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

Hey Guys, Anyone on here have an Z690 Aero D latest EFI. I have sleep issues where my Hack sleeps but does not wake via USB, and, when I press the power button once to wake it, it reboots. Not sure if IOReg would help identify what I have on this system but my case is an iCue 5000T with commander core that is connected to an internal USB header, the front USB ports on the case is connected to the 2 x USB 3.2 headers at the front of the MB. Link of my case if it helps as well.

Have you seen NOTE 3 at the top of Post 1? Does the use of commander pro kext help?

I must have missed that, I will give that a try

Same result, sleeps okay but cannot wake from sleep, it reboots the complete PC

If you disconnect the Commander Pro, does it fix sleep/wake issues?

Removed all devices connected to internal USB and system still goes to sleep but cannot wake, press the power button once to wake and it does a reboot. No wake at all from usb keyboard/mouse.
 
CaseySJ, I want to post my Z790 Aero G build in a MacPro 5,1 case. Can you guide me on best practices so it is helpful for forum participants if they want to build a hack using the Z790 Aero G motherboard?

Getting a bit of an odd instability behavior. Machine "often" locks up, logs out, and I am able to log back in again immediately and get all my apps started etc. The strange part is neither RAM nor CPU is showing any signs of strain (monitoring with iStat menus) but GPU constantly shows high load. My specs:

- i5-12600KF
- 64GB 3200 CL16 RAM
- Sapphire Nitro RX 6600 XT

tl;dr - It appears that any video-intensive normal OS process can randomly result in full system freeze and OSX logout. System becomes unresponsive after some random click (an OSX notification, interacting with an HTML Canvas animation, using a WISYWIG like this forum's editor). I have quite a few apps running (a dozen or so) and 4+ browsers at any given time (Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Waterfox) which I use for different purposes. Recently switched from Brave to Waterfox to see if that would alleviate the issue, no dice. Also tried disabling hardware rendering across all browsers to see if that would help the issue, no change. On average system freezes 1-2x a day.

Generally, the only thing I can do to ease the problem is close some of the apps, particularly browsers with a lot of tabs/ windows open. It's understandable that my system load is heavy due to all the browser tabs (prolly no more than 100 total across all browsers) and that easing pressure would ease the issue, but with native OSX laptops it would never freeze, just performance became very degraded. I'm wondering if there is something settings wise I can augment to prevent the system from seizing up.

Attached is a screenshot of the system pressure on GPU in particular (ram hovers 20-30% usage and CPU 1-10%) which always has video memory practically maxxed out. I've thought maybe just upgrading the bottleneck to an RX 6900 XT may help, but still the freezing is concerning.

** Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge for Z690 Platform **
@Inqnuam has uploaded a Thunderbolt SSDT for Z690 that can be used with GC-Titan Ridge. This is available from the HackinDROM website. A unique Thunderbolt ID (UID) will be generated each time the file is downloaded to ensure there are no duplicated UIDs.

Select the option: Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge - Z690 Platform

Hello! Is there any way to adapt the GC-Alpine-Ridge (flashed or not) to the Z690 Platform? Thanks!
