@CaseySJ is it OK to talk about Big Sur public beta here? If so, is the installer process changed from Catalina?

Once the public beta is made available then it's okay to discuss it here. As of now Apple has seeded Developer Beta #3, but not released the Public Beta.

Have you been able to install the Public Beta? Mine won't boot after restart.

Where did you get this Public Beta ? It's not available for public download yet.

This may be a silly reply, but, if you don't currently own any TB devices, why are you bothering about thinking about purchasing a TB device to test if you have flashed the ROM successfully?

it might be a silly reply.

1. this is my last hackintosh, i'm pretty sure, because of the transition to ARM
2. therefore i would like it to be as complete as possible. my current machine has a TB2 port but i never put any effort into getting it working and that always bugged me.
3. apparently no one has dumped the TB rom from an X299 asus prime deluxe II, so i'd be helping the community if i dump the rom and CaseySJ can patch it

i was also thinking about buying an LTO8 backup device at some point in the future and there is a TB3 version of that available now.

so - any answer to my question?

Sure, but if you're currently on Clover 4xxx then it's best to following this guide:

What is the make/model of your monitor? Are you connecting it via iGPU? If so, are you using the HDMI port on the rear I/O panel? Or the two Thunderbolt / DisplayPort outputs? Are you using any video converters such as DP to DVI, or HDMI to DVI? Are you running Mojave or Catalina? How long has...

I'm on 5119, I'll give it a try when I'm feeling brave.

Thanks as always.

Thunderbolt is inherently expensive because of Intel license fees, but a good TB3 dock can now be purchased for $120 to $150.

ok i'll look into a dock then, thanks.

A dock is a good general-purpose Thunderbolt device that can, of course, be dedicated to a laptop when not needed on the Hackintosh.

@CaseySJ : Thank you so much, I don’t have the issues anymore after updating OCquirks. I also applied the patch for better GPU performances. Now my Radeon VII metal score in Geekbench jumped from 60000 to 100000, this is awesome.
I’m having a small new issue, but not a big deal: when I select shutdown, my computer doesn’t shutdown but restarts instead. I’m not sure if you are aware of this bug?

I may have neglected to mention that SSDT-NVRAM.aml should be copied to CLOVER/ACPI/patched. This file is located at the bottom of this post:
