Asus Z690 ProArt Creator WiFi (Thunderbolt 4) + i7-12700K + AMD RX 6800 XT

Hey, guys! There are good offers during Black Fridays for WD SN850X disks. Is it suitable for a Monterey/Ventura build or is it better to stay with SN850 (which costs significantly more)?

The SN850X series is compatible. But it may be a good idea to update to latest WD firmware:

I've installed the ME driver from here as suggested by ASUS but it didn't help to solve the front USB-C's problem. I think this drive only helps on Windows, I tried to find something that could talk about it on Mac but I couldn't find anything. I'm using the USB provided inside Hackidrom, and...

OK, and, if you disconnect the power cable from the motherboard excluding the fast charge, sleep&wake work?

Never worked. I just use my Thunderbolt 4 hub, with 3 downstream TB4 ports for USB-c purposes. And I ignore the front panel USB-c port.

So tempting…

LG UltraGear 27” 240Hz 4K (1440p) OLED coming soon…retail price $999

4K OLED coming soon

The YT guy said it's QHD 1440p not 4K. Will still look great on a 27" display though.

I'm waiting for an 27" OLED monitor (possibly 4K) since ... uhm... 5 years now? But I want something in the 1500$ range with HW calibration and LUT 3D at 16 bits... otherwise is useless. Please LG/ASUS make a miracle!

Oh you are right -- so disappointing. But wait, I just saved $999 Or did I?

But wait

I might buy one just for that LED lighting ! Purple goes great with Monterey.

Hi guys, first of all i want to thanks @CaseySJ and the community for this amazing work that helped me build my hackintosh. I'm new in the community so hi to all. The first time I accessed this build i had a bit of trouble getting the Thunderbolt ports working on Monterey. So I switched to Big Sur, and everything seemed to work pretty well. I would like to switch to Ventura, has anyone tested this yet? Works?

Welcome @Krader !
You may be forgotten for missing it in the 221 pages of this thread (and counting…) but the on-board Thunderbolt ports only work well with Big Sur, not with Monterey and Ventura. No solution has been found.
If you need Thunderbolt the advice is to use a Titan Ridge card. Maple Ridge has no support in macOS, and it shows.

Thunderbolt works for me in all the above OSes. What thunderbolt device are you testing with what controller chip does it have ?
