Since no one has had any ideas yet on my post (Link to my post), let me run one by you all and see if it makes sense before I rip everything apart. I'm concerned that something I transferred from my old machine to the new hackintosh is causing the sleep issue. Is that possible? Maybe I should use another hard drive and do a fresh install (without transferring anything) using my current EFI and see if sleep works. If it works, then it is something I transferred. If it doesn't work, then I'm back to square one. Is that a fair (and worthwhile) test?

Thanks,
Ed

That is the right idea. It is possible that something 'not nice' got transferred from the old system. There is also the Sleep Aid guide below, but your idea to install fresh copy of macOS sounds like the right first step. Also try disconnecting the NZXT Smart Device from the internal USB header if it's plugged in.

[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

@CaseySJ So tried to BOOT using my M2P slotted NVMe Main Clone- Same result as SSD. about 10 mins of idle with no input and computer reboots back to clover menu. Also tried, X.M.P- Disabled which dropped ram from 3200mhz to 2133mhz Still gave me the same result as prior, 10 mins idle, reboot...

Interesting... I thought all their issues were with WiFi or BT. I'll try that tonight. I can probably live without it, if necessary. Thanks for your feedback.

If the Fenvi does turn out to be the problem, there are a couple of options:
  • Try moving to another PCIe slot
  • Replace it with the YOUBO card if it's available
 
Hey Guys,
Need a little advice on choosing a second NVME for the middle M.2 slot.
Its down to either the Sabrent Rocket or the Rocket Q. The non Q version
seems to be a little faster but not that much and has a little bit newer tech in it.

Are they both compatible with this build ? Is it worth the extra $ or would I just be paying for that bump in speed.

Any knowledge anyone has about this would be great.

Thanks!

No need to update OC or kexts. As usual though, it is always wise to make sure you have a bootable backup before any updates are installed.

Thanks for the tips. I have just done it and... miracle : my Fenvi T919 whose bluetooth refused to work suddenly started working. That may be due to the fact that I transfered my previous install from an SSD to an NVME and changed from Clover to OC. Everything worked except BT. The new install may have changed a thing or two. Anyway: it's bliss. Thanks again to Casey for his wonderful work. Can't wait for Big Sur.

The Q series uses quad-level cells that increase storage density and reduce cost at the expense of a bit of read/write performance. In most real-world applications you won't notice the difference. Quad cell devices provide higher capacities at lower cost and are well worth considering.
 
@CaseySJ Is there a new version for the "SSDT-GPRW.aml" : "Disable wake from USB/Bluetooth; wake only with power button" ? I activated the one from the OC161 bundle in the OpenCore config, but USB keypresses still wake the system, unfortunately.
Would be very cool!

I only had it working on the Z390 Designare with Clover.
 
I updated my system to 10.15.7, and it seems to (partially) address my question about the 2nd boot stage; the driver seems to connect to my RX 5700 XT much quicker now. The monitors do not go into sleep (but they do go black for a few seconds), and the graphics card immediately shows up in 'About This Mac' and System profiler now; before they would take a few seconds to populate.

If it's helpful, I'm on Sapphire Nitro+ and it -seems- the the video card ports dynamically enumerate in some fashion. I might try and hard code the connector types and see if it locks them in.

Other users have had problems with the Fenvi FV-T919 WiFi/BT card, try sleep with this card removed.

Well... this was interesting. I removed the Fenvi and sleep worked... the first time I tested it. Though the fans never fully shut off, it acted like it was sleeping. I put the case back together and sleep never worked again. No matter what I tried, it would always just shut down. So, I decided to rebuild the EFI from scratch (keeping the same serial numbers). I still left the Fenvi card out. I booted the BIOS and rebuilt the settings, then proceed to Mac boot with the "new" EFI. No difference except... now there is no entity (BIOS or Opencore) that can see my windows SSD to boot from it. The BIOS can see the disk, just not enough to see the boot files. What could have caused this?? I should have known better than to start this before the weekend. :lol: Oh, the NZXT controller has been disconnected the whole time.

I guess I'll try doing a fresh install this weekend on a spare drive and see if sleep starts to work then. BTW, does it matter what fan profile I set in the BIOS? Or does the MacOS always do its own thing after booting?

Thanks for the advice so far. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
