This confirms that the Thunderbolt SSDT is loaded properly. SSDT-DTPG is ignored because Method DTGP exists somewhere else. This is okay.
I think this may be the only solution.
Yesterday I flashed NVM33 from Designare Z390 onto my GC-Titan Ridge v1.0 with excellent results in Big Sur. USB ports show up and they work, which is something that fails with DSM2 (NVM23) firmware.
I think I will just flash it with NVM33 and remove the power mod and move it back to Slot 2 and attach the TB cable. I have to move around the GPU/tubes.
The funny part is without TB3 SSDTs it does show up fine with no freezes.
I just don't have any TB3 devices to test, maybe I'll order something just to test.
It is showing 2x20 tho instead of 1x40 like it used to.
Yes, for a non-Slot 2 that would be shorting the 3+5 pin on the header. I've done a fair amount of messing with dual TR on SAGE/10G and the second card is always a bit problematic, including that freezing issue you noted. I could get the card to show properly in IOreg, but it didn't help stability.
I know first-hand how much of a pain it will be to re-route your liquid cooling, but I would really recommend that. It's a physical solution that will allow you to use the default TB method that we all know works (fairly) reliably. I thought there were single slot water cooled 6900 XT's? Are those only the OEM ones, and not aftermarket blocks?
Thanks! I'm probably going to do the above. It seems that no 6900XT waterblock is actually flat, although it's single slot.
The Radeon VII EK waterblock was completely flat so I could fit the TB3 card in slot 2 easily.
Also I mentioned above but with DSM2 firmware and no SSDTs for TB3 in a different slot and the power mod, it does show up. Just says 2x20 instead of 1x40 like it used to.
I kind of want to try a TB3 device to test without SSDTs in a different slot with this firmware just to see if it's something that works before I completely move the card which is a headache.
I don't even use TB3 that much I just wanted it to work just in case like it used to.
I also wonder if these blocks are flat, going to check the dimensions:
