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

@joevt I haven't got the txt from my friend that got the new LG 5k with a 2017 MBP. BUT I got another .txt from another friend who has the old LG 5k with a 2016 MBP. Attaching it here

Just performed four successful sleep/wake cycles in a row (no darkwake). Each cycle consisted of:

1. Apple Menu --> Sleep (user triggered sleep instead of idle sleep)
2. Let the system sleep for 30 to 40 seconds
3. Press key on keyboard to invoke Stage 1 Wake (partial wake)
4. Wait 10 seconds
5. Press key again to invoke Full Wake (monitor turns on, login prompt appears)
6. Then use the system normally for 5-10 minutes
7. Return to Step 1 three more times

the only issue I've had with sleep is after a (seemingly) random number of cycles, when I wake it I've lost audio ("internal speakers", rear green port). the fix is a restart.

FYI. I found that darkwake=10 is the solution. Takes a bit longer to wake from sleep but unlocks with my Apple Watch every time now.

This is interesting, I'm using Darkwake=0 and my Watch will unlock my Hack just fine. I do have proximityWake set to 0 (off) so it's not waking up automatically when I walk in the room, but I hit a key or bump the mouse I'll get a fully up and ready (logged in) computer with in seconds.

@joevt and this is another one, new 2019 LG Ultrafine 5k with MBP from 2016. Sorry I'm yet unable to find someone with both 2018 MBP and 2019 LG Ultrafine

EDID product number 5b11. Year 2017. Serial number starts with 7.

The EDID of the first connection contains timing info for a single cable connection (640x480, 2160p, 1440p, 4096x2304, 3200x1800). For dual cable connection, it has tiling info that identifies itself as the left side 2560x2880 pixels. The EDID for the second connection is similar to the first but is reduced to just the tiling info that identifies itself as the right side 2560x2880 pixels.

@joevt and this is another one, new 2019 LG Ultrafine 5k with MBP from 2016. Sorry I'm yet unable to find someone with both 2018 MBP and 2019 LG Ultrafine

EDID product number 5b74. Year 2019. Serial number starts with 9. Both EDID's are similar to the corresponding EDID's of the 2017 model except for two timing differences:
1) 4096x2304 is replaced with another 3840x2160 timing. The timing is now set to Preferred and the pixel clock for this timing is 522.600 MHz where the first 2160p timing is 522.610 MHz.
2) The 2560x2880 tile timing has an increased back porch and therefore a higher pixel clock of 483.36 MHz instead of 469.170 MHz.

I don't see any indication of any DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 support. If there was any in the 2019 model, it probably would have showed somewhere even if it was connected to a 2016 MBP. But never can be too sure.

I like the EDID from AGDCDiagnose because it seems to be original from the display. The EDID from SwitchResX can include overridden information and SwitchResX can't seem to get the EDID from the second connection of a dual link or dual cable display.

Since both connections have the same product and vendor ID and date of manufacture, there is no way to override the EDID of the second connection using the /System/Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides method. Well, there's a mtdd file for dual link/dual cable displays as well as the main override file for the display. The overrides folder for LG displays (1e6d) has overrides for both 5b11 and 5b74. I think 5b10 and 5b7b are 4K displays.

@joevt Yes the first .txt file is from a friend who got the old 5k + another 4k, the LG 27UK850 (but I think it's connected through a caldigit tb3 dock)

Thanks so much for the amazing explanation. I'm not entirely sure what you mean when talking about the override but I hope it doesn't mean anything wrong for making the display to work at 5k on a hackintosh haha

@JingleDjango
[...]I set the Apollo as my main driver and was able to record / playback a large session at 32 samples and 64 samples via thunderbolt with no problems.[...]
Maybe it's a problem with Protools? Do you have any other DAWs installed on your computer to test?

I tried the same thing in Ableton this morning: I set the buffer to 64 samples and armed a track for recording. No freezes or stuttering there so I guess it's a Pro Tools thing. Still a bit disconcerting.

@CaseySJ in the original guide you defined different SMBIOS settings based on which version of 10 your 14.5 update guide you make no mention of SMBIOS or system definition.

Now that I've updated, would it be wise to change my system definition to iMac 19,1?

The best time to change system definition is before licensing or registering a large number of applications and plug-ins. This is because a new system definition is equivalent to a new computer, which means applications and plug-ins must be re-licensed.

There are, however, two ways to change system definition:

• The clean way.
  • This involves going to Clover Configurator --> SMBIOS and simply selecting a new system definition from the pop-up menu on the lower right side.
  • This gives us new serial numbers, and the serial numbers are consistent with the new sys-def. For example, the last handful of characters in a Mac serial number denote the sys-def, so the new serial number generated by Clover Configurator will be consistent with the new sys-def.
  • But this requires software to be re-licensed.
• The not-completely-clean way.
  • This is similar to the above, but we first save the existing Serial Number and Board Serial Number from the current sys-def.
  • After selecting the new sys-def in Clover Configurator, we replace the new serial and board serial numbers with the old ones. The old serial number may not be consistent with the new sys-def, but your applications and plug-ins will probably not care.
  • For the most part, this avoids having to re-license existing applications and plug-ins.

Hi Casey/Hackers

I have not seen BruceX Scores better than 7s-ish,
I was wondering if this was just coincidence or the test is too short for new systems.

Wanting to upgrade to a Designare / 9900k system, trying to see if it will be any faster.
I recently got two RX580s to work in my old X79/4930k system, and the scores are surprisingly good.

Attached is an updated BruceX Test,Could you please run this
Standard 5k
5K X5 (which is just 5 copies of the original)
New 8k Version

My System (ProRes 422)
Mojave 10.14.6 | Final Cut Pro X 10.4.6 | Dual RX580's
Bruce-X - 5K . <9s
Bruce-X - 8K . <20s
Bruce-X - 5K X5 >41s

** Final Cut Pro Users **

We're looking for some volunteers to run the updated BruceX benchmark in Ryan's post here:
