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

[rondark]

Quick update from my build.
The fenvi card is finally here. I guess that now All I'm missing is an RX580 and a webcam. I'm open to recommendations.


I had an extra "table top antenna" lying around, so I used these two instead of the ***tty antennas that ships with the card.

Spoiler: Pictures

I used the antenna that came with the motherboard for blue tooth on the Fenvi. Works great.

@CaseySJ Do you have Wake on Lan working on your setup? Any tips on how to get it working?
I'd leave a network cable attached just to get that feature...

Very nice, thanks for sharing the pictures! I’ve been eyeing the new NZXT H510i for a Windows/Linux build. How is the thermal performance so far?

I use a Logitech HD Pro C920 webcam. I’m quite pleased with it for my admittedly limited usage. As for RX580, the jury here will most likely recommend the Sapphire Pulse (not Nitro).

Wake on LAN is discouraged because WiFi speed will be gargantually impaired after wake.

Just installed a Fenvi T919 with USB header plugged into front panel motherboard header, I get WiFi, but no Bluetooth. I read through a few of the recent threads, but didn't see where I may have made a mistake. I have the NO-CNVW SSDT and USB plugged in.

@CaseySJ Thermals are OK. I haven't tweaked, and my AirCooler isn't anything special (AFAIK).
I'm also not using and special thermal grease nor doing any overclock (still have to learn how to).
After setting up the Fenvi I see my cpu fan spinning up faster for way longer than before. Not sure if related.

@pastrychef @CaseySJ
I bought MSI OC vega 64 and I already own rx580
I put in PCI 1 the vega 64 PCI 2 the rx 580
display port & HDMI on PCI2
Everything working for now.
In info i can see both cards
should I add the vega in config plist ?
should i patch VGTab ?

With Mojave 10.14.6 we should not modify config.plist or use VGTab because of the improvements Apple has made to the graphics drivers. As Apple and AMD make the drivers better, we have less need to apply hacks.

The first screenshot shows that you have copied 2 USB SSDTs to the CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder. If you’re using the Fractal Design case, please delete:

• SSDT-UIAC-DESIGNARE-Z390-V7.aml

Wake on LAN impairs WiFi speed after wake, so we intentionally disable it. For this reason I have not attempted to make it work. In fact, wake on LAN may have other undesirable side effects as well.

Some users have reported that their system runs fine without WhateverGreen, but they needed to add the Apple AGDP patch in Clover Configurator --> Kernel and Kext Patches. I haven't tried this myself, however.

I was able to do this in testing by setting -wegoff so that I didn't have to install the driver and applying that patch.

The purple lines came back, not applying the patch causes black screen, and applying the patch works.

I didn't see any difference in Geekbench 4 that isn't within normal variance.

I did only have one during boot, I was returning to normal after trying SSDT-UIAC-DESIGNARE-Z390-V7.aml and it didn't still didn't work. That's my fault for not taking the screenshot before deleting (I do have the Define R6, and I have been using that SSDT).

I actually got bluetooth working using method 2 from here:

<< Solved >> - Fenvi FV-9801 - WiFi & BT on Mojave - all works

WiFi&BT module BCM94360CDAX - should works out of the box... I've figured out how to run it on Mojave. Try :) 1. WiFi cd /System/Library/Extensions; cd IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns; sudo mcedit AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/Info.plist Add line: pci14e4,43a0 After: pci14e4,4353 sudo...

Odd, I thought this worked OOB, so I must have something wrong. This isn't the right model, but for the time being, I have functioning bluetooth and WiFi (already worked) on my Fenvi FV-T919.

I used Clover Configurator to add this to KernelAndKextPatches -> KextsToPatch

I've been testing slides and memory fixes.

I'm using iMacPro1,1 with iGPU disabled.

I can use:
OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi + slide=0
AptioMemoryFix.efi + slide=0 (I have been using this for a few weeks and it seems to work well)
OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi + slide=0 (I literally just booted this a few minutes ago. I don't know if there are any negative effects with this but it booted.)

I wanted to determine a custom slide but couldn't get it to work. With slide argument removed and using AptioMemoryFix.efi I was getting Error allocating 0x11c83 pages at 0x0000000008918000 alloc type 2.

I did memmap -b and got this. I am not 100% sure I did this right but I came up with slide=202. Wouldn't boot though. I got 0xa00 allocation error. If I did it right, it still doesn't boot. If I didn't calculate it right I'm not sure what I messed up.
