No problem on the late reply. I eventually figured it out using your initial map, which was REALLY helpful. I later did some research on using Linux (fairly fluent) and Windows, which was also very helpful, to map out the USB tree. Then after studying your map, I also realized that you mapped...

Thanks for the reply. I did get monitoring set up as you recommended and with my RX6800XT the temps run between 50-60 degrees C as that is the way the fan control is set up by default. I really liked your approach to doing the bios mod and injecting the PowerPlay string via opencore, I went...

I just finished an install of OpenCore 0.7.6/Monterey on a Gigabyte GA-Z490 Elite Motherboard with a Core i9 10850 and a Radeon RX6800XT. Got it all installed, USB ports prefectly mapped, and everything is working. I have noticed that the video card temps run hotter than I would expect. i...

milmber, great documentation. I finished a GA-Z490 Elite build with a RX6800XT in it about 10 days ago. Long time hackintosher (15+ years), but first shot at OpenCore, so it took a while. But, everything works ... I thought. Until I read your writeup and then realized, no the GPU fan does...

Sorry it didn't work out. I would keep plugging, though. Monterey works really well once you figure out the USBMap. :-)

Looks like a great link. That may get me a step closer to being able to do this on another hackintosh. Thanks.

Where does your install fail? If it fails very early, saying something like it cannot read the kernel, then for me that was the OpenHFsPlus.efi driver. That is the driver I assumed was the one I wanted, since it was included with the OpenCore 0.7.6 zip file. But I realized that what was...

First, HUGE thanks to the original poster on this thread for your hard work that allowed me to customize my own USB configuration. I would still like to know how you mapped this motherboard out initially and will continue to read on this until I figure it out. Your work removed a major barrier...

Monterey was actually fairly straightforward after I figured out two gotchas. Initially, I used the OpenHFsPlus.efi that came with the Opencore 0.7.6 zip file. It stalled very early on when it tried to load the kernel. I can't honestly remember which file I used on the others, but that was a...

Apparently what is broken is the USBInjectAll kext. Even though it is broken, I managed to get everything working on GA-Z170X-UD5, GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5, and GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 motherboards running Monterey. But, this particular motherboard (GA-Z490 Elite) is very different in what was detected...

First of all, thanks very much for the thorough writeup, excellent and thorough. I have just installed Monterey on this board with a i9-10850K processor and RX6800XT video card using opencore 7.6. Everything is working EXCEPT my USB ports. Your information, so far, has given me some insight to...

It's good to know that the simple substitution is a fix. As long as you haven't seen any degradation in performance, then that very well may be the better way. I am wondering why all of a sudden it changed? I use two other RX580 cards on a GA-Z170X-UD4 board and one on a GA-Z270X-Gaming 5...

I have been trying to hash this out on a Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming 5 motherboard, for which I have used a system definition of 17,1 for High Sierra and have a Pulse RX580 8Gb card that had worked just fine in 10.13.3. When I upgraded to 10.13.4, it initially worked until this past weekend I got it...

Did you applly the necessary patch? Mine got hosed also. BUT, this is a known issue. I added this code to my config.plist and everything worked fine. I added it at the end of all the port number increase patches and it worked. I assume you know to only copy between the code starting with...

I do some video encoding, so I was hoping the extra speed would be useful. Plus, I wanted to future proof these somewhat. I know video cards are crazy expensive right now due to the bitcoin miners buying up all the cards, but I want to keep these a few years, so I went on the faster side of...
