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

Hello @CaseySJ, hope you're doing well. Just have a quick question regarding a small issue with the last 2 updates of OpenCore.

After updating from 0.6.6 to 0.6.7, and now to 0.6.8, I get a forbidden symbol when booting to macOS (10.15.7). When it happens, I go pass through it by reseting the NVRAM in the picker, but after some time it comes back, and I need to reset the NVRAM again for it to go away and boot into macOS. I don't know what's causing it. I did not tried adding -v to try to see what the error is yet.

Do you have any clue about this, or is it a known issue?
Thanks in advance.
Hello @nifranza,

Couple of suggestions to try:
  • Replace the coin cell battery on motherboard.
  • Perform CMOS Reset (which then requires BIOS parameters to be configured once again, starting with F7 [Load Optimized Defaults]).
Also note that enabling Verbose is very simple in OpenCore. Please have a look at the lower right of this post:
 
Hi Casey, firstly thank you for your support in our community - brilliant !

I have a similar Z490 Vision D running macOS 11.2.3, OC0.6.8 with your flashed v50 Thunderbolt firmware.
I own a M1 Mac and needed more ports, so purchased a "OWC Thunderbolt Hub" - pix attached. It works on the M1 Mac connecting 3 x Thunderbolt devices and 1 x USB 3.1 to the M1 Thunderbolt port. But no go on the Z490 Hackintosh.

Agreed Thunderbolt Hub support is a new USB4 feature added to newer PCs and macs.

The OWC Hub does not connect as either Thunderbolt or USB and does not appear as a new device in the Mac SysInfo Thunderbolt/USB4 tab. Attached M1 pix for comparison, specifically showing the "Mode: USB4" rather than "Mode: Thunderbolt3" message.

Are you aware if anyone has got this Thunderbolt Hub feature working on a Hackintosh as yet or being considered ?
Thanks, Jeff
Hello @jeffgsm,

Welcome to the forum and also to the Society of Mad Scientists. The latter is a dubious distinction we bestow upon all who are crazy enough (i.e. mad) to flash their onboard controller!

You might be the first to attach a Thunderbolt4/USB4 hub to a flashed Titan Ridge controller. I'm not aware of anyone who preceded you.

Did the OWC Thunderbolt Hub connect to the original, un-flashed controller?
 
Hello there! Here’s my weekly reminder for everyone owning a Hackintosh AND an Antelope audio device.. :)
Any news?
 
Hello, Casey! Just wanted to Know is there any way I can Install Kali Linux along with macOS using OpenCore 0.6.8. I am not sure that it will show up in Bootloader or not. Please help and suggest what can be done in this regard as I am currently using 3 OSs with OpenCore Cloudready Chrome OS , Windows 10 and Big Sur. Please do help me out as I want to use Kali Linux for Penetration and Testing Purpose.

Agreed mad, but that goes with most people who break new ground :)

The Hub did not work with the original NVM50 firmware on the Z490 Vision D with macOS 11.2.3. Same under Windows 10 on the same Z490 and an older B460M + a GC TR rev 2 AIC.
No Hub entry in the macOS System_Information Thunderbolt/USB4 tab or IORegistry. The Hub's built in indicator changed from white (no connection) to Blue (data flowing). Only the last Thunderbolt device port provided power to a device, but no data, other TB ports did not even supply power to connected devices.

After flashing the Z490 with 'Gigabyte-Vision-D-NVM-50-Elias64Fr-CaseySJ.bin' neither Windows 10 (20H2) or LinuxMint v20.1 Thunderbolt worked. Is that normal? Windows shows no Thunderbolt controller. Linux says can't start Thunderbolt ICM.

Although the new Thunderbolt "Hub mode" appears documented under the "Thunderbolt 4" specs, Apple announced it recently enabled this feature in ALL "Thunderbolt 3" Macs - I guess the existing Alpine/Titan Ridge controllers should work with this feature already added inside recent macOS? Hubs worked well on the M1 Mac, typically loosing about 10% performance - slightly less than daisy chaining devices. I'll dig a bit more and update this post trail.

Thanks,
Jeff

There is a mini guide in this thread - HERE
 
My build does not seem to be going fully to sleep anymore. The monitor shuts off fine after time, however the actual PC itself does not seem to properly sleep. The computer will sleep fine if I manually select Sleep from the drop down.

Below are my power settings (I am not sure what any of the sleep prevented items are):

standby 0
Sleep On Power Button 1
womp 0
autorestart 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
proximitywake 0
powernap 0
gpuswitch 0
networkoversleep 0
disksleep 10
standbydelayhigh 86400
sleep 5 (sleep prevented by sharingd, nsurlsessiond, UserEventAgent)
hibernatemode 0
ttyskeepawake 0
displaysleep 5
tcpkeepalive 0
