Hey experts!
I seem to be in a very sticky situation with my current install. I have been trying to install OS X Sierra for months now, and I have had serious issues, and I have tried all sorts to no avail, and so I have decided to try and turn to the community here to see if there are any ideas.
I have set the UEFI BIOS settings as correct as possible, however I have one of two issues.
If I use the standard AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement file, I get an error which states "No HPETS available...CPU(s) configured incorrectly. There are no options for HPET within the BIOS. If I use a NullCPUPowerManagement.kext instead of the one above, the installer sticks at "Using 16384 buffer headers and 10240 cluster IO buffer headers". I have tried with various combinations of LAPIC patch, Haswell-E patch and USB Ownership, to no avail.
I am using a USB created with Unibeast, and I have replaced the files with those mentioned within the tonymacx86 forums by a particular user which has a similar board. Prior to this, the install would stick even more prematurely, at [pci configuration begin]. I have some progress, but I am well and truly stuck, and was wondering if some of you may have an idea how to get around this!
Specs are below:
Asus Sabertooth X99 TUF (BIOS 3.0 UEFI) * Please see here for specs of this board
Intel Core i7-5960X CPU, 3.00GHz, 8 core (16 logical) * Haswell-E, 2011v3, overclocked to 4.00GHz
NVIDIA TITAN X (Pascal), 12GB VRAM * Connected to Dell UP2715K running at 5120x2880/60 via two display ports
64GB Kingston HyperX DDR4 RAM * 8x 8GB, Freq. 2399.56 MHz
NZXT Kraken x61 cooling * Connected to on-board USB port
Kingston HyperX Predator M.2 SSD 480GB * Running Windows 10, will not be used for Mac OS X
HGST 6TB 7200RPM HDD * Has been partitioned to 2TB for Mac OS X install, currently unallocated
Corsair 1300W PSU * Shouldn't make any difference to the install, but including it anyway Note, there are other hardware items in the PC that may affect the compatibility, such as: Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter NZXT Hue+ lighting system
The system also has a TPM chip installed separately, but this is currently disabled in the BIOS. There is no optical drive.
