Gigabyte Z690 Aero G + i5-12600K + AMD RX 6800 XT

Regarding USB ports, HS02 and HS04 are not working. These are the rear ports. Legacy USB support is disabled in BIOS as was mentioned on the first page. Would that cause USB 2.0 not to work? My understanding is it shouldn't.

Regarding AirDrop, I have everyone enabled. I'm having an issue where Bluetooth disconnects after about 20 seconds. Since the M.2 card is supposed to be native, I've read elsewhere that you don't need any patches. I have BlueToolFixup.kext, BrcmFirmwareData.kext, and BrcmPatchRAM3.kext enabled. I wonder if that is causing a conflict. Should I remove those? And if I do, is there a guide on how to do that?

@CaseySJ I had the same issue for airdrop. I am using BCM94360NG, the airdrop can found my macbook pro and iphone, but the found devices will disappear about every 10 seconds, also the airdrop of this device cannot be discovered even allowed everyone to discover.

Updates: Issue fixed according to your reply. Thanks!
disable BlueToolFixup.kext fixed the issue

BrcmFirmwareData.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext these two should also disabled (already disabled in CaseySJ's EFI).

You may also disable BlueToolFixup.kext. Seems I was mistaken earlier regarding this kernel extension.

Unchecking that fixed the Bluetooth issue. Airdrop works both ways, and I am able to maintain a connection longer than 15 seconds. Thank you.

The only issues now are controlling volume via keyboard with a speaker connected to SPDIF and rear USB 2.0 ports working. The speaker I have is bluetooth capable. If I connect that way, I can control the volume. I have a remote so it's a small workaround. And I tried enableing legacy USB support in the BIOS but that didn't work. Maybe it's an F6 BIOS issue. Either way not a huge deal either.

Are you also using the Broadcom BCM94360NG M.2 WiFi/BT module?

Anyway, I'll add a new entry in Troubleshooting / FAQs (post 1) to suggest disabling all three Bluetooth kexts if problems are found.

Update: Done.

GC-Titan Ridge is strongly recommended over Maple Ridge!!

Only the on-board Maple Ridge of Asus Z690 ProArt Creator is working extremely well. On Gigabyte Aero G, you will be very disappointed with GC-Maple Ridge!

Buyer beware.

Thanks for the clarification.

For Maple Ridge Thunderbolt hot plug support, please try the attached SSDT. No ACPI renames are needed (_PTS to XPTS should be unchecked or removed). SSDT-DTPG is still needed.

This SSDT expects Thunderbolt on RP05, but we can change the Root Port (RP) to something else if needed.

Booted with V2 SSDT and disabled Change _PTS to XPTS patch with SSDT-DTPG enabled.

Only connects on cold boot and no hot-plug. Attached I/O showing RP05.

One more updates, I used Apple migration assitant to transferred all of my files from my macbook pro to Z690 Aero G.
Some suggestions:
1. Please do not Migration Assistant on WIFI, which is very unstable;
2. Ethernet cable can be used to migration, but make sure your MacBook is connected the power supply;
3. Make a Time Machine backup to a SSD, and connected the SSD to the new machine. Then using Migration Assistant, this one is much faster if your new machine does not have Thunderbolt. (Make sure connection is stable. I used a brand new SN850 to make a Time Machine backup, but disconnected accidentally which caused the drive dead!).
4. If you have some weird issue after the migration on the new machine, you can try reset NVRAM.

I've fully assembled the Asus Z690 ProArt Creator WiFi using an old NZXT X62 liquid cooler with LGA1700 bracket.

from where did you get the nzxt lga 1700 bracket? Did you get it from nzxt customer service? I’m trying to get one for alder lake / Raptor lake.
