Hello Everyone,

I wanted to do a sanity check from a bigger simple of machines. From what I've been able to determine from about a month of testing is that Windows 11 24H2 does not support a 12-core processor tray with X5650 processors. I can get 24H2 to work with a single 4-core W3530 and I've gotten reports that single 6-core processors also work. I've used OpenCore and Rufus and I'm always getting stopped by both the 24H2 installer and the 24H2 system by either a KMODE or KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE Blue Screen Of Death.

If other users have Mac Pros from 2010-2012 with 12-core processors I would really like to know if you are seeing the same issues, or that you've been able to get 24H2 to work with no issues using a 12-core processor tray.

Thanks,
ZXRyuu
