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

You can also try using the on-board HDMI port or the two on-board Thunderbolt ports to connect your monitor. In this case we would need to do the following:

• Try a different video cable. Always preferable to use a certified HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.2/1.4 cable.
• If that does not help, then we could do the following:
  • Set Platform ID to 0x3E9B0007 and add HDMI black screen patches. It's much easier to use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable or a USB-C to HDMI cable instead of HDMI-to-HDMI.
    • If you want to try this, I can modify your config.plist (but remove serial number from SMBIOS section before sending).
  • In BIOS, we would set Initial Display Output to IGFX.
  • We would physically remove the AMD GPU.
  • Now we can check if graphics look normal.
  • If so, then AMD GPU is bad.

Hi @CaseySJ, it's been a very long time since I visited this forum, so I'm sure you already forgot the issue I had. Basically, at one point my hackintosh stopped being to able to wake from sleep (even though it worked seamlessly for about 6 months). Among your numerous suggestions, you proposed to try USB C to HDMI cable (I was using HDMI to HDMI) but I didn't have it. I finally got two of those, but unfortunately, monitors don't seem to be connected when I simply connect any of my monitors (the monitor indicators just keep on blinking). So my question might sound really dumb, but do I need to do anything else apart from just connecting the monitor (HDMI) to the video card (USB C)? I was under the impression that it's just plug and play.
By the way, it doesn't work on Windows too, which is installed on a separate SSD, meaning when I turn on the machine from a completely shut down state, nothing appears on the screen(s). Does that mean my Radeon RX580 is busted or something is configured incorrectly in BIOS?

• Are you using a WiFi/BT card such as Fenvi FV-T919?
• Are there any other PCIe cards in the system?
• Are there any Thunderbolt devices connected?
• Is the Corsair H115i connected to the internal F_USB header?

It would be best to follow the process of elimination by disconnecting certain devices as follows:

• Remove the WiFi/BT card and see if the problem persists.
• Remove all PCIe cards except AMD RX 580 and see if the problem persists.
• Disconnect all Thunderbolt devices and see if the problem persists.
• Disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse, then see if the problem persists.

Also, are you using a Thunderbolt monitor or a standard HDMI/DisplayPort monitor?

Hello,

• Are you using a WiFi/BT card such as Fenvi FV-T919? Yes, the FV-HB1200
• Are there any other PCIe cards in the system? No
• Are there any Thunderbolt devices connected? No
• Is the Corsair H115i connected to the internal F_USB header? Yes
• are you using a Thunderbolt monitor or a standard HDMI/DisplayPort monitor? 2 4K DisplayPort monitors

I've disconnected every usb device in my system, besides the mouse and the keyboard, including the Fenvi Card and the Corsair H115i, and the problem is reproduced at every reboot...

It seems weird that I'm the only one having this problem, with two motherboards!

It's worth mentioning that this problem wasn't happening every time at the beginning, but now it is!

It would be best to perform a clean installation on a spare SATA SSD mounted in an external USB 3 enclosure or internally to an available SATA port.

@CaseySJ - so I built a new Install USB, config.plist and trying to install Catalina 10.15.7 on to an external drive. I get OC to boot, get to MacOS installer, format drive as GUID / APFS - but then when I get to Select the Disk for install all drives are greyed out and I get a message -

"Your mac needs a firmware update to install on this volume. Please select a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume instead."

Have you seen this before?

Hello Mr Casey !!

Don't you think that it would be useful to specify in the tutorial for the installation of 10.15.4 and following not to use Clover beyond its version 5122 with this guide ? Or am I wrong ?

Agreed. Will add a statement to that effect.

Edit: Done.

Hi CaseySJ I have iPad Pro 2020 connected through the right pro cable Thunderbolt*, I can see iPad but screen always black. Some time ago I read in this forum that you have to reactivate Handoff, or something like that. Can you give me a hand? Thanks

Any clue @CaseySJ

@CaseySJ

You are indeed using the correct USB SSDT. Some more questions:

• Are you running Mojave or Catalina?
• Please post screenshot of /Library/Extensions folder.
• Also post screenshot of CLOVER/kexts/Other folder in EFI partition.
• Then run Terminal and type kextstat | grep -v apple and post the output.

Ooops, I guess I was too sleepy yesterday. USB C ports are present on the MB and not the GPU, so I don't think that it's a GPU issue anymore.

It's worth mentioning that this problem wasn't happening every time at the beginning, but now it is!

Since logically it can't be motherboard fault, I tried to switch to OpenCore using @CaseySJ fantastic tutorial, and guess what: No more clock problem!! I restarted multiple times, removed the power, tried everything. It just works. But as soon as I start my mac using my original EFI, the clock freezes, and even switching back to OpenCore doesn't resume it back, only removing the battery does the trick.

I tested it just this morning so I need time to be sure that OpenCore resolves the issue.

But now I have different issues with OpenCore: I'm unable to unlock or approve admin requests using my Apple Watch, it was working great with Clover. Sidecar also doesn't work. Anyone have the same issue here ?
