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

Hello @Z390HTosh,

Oh no, it looks as if your RX 580 may have a fault. If you have another motherboard, please try installing the RX 580 into that. If the same problem occurs then there's good reason to believe the GPU is bad.

To switch to Intel iGPU, we can do the following from a working Mac or Hack:
  • Edit your config.plist from the EFI/OC folder in the EFI partition using TextEdit or BBEdit.
  • Find the section DeviceProperties. It should look like this:
XML:
    <key>DeviceProperties</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Add</key>
        <dict>
            <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key>

  • See that first section beginning with <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key>? It looks like this:

  • Save the file.
  • Boot the Hackintosh with the modified config.plist.
  • You may connect monitor to either of these ports located on the rear IO panel:
    • HDMI port (using HDMI to HDMI cable)
    • Thunderbolt/USB-C port 1 (using a USB-C to DP cable)
    • Thunderbolt/USB-C port 2 (using a USB-C to DP cable)
Hi @CaseySJ! I have managed to access my EFI through Ubuntu from a bootable USB. My config.plist is in the folder EFI/Clover. I am using Clover, not OpenCore method. I can't find any of the above line of codes in the file. What am I missing?...Do you need me to attach my config.plist?

Update: from your build guide, under "injecting audio and enabling Onboard HDMI", should I just follow those instructions? Will that be compatible?

Anyone has feedback from F9k BIOS version in TweakTown Forums?

I'm running the recommended official F9i version and avoided the latest official F9j from Gigabyte.

:)

Yes please try that.
 
Yes please try that.
Hi @CaseySJ , while trying those steps under "Injecting audio and Enabling on-board HDMI" i end up having some doubts..in my config.plist under the section <key>Devices</key>, i already have these lines :
<key>Devices</key>
<dict>
<key>Audio</key>
<dict>
<key>Inject</key>
<integer>16</integer>
</dict>
<key>FakeID</key>
<dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<string>0x0</string>
<key>IMEI</key>
<string>0x0</string>
<key>IntelGFX</key>
<string>0x0</string>
<key>LAN</key>
<string>0x0</string>
<key>NVidia</key>
<string>0x0</string>
<key>SATA</key>
<string>0x0</string>
<key>WIFI</key>
<string>0x0</string>
<key>XHCI</key>
<string>0x0</string>
</dict>
<key>NoDefaultProperties</key>
<false/>
<key>USB</key>
<dict>
<key>FixOwnership</key>
<true/>
<key>Inject</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>UseIntelHDMI</key>
<false/>
</dict>

Do i need to completely remove these lines and add the frameBuffer patch or add inbetween?...iam confused ..also in clover configurator the guide says to make sure the graphics section is empty.....Under Graphics section i have these lines..

<key>Graphics</key>
<dict>
<key>Inject</key>
<dict>
<key>ATI</key>
<false/>
<key>Intel</key>
<true/>
<key>NVidia</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
do i need to edit anything here?..So sry if iam being an idiot here...Iam running through ubuntu i don't think clover configurator is supported here..i have attached my plist here...Can you pls take a look

this should be false:
Code:
<key>Intel</key>
<true/>
 
or just edit it to say false or use OpenCore from the guide?
My graphics card got faulty and iam not able to boot my system , so iam trying to switch to iGPU , iam not doing any clean installations...just trying to patch the iGPU to get it running...iam accessing my EFI folder through linux OS from a bootable USB drive...and i can't use the clover configurator....

use a decent text editor....
 
use a decent text editor....
I am using the text editor in Ubuntu itself...I think I can do edits here....but I am having doubts if I should keep my already existing lines under "devices" section and add the framebuffer lines of remove those and add em?
