    [Success] ASUS ROG Strix Z490-G + i7-10700K + RX 580 + OC [now runs 12.3.1]

    I just wanted to follow up with another success report. I have Big Sur 11.1 running on my system which uses the same motherboard as the OP's. I followed Dortania's guide and used Opencore 0.6.4 and most things went smoothly. I only had one hitch during the initial install which was getting...

    [Success] - Asus ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming + i9 10900K + OpenCore

    Is Unibeast still applicable? I have yet to do a Z490 install but I have been reading the Dortania guide (my understanding is that 10th gen Intel hacks have to be done via OpenCore) and I don't remember seeing Unibeast as a tool to use there.

    Mac Pro Case Mod / Z490 VISION G / I7/ Catalina 10.15.7

    Ok, nice case mod. But that workshop... WOW!

    Open Frame i9-9900t system with High Sierra

    Nice. Often times building them is the fun part and that looks like you had fun. I'm curious about the PSU. Is that an SFX unit taken apart or something else?

    Compatibility video card

    The "Not Compatible" message from the Nvidia web driver might mean it's not compatible with your OS or it might mean it's not compatible with your graphics card. It looks like you have the correct version matching the OS per the previous posting in this thread. But your picture shows the...

    Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

    As Higgie mentioned, the cooler included with the Intel CPU is hot garbage. Just remove it carefully and there shouldn't be any issues. Only thing to note is you will want to thoroughly wipe away any residue of the thermal gunk that came pre-applied to the Intel cooler. Chances are some of it...

    << Solved >> iOS Simulator not booting any device / Photos app crashing

    I am still more than a month away from starting my build (still researching and waiting for the end-of-year sales), but here is a thread I bookmarked which mentions getting the HDMI working from the iGPU...

    i9-10900K Build Discussion

    I am still researching a build but the general consensus had been that you couldn't just use the iGPU with 10th gen. You need a dGPU for everything to work. However, I am seeing a few recent mentions of success with just iGPU by setting the device-id. Linking them here in case they help you...

    << Solved >> iOS Simulator not booting any device / Photos app crashing

    So you are running two monitors off the iGPU? Sweet. Are they running off the HDMI and Displayport or via Thunderbolt?

    i5 10400 Catalina advice please. Nvme boot etc.

    I am in the same boat regarding spending a lot of money on a graphics card since my future hack won't be used for anything that requires more than what the iGPU can handle. But if you follow AMD you should know they are expected to announce their 6000-series in less than a week (Oct 28). So at...

    Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

    If your RAM is suspect, I strongly recommend downloading memtest86 onto a USB stick and booting from that to run a full test. Either the memory is bad and you won't be able to rely on the computer for anything until it is replaced, or it's fine and then you've eliminated one possibility so you...

    [Success] ASUS ROG Strix Z490-G + i7-10700K + RX 580 + OC [now runs 12.3.1]

    Thanks for the info. I think I can live with that behavior, since my system will be on most of the time plus I also have a Macbook and an iPhone to round out any missing SMS or other messages. PS: I love the names of your machines :)

    Z490 i9-10900 Build Issues

    I have yet to go through the OpenCore install process myself, but from what I've been reading it's not bad. Clover was a bit more black-box and dependent on finding the right files to copy from someone who has your exact same build. OpenCore seems to require a lot more manual configuration...

    Z490 i9-10900 Build Issues

    I thought Clover simply didn't work with Z490/10th Gen CPUs. That's why people have been using OpenCore for these newer CPUs. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/gigabyte-z490-vision-d-thunderbolt-3-i5-10400-amd-rx-580.298642/...

    [Success] ASUS ROG Strix Z490-G + i7-10700K + RX 580 + OC [now runs 12.3.1]

    Thanks for sharing your build. I am considering the same motherboard for my last Intel hack as well. Could you elaborate on the iMessage problem? You said it doesn't load all messages... is that when your machine is off/sleeping and wakes up? Or does it not receive some while it's up and...
