The everything works Asus Z390-I Gaming * i7-8700K * SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX Vega 64 Build

[MartinThorwarth]

Thank you very much for your Guide!
I installed OSX Mojave an use the following Components:
Motherboard Asus Z390 E Gaming
Intel i7 9700 3000 MHz
SanDisc 2 TB SSD

And really now everything works!!!
Only the On-Board WLAN - as expected - did not work.
So I bought a Fenvi T919 Wireless Card - works perfect.

I am using the OpenCore EFI.

Only the USB 3.1 ports seem to work.

Is there something missing in my EFI folder?

I didn't go in too deep but the ACPI section, Kexts and what's called for in the config.plist looks pretty good. Maybe try using Hackintool and identifying the ports you want to use, keeping the total amount under 15 (each USB3 requires two) and use the UIAC-SSDT.aml it generates instead. I can link to the how to if you like, what I have been using is attached, it doesn't have any of the wireless/bluetooth kexts but you weren't loading this anyway. OC6.0

Hey, had an error in the kexts, this is probably going to work better for you.

Thank you for this! USB ports now work except for the Front Panel USB. I guess I need to do some mappings right?

Also another question, I have another build using this combo also using Clover. Would transition to OpenCore be as easy as replacing the EFI folder?

Yes to your first question, you may need to disable other ports to get those working, as long as the total of all ports do not exceed 15 (USB3 and C take two each). https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-new-beginners-guide-to-usb-port-configuration.286553/

Moving to OC is that easy although you may want to sign out of iCloud first and then use your USB boot drive with OC on it to be sure there are no issues.

Unfortunately, GPU don't work with video encoding.
Maybe someone knows how to enable it on iMac smbios?
with MacPro smbios we will have an issue with CPU since MacPro have Xeons. right?

I don't know much about this but in looking into something else found that CPU Video Encoding is recommended for quality and GPU for speed but lesser quality. In trying to answer your question I found this but wonder if the program you are using to encode also makes a difference.

After reading about everything bluetooth in this forum I went and got a Gmyle Bluetooth USB Adapter. Unfortunately it's not working out of the box and I am hoping someone can tell me what I'm missing. The dongle does not show up in bluetooth devices, but is detected in my USB 2.0 hub. I have tried to switch the host controller but the change does not stick. I have attached a number of screenshots which I hope give a comprehensive overview of the different settings. I'm grateful for any help I can get to finally connect my Airpods and get some relief from hours of work videos on a wired headset.

It says right in the description it does NOT work with MacOS. I think your best bet is to return it and find one that does. There is an ASUS model I have used before that does for about the same $.
