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

@CaseySJ

Updated to OC 0.7.6 without issue as usual with your excellent instructions. (I manually update files.)

Things to Test or Check:
  • Any OCS or other warnings before OpenCore picker appears? No warnings
  • Does macOS boot properly? Yes - both Big Sur 11.6.1 and Monterey 12.0.1
  • Does Bluetooth work? Can you enable and disable Bluetooth? Fenvi-T919 no problem
  • Does Bluetooth work if you (a) boot into Windows and then (b) boot into macOS without doing a cold start? Yes
  • If you use "Resizable BAR Support" in Windows, try enabling that in BIOS and check if macOS boots properly. Don't Use

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

@Inqnuam

When using OpenCore Configurator I have noticed problems when editing config.plist files when more than one EFI is mounted. When I think I'm editing and saving one config.plist file, the edits can and do appear in the other config.plist. This used to drive me crazy thinking I was doing something wrong. As CaseySJ warned, I'm very cautious about having more than one EFI mounted if I'm editing a config.plist file.
 
Looking for some advice on the best way to configure the display on the z390 Designare with a RX580. I’m currently running a DisplayPort cable from the RX580 to the DisplayPort In port on the motherboard. I’m then running a USB C cable from the Thunderbolt port to the LG27UK850 monitor. All of this is working fine.

What I’d like to do is connect to a dual DisplayPort KVM. Would the best approach be a USB C to DisplayPort cable from the motherboard to the KVM or should I be running a DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable from the RX580 to the KVM?

If the KVM has DisplayPort video inputs then I would suggest a direct DP-to-DP connection between the RX580 and KVM. Always good to simplify the cable routing whenever possible.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who experienced this! I thought I was going crazy. Nowadays, I always rename the config.plist’s if I’m going to have multiple open, then rename the one in use back to config.plist

I lost a month during HackinDROM development to figure it out, that's why I decided to mount EFIs with different names

Is it worth keeping the DP In to the motherboard as well or does that only benefit if you’re passing video through the thunderbolt port?

This is why HackinDROM renames each EFI partition that it mounts. If you use HackinDROM itself to unmount the partition, it will change the name back to "EFI". But I never do that. Once the EFI partitions have been renamed, I leave them like that. My sanity has been saved because of it.

Thank you for renaming every single gosh-darn EFI partition when you mount it. :)

Even other Mac applications such as BBEdit will get all confused when multiple EFI partitions with the same name are mounted.

If your monitor has a USB-C video port or a Thunderbolt port, then (and only then) it makes sense to pass video through the DP-In port on the rear IO panel.
