    Replacing sata SSD with Nvme

    Up to now the boot time seems to be the same as before. I also installed the nvmefix.kext just for the sake of good order. I will monitor the situation to see if I get any problem in the long run, and hope that the updated firmware of the nvme was indeed of assistance. I would like to thank...

    Replacing sata SSD with Nvme

    Really...? It is the first time I hear this. So, this problem only occurs with Samsung nvme ssds or with all nvme ssds? Fyi for the time being I will not upgrade to Monterey as when I tried to do so I had all shorts of problems like my ethernet and BT not working etc.

    Replacing sata SSD with Nvme

    Hi! My rig can be seen in my signature. I will replace my sata samsung ssd with a samsung 980 Nvme. Do I need to add any specific kext for the nvme to be recognized and work normally in Big Sur or there is no need for a specific kext? Many thanks!

    macOS Monterey Patches Released

    Hi I am a little confused. I am downloading right now Monterey stable release 12.0.1 via the normal update method in Big Sur. I am using OC 0.74 and the SecureBootModel is set to default. Should I set it to "disabled" before the PC restarts? Also my SmBios is iMacPro1,1. Is this OK for...

    [Pre-Release] macOS Monterey

    I had the same problem. I downloaded the update from Mr Macintosh website and run the installer.

    This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform!

    Also keep in mind that GTX 970 is supported up to High Sierra and you need to install the nvidia web drivers.

    Gaming Performance?

    My audio seems fine. Maybe for some GPUs there is no downside...?

    Gaming Performance?

    Saw a big difference too! Almost double score difference. See a test I tried in Unigene Heaven comparing Algrey's and Shaneee's patches. Is there any downside to this?

    Intermittent Slow Boots [SOLVED]

    So I think I found what the problem was. My main two drives (I have dual boot win10 and macOS) are two SSDs. I had an old and slow M.2 drive lying around so I said why not use it just as storage, so I installed same on the M.2 slot of my motherboard. This is when the problems started. I took it...
