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

[CaseySJ]

This is the only issue remaining right now. I am using OpenCore 0.7.4.....any advice on this, @CaseySJ?

What is the model name/number of your Samsung monitor? Does it support DisplayPort in addition to HDMI?

Hello @Studiomaca,

Welcome to the forum!

Your Clover configuration seems a bit old and exhibits some issues such as:

• Two Thunderbolt SSDTs both point to RP21. This is not valid. One of them will fail to load -- maybe the wrong one will load?
• Loading its own DSDT. This is deprecated.
• SSDT-UIAC.aml for USBInjectAll, but using USBPorts.kext instead.
• Loading SSDT-6-A M I.aml, which we should not do. That is part of the system itself and defines USB port capabilities and locations (UPC and PLD methods).
• Several kernel patches without descriptions, perhaps for USB port limit.

Have you considered switching to OpenCore instead?

If so, I can convert your Clover configuration to OpenCore and send you a new EFI folder to try out.

Which version of macOS are you running?

I’m sorta in a similar boat. I got VTD showing up in IOReg, replaced the SSDT-DMAR table. However now the Antelope device is not recognized via Thunderbolt. I’m on Clover running Mojave 10.14.7, was wondering if there’s any solution here?

EDIT: Got the interface showing up in system report again. However it still isn’t being noticed by Antelope launcher. Everything works fine on my MacBook Pro.

EDIT2: Got it recognized finally, now just need to get hot plugging to work

Model number is LC27F591FDWXXL. It has a DP in port, but I don't know the DP version.

hai @CaseySJ , Just a small advice from you would be appreciated.

I have a system with specs:

Mobo : Gigabyte B360M D3H
Processor : Intel i5 8th gen 8400
Graphics : ASUS GT 710 2GB - GK208 variant
SSD : CRUCIAL Bx500 1.7A 256GB
Ram : ADATA 16GB 2666Mhz and Crucial 16GB 2666Mhz
PSU : Corsair VS550

Currently the machine is running Mojave 10.14.6, Clover 2.5k 5100

Can you please point me to a guide for Switching Clover to Opencore and also for upgrading the OS....

@CaseySJ

I was actually checking in to ask pretty much the same. I've been stable on Mojave(18G9323)/Clover(5119) for ages but would like to move to Monterey.

My system is closer to the spec of this thread:

Mobo: Gigabyte Designare Z390
Processor: Core i9 9900K
Graphics: Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB

Dual SSD/64GB RAM/etc.

If you have any general advice or a mini-guide to upgrading to a stable more current environment it would be appreciated.

I am so grateful for what you have done in this thread so far, this has been an amazing build.

Thanks!

I've created a Clover-to-OpenCore transition guide for Z390 Designare (click here), but the OpenCore EFI it refers to will not work on the B360M D3H. My recommendation would be to follow that guide, but make necessary changes for your motherboard.

To create an OpenCore EFI from scratch, the "reference" guide is located here:

Hello @Tea-Bone,

Because you're using Z390 Designare, this guide applies:

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

The Hackintosh plugins are all in the OpenCore 0.6.2 update zip that CaseySJ made or you can just download them individually on Github. I have reinstalled fxfactorty version 7.1.7.. the spinning ball issue is still there in fcp title tab and sometimes in os also..it is annoying. Clover is my...

www.tonymacx86.com

But after configuring OpenCore per the guide, set SecureBootModel to Disabled. Mojave will not boot otherwise. Once Monterey has been fully installed, we can change SecureBootModel to Default or leave it disabled.

** OpenCore 0.7.6 EFI for Z390 Designare **
Supports Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, and Monterey
Please do not quote this post in its entirely. Use a link instead.

Also available from HackinDROM

** NOTE **
Mojave and Catalina Users: Please see "Post-Update Procedure" below.

Please use OpenCore Configurator 2.54.0.0 or 2.54.0.1 and ensure that it's set to
0.7.6 Development Configuration or 0.7.6 Release Version

When using OpenCore Configurator, ensure that only one EFI partition is mounted​

Windows Users:
If you are unable to boot Windows through OpenCore, try disabling AppleVTD by following the bottom half of this post.

Monterey -- What Does Not Work:

• Intel I-211 Ethernet port driven by SmallTreeIntel82576 is not working at this time. The other Ethernet port (I-219) is fully operational. If a second Ethernet port is needed, options include:
  • USB to Gigabit Ethernet adapter
  • USB to 2.5GbE Ethernet adapter
  • USB-C dock with built-in Ethernet port
  • Thunderbolt dock with built-in Ethernet port
  • Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter (requires AppleVTD to be enabled)
• Laird BT851 Bluetooth 5.0 USB dongle not working at this time.
• If Monterey is installed on Samsung NVMe SSDs, boot time can increase by 60-100 seconds due to "trim" incompatibilty.
  • This can be addressed by cloning the Samsung NVMe SSD to another disk, erasing the Samsung NVMe SSD with Disk Utility, and cloning macOS back. Please be careful with this process if you decide to do it.
• Crucial P2 NVMe SSDs (only P2 series) also suffer from trim issues in Monterey.

This Update Includes:

• OpenCore 0.7.6
• VirtualSMC 1.2.8
• AppleALC 1.6.7
• Lilu 1.5.8
• OpenIntelWireless ZIP:
  • IntelBluetoothFirmware 2.0.1
  • IntelBluetoothInjector 2.0.1 (not used in Monterey)

Instructions:

• Download appropriate ZIP file below and follow these instructions to configure config.plist.
• If "Resizable BAR Support" is enabled in BIOS, set ResizableAppleGpuBars to 0 in Booter quirks.
• Copy EFI folder to EFI partition of USB flash disk and boot from USB flash disk.
• Ensure that REL-076-xxx appears on bottom right corner of OpenCanopy Picker.
• If everything is okay, mount the EFI partition of USB flash disk and internal macOS SSD, then copy EFI folder from USB flash disk to internal macOS SSD.

Things to Test or Check:

• Any OCS or other warnings before OpenCore picker appears?​
• Does macOS boot properly?​
• Does Bluetooth work? Can you enable and disable Bluetooth?​
• Does Bluetooth work if you (a) boot into Windows and then (b) boot into macOS without doing a cold start?​
• If you use "Resizable BAR Support" in Windows, try enabling that in BIOS and check if macOS boots properly.​

Catalina Users:

• Set SecureBootModel to Disabled.
  

Which File to Download:

• Broadcom WiFi/BT (such as Fenvi FV-T919) --> OC-076-DESIGNARE-Z390.zip
• Intel WiFi/BT --> OC-076-DESIGNARE-Z390-INTEL-WIRELESS.zip

Reminder:

• Radeon VII and Vega 56/64 users must disable or remove boot argument agdpmod=pikera.

Updates:

• 06-Dec-2021: First version

Thank you so much, will try that

Have you noticed that weird macOS issue when multiple EFIs are mounted?
