Tips and tricks

Audio stuttering and crackling

• Switch PCIe slot with PCIe Gen.4 GPU to the 3.0 mode. It helps a lot. If you do not have this setting, make sure you are using the latest version of UEFI.

macOS fails to load

• If macOS loading hangs, please check that you have npci=0x2000 in NVRAM/boot-args section.
