Gigabyte B550 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + AMD RX 5600 XT

Actually it should be okay to have both Thunderbolt controllers active. On the Mac we will need two Thunderbolt SSDTs, each with a different Thunderbolt Bus ID and different UID. We can easily generate new Thunderbolt SSDTs using @Inqnuam's HackinDROM Website (not app). We can help you with that.

I hope the website isn't awful as they say

My B550 Vision D with BIOS F13 running OC 0.7.4 (CaseySJs file) and Big Sur 11.6 or Monterey Beta 9 refuses to sleep after experimenting with changing various settings in both the BIOS and the config.plist file.

Remember that I have no problem with sleep/wale with BIOS F10.

Post #1,379 has my hardware configuration.

I tried the following changes in BIOS F13 one at a time:

• SATA Port Enable -> Disabled (I disabled my SATA HDDs)
• X.M.P -> Disabled
• Wake on LAN -> Disabled (Enabled by default)
• AMD CPU fTPM -> Enabled (Disabled by default)

In System Preferences -> Energy Saver (starting with all boxes unchecked):

• Activated "Put hard disks to sleep when possible"

I disabled Bluetooth, WiFi and Ethernet all at once - No LAN activity.

I changed to a DP connection on the RX 580 to a different LG 4K monitor.

I moved my USB 2 Apple Keyboard/Mouse from a back USB2 port to a back USB3 port.

In the config.plist file I changed the following one at a time:

• Disabled USBWakeFixup.kext
• Disabled NVMeFix.kext

My power supply is an EVGA 1000 G3. It has an ECO ON/OFF switch as well as an OFF/ON. I tried the ECO switch in both positions without any effect on sleep.

One anomaly I have noticed, regardless of BIOS version, is that if I leave a Thunderbolt external SSD drive connected to a Thunderbolt port, shut the hack down, then manually unplug the external drive, the hack restarts. I wouldn't expect this to happen. Perhaps my power supply is an issue?

CaseySJ - since our hardware is quite similar, and we are using the same F13 BIOS, and the same EFI, could you post your saved BIOS settings file so I could use it to reset my BIOS -- just in case there is some tweak to yours that is not currently represented in mine?

At this point I have run out of ideas on what could be causing my sleep problems with F13. Would anything in the system log be of help?

As always thanks for your help and expertise.

Interesting, @CaseySJ do you have TPM enabled?

Are any of you experiencing intermittent kernel panics with this board? It happens just enough, that it is bothersome. If I turn on my computer, and let it sit for some minutes before I get to it, it is often frozen.

I am running 11.6 with OC 0.7.4.

The first line in the system report is: Panic(CPU 0, time 68597775379): NMIPI for unresponsive processor: TLB flush timeout, TLB state:0x0

I am including the report below in the textfile.

Hi @CaseySJ and good morning! I got an idea, I still do a fresh installation, probably tomorrow or Sunday. Meantime, can you save your bios preset in to a file from the option "save profiles" in bios and share with us here?

@NCMacGuy

try to enable erp in bios and set legacy usb to auto in bios.

I also had problem with sleep/wake problem my hack was tripping down and shuts down when i sleep it.

Now it sleeps ok. except one issue. when thunderbolt is not detected when its sleeps trips down. when thunderbolt is detected it sleeps properly.

I tried your suggestions too but nothing changes. For wake on Lan settings do you use it enabled or disabled in bios? And your preferences settings?

I enabled ErP, set Leagacy USB to Auto in BIOS along with the standard settings from Post #1. (Wake on LAN is Enabled by default.) NO checkboxes in System Preferences -> Energy Saver are selected.

Sleep still doesn't work for me with BIOS F13, OC 0.7.4, Big Sur 11.6. (Didn't try Monterey.)

Since CaseySJ has sleep working, I hope he will share his saved BIOS settings file for us to try.

Certainly — will post my BIOS setup file soon.

Just to confirm: With BIOS F10 (and no other changes) the system sleeps and wakes properly?

Quick test: If you open System Preferences —> Energy Saver, then select “Schedule…” and enable the “Sleep” checkbox and click OK, will the system sleep from the Apple Menu —> Sleep option?

Interesting, @CaseySJ do you have TPM enabled?

Correct — I have enabled TPM and installed Windows 11 on this system.

All,

Attached is my BIOS F13 profile.
