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

Super excited about the success!
and thanks again for the port multiplier, getting one right now!
And yes, i can only install Catalina with the checked InjectIntel and fakeid as 0x12345678, just like @heyelly mentioned before.
So glad my advice helped you :)
I just installed two NZXT AER RGB 2 fans on my NZXT h510i and I confirm that liquidctl works flawlessly to set everything about the Kraken but I'm not able to make it work with the smart device v2 (and of course my two new fans). Any suggestion?

Because you have two NZXT devices, it becomes necessary to use the -d argument. Please do this:
  • First, type liquidctl list to display all devices and their IDs.
    • Device IDs start at 0.
    • One of the devices will have ID 0 and the other will have ID 1.
  • Then initialize the devices individually or all-at-once:
    • liquidctl initialize all will initialize all devices.
    • liquidctl -d 0 initialize will initialize device 0.
    • liquidctl -d 1 initialize will initialize device 1.
  • Then get a status of each device individually or all-at-once:
    • liquidctl status will show status of all connected devices.
    • liquidctl -d 0 status will show status of only device 0.
    • liquidctl -d 1 status will show status of only device 1.
Please post the output of these 3 commands:
  • liquidctl list
  • liquidctl initialize all
  • liquidctl status
Also note that Smart Device V2 needs liquidctl 1.3.0 or newer.

My mistake -- I should have said liquidctl initialize all. This has been fixed in the previous post. Anyway, please try this:

Code:
liquidctl -d 1 initialize
liquidctl -d 1 status

  • The H510i Elite has two 140mm Aer RGB 2 fans and a standard non-RGB 120mm exhaust fan.
  • The LED2 channel should therefore show two 140mm fans instead of a 120mm and 140mm fan.
  • Are you connecting any Aer 1 devices?
  • Fan information is incorrect as well.
Please type:
Code:
liquidctl --debug -d 1 initialize
liquidctl --debug -d 1 status

@CaseySJ I do not have the H510i Elite, just the H510i. That's why I have a 140mm Aer RGB 2 on the top and a 120mm on the back :) And no, I do not have any Aer 1 device.

No need to buy another USB flash drive -- the problem is most likely elsewhere.

Is your motherboard on BIOS F6 or newer?
OK!!! I borrowed an 8GB stick of RAM from the office...I'm in the installer!!! Does this mean that I wont be able to use the 64GB RAM going forward as well, or just for setup? (This might be useful for some folks in the future... don't use 32GB RAM.)
 
Sooooo 10.15.2 has finally been released, I hope we can get a cleaner way to install it on our builds than we have to do on 10.15.1.
