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

[CaseySJ]

@ummario, I hope you have continued to have a shining build. What SMBios did you decide on? My system chased and would not longer boot, so I am re-installing and you seem to have gotten sleep/wake and iGPU accelerated FCPx working. Thanks! Also, I have a dark base pro 900 rev 2, so I was surprised and very happy to see the new SSDT. Thanks @CaseySJ!

Have you recovered from the crash? Did it happen while upgrading to 10.14.4 on the AORUS Xtreme?

 

[CaseySJ]

A huge thanks to CaseySJ for a great thorough tutorial that includes a little prodding for people to learn how and why. I have definitely learned a lot more on this build, my 3rd hackintosh. Also thanks to everyone else that has contributed here.

It is interesting that the 9th gen i7 & i9 show up as unknown. My 9th Gen i5-9600K has been recognized/reported as "3.7 GHz Intel Core i5" since my initial install of 10.14.2 on BIOS F4 going back to early January. I started with 10.14.1 and F3 but had numerous issues. I've experimented/learned along the way using Mac Mini 8,1 - iMac 18,1 & 18,3 - iMac Pro 1,1 SMBIOS and they all have reported the processor the same. It has never shown as unknown. I followed the instructions in the Spoiler: Specifying CPU Name in 'About this Mac' to add the -9600K but since it is not an Unknown processor it is ignored.

My only issue that I would like to resolve but have not yet is the Sapphire RX580 black screen on boot with HDMI or DP until the Apple logo and final progress bar. Onboard HDMI and USB-C both show BIOS and Clover on boot, but the Sapphire does not.

Currently I'm modding a case that it is going into hence why I haven't posted sooner. I was planning on waiting until it was all completed, but the processor ID talk piqued my interest.

This being your first post, welcome to the forum! Interesting indeed that the i5-9600K has been recognized since 10.14.2.

The black screen problem you describe seems suspiciously like a BIOS --> Initial Display Output setting. The fact that BIOS screen appears with onboard HDMI and USB-C indicates that Initial Display Output is currently set to IGFX. Try changing that to PCIe 1 Slot assuming that your Sapphire RX580 is in that slot.

After adding the Broadcom 94360CS card to the config.plist under Arbitrary (as described on page 1) the second Ethernet port disappeared unter "Ethernet cards" in the System Profiler, although I have FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext, FakePCIID.kext and SmallTreeIntel82576.kext.

Some questions/suggestions:

• Is your Broadcom card installed in the bottommost x1 slot?
• In config.plist --> System Parameters, is Inject Kexts set to Detect?
• Are the FakePCIID* and SmallTreeIntel* kexts installed in /Library/Extensions?
• If you undo the changes (i.e. remove the "Arbitrary" section), does the second Ethernet port reappear?

If the above suggestions do not help, feel free to post your config.plist (you may remove serial numbers from SMBIOS).

EDIT: Apparently it's caused by the firewire PCIE card (I tried without it before, but maybe other settings were influencing too).

Hello! First of all, thank you for such a detailed and useful guide

Unfortunately, I cannot get my Hackintosh to shutdown, it will always reboot/restart.
I followed the guide step by step, several times, different variations with the suggested post installation "Going the extra mile tips"... but no luck (I also tried different USB SSDT, making my own, turning ERP to enabled in the bios, disabling any wake on lan options in the bios, different Aptiofix drivers... and many more but with no luck).

I've started from scratch again, and still the same, I would really appreciate if anyone has any suggestion that could help me get shutdown working as intended.

I also tried to do a DIFF on the config.plist files that were provided in this thread in order to see if I missed anything, but even changing the options to the same ones in those configurations didn't help.

I attach the ´essentials list´, as generated by the script provided in https://github.com/corpnewt/EssentialsList and my raw EFI drive contents.

I do have a firewire PCIE card, but I tried without it and I still get the same results.
I have a wireless card BCM94360CD (installed in one of the m.2 slots), I tried to boot without it, with the bluetooth usb header disconnected and it doesn't help either.
I also tried turning off bluetooth wakeup in Bluetooth Settings within System Preferences.
I also tried Turing off power nap (even if I understand its off with the slide=0 boot argument).

Anyways, thanks in advance again to anyone that's open to help me

Hello Victor,

Thank you for posting detailed logs and CLOVER folder. Your configuration looks correct; you also have the NO-CNVW SSDT installed. I've added WhateverGreen configuration to your config.plist and removed "IntelGFX" and "Platform-ID". These and other parameters are better handled by WhateverGreen.

What is the make and model of your Firewire card? Is it a x1 card?

@rj510 has posted some experiences here with his Vantec Firewire card, which is a x1 card, but seems to work best in a long slot (x16). However, with the use of NO-CNVW, perhaps the Vantec will function properly in x1.

@rj510: Do you experience any shutdown problems with the Vantec card installed?

My question is more of the kind if the new 10.14.4 update already supports new iMacs? That means, if you can create an USB stick from the new installer and fresh install 10.14.4 on a new 2019 iMac?

Some information on this?

Yes, this is a good idea. We can try a fresh install of 10.14.4 using SMBIOS iMac19,1 or 19,2 to see whether some kind of "Unsupported Device" message appears. That should tell us whether 10.14.4 Build 18E226 supports the new iMacs.

 

[CaseySJ]

Thanks! I will try that later. Even if that way I will loose iGpu.

Do you think I really need to update clover before I upgrade to 10.14.4?

Thank you!

If you haven't updated Clover in some time, then it is certainly a good idea to do so. I'm running a very recent version myself.

Also, my intention was to disable the IGPU only when applying the 10.14.4 update, and to enable it afterwards. After the update, we no longer need "device-id = 0x3E9B" because the real device ID 0x3E98 is supported in 10.14.4.

@rj510: Do you experience any shutdown problems with the Vantec card installed?

I've had no shutdown problems (on either 14.3 or 14.4) with or without the Vantec card. I added your NO-CNVW but still left the card in the x1 slot. I've tested the card with various old firewire external hard drives I have, and it works just fine.

I just saw this Apple page (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201634) and it shows the iMac 19,1 as the 21.5" and the iMac 19,2 is the 27" (not vice versa as written in an earlier post). Apparently for the iMac 19,2 there are i9 CPU options. Perhaps those extra MMMM models numbers I found here (MMMx, where x can vary) are based on the chosen options within the base iMac 19,2 model.

Serial numbers on some 27-inch models end in JV3Q. And platform ID is 0x3E980003 with AMD 580X driving the display.

Ok Thanks... I will try now. What is your clover version at the moment? 4862? If you have a most recent one then 4862 where did you downloaded that?

Thank you!
