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

[nmano]

Hello @nmano,

All of those parts are correct. The Raspberry Pi kit contains quite a few components. Although cheaper kits are available, the choice is yours.

For the GC-Titan Ridge, I believe even the low-cost CH341A USB Programmer will work.

Thanks @CaseySJ
I order this parts.I thing I will receive next Friday.
This method can I flashing in MACOS?

Is there a tutorial to install win10 at the same time? I am a novice. I have installed the apple system according to your way, but I still need win for my work requirements. thank you

Hi CaseySJ

What is the purpose of the BIOS folder that contains the SMCHelper.efi file?
Better to remove SMCHelper.efi file?
Does our motherboard use the UEFI folder?

Sorry for the many questions ...

Thanks

Not sure I understand the question. The minimum recommendation from the Vision D owner's manual is 500W, same as Designare Z390. But 500W is pretty bare bones. The most common PSUs (650W, 750W and 850W) are very hard to find. I purchased the 850W PSU because lower wattage ones weren't available.

thanks.

I erroneously inferred from your post that the Z490 boards and new cpu's required more power.

Well I have patched TR and I just rebooted with nothing but the two pass threw DP plugged into the titan ridge and it booted perfectly fine. I really have no idea why your system believes that you do not have a monitor plugged in because pass threw is just that it passes the signal threw.

The pike R patch likely does not work because well you are on a VII, and if WEG is working cool. Why do you need a DP monitor to pass threw the thunderbolt? I really have no clue as to why I can make everything go threw the Titan Ridge without issue. I also tried with only USB-C ---> HDMI plugged in with nothing in the video card but the bridge cables.

PS are you using the THB_C header? Or are you doing 3-->5 pin bridge?

I've been swamped at work and I've finally had time to sit down and do more testing. I've had a bit of a breakthrough. I updated my MB to the latest beta BIOS and now my monitors are detected at boot. This has been a big hurdle and confirms the main issue has been local. While the config of DP to GPU and one pass through over TB is working consistently, I'm still trying to get to both monitors over TB. I share my workspace with a rMBP and if I want to work off the laptop with my monitors and dock, I would like to just plug in one cable and be done. Also, I am using the THB_C header.

After many different tests, CSM is definitely a problem and needs to remain disabled. I have had some success booting with both monitors running over TB, but it never survives a reboot. The machine boots to the desktop, but remains black. System profiler sees all TB devices including the UltraFine monitor and all of its properties- Sound Options, USB ports... but under Graphics/Displays- nothing. I started reading up on WEG to see what options are available, and documentation there suggests CSM is a problem for multiple monitors, AND defining ports and connectors of the GPU can help with black screen problems. I am becoming more and more convinced that it is in fact an issue with my Radeon VII and detecting ports/connectors and their priorities. This would make sense as your Vega 64 has better support in MacOS. So what I'm wondering, is there a way to inject these extra properties into Clover or perhaps the Radeon Boost SSDT? This might prevent WEG from detecting (incorrectly) priority of the ports and connectors.
Also, is there anyone willing to help me do this?

Do you mean it fails only when connecting through the Thunderbolt Dock? But if you direct-connect the keyboard to one of the Thunderbolt ports on the rear IO panel then it works? (Maybe a typo in your post.)

Keyboards only work when connected to a USB A port on the motherboard. I have 10 other devices ranging from hard drive docks, sound cards, DACs, speakers and so on that work fine when connected to the TB3 HUB.

@bugsyraz

Thanks! @bugsyraz Since the missing component is directly between 3.3V and pin 7 i would assume that this might be the same resistor value as the one between 3.3V and pin 3 (which would make sense). This one is 3.3kOhm. (In fact I think all the resistors connected directly to the pins of the chip are 3.3kOhms.) I don’t think that this has any other function than drop the voltage at the pins a bit more perhaps? If so it should work fine without the resistor anyway, because as far as I understand it the chip can handle up to 3.6V.

I have just confirmed this with a new Z390 Designare board which someone sent me. The resistor which we both knocked off the board with the SOIC-8 clip is 3.3K. I have just measured it.

@CaseySJ ... Good evening / morning Casey say I currently have an ACER EB321HQU see attachment .. now I would like to purchase 2 monitors (yes then would want all 3 working) to be daisy chained for a trading platform ... I am looking at getting 2 ==> MSI Optix MAG271CQR 27" 2560 x 1440 Resolution 1ms Response 144Hz AMD FreeSync Technology Frameless Design Anti-Flicker Curved Gaming Monitors https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824475026

=== 1. Can I run the 2 new monitors using the DP ports from my RX 580 and then my current ACER use the HDMI

OR ... should I go the route of plugging my RX 580 into my DP IN on the Designare Z390 and using a Thunderbolt adapter to a Thunderbolt HUB ..... What is your recommendation ?? I need the highest speed / refresh on the 2 new monitors

Non-Thunderbolt monitors should be directly connected to the AMD GPU. Two DisplayPort monitors and one HDMI monitor should work properly, but with Hackintosh we never really know until we try. And simpler is better!

When you say that the monitors will be "daisy chained" are you referring to DisplayPort's ability to daisy-chain two monitors over a single cable (MST or multi-stream transport)? I would definitely not recommend that.

Keep in mind that multiple monitors can produce some weirdness such as:

• Which monitor gets the BIOS splash screen
• Which monitor gets the Clover Boot Menu
• Which monitor gets the macOS login screen
• Will all monitors sleep and wake properly
• etc.

So expect the worst but hope for the best...

 

[CaseySJ]

Yes, I have it there.

I tried with and without the SSDT, same behaviour.. Should I physically remove the card?
Edit: Even if I restart it completely 3-4 times it is the same. To get rid of the KPs I have to remove the SSD completely. Maybe this is related to the power cycle and it clears the firmware that Windows uses.

I removed the CNVi card and now the problems are gone. Should I disable it on Windows si I can keep it in MacOS? I use it mainly for BT in MacOS since I have cable connection for Ethernet. In Windows I don't use it at all.

The Intel CNVi card works well in Windows, but not so well (yet) in macOS despite the experimental AppleIntel drivers. I cannot in any good conscience recommend the CNVi in macOS at this time.
