Hi turboyoda.
Check this thread "https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/325120-vega-frontier-edition-on-high-sierra/?page=6" for solving your problems with high fan speed.

Hi,

Sorry for the late answer, I will try your suggestion, thanks for the tip. In the meantime I tried with Vega 64 8GB, and it works flawless. When I have a time I'll try your suggestion with Vega Frontier, currently it sits in my eGPU case, total waste of money.

As for Cinebench, I agree with Griven. I doubt that it has anything to do with the cpu.

Not happy to report but fans of the Vega Frontier GPU are still very loud even after 10.13.4 update.

EFI that I uploaded has everything for the locked BIOS, so you can try it and let us know if it worked.

You can find steps for unlocking ASUS BIOS (X299 platform) on other forums (maybe there is a thread even here).

As for the VEGA, I haven't worked yet on this build, so I don't know about performance of the GPU. I'm currently downloading 10.13.4 and if the GPU is quiet I will then go forward into more testing and production with this Xeon build.

well yeah, i have coil whine in windows under heavy load, thats totaly fine, its not nearly as loud as in macOS. but in macOS, the gpu is everytime under full load, just for milliseconds. but as i said, latest betas fixes the noise

10.13.4 is out of the beta in few days, so lets hope it fixes our gpu problems.

if you feel annoyed by coil whine maybe you can exchange your card if it is still in warranty. I succeeded with exchanging mine, but the new one I got also has coil whine while under full load.

vega is not under load at all in this video, it just happens under macOS, but it got a lot beta with the latest beta versions of macOS. it seems like macOS handles gpu load a lot different thant windows, every load seems to be full load.

but just to be clear: your leds arent flickering like mine?

If you have Windows installation try following: download one of the Unigine benchmark tools (https://benchmark.unigine.com) Heaven, Valley or the latest one - Superposition, run it and listen to the sounds of your GPU.

Also, the test on which I got loudest coil whine from my GPUs is 3D Mark (https://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/3dmark) Ice Strom test. It runs on very high FPS on new GPUs.

You can try all of the mentioned above in Windows, it will benchmark your GPU, put some load on it and you'll see if the vega still produces that sound.

My LEDs are sometimes flickering just like yours, depends on the load which system puts on the GPU. These LEDs should be "load meter" for the Vega Frontier.

Please try tests I mentioned above in Windows when you have opportunity, so we can see if the issue can be reproduced i nWindows environment.

Nochmals vielen Dank. Ich gelang mir es zu hochladen.

Sorry for not answering in timely manner, I had a lot of work lately.

@iMarc - I'll probably be waiting for official 10.13.4 release, but thanks for the heads up on fan problem.

As for strange sound - no I don't have that problem with my vega. I'm not sure from the video you uploaded, LEDs on your vega look like it is under full load, or the card is idling in this video?

It sounds to me like you have coil whine "problem", I had it with few of my graphics cards. It manifests itself only while the gpu is under heavy load or way over 60fps. If you need further assistance, I'll be happy to assist.

@totte I'll upload my working EFI so you can try it. I just need to find a way to upload here. Edit: I uploaded my working efi. Not the latest, but this is 100% working (at least for me).

@Vathek - I tried the trick with youtube but It didn't work. I just tried it again after reading your post and it works now Fans are quiet. I'll guess it will have to be youtube in the background will 10.13.4 is out.

Danke für die freundliche Begrüßung

@iMarc - I also have egpu case, and I tested Vega Frontier with Macbook Pro which is on beta High Sierra - no luck so far, at least for me.

I was also thinking about water based cooling, but I had some bad experiences with water and expensive hardware, so I'm staying with air.

I was reading about aptiomemoryfix.efi and native nvram support but wasn't sure if that was the right way to go. I'm switching now to aptiomemoryfix.efi - thanks for the tip

Hallo Leute,

Ich lese dieses Forum sehr gerne und Dieses Forum hat mir sehr geholfen mit meinem Hackintosh Build. Ich verstehe Deutsch sehr gut, aber ich spreche es nicht so gut. Also, entschuldigen Sie mich, ich werde in English schreiben.

I built a few Hackintoshes and thanks to this forum I resolved quite a few problems (USB ports config, network...) with my builds.

Since new modular Mac Pro is not near, I decided to build one myself. I have Intel i9 configuration already, but for some of my tasks I wanted something a bit different - Xeon based.

So I went on and bought following:

Motherboard: Supermicro X11SRA https://www.supermicro.com/pro…rd/Xeon/C420/X11SRA-F.cfm

This motherboard has a great M.2 and U.2 drive support, up to 256GB ECC RDIMM DDR4 support, 2 network cards (1Gbit and 5Gbit)...

CPU: Intel W-2175 https://ark.intel.com/products…sor-19_25M-Cache-2_50-GHz This CPU can be found in new iMac Pro

RAM: 32GB modules of DDR4-266 RDIMM (so far I have 128GB, expecting one more kit of 128GB so that I have 256GB of RAM in total)

Disks: 2x 1TB Samsung M.2 960Pro and 2x Intel Optane 900P 480GB

Graphics card: AMD Vega Frontier Edition 16GB

Power supply: Corsair HX1200i

CPU is cooled with Noctua NH-D15 and chassis with NF-A14.

I went with Clover installation, and install of High Sierra 10.13.3 went through first time.

Everything is stable so far and I only have a few problems:

5Gbit Aquantia AQC108 Network card is not recognized (second NIC from Intel works)

AMD Vega Frontier fans are pretty loud. I thought AMD fan spinning bug was corrected in 10.13.3, but obviously it is not.

Now to the question:

I based my Clover on iMac Pro 1.1 with OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi and EmuVariableUefi-64.efi. I read a lot that these files are not the way to go with High Sierra 10.13 installs.

What do you recommend, what are your experiences?

If there will be interest I can write about my setup in more details.
