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

[CaseySJ]

This is a very good tutorial. Thanks for sharing such a good tutorial. I followed the steps to toss for a few days, and the system was basically perfect.

However, I have encountered a problem, please see the screenshot, I think the RX580 has been driven successfully. But it seems that the UHD 630 cannot be driven. I played 8K video UHD 630 is not working, the playback process is very stuck (previously tried not stuck). Opening Final Cut Pro is very smooth, but the UHD 630 still doesn't work. I can't detect the presence of UHD 630 with Geekbench.

My cpu is 9900K and the motherboard is Gigabyte Designare Z390. I strictly followed the steps of "For Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) and iMovie Users". What is the problem? Can you help me see what is wrong with my EFI file? thank!

Please try this config.plist.

Please try the config.plist provided by PastryChef above. You may also try the version attached here, which adds a few additional fixes. Your ACPI settings were slightly incorrect. And because you have the USB SSDT installed, I've disabled the USB port limit patch.

This seems to vindicate my warning against simply moving an existing Mojave installation from Hackintosh A to Hackintosh B! There are a lot of successful build stories scattered throughout this thread and nearly all of them are fresh installations.

That being said, let's see if we can help you recover. Please post the following:

• Compressed (zipped) CLOVER folder from EFI partition of the Mojave SSD. You may mask out/remove serial numbers from SMBIOS section of config.plist.
• Run IORegistryExplorer and select File --> Save As... Upload the saved file.
• A screenshot of your /Library/Extensions folder.

Yeah, my bad. HeHe. Just is so much work to set it all up again, I feel.
Thx for wanting to take a look at it.

BTW, I see you are into 5K monitors, there are 5K monitors like mine for fairly good prices on eBay usually.
(Dell UP2715K although the 2x DisplayPort cable is a bummer)

This monitor also works with a single DP 1.4 cable, iiyama prolite xub2792qsu-b1.

Several questions / comments:

• Are you running High Sierra? If so, is it 10.13.6?
• You have the USB SSDT and USBInjectAll.kext, but your IORegistry shows only the first 15 ports. This indicates that the USB SSDT has not been activated. Please run Hackintool, select the Installed tab, scroll until you see USBInjectAll and post a screenshot.
  
• Your Bluetooth firmware is 20703. Is the WiFi/BT card plugged into a x1 slot or into one of the 3 long slots?
  
• The attached config.plist assumes you have High Sierra. It sets ig-platform-id to 0x59120000 and graphics device-id to 0x5912. Because I am not too familiar with High Sierra, these settings may or may not enable your UHD630 and HDMI ports. You may test it out (be sure to put serial number back into the SMBIOS section).
• Your /Library/Extensions folder has a number of kexts that I'm not familiar with:
  • realtekALC.kext (you don't need this because you have AppleALC.kext)
  • tap.kext ??
  • tun.kext ??
  • TrimEnabler.kext (you don't need this because you've already added the Trim Enabler kext patch in Clover)
  • YamDisplayDriver.kext ??
• Please note that whenever we add or delete files from the /Library/Extensions folder, we have to rebuild the kernel cache. This can be done easily by running Kext Utility. See Step 7 in JayMonkey's guide.

Please try this config.plist.

Thanks Reply. But the problem is still there, and the replacement has no effect.

Thanks Reply! I have fixed the USB SSDT. However, the original problem remains unresolved.

Turn on the video green oil...

Doesn't make sense... With iMac18,3 system definition and IGPU set to be headless, macOS should automatically use IGPU for HEVC. Please download this video and try playing in QuickTime. When playing the video, what is your CPU usage?

The status of playing this video is like this.

I am very surprised that I used QuickTime to play the original video, which is playable. Is it the reason for the player? But the IGPU in the status bar seems to never work.

Is this what you call the headless mode?

Okay. That confirms that your IGPU is not working correctly...

• When using my config.plist, iStat Menus should see your IGPU as "INTEL HD GRAPHICS CFL". Please see image below.
• When watching the linked video with QuickTime, CPU usage should be much, much .lower. Please see image below. QuickTime CPU usage is only 6.3% while the video is playing because the IGPU is doing the decoding.

Please check with IORegistryExplorer to confirm:

• You are using iMac18,3 system definition
• IGPU is named IGPU
• ig-platform-id = 03 00 92 3E
• device-id = 92 3E 00 00

This is the use of the GPU for playing 8K video.

Try switching to an iMac18,3 SMBIOS. iMacPro1,1 Has no internal iGPU natively.
