@Compman2018, thx for the detailed response. Very, very helpful. I'm going to try again over the next couple of weeks comparing your EFI to mine. I wish I had replaced the m.2 wifi and BT card during the build. I bet removing it will help me, just means I can't use my machine while it's...

Hi, @Compman2018, did you remove the Aorus Gaming 5 onboard Bluetooth in your hack and install a bluetooth card instead? The reason I ask is that I have very similar hardware, but now a i9900KF and Radeon RX Vega 56, and I cannot upgrade to Monterey from Big Sur 11.6.1. I'm on Clover r5146...

Ok, I thought I could add back audio with alcid. Will try disabling Wifi and BT in BIOS and try again this afternoon. Thx again.

I ended up trying it again three times more from USB installer with Clover boot loader 5144 and those config changes, including iMacPro1,1. Failed the first time at about 12 minutes. Then I just ran it again and it got a bit further along before crapping out again. Then I rebooted the system...

Thanks for the clarification. Do I also change the Custom UUID on the System Parameters tab?

The gaming 5 has onboard wifi (Intel® 1x1 802.11ac Wireless – AC 3165) which I don't use in my Big Sur build--just ethernet. No bluetooth extra card or included on motherboard. Want to make sure about the Clover config.plist changes, so have attached screenshots to verify which settings I'm...

Thanks for your suggestions. You are right about the USB fix, I forgot to include my USB ports kext that I created with the guide on this site. All my ports seem to work pretty well, though the rear USB 3.1 Gen2 USBC and A ports do not show in Hackintool, but work fine at high speed. I'm...

I could use some help upgrading to Monterey. My hack is based on @pastrychef's build, but with a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5 mobo and a 9900KF cpu (no internal graphics, recently swapped from an 8700K). I'm on Big Sur 11.6.1 using Clover 5144 with a MacPro6,1 SMBIOS, booting off of a Samsung 970...

No, it worked right out of the box, which is something that is worth paying a bit extra for.

I wanted to recommend a PCIe card that works in Mojave and Big Sur which supports 4 eSATA ports and port multiplier enclosures for up to 20 connected drives: Ableconn PEX-SA134 4-Port card It wasn't cheap ($134), but it seems reliable. I'm able to hot swap drives in my SeriTek/2eEN4 4-bay...

@aftamohd Can you explain a bit explicitly your process for migrating to OC from Clover and updating to Big Sur? I'm on Clover v5119 and Mojave on an Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 with a 8700K and Radeon Vega 56 which works great. I'm assuming that I need to first convert my Clover to Open Core, make sure...

Thanks for that info. Saves me a lot of time. I wish I could "buy you a cup of coffee or a beer," but I realize it is not allowed, so will make a TonyMac donation in your name for great community support here.

Thanks for confirming about CSM. And I did see the note about some USB ports being disabled. Just wondered if you knew off the top of your head which ones were disabled. I found that USB port tutorial and will try it out to actually map out which ports I want to prioritize. Thank you so much for...

It may have been USB related, but I realized that my original clone to the 970 EVO hadn't completed successfully, and after I redid that, downloaded your latest EFI for Clover folder with the added SSDT, and updated the IDs, pretty much everything worked. Amazing! Thank you, @pastrychef! To...

Thanks for your help. That made it POST and boot into Clover and my OSX install--for the first time--but then it crashed with the attached screenshot.
