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

I just install the macOS upgrade from macOS 10.15.4. to macOS 10.15.5 "without" any problems. But, if you have installed the RadeonBoost-v1-4.kext in clover / kexts / other, the installation will stop shortly before end!
That´s why I started the "broken install" again with my current USB-stick (Clover r5118), which doesn't have installed the RadeonBoost-v1-4.kext and the installation go on without hanging up.
Please note this during upgrade installation to macOS 10.15.5!
In addition the current radeonboost-v1-4.kext must remain removed.

I actually did that. I'm scrubbing things again, particularly the config.plist I will resolve this lol!

@CaseySJ Well, I got it! I used a much newer USB drive. A Samsung 128Gig USBC with USB adaptor in one of the "Blue" ports. At this point I was so fluent in creating the install disk and copying Kext's etc it went smooth lol. I am now transfering everything from my time machine backup. My older USB drive was a 32gig Kingston 2.0. Not sure what the deal was. Interestingly I forgot to add the -v to the boot arguments and realized it as I booted from the USB. It was like watching a "real" mac load catalina. When it got the white screen it flashed for a few seconds and then went back the apple logo and progress bar. I left agdpmod=pikera in the boot args. My time machine disk is connected to the USB C port, brought out from the MB to a rear panel. Thanks again Casey for this amazing thread. Can't wait to see what you do with the Z490 MB... although without PCI4 there isnt too much different.

Bonjour @Elias64Fr,

I used Ubuntu 20.04 to read the Vision D Thunderbolt firmware. Attached is the first 512KB of the active partition.

Once all components arrived yesterday, I spent the afternoon assembling the PC and installing Windows and Linux. So have not patched the firmware, but this is certainly high on the list. Does the attached NVM 50 look similar or identical to the version you have (except for DROM of course)?

MacOS is almost fully installed now using a slightly modified version of OpenCore 0.5.8 EFI from the mini-guide. Vision D is remarkably similar to Z390 Designare in most respects. Will post more updates on macOS progress soon.

Great ! Happy to see that new chipset Z490 and 10th series CPU nicely work on MacOS :)

After a quick compare from GC-Titan Ridge NVM50 and Vison D NVM50, we have (except DROM):
  • Identical except minor differences (subsystem-id and subsystem-vendor-id data) and few bytes around 0x2bee8 offset (to be added to 0x4000 on final file extracted from flash rom)
  • improved version of TI PD FW from 1.38.3 (GC-TR) to 1.38.6 (Vision D)

Well, caution during an upgrade is always wise, but I have Radeonboost installed on one of my two hacks, and I did not have this issue.

You have installed a Radeon VII graphics card. I have a AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. That´s the difference.

Yes, running patched NVM50 on GC-Titan Ridge. So far, so good!

Hmm....would be interesting to see how the patched version of NVM50 you are using differs from the versions that @CaseySJ and @Elias64Fr have tested with....! What those differences are and how they affect the functionality of the TR card could be quite valuable.

So this is a bit of interesting behavior. Here is the sequence.

Cold boot -- System Profiler shows Thunderbolt Bus with "Speed" as "Up to 40 Gb/s x1"
Put system to sleep, wake system, the speed is now "Up to 10 Gb/s X2"
Restart system and now speed is "Up to 0 Gb/s x2"

Anything to be concerned about here? or purely cosmetic?

Thanks!

Unfortunately yes. We haven't quite figured out sleep yet and using it, for most of us, breaks the thunderbolt connection thus requiring a shut down and power cable pull.

So, if you're going to put your computer to sleep still I'd suggest using tbforcepower.efi so that you can restart your computer instead of the shutdown power cable pull.
 
Hello all,

New user here. I have a hopefully simple question relating to building a Hackintosh out of my new system.

Z390 Designare
9900K
32GB DDR4 3200
1TB Samsung EVO Plus NVMe
1TV Samsung EVO SSD SATA6
RTX 2080 Super

As I am a gamer as well as interested in Music Production (with an Apollo setup), I would ideally like to keep the RTX 2080 Super. I have done my research and it isnt compatible with OSX, so i have a few options.

-Remove 2080 and replace with something like RX 580. (and build a gaming rig separate?)
-Spend more and go with RX 5700 XT and dual boot with OSX and Windows? (but 2080 is rendered useless which is not preferable!)
-Disable 2080 via BIOS (or OSX Hack) and use onboard iGPU (harder to support Natively?)

Sorry if its been discussed in this thread already but ive done my searching to no avail on the subject.

Thank you,
Nathan.
