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

[counterfactual]

@counterfactual / All,

Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake-S Desktop CPUs are available for purchase and pre-order now. Currently NewEgg and Amazon are on pre-order, but B&H has two models in stock.

Thanks for the heads-up @CaseySJ ! Have you settled on which processor you're getting?

I'm sure the i9 will be a great choice, but I'm honestly intrigued at this 6 core i5 coming in at $194. Worth thinking about which applications would not manage perfectly well with it.

Did you use a customized SSDT? If so, have you tried disable certain USB ports and see which device is responsible?

I've been running this build/system for a while now, and things have been pretty smooth, but I still have one issue I can't seem to resolve - my entire USB system randomly drops out.

I use this system for audio production - when this issue happens, the system appeared to be unresponsive/frozen, but the puzzling thing was that the video was still updating and audio was still playing through the speakers.

This morning I was trying to further diagnose these issues and I had the console up, and sure enough the issue happened - the console kept updating, music kept playing, etc - but USB keyboard and mouse were completely dead. Moving them to other ports did nothing - entire USB system was just gone.

Anyone have any ideas on this? Sometimes I can go days without this occurring, other times it's a couple times a day. I don't know what to do at this point. Almost all the hardware in this system is brand new, and I run a very minimal install and only a USB keyboard, mouse, and Ableton Push (controller which was not turned on at the time of the incident). I do have a bluetooth card from OSXWiFI that has the bluetooth connected on the USB system.

Beyond that - I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

No, I'm using the SSDT that was provided on this build, along with the recommended USB ports (the blue and yellow ports on the back of the motherboard only).

One minor detail...

Please change the indicated by from 0xC5 to 0x85 to enable Thunderbolt Switch 5. This will require recalculation of the 4-byte checksum...

I'll update the Repository shortly.

As usual, you were right @CaseySJ. Port 5 was visible previously, but after the change you suggested, the properties for port 5 populate completely. Screengrabs attached.

Is it possible to use this when a GPU is in another slot?

Try disable/unplug the wifi card usb and see if things get better. I’ve seen the internal usb header with certain card can mess up system/sleep function.

No, I'm using the SSDT that was provided on this build, along with the recommended USB ports (the blue and yellow ports on the back of the motherboard only).

Please see this post (two posts above this one).

1. Refresh the original Alpine firmware back on the card
1. Put the Alpine Ridge in my system
2. Boot at clover screen press F4
3. Boot into OS and post file here

What if I use OC do is there a way to get the Origin folder from OC?

I used Hackintool to dump my ACPI.

I used Hackintool to dump my ACPI.

Does it matter if I have SSDT and such loaded? and that card is still flashed? I guess what I am looking for since I am more or less doing this for testing purposes is the path of least resistance. Also how do you dump your ACPI with Hackintool

I don't think the SSDT's matter but any patches/name changes do.
