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

Hi,
Is it a good thing to run KextUpdater app to update kexts?
i have installed it but it asks to change security from 14 to 3 in OC to mount EFI folder.

Manual control over OpenCore configuration is preferred. In general, we should avoid beta versions of Hackintosh kexts. Several apps that auto-download and auto-install kexts will download and install beta versions.

Does anyone else here with an RX 5700XT experience a behavior that the monitor goes to sleep (black screen) between the Apple logo/progress bar and the desktop login?

Can someone succinctly explain the load line calibration option in the Vision D BIOS, and what it does and what is the best setting?

I was playing around with it, and I set it from auto to a few settings and settled on medium (the ‘low’ setting resulted in application crashes under sustained load). Temps in Cinebench r20 have dropped a full 9 degrees at the same Vcore voltage. Just trying to understand. I’ve overclocked the 10700K to 5.1 GHz all core. In macOS, temps during a Cinebench run were kinda hot at 85-86 degrees. I’m using a Kkraken Z63 cooler, and macOS doesn’t have the benefit of adjusting the pump speed in response to temp. When I run Cinebench in Windows, same BIOS settings as above, temps were in the 70s. But in windows I have the benefit of NZXT ramping up the pump/fan speed responsive to system temp.

Now with the load line calibration BIOS tweak, the system consumes less power and generates less heat under sustained load. I’m now getting a respectable 77 degrees @5.1 GHz overclocked in macOS. which is awesome, considering a real iMac20,1 (that is not overclocked to 5.1 GHz all core) hits 99 degrees and throttles down during a Cinebench run. Thanks.

Hi there,

I have the same cpu as yours. would you mind telling me what settings you modified to overclock your cpu?
Thanks

There shouldn't be a problem with DisplayPort output. The default should be RGB for DisplayPort, not YCbCr. Maybe there's a problem with the Intel framebuffer settings which makes it think it's an HDMI port. Intel GPU only supports HDMI 1.4, so that could be the reason why the resolution is limited. Use Lilu + WhateverGreen, then make some framebuffer patch (do some research).
If you can't switch the Mac model, then I guess you need to try some different WhateverGreen settings.

yeah just deleted overrides and the display now recognized itself as usual 'Dell P4317Q' with color format YPbPr
and if I change in Monitor to RGB format it looks all red

I really don't know how to fix the Lilu + WhateverGreen and make correct patch which will allow to use the RGB format on display?

What does Input Source say?

What does Input Source say?

says that's DP is on using 2560x1440, 60Hz

also I discover that my usb-c to DP cable is DP1.2, but not 1.4 version and I don't know if it's really so critical
Recently I have a problem with this cable, sometimes it flickers and display goes black for a few seconds.

DP1.2 is sufficient. I think the only problem is that it is defaulting to YCbCr color instead of RGB and that you can't get it to output 4K 60Hz. Consider looking at Hackintool and Whatevergreen. There are separate threads for those.

Yes. I also have a Z490 Vision G and installed a Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Pulse.
I am currently troubleshooting these problems with the help of some wonderful people on this forum. However, I have ordered a Vision D motherboard for testing and will report if the situation is motherboard dependent in my case.


Stay tuned!

Hi CaseySJ,

Thank you very much for this great build! I've finished a setup with Vision D motherboard, Installation was very smooth with your guide! The only problem that I have experience is mouse feels like bit delayed. (I'm using a USB mouse and keyboard). It is not lagging but I feel like there is a input delay. I have 5700XT GPU. Finally I have a question about WIFI/BT options for vision d.


Is it possible to use m.2 Wlan unit with Vision D motherboards ? Thanks!

Hello @Enceylan,

Glad to hear the build is up and running. If you're using a wired USB mouse, try another USB port. If you're using a wireless USB mouse (such as Logitech Unifying mice) check for any metal objects in the line of sight between the USB Unifying Receiver and the mouse.

As for the BCM94360NG or any other M.2 WiFi/BT card, I'm afraid only Intel CNVi modules will work there. That is not a general purpose M.2 slot, but an Intel proprietary slot.
