Guys, is it worth to switch from iMacPro1,1 to MacPro7,1 SMBIOS? I have 3900x on Asus X570-p and RX 580. I use a LOT of USB stuff (easily 5 drives and 5-8 dongles) and it seems logical to me that a desktop workhorse SMBIOS would be better suited to Ryzentosh like this. Thanks.

Just like that? Any extra steps necessary?

Thank you! Does it actually help? Do you see tangible difference? I ask because I haven't seen the kext mentioned in any of the main howtos. I got rid of the Trulyspinach AMD power management kext as it doesn't do much (tested with a wattmeter), I'm trying to fix some of the audio/video/camera...

I'm seeing this VoodooTSCSync kext or its AMD equivalent, for improved syncing of CPU/video/audio clocks. I definitely do have issues with like the Zoom app, with audio/video freezing or stuttering, whereas FCPX and other video apps work flawlessly. Is the kext relevant for Ryzen 9 3900x...

Yes, by checking speed. You don't necessarily need to map USB. I didn't and everything works on my 3900x/RX580/Asus X570-p with like 15 USB devices plugged in EXCEPT sleep but then again there's no guarantee sleep will work even after mapping. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Shaneee, what does the patch actually do?

Yes, I tried Deus Ex Mankind Divided and indeed, Shanee's patch more than doubled the framerate. Geekbench Metal score went DOWN from 50k+ to 33k but who cares about benchmarks...

But the GPU perf boost is really HUGE! I tested with Deus Ex Manking Divided. Before it was barely playable on Medium, after it runs smoothly on Ultra :-o

GUI things like opening a folder on Dock seek much smoother BUT HDMI audio is garbled. Rx 580 on 3900x, ASUS x570-p mobo.

Hi, I'm looking for ways to disable the Aura LED controller that might (just might) block sleep on my Asus X570-p mobo (otherwise running great without any mapping, all ports work, hot swap, at full speeds). How do i do that? According to Hackintool, it's PRT6 with Location ID 0x6100000 at bus...

Actually VMware Fusion 10 runs so well I'm using it on my hack to run Adobe Character Animator that is Intel-only (fast_memset). It all works, even the Webcam features.

Character animator runs perfectly well in VMware Fusion 10 Windows virtual machine, including the Webcam support. I'm using it right now, in Unity view, so CA is just another window. Export through Media encoder is a bit slower as it's not hardware accelerated (GPU is, but encoding isn't), but...

How reliable is Activity Monitor and/or iStat Menus for GPU performance monitoring? I'm asking because I rarely see GPU utilization over 30-40 pct, even with GPU encoding apps like VideoProc (the encoding itself seems very fast with usually 3x-4x of source FPS. Ditto for FCPX. I have RX 580 8...

Check your crash log for intel_fast memset. It's an Intel-only library and any app that invokes it will crash, nothing can be done about it.

Has anyone got sleep working on Asus X570-p mobo? All my USB ports work perfectly at correct speeds without any USB mapping and I have no other issues, so I just don't want to do all that obtuse work if it's not guaranteed to work. Thanks!

Absolutely not, being able to finally disable it in Big Sur is its best feature :)

Just use Handbrake or VideoProc. You can't have it all with a Ryzen Hackintosh, sorry. There'll always be issues.

Hi, I'd like to disable the AURA LED Controller but it's hardwired onto an USB 3.2 controller I can't afford to lose. Is there a way to only disable the one port? It's port XHC0 (PRT6) with Location ID 0x61600000. The same XHC0 with Location ID 0x60600000 is an actual USB 3.2 port I'd like to...

Yes, safe. Nothing extra to be done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only old VMware Fusion 10 works (rather well) and VirtualBox but that's so severely buggy with Windows 10 it barely runs. Parallels won't work at all.
