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

Thanks for the reply.
  • I used the EmuVariableUefi-64.efi from the Post-Install files. Ive deleted and replaced it. Same result.
  • I'm using the OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.
  • The SMBIOS is populated.
  • The NIC is correct as you stated.
I'm also seeing a file nvram.plist in the root EFI folder. Not sure if this plays a roll or not.

Edit: I deleted the nvram.plist file and the system booted with the EmuVariableUefi inserted. Strange!!!
EmuVariableUefi provides a software alternative to NVRAM. It creates and maintains nvram.plist in which all NVRAM values are stored. If this file is corrupted or damaged, the EmuVariableUefi could crash. Deleting the file was a good move. A new one should be created automatically.
 
@CaseySJ - I can't find the post but curious how Windows handles EFI updates for Feature Upgrades when it's living on a SATA SSD and Mojave is living on the top M.2 slot? Is it advisable to install Windows into the top M2M slot always or if it's living in SATA it won't interfere?

This came up once before but I’m not sure we got a definitive answer. My understanding is that PCIe buses and SATA buses are enumerated separately, so if MacOS is on the PCIe bus (PCIe NVMe SSD) and Windows is on the SATA bus, then, to quote Rudyard Kipling, never the twain shall meet..er, interfere.
 
@bluepr0

That thing, which shall not be named, is just yelling my name! Intel has debunked rumors of Ice Lake desktop products being delayed to 2022, so I would love to build an Ice Lake successor to the Designare next year with high-end desktop (HEDT) components to rival the new Mac Pro. What better housing for it than that which shall not be named!!

I cross fingers hoping the next chipset that will replace the Z390 is able to get "native NVRAM" and that the new Designare comes with 2 DP-in (or that we can somehow route the iGPU or dGPU to the TB3 connectors to make the LG 5k run at its full potential. Also will be interesting to see what Apple does with native Wifi 6 supports and Bluetooth, because if they add drivers then it will be Hackintosh-paradise!

Thanks Casey - I'll just stick with the M2M strategy for now for Windows.

Yes I do expect to pick components that will allow full 5K support, even if that means using a motherboard with THB_C header and an add-in-card. Apple certainly will support WiFi 6, but not sure whether they will finally embrace the Intel modem. Apple acquired Intel's 5G Cellular Modem business so they do have a bunch of former Intel engineers who might be able to create Intel WiFi 6 drivers for MacOS... Here's hoping, anyway.

Yes, all three front-panel USB ports have been working since Day 1.
  • If you have Windows or Linux on this machine, does the port work on that OS?
  • Are you using the standard USB SSDT from the build guide (SSDT-UIAC-DESIGNARE-Z390-V7.aml)?
  • Are you using SMBIOS iMac19,1 or iMacPro1,1 or Macmini8,1?
    • Do not use iMac19,2 because USBInjectAll.kext will not work. (There are patched versions of this, however.)
  • Is the port physically damaged? If you use a flashlight to look into the good USB 3 port and compare with the bad USB 3 port, do you see any physical differences?
Hi @CaseySJ, thx for your detail info.
- I have dual boot and login to Windows, the middle port still doesn't work. Does motherboard's F_USB3.0 port support all 2 front ports? I noticed inside Phanteks case, there are 2 big USB 3.0 cables, and i use only one, wondering switching to another can solve this problem.
- I use SSDT-UIAC-DESIGNARE-Z390-V7.aml
- iMac 19,1 always
- The port is still in good condition.
Thanks for giving me a thorough checklists.
