pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

I can finally boot into the installer and my previous Catalina from my last board! What was the alteration you made here? I'm having a hard time figuring it out.

Also thank you so much for helping me.

I didn't make changes to your EFI. I just made a few minor changes to my EFI.

The one linked in your original post? Either way, I appreciate it. You mentioned in one of your previous replies to me that you'd help me get native NVRAM working. Did the changes you made do that or is there more to it than the EFI folder?

No. I took the EFI that I'm using on my Z390 motherboard and made a few changes.

Yes. Please check if your MSR is locked or unlocked. If it's unlocked, NVRAM should be working for you and you're good to go. If it's locked, you will need to unlock it.
 
I tried to update from 10.15.2 to 10.15.3 and after restarting I can still see the old version. How to fix it.

At the Clover boot menu, keep selecting the "Install" option until it is no longer there.

0:100 0:000 MSR 0xE2 before patch 1E000000
0:100 0:000 MSR 0xCE 08080838_F1012400
0:100 0:000 corrected FLEX_RATIO = E0000
0:100 0:000 MSR 0x1B0 00000000

Which as far as I understood from the linked post means its unlocked?

Yup. Looks unlocked. You are good to go. NVRAM should be working for you already.
 
I'm having a bit of an issue with my Z370-G / MSI 580:

In a game (let's just call it SC2..) when I am scrolling around, I can make the Mac hang in about 10-15 minutes of play. Scrolling around on the "board" is a key part of the game, so after scrolling for a bit, the Mac will appear to hang - I see disk activity still, but the screen, graphically, is completely frozen; moving the mouse shows and does nothing. My fans don't go crazy, this happens OC'd or not OC'd, and so far I have done the following:
  1. It started around 10.15 or so timeframe. It has happened in all the .1, .2, and .3 updates.
  2. It took place with what was (up until then) a "known-good" Z370-G setup from back in the early days of this thread that I've been updating with the latest KEXTs and Clovers, but didn't go 'back to the source' to re-download the current setups.
  3. That said, something obviously changed, and naturally I'm the main culprit. :)
  4. I keep current on Clover (5103) and my Kexts, using Kext Updater v3.3.6 to stay current with kexts.
  5. I can reproduce the problem with your v5.1.7 EFI folder and no customizations on my part - no SSDT, etc. - USB remains unpatched.
  6. After mild customizations to your EFI folder (v5.1.7, switching from 18,3 iMac to iMacPro), updating to USBInjectAll.73, and nothing else, the problem persists.
  7. In Windows, with either older or the latest AMD drivers and Windows 1909 fully patched to January 2020, it's perfect; no crashing whatsoever in full games, including SC2.
  8. I can't make it crash any other time (in MacOS or Windows), but I really don't do anything else that would graphically stretch the machine & GPU.
The next thing I can think of to try is to pull an AMD 570 from a nearby computer and plug it into this to see if I can reproduce the problem. I could also try using the OpenCore folder... Are there any other suggestions?
