I have this same mobo, but strangely I do not have the Thunderbolt configuration in my BIOS ???? Same F5 version???

@joanareis, this mobo doesn't have Thunderbolt.

@joanareis, this mobo doesn't have Thunderbolt.

Yes. It's thunderbolt "ready " an additional card is necessary
in the original post though there is thunderbolt configuration written and it says nothing about a card....that's strange...or did I miss something?

@joanareis,

This would be the card you would need as I just bought it and going to install it later on today:

Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge (Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Card Component)

I hope that helps you. Oh did you upgrade your bios to the latest version?

Z390 M Gaming F5 Bios

BTW I just checked my bios and I don't have the Thunderbolt either. Which makes me wonder if a card needs to be in place for it to show up, or if that portion of the guide was copied from another guide and just wasn't taken off. Or I could be completely wrong, in which case I apologize in advance. I am going to insert the card later on today and will report my findings.

Good Luck!

Awesome! Post how it goes if you can! Would be nice to know!

Still trying to make IGPU to work
Good luck with the new card!

@joanareis are you trying to get video from your iGPU? I see in your specs you have an RX 580. Which would mean you should have a video coming from your card and not your iGPU. If I am wrong please, correct me.

I was trying to get the IGPU to work prior to installing the DGPU. The plan is to have both GPUs working
I'll try somethings suggested by @CaseySJ and his threads with the Z390 Designare, and maybe go to Mojave if needed.
Thanks for the reply!!
P.S. Tell us about the Thunderbolt card when you can.

Thanks for the USB mapping file. I spent hours trying to figure this out - but then come across this build description - grabbed the ami file - slapped it in the folder and bam - worked. I salute you.

@joanareis so here is where I am with the GC Card-Titan Ridge...After careful reading there is as with all Hackintosh a bit more steps that are involved. It's not as simple as just inserting the card and adding kexts....

Here is something I just read on @CaseySJ 's thread and it states the following:

There's a very good chance that it will work with GC-Titan Ridge add-in-card. Note, however, that Thunderbolt add-in-cards require Windows for initiation from a full power-down state, meaning:

• Run Windows and install Thunderbolt driver to initialize the card.
• Now you can reboot into MacOS and use the card.
• You can shutdown and restart MacOS and still use the card.
• But if you do a full power-down (pull power cable from the wall or flip the power switch on power supply) you will need to run Windows again to initialize the card

So, after the long weekend, I had doing personal stuff, and fine-tuning my build I am not going to tackle this until the end of the week.

I have read that it's best to remove the Hackintosh SSD then install windows on another SSD. The reason for this is if you keep your Hackintosh SSD connected, the windows installs something on the Hackintosh SSD. I can't recall where I read it but, I read it last night. I don't want anything dealing with windows os on my Hackintosh.

So, I have to think this through and do more reading and plan my attack.

So did you get it working?
