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

Hello @shallmc,

As you can see from my signature line below, I have only (a) Gigabyte Designare Z390 and (b) Asus X99 Deluxe II. Are you looking for a Thunderbolt hot-plug SSDT for your Z87X-UD7-TH motherboard?
Yes i'm trying to get hot plug on Z87X-UD7-TH working looong time already!
 
The IOReg file you posted earlier shows that USB ports HS11 and HS12 are missing. Bluetooth connects to one of these ports, therefore Bluetooth will not work until we fix this problem. The USB SSDT looks correct so I think it's necessary to switch to iMac19,1. After installing the modified EFI folder that I provided, please run IORegistryExplorer once again and upload the file (File --> Save As...).

Please see this thread for the problem seen in screenshot:

Edit: Also try the slightly modified config.plist attached here.
Thank you @CaseySJ I did tried the modified config.plist

Attachment is my current IORegistryExplorer.

Today, I tried to listen music on youtube and the machine crash again, I realized that the music keep going, on the monitor shut and cpu fan went crazy. Do you have any clue how should I investigate this issue?

Okay, let me see if I can modify the hot plug SSDT for your motherboard. Please upload the following:
  • IORegistryExplorer --> File --> Save As... (upload the saved file)
  • MaciASL --> File --> New from ACPI --> DSDT
    • Then select File --> Save As... and upload the file.
    • In the Save As... dialog, you may select either Disassembled ASL File or ACPI Machine Language Binary

Your IOReg still says iMac19,2. Please check that you copied the EFI folder to EFI Partition of Mojave SSD. We have to mount this partition manually with Clover Configurator --> Mount EFI (on left side options). We need to change this to iMac19,1.

Let's me have a check again, my system is suffering with boot right now. It's keep crashing, monitor goes black, the machine became very hot, and cpu fan goes crazy. In worst case, I will re-install the whole system.

I am pretty sure that I put the config.plist into the right place.

This is very strange behavior. Some background questions:
  • What is the make and model of the GPU?
  • What is the make and model of the CPU cooler? Is it an air cooler or liquid all-in-one?
  • Did you apply a small amount of thermal paste (about the size of one green pea) on the CPU before attaching the CPU cooler?
  • Which thermal paste did you use?
  • Did you connect CPU cooler fan cable to "CPU FAN" header on motherboard?
  • Did you connect 8-pin power cable to top of motherboard (ATX 12V 4X2)?
  • What is the make and model of your power supply?

Below is detail of my build:
- GPU: Gigabyte Gaming RX Vega 8GB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079LT39Z7/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
- CPU: Intel i7-8700
- I am using the defeaut thermal paste of Cooler master/ Intel (couldnt recall 100% of which one)
- CPU header is connected correctly I believe (attachment)
- 8-pin ATX 12V 4x2 is also connected (attachment)
- CPU Fan: Cooler master T400i https://www.newegg.com/cooler-master-blizzard-t400i-rr-t4v2-16pb-c3/p/13C-000X-002N9

One general question regarding changes of your Clover settings: Let's say I finished phase 1 of the Mac OS installation, but want to still struggle to make my 128GB RAM kit (vs. the recommended brand with 64 or 32GB) work ... I want to test different settings set by Clover Configurator. But, obviously, I can only change settings with a working Mac OS install, hence, with the working RAM kit. That makes it unavoidable to switch the RAM modules for every little change in configuration and every combination of these. Kind of annoying and possibly also an unnecessary risk of damaging your hardware by switching it so often.
That is why I wonder ... is there a different way to solve this? Or should I rather test different clover settings on the phase-1-installation USB stick? These could be set up on the real Mac and would therefore not require switching the RAM each time ...

I may be wrong, but Clover has nothing to do with memory configuration.
I've tested several brands here, and they all work, with 16, 32, 64 or 128.
What changes is the performance, due to the latency of each manufacturer. For example a Corsair 3000, here on my machine, which is exactly the same as yours gives 5% higher performance than using a 3600 G-Skill ...
The solution is to test and see performance, more memory will not mean better performance, often can get worse depending on the manufacturer.

Well, I am back. The crashing stopped after the fresh installation I guess.

Please check my attached IORegistryExplorer. Seems the IOReg recognizes my build as Mac 19.1 at the moment.

Remained issues:
- Shutdown/ restart
- Bluetooth -> still same old issue
