Wow thanks for all that. It works now. A note for anyone that may see this in the future, after installing the AIC my BIOS defaults though present did not match what is shown here. After doing the SSDT work I still had to change those BIOS settings to get it to start working.

I have often had display issues like that with various Hackintoshes, if you un/re plug the cable does the display come back? I realize that's not an ideal permanent solution, especially for a TV, but it might help you narrow down the problem. What I have done at times when I could not fix it...

Yes to be sure, I did not hotplug, each attempt I connected the drive when the Hackintosh was completely powered off. If I did a quick Windows install onto a new disk with my macOS disk removed, could that have any negative effects on my macOS? I remember reading about certain drivers...

Is there a guide or anything for Z490 Vision G + Thunderbolt add-in-card? I've been looking/asking for awhile but haven't found one. Today I decided to just install the add-in-card and see what happens and it doesn't work, which doesn't surprise me. I plugged in an external drive, tested on a...

Has anyone created a guide (posted instructions, anything) for adding Thunderbolt to a Vision G (NOT D) with the official Gigabyte Titan Ridge 2.0 add-in-card? On another site I found a general guide to enable Thunderbolt which supposedly applies to multiple cards but I don't know if it's a...

Is there any real difference between using iMac20,1 and iMac19,1? Is it possible one might cause more trouble with activating iServices?

Has anyone made instructions for Thuderbolt on a Vision G with the Titan Ridge 2.0 (unflashed) add in card? I've been searching but the word Thunderbolt comes up so often on the same page with Vision G when they are unrelated, and all I could find was a build for the Z590 G.

Yes those settings are OK, the behaviour was odd so I did some general hardware troubleshooting and it's possible the reboots had nothing to do with the installation process as I am now into the welcome portion of the macOS installation. Thanks for all your efforts here, and everyone in this...

I cannot get the verbose output during the time it reboots. I get verbose briefly but then the screen flashes and the Apple logo comes up and it's back to that, even if I hold CMD+V for the entire time. My BIOS is very old, F7 almost a year ago, but I didn't want to take a chance updating as I...

** OpenCore 0.7.1 EFI for Z490 Vision G, not D ** https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/gigabyte-z490-vision-d-thunderbolt-3-i5-10400-amd-rx-580.298642/page-659#post-2261922 Can this be used to install straight to 11.4? I tried to install 11.4 on a Vision G but I seemed to have a boot loop at...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I decided on the Gigabyte Z490 Vision G, but I am not fully committed as I can return it if I have problems. I looked at your build, awesome how much help you have provided for people. That motherboard is too high end for me but maybe I can still make use of...

That's what I've been looking at, I've definitely seen some that say it works, but most are using dGPU, so I'm not sure, although according to OpenCore tutorials it supposedly works. I've decided I definitely need to have DisplayPort, and to stick with Z490 since there's a lot more info out...

Out of these which is most compatible / has the least issues? GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS PRO AX GIGABYTE Z490 Gaming X GIGABYTE Z490 Vision G GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS Elite AC ASUS Prime Z490-P Gigabyte H470M DS3H ASUS PRIME H470M-PLUS/CSM I'll be putting an i7-10700 or possibly i5-10400 on it, probably a...

To get the onboard audio working in ML on my EP43-UD3L, I went here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/67763-ml-optimized-realtek-applehda-preview-alpha.html and installed the files from, 5. ML_AppleHDA-888Legacy-Alpha.zip using KextBeast I haven't tested it extensively, but the audio...

Just curious, isn't HDCP a problem? I would guess that during gameplay it's not, in general you would think that unless you're playing a video, it wouldn't matter. However, and I may be wrong here, but I could swear that when I tested my PS3 in the past with older monitors, HDCP was active...
