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

[bian]

Thank you, all based on your excellent work. My monitor has Thunderbolt 3 input, so maybe I can plug an USB-C to USB-C cable?

Congratulations! The iGPU supports a maximum of 30Hz at 4K over HDMI because it still uses the older HDMI 1.4 spec. The two Thunderbolt ports (USB-C) support DisplayPort 1.2 that supports full 60Hz at 4K and above. To use those ports we can use either of these cables:

• USB-C to HDMI cable
• USB-C to DisplayPort cable

I found jvm awt based app will crash on launch relating to iGPU.

Certain applications such as (a) Final Cut Pro, (b) iMovie, (c) Firefox, (d) ACDSee Photo Editor for Mac, etc. will crash on launch. Certain web pages will not open in Safari. So use of iGPU is not recommended for daily use.

On-board HDMI broke somewhere around Catalina 10.15.5, but has now been fixed with today's release of WhateverGreen 1.4.1. However, the above listed apps still crash on launch.

Hello fellow Mac users! I just built my first Hackinosh this week and it has been running beautifully. The only problem is I haven’t been able to get sleep to work properly. When I set the cpu to sleep the display goes to sleep, but the fans and motherboard RGB stay on. I’d appreciate any recommendations on what I should try changing?

Yes certainly -- you can use a Thunderbolt cable (which is a USB-C cable with the Thunderbolt lightning logo) to connect your monitor. Some Thunderbolt monitors will accept DisplayPort over a USB-C (USB 3.x) cable, but the safest bet is to use a proper Thunderbolt cable. But if you have an AMD RX 5700 XT, then the iGPU should not be used for video. It should be placed in headless mode (Platform ID 0x3E980003).

I found jvm awt based app will crash on launch relating to iGPU.

This could happen if Platform ID is set to 0x3E9B0007 (non-headless for iGPU).

Hello @OskiTheBear,

Welcome the forum and glad to hear the build is (mostly) working. If the system is unable to enter sleep, we need to see which components are installed in the system:

• What is the make/model of the CPU cooler?
• Is CPU cooler connected to internal USB 2.0 header?
• What devices are connected to internal USB 2.0 header?
• Do you have a WiFi/BT card? If so, what make and model?
• Are there any other PCIe devices?
• Are there any Thunderbolt devices connected?

Things are mostly working for me. But my Sabrent Rocket NVMe4 Crystal benchmarks at about half what others report in Windows 10 Pro. I have the latest drivers from Gigabyte. And the Intel Power Gadget won't open at all in Windows.

Something else I'm noticing is that despite pretty light use my Samsung Evo is down to 92% "life". A Hackintosh seems to really shorten the life of an SSD. My last Samsung seemed to be doing the same thing.

Hi
I am trying to install my hack using OC 0.6 and the directions I found from this thread. After booting from OC the Apple logo keeps on screen and nothing happens. Is there a way to troubleshoot using a "-v" parameter in order to see what is going on behind the scene? My motherboard is Gigabyte Z490 vision G.
Thanks

Thanks for the Response @CaseySJ , here's the information you asked for.

• NZXT Kraken X73 360 mm
• Yes
• AIO cooler, Fenvi T919, NZXT Smart Device
• Yes, Fenvi T919
• Only the GPU and WiFi/BT card.
• No Thunderbolt devices.

Here are my power settings as well. Wasn't sure if they were right.

Very good.

• If you unplug the Kraken from the USB header, does the system enter sleep and remain asleep?
• If system still fails to sleep, the (a) reconnect the Kraken, but (b) remove the Fenvi FV-T919 and check sleep again.

Be sure to shutdown the system and flip power switch on PSU to OFF whenever disconnecting or attaching components to the motherboard.

Hi
I've found out on how to get verbose (cmd+v) during opencore boot and so I got the installation boot message. Anyone can help me out to tell me what is wrong? I am stopped on this screen.

Are you using the PCIe 4.0 version of Sabrent Rocket?
Regarding issues with Windows, I generally ask people to search for answers on Google. This thread is principally about macOS.

Something else I'm noticing is that despite pretty light use my Samsung Evo is down to 92% "life". A Hackintosh seems to really shorten the life of an SSD. My last Samsung seemed to be doing the same thing.

My ADATA, Sabrent, and Silicon Power NVMe SSDs are still well above 95% (most are between 99%-100%) even after months of use. A Hackintosh per se does not shorten the life of an SSD. Other factors may be involved such as TRIM Support. We should look at System Information --> NVMExpress to check if TRIM Support is Yes or No.
