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

[CaseySJ]

Hey guys, I need some help...
My hackintosh was stable but out of nowhere it started to reboot itself when it is in sleep mode...
Also started to have an issue with my thunderbolt ports, they were working fine, but now they only work if I connect the device before booting the system...
Can anyone tell me what to do?
I have the z390 designare with a I5 9600k, Sapphire Vega 64, 16gb Ram (Crucial Ballistix), System is installed in a NVME from XPG

Let's address Thunderbolt ports first. Please check the following:

• Re-check all Thunderbolt BIOS settings as described in Post #1.
• Check the CLOVER/ACPI/Patched folder for the presence of these two files:
  • SSDT-Z390-DESIGNARE-TB3HP-V4.aml
  • SSDT-DTPG.aml

@iDrakus I was having the same problem with an MSI 5700xt, swapped it for a Vega 64 and no freezing since.

Yes, seems to be getting worse since 10.15.1 for me. Noooooooo........

Support for Navi graphics cards (5700 and 5700 XT) appeared since macOS 10.15.2.

You can try installing the beta version of macOS 10.15.5, maybe there will no longer be such a problem.

You can also try removing WhateverGreen.kext. Perhaps this will work, but in this case, some ports on the video card may become unavailable for use. This may be a temporary fix for the problem.

FWIW i also could not find any chips of the same size/type on the mac pro, certainly not on the io card itself. So either they are using different chips which are incompatible with our clips or they are hiding them well somewhere on the motherboard.

Because the Chips are not on the IO Card itself, they are on the Logicboard.
If you take a good look on the pictures from the logic board, then only two chips could be related to it,
since the other stuff are mux chips which work together with PLX and don't contain any firmware.

As I entered in the BIOS, I got a message saying that all my configuration had been restored to default. (I don't know what did cause this. Recently I installed more memory. Windows also might have updated.) Then I apply all the setting from the post and already tried ,and the Thunderbolt worked fine! Thank you!
Now I'll put to sleep to see if it still reboots by itself

Hey, @CaseySJ
OpenCore 0.5.7 is released. I wonder if there should be any updates to the Micro-Guide.

@CaseySJ Only added the first part to the one extracted via linux and like I already said in the past:

They are identical with the USBC Folder.

Mr Casey, in recognition of my gratitude for everything you bring us here, I want to share with you my satisfaction at being able to use my Sonnet eGpu with Vega 56 installed in addition to the discreet 5700.
Unfortunately, I cannot flash the thunderbolt chip due to the lack of appropriate equipment, but this result is already interesting.
Thanks again, I'm happy !!

Does your Linux boot from Clover okay? I have Catalina, Windows 10 and Ubuntu 19.10 and all show up in Clover but only Windows and Catalina will boot. If I choose 'Linux' from the choices I just end up with the pinky purple screen and it just hangs there. It boots fine in I F12 and select the drive manually. A 1st world problem, as I only occasionally use Ubuntu, but it would be nice to fix it. I haven't looked into it too much.

I just tried booting Ubuntu from the Clover menu, and got the same result as you. I'm fairly sure that, when I installed it, several Clover versions ago, it booted properly. As yours does, it boots from F12. Sorry for the misleading post earlier.

Yes, sorry, 10.15.2. Edit_ actually I think it was 10.15.1, no?

Tested with -wegoff and just one monitor, but still freezes. I suppose it’s an OS or general hackintosh issue. If I use an older monitor that’s just native 1080p and DVI only, my issues disappear.

I have been tirelessly trying for hours to get the SOIC8 clip to stay on the chip, without a dice. Whenever I get it right, it slides right off. It's simply not seeing the chip even if I hold it with my hand on it. I'm using your method @CaseySJ with a 47uf cap and in my case I used two 1K ohm resistors tied in series.

Question : If I disconnect and reconnect the clip while the Pi is on, if the clip is touching all of the connectors, should the Pi see the chip or not?

Here's my setup.
