AudioGod's ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E - Big Sur & Monterey Beta - OpenCore 0.7.4 EFI

[AudioGod]

I went on a mission to get myself a Asus Crosshair VIII Hero DARK HERO as a freebie and failed miserably but in my pursuit for the motherboard I hassled the company so much that to shut me up they gave me a ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING instead.

Anyway, as it happens to be my personal all round favourite X570 motherboard it would of been rude of me not to tear down my system and rebuild it with the X570-E mounted inside it instead.

Everything is working apart from the internal mic inputs and SideCar but everything else like Sleep, PowerNap, Wake, All iCloud functions inc AirDrop, iMessage, Handoff, AppleWatch Unlock etc etc work perfectly.

I have fully mapped USB manually on all ports and there's no micro stutters or freezes or anything else strange that you can think of.

What Doesn't Work

SideCar

Internal Mic Input

 

As the iMacPro has now been discontinued I thought it was only right to stop using smbios iMacPro1,1 for my EFI setups and use MacPro7,1 instead but this also means the EFI is only good to use with Catalina and Big Sur.

For any OS older then Catalina you would need to switch the smbios to iMacPro1,1 and modify the config.plist to suit it.

One of the advantages with using smbios MacPro7,1 is there are no renames necessary for the USB controllers allowing me to keep the USB mapping as close to how AMD/ASUS intended the USB Mapping to be.

 

A few very minor tweaks and changes might be needed to be done to make your system setup perfect so please make sure you read the Install & Post Install notes so you can make those last few changes quick and easily.

 

BIOS Settings

• Enter BIOS -> Press Delete -> Enter Setup
• Exit -> Load Optimised Defaults
• Ai Tweaker -> Ai Overclock Tuner -> D.O.C.P.
• Advanced -> CPU Configuration -> SVM Mode -> Enabled
• Advanced -> Onboard Device Configuration -> PCIEX16_1 -> Auto
• Advanced -> APM Configuration -> Power On By PCIe -> Disabled
• Advanced -> PCI Subsystem Settings -> Above 4G Decoding -> Enabled
• Advanced -> PCI Subsystem Settings -> Re-Size BAR Support -> Disabled
• Advanced -> USB Configuration -> Legacy USB Support -> Auto or Disabled
• Boot -> Boot Configuration -> Fast boot -> Disabled
• Boot -> CSM -> Launch CSM -> Disabled
• Boot -> Secure boot -> OS Type -> Windows UEFI mode
• Boot -> Secure boot -> Key Management -> Clear Secure Boot Keys

 

 

Install Notes

 

Using PlistEdit Pro, Xcode or ProperTree add your details by modifying the following

 

 

Nvram

Important - Before booting into MacOS using the new EFI for the first time make sure you reset your Nvram. (At the bootpicker press Space to reveal the option) Try to make this a habit and do it whenever you make system changes or upgrading the EFI to a newer version etc etc.

 

GPU

If your not using a RX 6800 or any other Navi GPU then remove agdpmod=ignore from the boot arguments.

 

Recovery Drive
I have the Recovery Drive and ClearNVRAM option hidden as standard in OpenCanopy, To reveal the options all you have to do is press the Space Bar when you get to the BootPicker.

IMPORTANT - PATCH INFO FOR SETTING THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the two algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.

Changing BA000000 0000/BA000000 0090* to BA <CoreCount> 0000 0000/BA <CoreCount> 0000 0090* substituting <CoreCount> with the hexadeciamal value matching your physical core count.

Note: The three different values reflect the patch for different versions of macOS. Be sure to change all three if you boot macOS 10.13 to macOS 12

See the table below for the values matching your CPU Core Count.

 

 

CoreCount	Hexadecimal
6 Core	06
8 Core	08
12 Core	0C
16 Core	10
32 Core	20

 

So for example a 6 Core 5600X would result in these replace values, BA 06 0000 0000/BA 06 0000 0090
Or a 12 Core 5900X that I have it setup as standard would result in these replace values, BA 0C 0000 0000/BA 0C 0000 0090

12 Core EXAMPLE


Finally and as always, MAKE SURE YOU RESET YOUR NVRAM BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE NEW EFI.

Post Install Notes

 

GPU

If your not happy with your geekbench results or want better frame rates while gaming and do not use audio over HDMI or DP then go into the Config.plist and navigate to Kernel -> Patch, Scroll down to the very last patch in the list (39) and enable it followed by disabling the patch directly above it (38). Save, Restart and your find your GPU geekbench score and frame rates in games will be better.

 

EXAMPLE

Spoiler

 

 

Intel Bluetooth & WiFi

Personally I prefer to use a native WiFi/Bluetooth Combo Card so I swapped out the Intel wireless combo card for a BCM94360NG instead.

If you would like to use the internal Intel wifi and bluetooth combo card then make sure you download and install the correct kexts from here.

https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless

 

Windows BootCamp

I have bypassed OpenCore when booting into any OS other then MacOS so Windows and Linux won’t see your PC as a MAC and no parts of the ACPI or your smbios Details will be loaded into any other OS.

This also means that bootcamp for windows will not work so if you wanted to use this feature then all you need to do is allow OpenCore to inject your smbios details again by making the following changes to the Config.plist.

 

Kernel -> Quirks -> CustomSMBIOSGuid -> No

PlatformInfo -> UpdateSMBIOSMode -> Create

 

 

If you need help then you’re welcome to get in touch and please do let me know how the EFI works for you.

I can see 36 or 40 but not 38, any idea??

 

And the last one, how can I find my mac address ( ROM ) ??? Thanks you so much.

The latest version bios update to use for our boards is 4002, They removed 3801 as it was beta and replaced with 4002 release. (Ive not updated the thread to say as much so sorry about that and I will update the thread in a moment)

 

To get your MAC address from your ethernet or WiFI (either will do) go into System Preferences->Network then select your ethernet port or Wifi and then select Advanced->Hardware and there you will find your Mac address (remove the : when transferring it to your config,plist)

Hi all,

my Graphics card died lately and the only card I could get was the RX 6800. It was really expensive but it work nicely with Big Sur 11.4. I was just wondering if I need any boot args for it. In the moment I´m using agdpmod=pikera, but I´m wondering if it's even necessary. Does anybody of you know?

[ennoclao]

OMG, now it´s is Ok. With your bios setting ( changing Operate system to other ) is Ok.  My 6800 XT is perfect and with Geekbech 5 1568 and 14443 soooo cooooool. Thanks so much.

But is there any problems with pci gen 4 for my hdd ( samsung 980 pci gen 4 )???? I have 2 samsung 980 pro PCI gen 4. Thanks in advance

No changes needed, I am using the same GPU as you are so my EFI is already setup correctly for it.

You can use PCIe gen 4 no problem but the SSD won’t give you any extra speed because as far as I am aware of there is no 4.0 support in MacOS so it’s just going to run at 3.0 speeds.

Also if you are using the latest bios revision (4002) you can set Advanced -> Onboard Device Configuration -> PCIEX16_1 to Auto instead of setting it to Gen3 so it runs at full speed in windows if you use it. 
 

Lastly and just in case you were having troubles, When you set Boot -> Secure boot -> OS Type -> Windows UEFI mode you also have to set Boot -> Secure boot -> Key Management -> Clear Secure Boot Keys or the system won’t boot via OpenCore. Sometimes you need to Clear Secure Boot Keys again after you restart the system for the first time after setting it too Windows UEFi Mode.

Thank you. It works great. Very powerful GPU the RX6800. I´m really curious which Mac is gonna be released with it. Maybe the first iMac that good enough for editing and gaming.

Hi, now I have a new problem. My 6800xt is in PCIEx_2 because in PCIEx_1 dont work propely but in PCIEx_2 only work  at x8 Do you have problem with your 6800??  Is it in slot 1?? at x16?? Thanks you so much

IMPORTANT PATCH INFO TO SET THE CORRECT CORE COUNT FOR YOUR CPU
Core Count patch needs to be modified to boot your system. Find the two algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package patches and alter the Replace value only.

Changing BA000000 0000/BA000000 0090* to BA <CoreCount> 0000 0000/BA <CoreCount> 0000 0090* substituting <CoreCount> with the hexadeciamal value matching your physical core count.

Note: The three different values reflect the patch for different versions of macOS. Be sure to change all three if you boot macOS 10.13 to macOS 12

See the table below for the values matching your CPU Core Count.

 

CoreCount	Hexadecimal
6 Core	06
8 Core	08
12 Core	0C
16 Core	10
32 Core	20

 

So for example a 6 Core 5600X would result in these replace values, BA 06 0000 0000/BA 06 0000 0090
Or a 12 Core 5900X that I have it setup as standard would result in these replace values, BA 0C 0000 0000/BA 0C 0000 0090
