to get the all core turbo thing going? 3. Is the ECC Ram really running in ECC mode - ? I think there is a specific BIOS for this and I am not sure if Hackintosh works with this.
