@canyondust Did you ever get hot swap to work on your system? I have the same board as you and I haven't got it to work. Thanks!

Hey @excelon, I've been following this thread because I have the same issue. I researched it on my own, even got in touch with Gigabyte, and found that my Gigabyte board is just made to have an extremely long boot time. I have the x99 Designare EX which is obviously different from yours and the...

@iphillips77, this is great! This is the missing piece that saved me. I kept going back and forth attempting Toleda's guide and then trying this kext fix, but couldn't get DisplayPort audio back in High Sierra after update. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Hi Toleda, Thanks in advance. Had DisplayPort Audio working on Sierra, but updated to High Sierra and I couldn't get it back with your guid. 1. Displayport audio not listed in System Prefs/Audio 2. 10.13.6/Gigabyte GA-X99-Designare EX/Bios F5c 3.cloverALC patch

I'm having the same problem on my 2nd hack - GA-Z170X-UD5 TH with TPlink from the buyers guide. Any solution yet?

This was it! Thanks a lot! I didn't know what I was looking at in the ioreg so I wasn't sure what a complete ID would look like. Now booting from the nvme and all's well again.

Sorry about that, fixed _DSM->XDSM patch. Also got the ACPI/origin by pressing f4 and installed the correct version of ioregExplorer. New files attached. Thank you!

Thanks for the guide RehabMan! I just updated my third hack from a sata SSD to a 960 PRO nvme. I followed your guide, but on boot I get a kp. I am thinking I might have the acpi path off. Since I don't have windows, I used ioreg on the mac side while my old sata SSD was in. Any help is greatly...

After being stuck like you @arkmay_arsonspay, I bought the innateck KT4006 as well. It worked great! Unlike the onboard headers, it works on power up like it should without disconnecting and reconnecting. Thanks for posting your solution as it helped me out! Using this Innateck...

Another option is USB 3.1... I have that enabled on my system but haven't been able to test it yet as there really aren't any deices for it yet. It supposedly works through the TB3 connector as well as a dedicated USB type A connector. But if Areca, Promise and others like them start making USB...

Having the same problem on x99 designare ex with a startech multi-card reader. Called gigabyte and they said to try enabling ERP in the BIOS. That worked for a few reboots and then nothing. Back to the drawing board...

I experienced this too. The other's are right, it's because of your software RAID. You CAN save the info on your raid, just follow my guide here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/clover-crashing-on-scanning-entries-because-of-software-raid.176173/page-7#post-1290234 This is the thread that...

Hey @beronium, the x99 chipset isn't for the faint of heart. The GA-x99-Designare-EX is particularly tricky imho because of all the extra goodies (TB and extra PCIEx16 lanes). But if you follow this guide...

This worked for me! Thanks @Glnk2012 !

Nevermind, @bkzdrpapi answered my question on this thread here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-gigabyte-x99-ga-x99-designare-ex-i7-6950x.214481/page-2#post-1473406 For anyone else struggling to get Thunderbolt 3 on an x99 Gigabyte board, you should check it out. I had to follow...
