    Upgrading GPU RX580 to RX6600XT

    Yeah That is the source I read about the boot-arg flag. All the NAVI cards need that flag. Just making sure that there isnt' anything else I should or need to do. Yeah it does work well. Great card, but the 6600XT has a ton more horse power and wanted a better card to get higher performance...

    Request expert to help for Upgrade to Monterey.

    One thing if you are thinking of getting another RX580 card if that one indeed isn't supported, it will either be used or new in box, and the new will probably cost similar or more than what a RX6000 model card will be. Though there are also plenty on ebay as well. I have had this card since...

    Upgrading GPU RX580 to RX6600XT

    I have an upgrade at GPU coming in this week and will be upgrading my RX580 to a RX6600XT and want to make sure all I need to do is update the boot-args to include "agdpmod=pikera". Everything I have found that should be the only change I need to make for the GPU. Just upgraded my i3-8100 to an...

    Request expert to help for Upgrade to Monterey.

    I didn't do anything special for the video card actually. I just used the main opencore documentation page and had some questions on here to mainly get my USB squared away once I was able to get it booted at all. You can look through the thread I made for the monterey install and new to OC...

    Request expert to help for Upgrade to Monterey.

    Sure anything to help out. I am currently running Monterey, did a fresh install of it when I moved away from Clover. Getting ready to prepare things for Ventura, but not really in a hurry. Everything is in my signature. But here it is as well MSI Z370 Gaming Plus i3 8100 Sapphire RX 580...

    Request expert to help for Upgrade to Monterey.

    That is the exact card I have and it is a great video card, though now may be more expensive to find unless used. Depending on what you want to spend, you can find a RX6600 for about 239, which is about what I paid for my RX580 about 4 years ago. What BIOS loader are you using? I had High...

    Upgrading i3-8300 to i9-9900k

    I am planning on upgrading the processor on my MSI Z370 Gaming Plus from an i3-8300 gen to i9-9900k. Are there any concerns I need to consider with my existing open core setup? Nothing else is changing

    << Solved >> Do the Samsung 970 EVO Plus drives work ? New Firmware Available 2B2QEXM7

    I have my Monterey install running on a 970EVO M2 and don't notice any issues. Is there something I can do to see ? I have been running on OpenCore and Monterey since about May.

    Migrating to OC

    Yeah that is what I meant I didn't realize you click on them, so I did open them up. Same contents that are in the source files zip file as well. But the contents there don't really show what each layout consists of, minus the few towards the top that people added the description. Be nice to...

    Migrating to OC

    Yeah I used that page to set my layout to 1 since it is the first mentioned for ALC892. Ahhh, you can look at the contents by clicking on the Driver. Never clicked just read the table. Good to know. Thanks! Why did you pick 100? Because your board was explicitly defined? Guess you have...

    Migrating to OC

    I will have to look at that later on to see if there is one for Gaming Pro. I looked at both of our boards and they are almost identical. Main difference I saw was you are using Realtek Ethernet and I have an Intel 1219. Seemed like most everything was the same. Where do you get the text...

    Monterey 12.4 USB3 not working or discovered

    I have a related end result with my recent Monterey install. Finally got everything working well enough. I lost 2 USB2 Virtual ports on 2 of the 6 USB3 ports, so not really a biggy. However, all my USB3 devices work fine, just two of the USB3 ports don't support USB2, which is fine. Have...

    Migrating to OC

    Yeah I am not even worried about it as my USB2 devices are covered with everything else. My two front ports are USB2/3 as well. So I have 6 USB3 ports (4 that support USB2), and then the two USB2 on the back up highest work for my mouse and my keyboard. I think my audio misunderstanding is...

    Migrating to OC

    It is the two middle rear USB ports. Doesn't look yours has the USB2 version of the two rear middles defined either. As I said, it isn't that big of a deal as it is just two ports, and all the others support the couple USB2 devices I have. Appreciate all the help Edhawk! Will still look at...

    Migrating to OC

    Well not that worried about it if my only issue is usb2 devices on two of the usb3 ports. Maybe some other day will look at it, but think it is a minor inconvenience. Thanks for the information!
