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

[faithie999]

That is only necessary if you’re using a Thunderbolt monitor. But you can connect a standard DisplayPort/HDMI monitor directly to the AMD GPU.

right. I used the RX 590 DVI output to get the Designare up and running yesterday. What I want to do is to use the Apple TB monitor that I was driving with an Alpine Ridge card in my Aorus Pro. Amazon man will bring the cable today.

@joostiphone Why you say not to take the Nitro Sapphire video card?

CaseySJ, do You know if BIOS F11 for Aorus Z390 Master and F7a for Aorus Z490 Master have MSR unlocked? I've two hacks to build with this 2 boards. First one with i5-9600KF and 2nd with i9-10850K.

My daughter's Z390 Master has it unlocked but I can't remember if I did that or if it was that way by default. It is an option now in the BIOS so either way you can unlock it easily. You have to go into the BIOS to set all the other bits as necessary, so a few more key presses to unlock it is no big deal.

I flashed the Thunderbolt successfully and downloaded the files added. Everything works except when dismasting my iMac 2011 27 inch screen. Thunderbolt plug does not light up on startup. What to do to fix the problem ??

You are the only person on this lovely planet that has this problem!

So certainly please try USBPorts.kext through Hackintool. You can follow this guide:

The New Beginner's Guide to USB Port Configuration

Important Update: June 2023 From Big Sur 11.3 on the built-in OpenCore XhciPortLimit quirk no-longer worked as described. This became a known "bug", though in reality it was Apple changing their internal code, making a simple "peek and poke" to keep it operating, a difficult task. However, with...

At least I’m the first in something, could be worse!
I’ll give it a try, thanks

Thank you for a Great guide!!! Is there SSDT for Gigabyte X299 Designare? or Can I apply one of them? or any recommendation?

If you would like to enable Thunderbolt hot-plug for your Gigabyte X299 EX [if you don't have the EX model, please let me know], please try the attached SSDTs:

• SSDT-TB3HP.aml enables Thunderbolt hot-plug.
• SSDT-DTPG.aml provides a helper function. If you already have a "Method DTGP" defined in one of your existing SSDTs then this file can be skipped.

@CaseySJ I have problem with sleep that prevented from my Bluetooth device (DW1560). If i disconnect the usb header from motherboard, hackinoths it's sleep right away.
Wake up reason is : AppleACPIPlatformPower Wake reason: XDCI CNVW
Usb map is ok for sure.
I have stack and i don't know what else to do.
I have attached my EFI if you can take a look for mistakes.

Gigabyte has been very nice to us recently, by adding the CFG-Lock option in Boot section of BIOS Setup. Please check if your BIOS contains this parameter. If not, there are other ways to unlock MSR 0xE2, the easiest of which is to use CFGLock.efi. I can show you how to use this if your BIOS does not have CFG-Lock option.

Hi folks

Seems, I missed the step off adding agdpmod=pikera into .63 when upgrading from .062 Unfortunately, that's is the case for my back up thumb key with .062. So im getting a black screen on boot. I cant get into my hackintosh at all now. Is there anyway i can edit the config.plist in windows to add it or maybe at the boot screen of open core before its tries to boot. This black screen is a thorn so many times for me

Hi Casey,

Thank you so much for the solution you provided. I enabled the older version of ultrafine 5k(27MD5KA) successfully(both screen and usb-related devices) with your instruction.

However, I bought a newer version of ultrafine 5K(27MD5KL) and I can never activate the usb-related devices. The monitor won't lit up most of the time and I encountered consecutive fails trying to boot into desktop.

I flashed the titan ridge card and used two ssdt files. They work perfectly fine for the old ultrafine 5k. Without changing anything, they fail to support the new one.

AFAIK the only difference between the two monitors is the controller. The old version uses Alpine ridge as the new one adopts Titan ridge. Should I modify the ssdt files to accommodate the new monitor?

I attached the log of IORegistry and my ssdts, hope they can provide more information.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! Thank you!
