As described in the Z690 Aero G post, setting “Aperture Size” from 256 to 1024 solved sleep issues for me. “Resizable Bar” can remain enabled. Fantastic.

Fro From what I gathered, this “second sleep - freeze - high fanspeed” has to do with “Above 4G Decoding” and “Resizable Bar”. The same has been introduced to Z690 after a certain BIOS revision. I have the same problem, so I will check if it works with these options disabled. I wish some...

Yes, I agree in principle. The AMD chips are superior in many regards - However, the AMD platform is not better in all aspects. Users are also plagued with stability issues and early adopter oddities. Also, we’re on a macOS-focussed forum here, and from what I gathered, Intel simply has the...

Built a new system just now, have not touched macOS on this one yet, as I was still tinkering with optimization and stability on Microsoft Windows. My 14900K on Z790 Aero G, with Noctua U12A and Thermalright CPU frame, thermal throttles on Windows after 10-15 seconds on stock settings. I have...

I can confirm the update to macOS Big Sur 11.3 went flawlessly using the latest EFI bundle.

I tried out these voltage settings suggested in the guide and it crashes my system in Windows. Setting the Calibration from Low to Medium keeps the system stable, but I still get self-test errors in Prime95. I have a 10850K and this system really annoys me in Windows. I do not understand how...

Thanks a lot, CaseySJ! This did the trick! By the way, I have just installed a new copy of macOS 10.15.7 Catalina. The system is less glitchy overall than Big Sur with the 5700 XT. At boot, however, my screen often does not get detected. However, it is not such a fatal black screen as before...

@CaseySJ Is there a new version for the "SSDT-GPRW.aml" : "Disable wake from USB/Bluetooth; wake only with power button" ? I activated the one from the OC161 bundle in the OpenCore config, but USB keypresses still wake the system, unfortunately. Would be very cool! I only had it working on the...

I installed the Public Beta! It is not my fault when Apple's public beta updater offers me updates from a different update channel! I have read online that it happens somehow and that people get confused. It certainly has never happened to me before, but on Big Sur it did. I am not kidding you...

Do not get the 10900 non-K! You should be able to find a 10850K in stock for around $400. It is nearly identical to the 10900K. But the non-K will be slower. EDIT : Benchmarks here :

- Updated straight to latest F5 Bios - Followed your awesome guide - CFG Unlocked - Apple Cinema HD Display 30“ - attached via Apple Dual-Link-DVI to miniDisplayPort via DisplayPort to miniDisplayPort adapter And no, changing monitors does not change anything (Tried modern 4K display via...

Alright, I have now installed the Z490 Vision D into my computer. However, I still get black screen when I boot into Catalina 10.15.6 installer... Prepared a USB stick according to the instructions in the thread. So, blackscreen issue is not related to motherboard choice. Oddly enough, I am...

Yes. I also have a Z490 Vision G and installed a Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Pulse. I am currently troubleshooting these problems with the help of some wonderful people on this forum. However, I have ordered a Vision D motherboard for testing and will report if the situation is motherboard...

Hi there! I reset my BOPS and NVRAM. Loaded Optimal Defaults. However, still black screen at least once when I booted. Really strange. WhateverGreen is definitely loaded according to kextstat. So, now I have ordered a Z490 Vision D from Amazon for testing purposes and will report once it...

Very interesting! I will try to reset my NVRAM and go through the steps you've mentioned again. Thank you for sharing your experience with this card. I think I will keep it and hope for the best.
