[Success] GIGABYTE Z370 Gaming 7 + Intel Core i7-8700K + RX 580 + (2x) Dell P2715Q 4k @ 60Hz

Hello everyone! Sorry for my English.
I have the same configuration as the @JimmakoS user. I have just installed Catalina 10.15.3. Everything works perfectly except sleep. When I try to sleep the system, it properly enters sleep (motherboard LEDs, USB power, disks, screen and fans shut down), but after ~ 2 seconds it turns back on and displays the lock screen. I thank you in advance for your help.

You have problem with your USB mapping. Try to fix it with Hackintool.
 
Do you have at ACPI/patched the SSDT-EC and SSDT-USBX files? I am confused if they needed for Catalina to work.
Something about renaming EC devices. I found https://floppyblog.com/common-problems-and-workarounds-in-hackintosh/

I already have these files

Yes, I have those files because I'm using JimmakoS's EFi which works perfectly but not sleep
 
Awesome! I'm planning to build a system with these configurations (only with an i9 and Z390 Ultra).

My question is, does anybody have Thunderbolt 3 working? I want to put in a GC Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 PCI card. The reason is that I wanna use this Hackintosh for audio editing/production in combination with my UAD Apollo 8 sound card that has Thunderbolt 2 on it. I saw this working on a Mac Pro 2012 with the same card.
So I am wondering if it will still work when using a Hackintosh.

Already checked all compatibility (hardware wise), and it should all be fine... so just software wise I am not sure if will work or not.

Better ask here:


Z390 is a bit different to Z370, but they have working onboard TB3 with the Z390 Designare!

Apollo 8 rack or is it a PCIe card?

Either build will work fine. Only the EFI will be different. Stick with Mojave. You'll have to turn on the Apollo about 12 seconds before you boot your hack. If you turn off the Apollo, you won't get it back until turn on the Apollo, wait 12 seconds, and reboot your hack. There is no Thunderbolt node nor hotswap/powerswap for hacks.

Get at least 32GB of 2666 MHz RAM if you can and just run it at 2666 MHz. I have two builds and I'm using the Seasonic Prime Titanium 1000W PS. LMK how it goes.
 
So, guys. I made a clean install to our motherboard to Catalina 10.15.0. I've changed the SMBIOS to 19.2 which is closier to 8700K.

What works? Pretty much everything.

  • Audio with AppleALC.kext, at config.plist, layout "11" and reset HDA.
  • WiFi and Bluetooth - DW1560 card, with necessary kexts.
  • iMessage - Facetime
  • Hand off
  • Both Ethernet cards with intelmausiethernet.kext and atherosE2200.kext
  • RX 580 and Intel HD 630 connected to LG 4K monitor via DisplayPort and LG TV via HDMI with WhateverGreen and Lilu kexts.
  • All USB ports with custom SSDT file. I don't know about Type-C because I don't have any device to try one.
  • Shutdown with darkwake=8 at config.plist. I've delete darkwake option.
  • Sleep
  • Power Management
  • Quick Sync
  • AirPlay
  • Continuity
  • AirDrop
The method that I followed for clean install, is to create a bootable USB via Terminal with Catalina OS. Then I install latest clover bootloader and replaced the EFI folder with the one I have from Mojave installation.

When the installation completed, I installed all the necessary kexts with KextBeast to /Library/Extensions/ and the Clover bootloader to the main NVMe SSD. That was it.
Hi, I have Mojave installed on:
Z370 Gaming 5
i7-8700
Sapphire RX 580 Pulse

I would like to have a clean installation of Catalina.
What steps I have to do?
 
Hello there,

I have this system

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7
CPU: Intel® i7-8700K
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 560
SSD: Samsung 500GB 960 NNMe
Ram: Kingston Hyper X 32GB 3000Mhz
Mac OS X: 10.15.4
ASUS USB Bluetooth BT-400

I have issues with Bluetooth and TrackPad.
Only if USB dongle is too closed on my TrackPad, it works.
With 10.15.3 it works correctly. Now even my BT Keyboard does not connect.

My EFI folder is this

Can anyone helps me?

....I would like to have a clean installation of Catalina.
What steps I have to do?
For a clean installation, you can follow this guide in this thread. You must use MultiBeast for Catalina and the latest version of Clover Configuration. There are users, who after updating the kext, have made the update directly from macOS. To be successful in the installation following the guide, check that your BIOS does not have a version higher than 11.
