@mhoudek I'm still learning myself but here are a few tips I did learn along the way.
  1. Fill out the specs of your hardware. The senior members on here are going to point that out right away and some are cool about and others may just ignore your post altogether.
  2. I know this is silly but if you haven't done so make sure all your hardware is fully seated properly. I had a problem with my card and it was because it wasn't seated properly.
  3. Take screenshots of what's going on and also provide a copy of your EFI folder and config.plist. I had a problem with a kext that I thought was WhateverGreen.kext and it turned to be WhateverGreen.kext.textClipping.

I know I probably didn't answer anything, but at least you have the tools now to set yourself up so someone else with more knowledge doesn't have to ask you the basic questions. You'll be prepared to provide them what they need to help you. I hope that helps.
 
Thanks. All my HW is fully seated and was running MS Windows without an issue.
I named the HW here - same MB, same CPU, just different GPU. I downloaded the EFI folder from here and before that I of course tried standard Unibeast method which didn't work - couldn't allocate resources (iGPU problem). Thx

You need to have your hardware profile filled out as per rules (the ones you agreed to when signing up here)
 
@SFSquire here is the link to the mod that the OP made to his case, and the case name. BTW it's on the OP's 1st thread towards the bottom.

 
The result is gorgeous but heck - that is a "whole-lot" of work. Thanks for the info and kudos on a beautiful case.

Hello! I have a very similar build. Motherboard is Gigabyte Z390 UD but rest is basically the same. i9 9900K, Gigabyte RX VEGA 64, 32GB G.Skill RAM, Corsair SATA SSD 500GB and Samsung 970 M.2 SSD. I still have some serious issue with random freeze. After booting to the Desktop, it sometimes works for half an hour and sometimes just freezes in couple of minutes. I have tried different .efi memory fixes one at a time but with no luck so far. Does anyone have an idea what could it be? I probably should link some config or debug files to the post, but I'm not really sure what files would point to the issue.
 
@chalixon, I'm just as new to this as you however, I will try to do my best to help and or point you in the right direction with the little I do know.

I have a question about your Samsung 970. Can you tell me what is the exact model of that drive, and is that where you have the OS on?
 
@joanareis here is my Thunderbolt install.

Installing GC-Titan Ridge

I installed the Titan Ridge in the last slot (PCIEX4). I removed my NVMe SSD, and installed Windows on a spare SSD that I had. The rest are the steps I used to get it running;
  • Booted into Windows, (let it do it's updates)
  • Grab the Gigabyte GC - Titan Ridge drivers and install them
  • Check Device Driver to make sure it's installed. (I can't remember where exactly, but it's nestled in there and it doesn't stand out)
  • Then run the GC - Titan Ridge application, to test if it is working (I used this USB-C hub)
  • Reboot and see if you have a Thunderbolt option now in the BIOS (It's under Peripherals)
  • Reboot into Mojave and install the following two files into EFI->CLOVER->ACPI->PATCHED reboot (Please see below)
  • Check About This Mac and System Report, then go to PCI (Should look like Image below) Screen Shot 2019-04-26 at 12.47.41.png
  • Open IORegistryExplorer and it should look like the image below

None of this could have been possible without @CaseySJ. His initial AML I used was the RP21, he redid it for me as it was found in RP05 as you can see above. So, thank you so much Casey, for all the work you do. I hope this helps anyone with our mobo, that wants to use the GC-Titan Ridge.

Hello Gyrene,

Interestingly (I am not sure to understand why actually) with my build I could already "see" the Titan ridge card without prior initialization with Windows (see the IOreg screenshot), but nothing was displayed in the PCI section. Thank you very much for sharing these2 ACPI files (and thanks also to CaseySJ, I have been following also his Z390 Designare motherboard thread, which is really phenomenal on clarity and expertise, and has really helped me a lot in fixing many many problems for my hackintosh).
With these files installed I can now now "see" the titan ridge card in the PCI section.
I would have a question for you: how did you get the RX580 card also recognized in the PCI section of the system report? Did you set up a dedicated acpi file for you graphic card? if yes, would you mind sharing it?
I manage to create a dedicated USB SSDT file for my build (taking into account that I have the GC-titan ridge card and another wifi/bluetooth pciex1 card that also need USB ports through the board headers will be added later) but I am a bit stuck and don't know where to start for creating personalized ssdt files for other devices.
I really like this board, it comes finally with lots of possibilities for a mATX format.

Thank you very much!!!!

@mmaira I'm glad it worked for you and it's awesome that you were able to get the Titan Ridge to work for you without having to install Windows, sadly that wasn't the case for me.

Regarding the RX580 being in my PCI, I have attached the file I used for you. I got it from @CaseySJ's thread, also it was spotty at first for me, it didn't show up even after I put them in the ACPI -> Patched folder. Then when I took out the DGPU to remove my NVMe and put everything back and it just showed up. I'm hoping you have better luck.

As far as creating your own SSDT's you are way ahead of me in that regard. (I just used what the OP had) I wish you luck with that, and maybe when you figure it out you can come back here and post your findings. I would love to know how it went.
