    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    So I have two Z390M Gaming builds. One I use as a PC and is a backup/test bench for hackintosh updates. This backup board is really squirrelly. If I place any PCIE card in Slots 2 or 3 the machine won't post. I'm gonna RMA the board. I just moved the 5700XT to my main rig and it doesn't throw...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    I get "The macOS installation couldn't be completed" when I try to either upgrade to Catalina over a mojave ssd or if I install clean Catalina to brand new SSD. My 5700XT card is installed. Thinking I have to pull it in order for it to install. Or is there something else that can be done...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    I've been having some issues with my board. Installing an esata PCIe card or an Aquantia AQ107 card in PCIe slots 4,3,2 and the machine will not post. As soon as I remove them it posts. Running f9l bios. I changed speeds of the PCIE lanes but didn't seem to matter. pulled battery, and reset...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Well, just found the answer and fix on this post of the thread. Adding igfxonln=1 fixed it. Didn't need this argument for the Mojave SSD. good to know!

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    What an incredible build guide! Thank you for all of your time on this pastrychef! I downloaded the EFI from post #1360 because I don't have a dGPU. It boots into my Mojave system fine and the screen is able to sleep and then wake backup. I'm only putting the screen to sleep. I've set it to 1...

    High Sierra native support for 10Gb ethernet

    I'm not sure about that card, but I didn't need to flash mine. Drivers are built in to mojave. You can update the firmware of the card though if it's the same chip. Check this page https://www.snbforums.com/threads/aquantia-aqc10x-firmware-update.56888/page-3

    High Sierra native support for 10Gb ethernet

    I update my Aquantia Gaming black card to 3.1.9.0 using a Windows box. It's working on two of my rigs, though it does disconnect every now and then so I'm still trying to iron that out. But is it even necessary to try and run it on 10.13.3 to have the OS flash it? Are there benefits? That said...

    [SUCCESS] jbarnette's Build - ASUS TUF Z390 M Gaming + i9-9900K + Sapphire RX Vega 64 8GB + 32GB RAM + MacOS 10.14.3 w/ USB3 working!

    Yes. I have 2 of the same board. I’ve been burned in the past having built a kick ass rig then try to find another board only to either not find the board anymore or to see it jump crazy in price. So I thought it would be smart to buy another one for a “just in case” scenario. Plus i got it for...

    [SUCCESS] jbarnette's Build - ASUS TUF Z390 M Gaming + i9-9900K + Sapphire RX Vega 64 8GB + 32GB RAM + MacOS 10.14.3 w/ USB3 working!

    I’ve got a back up Z390 M gaming board. If my current board craps the bed will my current EFI work without issue on the backup board provided I’ve got the same BIOS and settings? Will iMessage etc work fine because clover config file holds the serial/system def?

    I'm using Smbios19,1 (10.14.4 build 18E2034) with an i3-8100 and sleep is working correctly, but not Wake On Lan. Anybody tried getting that to work?

    [Solved] SATA cards reading external drives as INTERNAL

    ok. just fixed it. I ended up using this app Kext Updater to install a modified version of AppleAHCI called AppleAHCIPortHotplug.kext. Go to the tools section of the app. After reboot my ESATA drives are working! :) More on the extension here. I also disabled the Suki's patch as that's for 10.13.6

    [Solved] SATA cards reading external drives as INTERNAL

    @iomas This patch was working with 10.14.1, but I'm on 10.14.2 right now and it has broken. If I find a solution I'll post here.

    Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD

    I've got a 960 Evo in my Z97x-UD5H in a Lycom DT-120 the PCIe 16x slot and I'm getting 1500/1700 speeds. Profile of the machine is iMac 14,1. Drive is rated much higher. All my Sata ports are filled. I'd like to get the fastest speed possible out of this card, but not sure why it's not getting...

    Mac Pro 1.1 mATX Mod

    I have 3 Mac Pro hackintoshes. Two of them have this from Laserhive. Works really well, but I never use the eSata portion like I thought I would. I'm going to buy this usb 3 cable ($5) from newegg and try modding my third one with some JB Weld.
