<< Solved >> Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi + Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge Help

[LekerHack]

When I boot to Window, I boot it thru F12 selection.

I have a USB SSDT for the USBmap of the board in macOSX

I have not updated BIOS yet. But I could do, maybe it would help.

I should have looked into some more Golden builds before i just took the first buyers guide :/

️... ahh Coldbrew is not for me yet i tried once at TappedNpacked in London..

Must be something simple we're overlooking, so, yes, BIOS update seems like a good next step.

@MACAK, do any of these problems sound familiar? Did you have any trouble to initialize the card in Windows? Any suggestions you can offer? You have latest BIOS installed?

@CaseySJ Once I followed your instructions about booting into MS Windows to initialize the card, and then use the files you supplied it was visible and working. Granted it was the Z390 chipset and very few mods were made. I think re-checking this one step by step, will determine if the card is good. If it works in MS Windows then we should see it by following your instructions.

I might add that double checking THB_C and USB would be prudent, on both the card and the MB. Then rebooting into Windows, downloading any needed drivers and then getting it going in Windows first.

@CaseySJ @MACAK should i update bios to F9? i installed titan ridge driver in windows. but can't see it here?

I did have the latest BIOS on mine which is F9.

omg @CaseySJ too much coffee today.. I moved the TITAN RIDGE to the bottom. which is PCIEX4 after I updated the BIOS to F9. WoilaA.. it showed up... check out my great paint skills in photoshop..

I now removed the SSDT-DTPG.aml from EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched.. (its the thunderbolt SSDT right?)

I put the attached SSDT-DISIGNARE in and rebooted.

Where to go from now..

Here is all updated IOReg and HWINFO

zzzz going all cold brew here.

 

[CaseySJ]

Now that's more like it!!

However, IOReg and HWINFO files you posted do not contain any mention of the Thunderbolt card. Therefore, please do this:

• Delete the Thunderbolt SSDT from CLOVER/ACPI/patched. This folder should only contain the NO-CNVW SSDT for the time being.
• Reboot into Windows.
• Ensure you have the latest Thunderbolt driver from Gigabyte's website.
• Open the Windows Device Manager and look for the Thunderbolt device. Capture and upload a photo.
• Then run HWINFO64 and export the file in .HTM format (instead of .XML). Upload the .HTM file.
• Reboot into MacOS this time.
• Run IORegistryExplorer and select File --> Save As... Upload the resulting IOReg file.

By the way, both (a) SSDT-DTPG.aml and (b) the Thunderbolt TB3HP SSDT are needed for proper operation because they work together. But the Thunderbolt SSDT might need to be modified before you can use it on your motherboard. Hence, bullet #1 asks you to remove it.

These are my SSDT files collected from our talk here.
I will retry. now with only SSDT-DESIGNARE-Z390-NO-CNVW.aml in the CLOVER/ACPI/patched

Why the Heck.. is the card not showing at all in BIOS :/
