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

[CaseySJ]

I have 2 files in my ACPI folder
I make them myself using KGP as a guide

That's what I thought:

• ThunderboltDROM, pathcr, and Thunderbolt Config are being injected by the SSDT.
• These parameters are not necessary for Falcon Ridge.

Please remind me of the problem you are having:

• Your IORegistryExplorer looks correct and you already have these Thunderbolt devices attached:
  • Apollo 8 Quad
  • UAD-2 Satellite
• Are you trying to enable hot-plug capability?
  • If so, I'm having that problem on my Falcon Ridge card as well, so as soon as I find a solution I'll notify you.

Yes i'm trying to enable hot plug for this board!
Cool! thank you! Hope you get this solution easy!)))

Hello people

I am having problems with the Wifi network of this motherboard. From what I read, Mojave doesn't support Intel's Wifi network natively, so I want to swap for the BCM94360CS2 WiFi / BT card.

My question is if I can remove the original Intel CNVi card and put the BCM94360CS2 WiFi / BT card in its place, ie in the same slot?


Another question, but in relation to TB3. For the device to appear in the System Report, do I need to have something plugged into the motherboard's TB3 output?

Thanks for the help!

I relied on the guide and installed Mojave without any problems. I am using AMD RX Vega 64 8GB 8176 MB as iMac Pro (2017).

A few minutes after launching mac, the mac system freezes completely. It will not move at all after a while. The mac cursor is not moving at all, the upper right time is not changing. There is no pattern even if freeze occurs. You can not see the forced termination of the finder. Commands and periods also don't work. I'm forced to quit by pressing and holding the power button.

I do not know what causes such strange problems.

I compress EFI and paste it here.
Please give me some advice to solve it.

Thank you.

In Disk Utility, are you clicking on View --> Show All Devices and then selecting the parent name of your Mojave SSD? When you click Erase you will then see 3 settings:

• Name: Type Mojave
• Format: Select APFS
• Scheme: Select GUID Partition Table

Hi CaseySJ,

Super Thanks for your help! It turned that the Mojave I was using was corrupted (I run Unibeast on a 10.13 machine with a mojave image downloaded on a different machine). Everything works now.

I have two very fast questions:

1. I am thinking of getting 'Sapphire Radeon Nitro + RX 580 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI DVI Dual DP W/BP (UEFI) 256-bit 2.2slot Active'. Do you have any comment on the compatibility? Will I be able to use all the ports or is there some type of limit on the type/number of ports used?

2. I do not want to get banned but is there a way to support your great effort and work you have done? Perhaps donation/patreon or something like that?

Thanks!!!!!

Buy a Sapphire Pulse card instead.

Buy a Sapphire Pulse card instead.

The Nitro is a bit faster (on the clockspeed). Is the Pulse more compatible?

A good starting point is to read through the guide on page one of this thread. Most questions can be answered in the guide that CaseySJ has put together.

From the guide on page one.

The Intel CNVi WiFi/Bluetooth card that comes preinstalled on this motherboard is not compatible with Mojave, but it's not necessary to remove the card. A natively-compatible BCM94360CS2 WiFi/BT card can be piggybacked onto a suitable PCIe x1 adapter (see Components) and installed into an available PCIe x1 slot. The CNVi slot, moreover, is not pin compatible with NGFF M.2 cards, but it may be pin compatible with NGFF Key-E M.2 cards. I have not tested this so I cannot attest to its suitability on this motherboard.

The Intel CNVi card connects Bluetooth to USB port HS14. And the PCIe adapter with piggybacked BCM94360CS2 module should be connected to the motherboard USB 2.0 header (F_USB) located next to the FAN_PUMP header. This header consists of USB 2 ports HS11 and HS12. A custom SSDT, applied in post-installation, therefore disables HS14 and enables both HS11 and HS12.

I have been using the BCM94360CS2 WiFi/BT with PCIe adapter card for 7 months with no issues.
Currently it seems that the Fenvi FV-T919 is the preferred WIFI/BT solution.

I've been using this very card in this specific Hack for a few months now and it's worked without a hitch.
I do not use all the ports and haven't tested them all, but I can confirm that it is recognized properly in macOS and has never caused any system glitches or instability.

Note: My signature specifies the Pulse because they don't have the Nitro+ available in the dropdown list, so I picked the closest alternative.

The Intel CNVi is fully supported in Windows so we should leave it installed. Simply purchase a Fenvi FV-T919 or FV-HB1200 instead. Both of these are plug-and-play compatible with macOS.

The Thunderbolt section of System Information will always say No Drivers are Loaded until we can somehow activate Thunderbolt Bus on Titan Ridge and Alpine Ridge controllers. So at this time we rely on IORegistryExplorer to show us which devices are connected to the Thunderbolt ports.
