Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

Netflix - Yes it works in Chrome, and is only a problem in Safari.

iCloud - yes I-message works and downloaded all my apps from App Store

Handoff - yes works, tested opening a website from my phone to the Hackintosh

Wifi - Using the BCM94360CD with PCIE adapter on the x1 slot

Below is the screenshot of my Hackintool - interesting that the iGPU device id is different

I think I resolved my issue, I was on the old BIOS F2 that came with the board, after I updated to F5a bios the DRM started working!
 
@CaseySJ
Thanks for changing the post to correct thread.:)
Unfortunately I currently have only this picture of the custom loop but it should show all the relevat parts.
Took some time first to figure out the correct order, so that you can fill the whole loop from the top easily. After you’ve built and teared it down a few times it becomes clearer what works and what does not so well.

This is awesome, I am rethinking of hooking up my 2x240mm rads to water cool with 2 Vega GPUs! Where did you hook up the PWM for the PUMP motor? Just curious as sometimes the Vega chip can be hotter than the CPU
 
Happy to report that replacing my FenviT919 card with the link below solved the sleeping issue for me.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082X8MBMD/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

Seems like Fenvi also makes this card - the instruction/pamplet had "FENVI" on it.

Looks like I might have the same problem as Fenvi T919 was causing issue with sleep (I couldn't wake up the PC). I ordered the card you've recommended and once it's delivered I will update the thread.

Also I haven't used non-laptop device in the last 10-15 years, so once PC entered sleep (both on MacOS/Win10)
  1. Fans stopped almost immediately.
  2. All RGB and LED lights went off.
  3. I heard this characteristic click on PSU.
So I misdiagnosed entering sleep mode as turning off in my previous post, where actually my PC was entering sleep correctly on both MacOS/Win10, but couldn't wake it up, because of the Fenvi card.

The card that is not working for me is this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WGS46PY/?tag=tonymacx86com-20?tag=tonymacx86com-20 (It may work for others though)


That's interesting. Which RX 5700 XT do you use? Can you share some more details about your specs please? Maybe we find something which is specific to our builds...

btw.: I'm still waiting for the reply from Gigabyte about this issue
I'm using Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming OC 8G, but it looks like it's not related to the graphic card (see above). If it's relevant, initially I had BIOS F2, but it couldn't recognize my Radeon and it worked after upgrading to F5a.

Please let us know if the replacement WiFi/BT card works better (i.e. does not prevent wake-from-sleep). Are you in US, EU, Asia, etc? I wonder if different regions have different issues with WiFi/BT.

I'm in the US. Yeah, I will let you know once I test the card.

You can set whether LEDs remain on in sleep or hibernate mode. For me it works like this (at least if it works at all):
- Sleep: LEDs from mainboard and RAM stay turned on
- Hibernate: LEDs from mainboard stay turned on
- Shutdown: All LEDs off

You can hear the click of the PSU in all cases.

According to my tests my problem is not related to the Fenvi. I not only have the problem that the computer does not wake up, but also that I can only switch the computer on again by clicking the power button several times. Then the computer does the cold double boot (on, off, on). In macOS I also get a corresponding error that it had a problem in the last step before entering sleep.
 
Hey @CaseySJ, with your flashed NVM 50 on the Vision D, does your boot time increase? I noticed that on my Vision D, with the Flashed Thunderbolt NVM, the system post time increases by about 20 seconds or so. Seems that the motherboard is trying to communicate with the thunderbolt controller during post... On stock NVM, boot time is shortened significantly.

Although mine boots up at normal speed, there is a way to solve the slow boot time. We add the following in OpenCore as an ACPI patch (credit: @Elias64Fr) with Signature = DSDT:

Comment: disable \_GPE.TINI (Zero, RPS0, RPT0, Zero)
Find: FF5C2E5F 47504554 494E4900 52505330 52505430 00
Replace : FFA3A3A3 A3A3A3A3 A3A3A3A3 A3A3A3A3 A3A3A3A3 A3

Thanks! I had also 30mm thick 240mm rad for the Vega first as AIO and it kept it about 60 degrees. The Vega was of course overclocked and undervolted but took over 300W.
The 3pin Voltage signal for the Vega pump comes from SYS_Fan1 header and for the main pump from CPU_fan header. The main pump gets power also directly from power brick. Both pumps are at Full speed all the time and inaudible.

That BruceX in 6 seconds is just awesome!
 
@hughythomas - would you be willing to share your final efi. I have my Hackintosh working but still can’t get iMessage working. I’ve use @CaseySJ guide but I feel I must be doing something wrong in my conversion to the Visio g board I have. Thanks for any help you can provide. I’ve checked out your other advise and nothing has helped fix my problem.

Hi Kiwimac,

Here is my EFI for the Vision G.

Its still working great for me so hopefully it will give you the same result(s).

I have sanitised the serial numbers within the config.plist. If you open it with Propertree (or whatever method you use to open and edit config.plists) you will see that the necessary fields have "FILL IN YOUR OWN :)" on them for your ease, so you'll need to generate your own (or copy and paste from your existing config).

Also bear in mind my specs are as follows:

Vision G
10900K
Radeon 5700XT
32GB 4000Mhz DDR4 RAM

Hopefully you have similiar setup.

Let me know how you get on mate!

Best,

Tom
