You need help because usb ports?

[mavethee]

Sorta yes, but so far "the research" having this machine for a year, I've sorted out that internal USB ports that work are only USB2 ones, MacPro6,1 has them premapped on macOS so yeah, I switched to MacPro7,1, mapped USBs and well, USB3 ports seems to be dead and can't make USB3 ports over PCIe alive to OpenCore or BIOS so stuck with USB2 if I want to boot off something on USB.

hello, can I have your contact please, I am using HP Z420 and Big Sur, and everything is ok but I can't fix sleep, whenever it sleeps - it can't wake; another problem is that I am using a chip Xeon E5 2680v2 with frequency 2.8 (the turbo boost is 3.6) but macOS doesn't use at turbo boost mode frequency, do you have any suggestion for me! Thank you so much!

Bleibt nur der Bildschirm schwarz, oder ist der komplette computer dann aus? Welche Grafikkarte nutzt du genau? Das mit dem turbo modus ist nicht schlimm. entweder machst du ein cpu power Management , oder deaktivierst es im bios. Ich hab meine turbo modus zumindest nirgends deaktiviert.

I use Sapphire RX 570 (4Gb), and the PC is all sleep (the fan is stopped, and the screen is black), but when I tried to wake up it, it just sleeps around more 3 min before restarting (if I don't touch it, it will be sleep forever). Do you use HP Z420 as well? Thank you for the time to reply to me!

[thunfischente]

I check with Intel Gadget, and as you can see the highest frequency is 2.8; while Intel shows that Max Turbo Frequency is 3.6

Thank you so much and have a nice day!

• Turbo Boost won't work
• I don't focus on Big Sur, Monterey and Ventura only!
• USB3 ports won't work
• Figured out SMBIOS and USB case so it's MacPro6,1 again. If you have any issues regarding Ventura, change to MacPro7,1 for install. And for the love of God, don't send random EFIs xD

thank you so much, how about sleep in your PC Z420? I am using MacPro7,1 now!

Doesn't work as on most machines. just disable everything as follows in Fixing Sleep in Dortania Guide, any attempts on sleep will result in machine "clicking" sounds. My advice is expanding time of active display and setting up screensaver in addition.

In my opinion Sleep lacks of better explaination, I lately started figuring out fans detection also so if someone is more experience about it, feel free to send an advice.

You have try all fixes from this side https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/sleep.html#nvram emulated RAM and all others?

Yes I think when it need to much time to fix, better to change the board and CPU to a other one. In Internet easy to all people with Hackintosh if his systems work completely or not.

This machine have working NVRAM, no need for emulating it -_- And EFI you linked is bloated with old kexts and random things from Clover.

thanks so much for your precious time, in Monterey or Ventura, how about turbo boost frequency of your CPU, does it work or not?

It never worked for my E5-1650, it just stays at 3.2GHz.

So yeah if anyone have any ideas on setting up proper fan monitoring you can post here

[thunfischente]

Yeah, I don't see fan control on istats app

hello, I am using Big Sur 11.7.1 and now I want to upgrade to Monterey 12.6.1, however, it stucks at 2 minutes remaining, do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you!

[thunfischente]

I used your EFI and install Monterey again, it works, thanks so much, but I have a small question when I install it on SSD, Bluetooth can work well, but I restore macOS from SSD to NVMEfor faster speed, the Bluetooth can't work anymore although I use a native card which can work well at BigSur, do you have any suggestions for me, please! Thank you!

I don't use either NVMe SSD or BT card.

You need to use NVMeFix and kext responding to your BT chipset, not entirely sure what you have.

[thunfischente]

thank you so much, I fix all of them and it runs Monterey perfectly, your EFI is wonderful bro! Have a nice day for you!

Hello, today I tried to upgrade to Monterey 12.6.2, but it always stuck after downloading all necessary files, it shows 30 minutes left, and after that giving notification about checking the internet, anyone gets the same issue?
