I've had my current build for 6 months or so. Still some kinks to iron out (sleep/wake, triple monitors won't all display on restart etc), but today... Chrome won't load on boot. Neither will Finder or System Preferences. So I go and investigate. Opening Finder: All the icons on the desktop...

Great! Good to know I'm going in the right direction. Though I doubt I'll get it sorted by tonight. One other thing - why scroll (not search) for XHC? It seems like It'd take forever to find all ports manually. I can only assume that the search function doesn't always show everything? A search...

Just to say that I missed out thanking you specifically @CaseySJ - without your help I'd probably have thrown in the towel and just bought an iMac! So THANK YOU! To your question - There's a couple of USB C ports (one on the front panel, one on the rear), neither of which work. They power an...

Just a quick update to say that it worked! I followed your guide and, with a little searching the thread for help... Specifically: The splitting of a wire from the Raspberry Pi to two pins on the SOIC8 clip was tricky - I ended up slicing a small hole in the Female to Female wire with a...

At this stage it's not likely that I'll re-flash the card, but who knows. One question - the recommended test clip you linked in this guide is out of stock - I assume this is the same thing - is it worth the extra compared to the low cost clip, given I only plan on using it this once?

Thanks! Will do. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero W hanging about somewhere from a failed PiHole experiment - hopefully that will work? I'll need to get the rest of the gear (clip, jumper wires) and then will report back. I bought the Titan Ridge card for ~$90, but it seems flashed versions go for...

Oh wow, evidence I'm a noob to all this! I honestly thought this was achievable through software - I think I must have gotten turned around by all the different guides. (And that this was mostly discussed over two years ago.) So thank you for your patience @CaseySJ! I wish I'd known and just...

@CaseySJ - I tried the Option 1: Web GUI Method from your guide using your HackinDROM tool and MaciASL (1.6.2) last night, but I must be missing something, since after a couple of reboots, Thunderbolt Port 7 isn't activated. Steps I took: • I selected 'Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge v1 or v2' from...

Oh, I think I may have just confused myself for no reason - The guide says the following: Become thoroughly familiar with the following posts: Procedure to flash Winbond chip It is labeled as "Winbond" and "W25Q80DVS" It contains a blue dot (do not modify the chip with the green dot) And...

Ah, crap. I have indeed heard of flashing the firmware - I definitely came across it on my various forum searches and so forth, but for some reason I didn't think it applied to me, or didn't twig that it was what was required to get Target Disk Mode working. Indeed, I've just realized that it...

Just to jump on and bump this thread - I have a Big Sur 11.6 / Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi / Intel Core i9-9900K / Radeon RX 590 System with a Titan Ridge 2.0 card. I've followed the steps in this thread (thanks for all the help!) and got to a point where the Titan Ridge card is recognised in both...

Thanks @trs96 for the advice - I agree re: how it's held up, I couldn't quite believe it had been that long since I'd built it! The only thing I'd ever had go bad was the SSD, and that was a simple RMA job. If I do go down the route of selling it, what do you think would be reasonable price to...

Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster. I've used these forums extensively to troubleshoot over the years, so a sincere thanks to the whole community. I realised recently that I built my current setup way back in 2011, and though it's been fantastic for everything I could throw at it...
