[Success] GIGABYTE Z370 Gaming 7 + Intel Core i7-8700K + RX 580 + (2x) Dell P2715Q 4k @ 60Hz

Mac mini (2018) is EXACT same scenario.

And same outcome again with iMac 18,3...

Have you modified your config.plist and put in the two files that are needed for the TR TB3 yet? I could send you my config.plist which I have already modified in preparation if you want to try, just can't support anything ATM. DHL just rang back and said it's somewhere in the USA, but are awaiting for the USA to contact them. Last time it was audited was at the X-Ray machine, maybe it disintegrated!

Any update on your Titan Ridge

What mac system definition are you on? I have only been able to get it booting on imac 14,2

Hey, great thread! Stumbled on it because I started having issues getting past the dreaded "Couldn't allocate runtime area" after trying to get iGPU Multi monitor enabled. Only occurs when Thunderbolt is enabled in BIOS also. Total head scratcher. If you can help I'd be grateful!! Most of my roaming has been on this thread where you can get more info.

But about your system definition being 14,2 - try copying your 14,2 board ID changing to 18,3 and overwriting your board ID. It worked for me thanks to @P1LGRIM suggestion. See more on this thread.

Any update on your Titan Ridge

Hi! Yes I had DHL in Australia call me first thing this morning to tell me DHL in USA has sent a email to the LA sorting place to find out where it is. They also suggested I contact Amazon to see if they can help. I have a feeling this is going to drag out.

I've also spent the last hour or so trying to boot macOS with the newer F12c BIOS. No go. It looks like a ACPI exception error where it can't initialise the PCI0 bus. Linux boot's fine. Maybe GB have changed things in the ACPI and Clover or SDDT's don't like it ATM. I'm back on F11 ATM in iMacPro1,1.

Later yesterday I also confirmed Hot-plug no go using my Alpine Ridge. I really need the Titan though!

Have you tried F12c? Any problems? Maybe it was corrupted, I'll investigate further... stay tuned.

Hi @luckyal, I've had that error message on my Z370 board when I have extra PCIe cards installed or my Thunderbolt card. There is a thread somewhere that shows you how to create a slide= Clover config.plist flag. As a temporary work around, look in your BIOS for a 'Enable above 4G decoding' or similar setting and enable it.

My understanding is that Clover is unable to find a memory space large enough to map all of the I/O in. Enabling this option opens up extra memory map area above the 4GB memory space, and then all's well in Clovers world again.

I have tried the to create a 'slide=' and have had no luck. I might revisit it a bit further down the track, once I have posted my Mojave guide for this Z370 Gaming 7 motherboard, so keep your eyes peeled for it in the not to distant future.

I have not tried it yet. Was waiting to hear from you if I needed to try out anymore test SSDT’s. Throwing a new bios in the mix could really complicate things

Yes, you are right, new BIOS's can cause complications. The thing is if I were to support the Z370 Manjaro thread, users will eventually want to upgrade, and I need to know if there are issues etc. Since this BIOS comes with microcode and other 'stability updates', I decided to try it out.

I can boot Windows 10 and Linux, but it will not even allow me to boot the Manjaro USB pen drive, let alone the two bootable Manjaro installs.

I can see some ACPI related errors in Manjaro Linux, but not exactly sure what they mean. I have reverted back to F11.

If someone else is willing to give it a go, please do, as maybe it's my motherboard, but unlikely.

I can't really give any more updates on SSDT's etc until I get my Titan Ridge.

Been trying to find this setting in the BIOS - no luck. Went as far as re-flashing it to latest version.

EDIT: - scratch that. As soon as I posted I saw it under Boot options. SMDH. Someone here also said that Enabling XHCI handoff helped them. That option is definitely not available under my BIOS.

Yes, under boot options:
