Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

With the 11900K around the corner, the Gigbayte Vision-D should be compatible. I read that Thunderbolt 4 will be in the spec for the chip along with PCIe4, obviously. Althougth not fully stated, I assume the Vision-D will be PCIe4 capable. Will Thunderbolt be upgraded to Thunderbolt 4 as well? ie. is it worth the upgrade to the 11900K?
Good question.

Intel will be releasing a new chipset to go with Rocket Lake-S (11th gen) processors. However, Z490 chipset on the current Vision D will support 11th Gen processors.

Thunderbolt 4 will be part of the new chipset, which means a new motherboard will be needed for that.

I've watched a hackintosh build video from Snazzy Labs before. I'm pretty certain his build had a lot of things not working. I wouldn't recommend following his builds.
I've seen him admit, on his channel, that he would never use a hackintosh as his daily driver because they are just too unreliable. He mostly uses a very expensive 7,1 Mac Pro cheese grater for his video work.
 
Hi, all! I have just made Apple TV work on Big Sur 11.1.
My machine is Z490 Vision D with i7 -10700 and GPU AMD RX 5700 XT.
My machine is set to iMac 20,2.
I have OpenCore 064.
I updated from Catalina, and my Apple TV didn't work. So I did some research,
and I did this.

I opened the command line, and I paste line by line, and pushed enter
these are the commands:

defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDKE -bool YES
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDAVCEncode -bool YES
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDAVCDecode -bool YES
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDHEVCDecode -bool YES

After that Apple TV works.

I hope I help, but, before you do it, let some experienced users to answer my post. I don’t want to mess up your machine.
Thank you for sharing this!

I'll add this to Troubleshooting / FAQ in Post 1.
 
Well, Let me starting saying: @CaseySJ you rock man!
I followed by the letter your tutorial and I got this Hackintosh working in exact 22 minutes. I couldn't believe.
Very happy and humbled for your hard work towards the community. A BIG THANK YOU!

Because my knowledge about the OpenCore and all the new changes are limited, I have couple questions if you can help me out.

-Fixing DRM
I found this link researching Tonymac, but I couldn't find any solution for Big Sur, etc. If you guys can point me on the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I can't watch videos from Apple TV app, I can't play any videos from Netflix, Amazon prime on Safari. (I would like to know if that is possible). I'm using the config.plist from your guide, and it has shikigva=80 with SMBIOS iMac19,1.

- Sleep/Wake
I have an Apple wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse. The sleep doesn't work with the 30 minutes (actually doesn't sleep at all) no success from the Apple menu Sleep. (It goes but it wakes up instantly.) I didn't do any changes in the config.plist. I just would like pointers how to fix it.

-OpenCore
I had to update from 0.6.3 to 0.6.4, and, in the tutorial using hackindron, it went OK, but with the OpenCore being so different from Clover, how do you update the kexts? Is there any software? Another quick question, Is there any easier way to update OpenCore? (OpenCore Configurator?)

-SSD
It was a such hustle to install the SSD on this motherboard. I got 3 SSDs, but I could only install 2. (Every time I put on the M2A, The board won't boot. I had to put on the M2P SLOT and then add on the slot M2M after rebooting.
So weird. The reason to mention this is as suggestion, would be good to have something on the tutorial about it. By the way the tutorial is very well done.

[is Radeon Speed Boost.kext recommended for BigSur?]

-Bluetooth Fenvi T919
I was never truly happy with this card. I can't figure out what is my problem once for all. I have a nerve wracking lag when I doing the most simple tasks as browsing, or moving files and etc. This is pain 10 for me.
I'm willing to do anything even buy a Fenvi 1200 to fix it. I just need guidance/recommendation how to fix once for all.

Thank you!

My Hardware:
I9 10900K
Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Bios F7C)
64GB Corsair
AMD Radeon VII (2 monitors Samsung 32) DP
SSD Silicon Power and Western Digital
Fabrik,

I was the person that suggest that setting a 30 minute wait could solve the Sleep/Wake problem. It doesn't. Sometimes it sleeps and sometimes it doesn't (don't know why). I've unplugged my bluetooth card from USB header and sleep/wake seems to work but that is almost the same thing as turning off keyboard and mouse. If I turn off "Allow Blue Tooth Devices to wake computer", then Sleep/Wake does appear to work. Of course I have to push power button to wake computer. I'm also using an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse. If I turn off the keyboard and mouse then that also helps Sleep/Wake for me. Right now I just have Bluetooth Wake turned off.

I don't have the same Wireless/Bluetooth card as you. I have the YOUBO card:

YOUBO card from amazon


I've also tried this card from Fenvi FV-HB1200 from Newegg:

Fenvi FV-HB1200

and thought that it didn't work as well as the YOUBO and it didn't fix the Sleep/Wake so I put the YOUBO back. Bluetooth has been problematic with both cards, but I thought it worked a bit better with the YOUBO card than Fenvi card, but your experience could be different.

@mm2margaret,

I think you're the resident expert on 10GbE cards for Hackintosh. :) Any advice regarding sleep/wake?

Hmm.....

Well, I don't have those issues with the OWC Thunderbolt Aquantia card, but I am using iMacPro1,1 and this is from Catalina, but Big Sur also works.

My pmset -g looks like this (see below). As you can tell, it's very spare. There's no hibernate file, etc. And, in terms of "spare" take a look at the energy settings widget! But for me, this works, in both Catalina and Big Sur 11.2.

As I remember, the Syba card did not do Wake on Lan and this one (the OWC) doesn't do that either, so I disabled that, and many other things as you can tell from the pmset output. I don't recall many issues with sleep with the dedicated Syba card nor do I have any issues with this card. It sleeps and wakes from sleep just fine for the most part.

Don't know if this will help, but here it is:

System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
autorestart 0
Sleep On Power Button 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
proximitywake 0
powernap 0
gpuswitch 0
networkoversleep 0
disksleep 0
sleep 45
hibernatemode 0
ttyskeepawake 0
displaysleep 45
tcpkeepalive 0
womp 0

Hey there @pastrychef, do you have any thoughts on this? Is that 10GbE thread here on TonyMac still active? I know there's still some postings on the 10GbE thread on the insanely site.

I used the patch from this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-fix-aquantia-10-gb-ethernet-for-big-sur.305261/

It's an AQN107 according to where I bought it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B3G4S4J/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

It gets listed as an AQC107 though when the driver loads. That NIC in the past was noted to work out of the box bfore Big Sur.
Hi there again,

Is there a guide on how to do this? And where do I get the original aquintia kext from?

I just got my first Hackintosh going so I am a little bit of a newby ;) Hope you have a guide for me.
 
Finally running into my first anomaly with TB3... I have the Nekteck Thunderbolt 3 dock that I use for easy access to USB ports, SD-card slot, and the most important: "USB Advanced Audio Device" as my main audio source. I'm using the TB BIOS settings as specified in OP (omitting the optional line item, as this causes all kinds of strange behavior).

Problem: the only way the TB dock is detected is for me to unplug & re-connect once computer is fully booted. If I reboot my machine with dock detected, upon reboot, the TB dock is no longer connected. I need to disconnect/reconnect in order to be recognized.

I have the Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Pro, which works in all scenarios:
  • Connected before boot
  • Hot plugged
  • After reboot while still connected
  • After wake from sleep
Although my Thunderbolt firmware has been flashed, that should not matter with a Thunderbolt 3 dock. Do you have any other Thunderbolt 3 devices to try?

The Aquantia kext comes standard with macOS. We only need to apply the patch stated in the PDF from Post 1 of that thread.

Simply open your config.plist with OpenCore Configurator then add this:

Identifier: com.apple.driver.AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion
Comment: AQC 107 10 GbE v2
Find: 0F84C002 0000
Replace: 660F1F44 0000
Count: 1
Enabled: Check On

Thunderbolt 4 will be part of the new chipset, which means a new motherboard will be needed for that.
so the vision-d uses the Titan Ridge (JHL7540) for the thunderbolt 3 controller, thunderbolt 4 will use Maple Ridge (JHL8540).
