Comments​

This Hackintosh build guide is NOT GUARANTEE 100% fully working in your conditions.*(JUST first approach for Z590 M/B)

This guide has been tested on MacOS Bigsur 11.2.2, OPENCORE 0.6.7 and prefers the use of an AMD dGPU for ease of installation.
However, until now, I have NOT found the BEST SETTINGS for iGPU hardware full acceleration.
(I plan to update iGPU acceleration data to this thread)

And this guide can be used on the Gigabyte, MSI, AsRock M/B also. (some settings are different)

​

Procedure​

1. Install MacOS 11.2.2 or newer with OPENCORE 0.6.6 or newer.
   (If your usb ports doesn’t work well, please apply usb settings at #4 before install procedure)
   
   
   
2. BIOS Settings are not special.(XHCI Hand-off Enabled, Internal Graphics Enabled, Serial port Disabled etc.)
   
   
   
3. Set the SMBIOS to iMac20,2. iMac 20,1 or iMacPro 1,1(either is okay)
   
   
   
4. Apply custom USB Port map files.iMac20,1 and iMacPro1,1 is not matter(USBPorts.kext modified by ohchang).
   There are 2 ways you can do this:
   
   - USBPorts.kext without USBInjectall.kext
   
   - SSDT-UIAC-Z590-VISION-G-V1.aml with USBInjectall.kext
   
   cf) Custom USBInjectall.kext by softxing(for XHC 500 Series USB Chipset 8086:43ed)
   https://gitee.com/softxing/OS-X-USB-Inject-All
   
   
   
5. Change M/B Bios Initial Display Output(Gigabyte) or Primary display(ASUS) to PCIe 1 or PEG(and iGPU MUST be turned on)
   
   
   
6. Apply the Framebuffer patch(Headless) on your Devices setting in config.plist. (check settings as below and recommend using the Hackintool)
   

   AAPL,ig-platform-id: 0300923E(maybe works well 0x3E980003)
   
   device-id: 923E0000 Intel UHD 630(maybe works well 0x3E98 etc., not necessarily)
   
   igfxfw: 02000000

   
   Ref.
   https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html#deviceproperties
   https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.IntelHD.en.md
   
   
   
7. Built-in Audio (ALC 4080) no need any settings or kexts. ALC 4080 uses USB HS14 port. It looks like External USB Sound Card.
   
   
   
8. Built-in Ethernet (Intel i225-V 2.5GBe controller) only works with fake device-id(F2150000) and FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext. Also, I recommend manual hardware configuration in Ethernet advanced settings.

• System will NOT boot without SSDT-AWAC.aml
• ITE Device (0x5702 device on USB HS13 port): if you need the RGB Fusion feature, please check other thread as below. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-10400-amd-rx-580.298642/page-24#post-2138475

​

What Works​

• Continuity features
• WiFi and BT
• Built-in Ethernet, Audio
• Sleep and wake
• DRM(like Netflix, but only SMBIOS iMacPro1,1)
• FCPX editing, skimming, export
• iGPU hardware acceleration(Quicksync)

​

What doesn't works​

• Nothing
• Sleep and wake works but Fan still running (Fixing USB Ports map settings: USBPorts.kext and SSDT-UIAC-Z590-VISION-G-V2.aml)
• iGPU hardware acceleration(Quicksync)

​

Summary​

As far as I have been able to test, everything works well except iGPU hardware acceleration and Thunderbolt devices.
(I don’t have ThunderboltEX 3 or Titan/Alpine ridge add-on card)

If you need more detailed settings fot this GIGABYTE Z590 Vision-G M/B, please check attached file.(like as USB ports map)

Thanks.

Updates/Edits

Update 23.04.22 for Ventura​

1. Freezing and stuttering after Ventura 13.x update - i225-V related
2. Not working FCPX/Compressor or H/W acceleration failure after the Ventura update - iGPU related
And other tiny problems fixed and improvements
→ Solution : Mini guide (maybe temporary)

Update 21.06.20​

The Intel i225-v connection lost problem reappears.
→ Solution : Mini guide (maybe temporary)

Update 21.06.12​

- Opencore 0.7.0 applied


- Freezing and stuttering or boot failure after Big sur 11.4 update
→ Solution : Mini guide

* This fix already applied to Ver 0.6 EFI; special thanks to @root2 for this report


- Sleep does not work properly after WiFi module(NGFF M.2 M key type adapter) install
→ Solution : Mini guide

* You don't need to use this quick fix for sleep issues if you have a PCI-e WiFi module.


- SK Hynix P31 NVME M.2 SSD works well with Hackintosh: Firmware update or Rev.41062C20 needed.

​

Update 21.05.05​

- 15 USB ports map applied

- Opencore 0.6.9 applied

- Big sur 11.3.1 tested ok

- and minor issue updated

• There is no way to set more than 16 USB ports in Big sur 11.3.1, Opencore 0.6.9.
  I set 15 port with USBPorts.kext. Disabled USB ports information as below. (Enable - Blue text, Disable - Red text)
  Now, Everything works well.

​

Update 21.04.27​

Do NOT up date to Big sur 11.3
Some USB ports map does not work in 11.3
I'll update UIAC files ASAP
Temporary solution for USB issue with Big sur 11.3
→ https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/ohchangs-build-gigabyte-z590-vision-g-i7-10700k-amd-rx580.310986/post-2245176

Update 21.04.04​

Fix USB Ports map settings.(Sleep and wake work well) This update affected both ways.(kext and acpi)

​

Update 21.03.14​

Add some SSDTs(Fake EC Device, SBUS etc.,)

​

Update 21.03.12​

iGPU H/W acceleration works smoothly and quickly. (SMBIOS iMac20,2 / platform-id 0300923E / device-id 923E0000)

If H/W acceleration doesn't work after MacOS 11.2.3 update, change ID to 0300983E and 983E0000. Please check config.plist ver0.4.

Export: FCPX 10.5.1, H.264, MP4, 1920*1080, 29.97p(2000kbps), Add some plug-ins and effects, 29:54

• iMac20,2, Bigsur 11.2.2, OC 0.6.7, 10700K, GA Z590 Vision G, RX580: 26:44(This Hackintosh)
• iMac19,1, Catalina 10.15.6, OC 0.6.0, 9600K, GA H370 Gaming 3, RX580: 27:35
• iMac19,1, Bigsur 11.1, OC 0.6.7, 9900K, GA Z390 Designare, 9900K, Vega64: 18:12

Intel Power Gadget can not show GFX AVG(iGPU). But it works(H/W acceleration) well.

Screenshots​

ALC 4080 works like External USB Sound Card.

Intel i225-V 2.5GBe controller works with fake device-id(F2150000) and FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext.

Manual hardware configuration in Ethernet advanced settings.

Very interesting -- thanks for being brave enough to buy the Z590! I was afraid the audio codec might not be compatible, but it seems they've just implemented it as a USB audio device on HS14.

This should put many people at ease about buying a Z590 board.

Very nice, great job! I'm interesting in the VisonLink USB-c port which suppose to act like Thunderbird, or this going to work in the future.

 

[la-tristesse]

Will it be possible to get a x8 connection from the chipset to the CPU with the Comet Lake CPU (10th gen), and/or is it limited to 11th gen CPUs? Can you check that?

I hope so.
I worried about ALC 4080 also. But it works without any effort

Unfortunately the Thunderbolt(ThunderboltEX 3 or Titan/Alpine ridge add-on card) connections not in my workflow.
Maybe I will test the Visionlink with my gears(LG 43UD79-B or 43UN700) in near future.

late us know when you do test the VisionLink, much appreciated.

As I know, M.2 slot(PCIe 4.0) limitation is depending on CPU gen.
If you mean only PCIe slots performance limitation, please check diagram and specs as below.

The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 ports are interesting. Do they work? If macOS doesn't support 20 Gbps then maybe GenericUSBXHCI.kext can be used (if the 2x2 port is on a different controller then the other ports then you'll want to change the kext to only match that controller). https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/usb-3-x-pcie-cards-for-classic-mac-pro.1501482/

VisionLink - how does this differ from USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode? The DisplayPort input? The Sunix UPD2018 had that functionality and supported USB 3.1 gen 2 (at 8 Gbps) instead of USB 3.0. Too bad this VisionLink doesn't support DisplayPort 1.4 and USB 3.1 gen 2...

Why is it limited to Comet Lake's DisplayPort 1.2 if Rocket Lake supports DisplayPort 1.4? Or maybe DisplayPort 1.4 will be supported if you use a Rocket Lake CPU? This motherboard only exposes two of the possible three iGPU outputs and one is wasted on HDMi 1.4.
