[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

@CaseySJ

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm using a Sapphire X580 Pulse 8GB in slot 2.

I have tried unplugging and re-plugging both the HDMI, and the DP cables and this doesn't help. I have also tried plugging the HDMI cable into the mobo directly - this also doesn't help.

My RX 580 is also in slot #2 and connected via DP to my 4k AOC U3277PWQU without any problem. Also HDMI is fully functioning. The UHD 630 is configured as "headless".

Take a look at my posting #452.
 
This is the first confirmation of a 5K Thunderbolt 3 display working on this motherboard -- and out-of-the-box, no less! Thank you for posting that - it deserved its own reply.

Consider it confirmed! We actually have two in the office but it's definitely not running both at the same time. We also have the RX580 Blackmagic eGPU as well. (There's a few additional issues with that, but I can explore those once the initial display issue is resolved.)

Apologies for the hasty image, but at least it's something.

Looks like you are also using a Fractal Design Define R6 with USB 3.1.
 
This is a longshot, but worth trying...

Because you're using a Sapphire card, please try setting Framebuffer to Orinoco in Clover Configurator --> Graphics.

If anyone here has a Sapphire RX 580 and a 4K monitor, do you also get a black screen when booting to a 4K display?

I'll check my MSI Gaming RX 580 later this evening.

@CaseySJ

I'll have to look into this tomorrow when I'm back at work. Gotta get home now, but I'll make some adjustments when I can and report back.

Thank you for the assistance so far, though.
 
CaseySJ,

Thanks for your excellent post. After reading it over a few times I've gone ahead and ordered a "Gigabyte 390 Designware" and plan on migrating my rig over from an "GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 7" w/ Alpine Ridge card.
The Alpine Ridge setup has been a big headache for me from the start and it also prevents me from doing a headless igpu
which I sorely need.

As I already have a stable bootable install of Mojave 10.14.2 from my current rig on a Samsung 960 EVO M.2, I'm hoping to forgo having to do a clean install.
Would it be possible for you to post a copy of your Config.plist (w/ serial # concealed) and a list of the kexts you are using? I suspect with a little work I'll be able to pop my M.2 card into the new Motherboard and boot right up. Unless of course you see anything wrong with my plan.

Thanks in Advance and keep up the good work!
 
@CaseySJ

As my system seems to work properly I just compared your recommended /L/E and /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/* folders with mine. Out of that I would like to understand
  • Why do you install the following kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/* and not in /L/E?
    • XHCI-unsupported.kext
    • FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext
    • FakePCIID.kext
    • AppleALC.kext
    • SmallTreeIntel82576.kext
  • Why do we need "XHCI-unsupported.kext" at all?
Thanks!
 
This is normal for most displays with built-in speakers because volume has to be adjusted on the monitor itself (activate the monitor's built-in menu and it should allow you to set volume level).

Volume in Preferences and screen volume are on maximum. :(

Update: It works!
 
Sorry to disturb again. Is there a way to define HID USB ports? Are there some special options for a SSDTs USB file. Sometimes my mouse is not detected; I have to replug it. And I still face these annoying long boot times. Would it make sense to add the ports I did not use for USB port assignment to the blacklist before booting ( -uia_exclude).
