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

[FormerUser-50757]

Sorry, and here's my EFI folder:

FYI

I have all the kexts (WEG/Lilu etc etc) in library/extensions and only fakesmc in the EFI folder. Never been able to get a definitive answer about what's better.

you can either have all your kexts in clover/kexts/other

or just the basic kexts in clover/kexts/other and then all your kexts in /L/E (yes, including FakeSMC)

config.plist:
InjectKexts->Detect - means have all kexts in /L/E

InjectKexts-> Yes - means have all kexts in clover

the choice is really yours to be honest, there is no real right or wrong way

there is more info here:

Cheers. Going to consolidate the kexts one way or another!

Sorry, and here's my EFI folder:

One issue here is that you have VirtualSmc.efi in the CLOVER/drivers/UEFI folder, but FakeSMC.kext in CLOVER/kexts/Other. You should consider switching fully to VirtualSMC by downloading the latest version from here (download the RELEASE zip file) and then:

• Copy VirtualSmc.efi to CLOVER/drivers/UEFI (replace the one that is already there)
• Copy VirtualSMC.kext to CLOVER/kexts/Other and also to /Library/Extensions
• Copy SMCProcessor.kext to CLOVER/kexts/Other and also to /Library/Extensions
• Copy SMCSuperIO.kext to CLOVER/kexts/Other and also to /Library/Extensions
• Then delete the following files if they exist:
  • FakeSMC.kext from CLOVER/kexts/Other
  • FakeSMC.kext from /Library/Extensions
  • All of the FakeSMC Sensor kexts from /Library/Extensions
• Then run Kext Utility to rebuild the kernel cache. Just run it and wait until the button on lower right side of window changes to Quit.
• Reboot and test Shutdown/Restart.
• Note: We may need to make more changes, so consider this the first step.

** Make a full bootable backup of your macOS SSD before you do any of the above. **
** If something goes wrong and you do not have a backup, then I cannot help you. **

Thank you

The microphone input should work. What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

That will also work, but you may need to use iMacPro1,1. Keep in mind that Sidecar in Catalina will not work with iMacPro1,1.

Other than Sidecar is there any other problem to use iMac Pro 1.1 ? Would the build be more stable with the i9-9900K? Thanks

Sleep/wake issues are often caused by misconfigured USB ports. However, on Catalina we'll run into boot issues on desktop systems if we don't have EC and USBX devices. If you look at the Designare Z390 Post-Install Files.zip in Post #1, you'll find a lot of files, among them are these two:

• SSDT-UIAC-DESIGNARE-Z390-V7.aml
• SSDT-EC.aml

The first file not only defines the USB ports, but it also creates a USBX device that provides high electrical current to USB ports, which is necessary for charging big batteries (iPads for example). The second file creates an EC device.

In your case, you may copy and paste the USBX device from file #1 into your own USB SSDT. And you may simply copy SSDT-EC.aml.

In your case, you may copy and paste the USBX device from file #1 into your own USB SSDT

I am not sure what you mean by the above, where would I find the USBX device and where do I paste it into in the USB SSDT?
Sorry for asking something that I should know by now.

The overall stability of the build will not be affected by the K, KS, or KF processor. The system will be equally stable with any of them. Other than Sidecar, we're not aware of any other feature in Catalina that fails on a T2-based SMBIOS.

If you are creating a new USB SSDT, simply post the finished version and I'll add USBX into it.
