[Success] - Asus ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming + i9 10900K + OpenCore

thanks for the reply, my cpu is not with F (without integrated graphics), so i can change it but sorry for my ignorance, how i can do it in the config.plist?

Change the BIOS setting to use the iGPU. Scope is using an AMD graphics card and not the iGPU.

Change the BIOS setting to use the iGPU. Scope is using an AMD graphics card and not the iGPU.

Actually I use BOTH. The AMD drives my main monitor, and the iGPU drives my 2 auxiliary 1080p Asus monitors. I run an HDMI cable from the AMD to the main monitor, and a DP cable from the 3080 Ti to the main monitor, this way I just switch inputs on the main monitor to switch between Win11 and macOS. The iGPU works under both operating systems so no need to change inputs on either aux monitor.

I tried to do as you said with cpu graphics and igpu disabled, the result was that the boot does not start without igpu enabled, but I kept the cpu graphics by connecting it to the video output of the motherboard, the result does not change from the previous problem I had described. so as it says scope666 is not a graphical prob, there must be something preventing it from installing correctly, maybe a command to be given in boot args? or driver to import?

You need to either disable the PCI-e RTX3080 in BIOS and enable the iGPU with a minimum of 64MB DVMT, or you can use the Whatevergreen.kext command-line "-wegnoegpu".

Then, if you are using the config.plist from the supplied EFI folder, the iGPU should work when you connect your monitor to the motherboard as it has the DeviceProperties necessary.

It is possible that you will need to change the ig-platform-id from 07009B3E to 00009B3E as you are using a different CPU. But try the original first and see.

ok so the result is the following: I tried several combinations after the one you suggested to do, obtaining a fail boot, or crash a random, keeping the bios settings as per your suggestion, and reviewing the whole configuration comparing with the suggestions from opencore for cpu cometlake, and keeping ig-platform-id without changing it (07009B3E) with boot args: dk.e1000 = 0 (otherwise it crashes randomly) -v debug0x100 keepsyms = 1, I was able to get the best stable result , but having the problem again after "about 12 minutes remaing", at this point the white writing comes out quickly and it restarts, not completing the installation. sorry if i'm stressing you out, i feel unlucky despite having the same pc machine, if not similar.

I have forget leave this file log that maybe you can understand what don't work properly.

No one is getting stressed out.

So what did you do about the RTX 3080 ?

 

[MacDivanz]

my rtx 3080 is completely ignored by the pc, the display port cable is connected directly to the asus motherboard using cpu graphics. This has improved stability and performance, but it didn't solve the next problem, after reading other users it seems to have the same problem as me, and it seems to be related to the nvram or ssd in which I am going to install, and this is of interest to Big sur and Monterey, I didn't quite understand how to solve this problem, however I'm not the only one. So I was trying to figure out now what to do, or what to try.

That is not what I asked...

Did you disable it in BIOS, use the whatevergreen command line or a custom SSDT ?

Clearly the EFI works and your motherboard is the same. Off-site problems are not relevant here, unless you have read about them here.

NVRAM is easy on the motherboard. What type of SSD are you using ?
