Good news, this appears to have resolved the sleep wake issue. Now the fun part of working out why I can't fully enable SIP.

Was planning to work my way through: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/sleep.html

Having wrestled with sleep issues previously due to USB devices & Mapping I was pretty confident I had this licked, but apparently not.

Any tips on where I should start?

Has anyone tried the F9k BIOS?
It’s on the TweakTown website.

Seems to be fine so far, but then I'm not running much that can cause problems.

Do you see SSP1 and SSP2 in Hackintool under the USB section? I know F9j breaks this so I wonder if F9k fixed it.

The nice thing about a Hackintosh is that we don't have to choose between one OS or another. We can in fact run them all. Many of us, myself included, have dual or triple boot systems. Others run Windows and Linux inside of macOS through a virtual machine.

I’ve always dual-booted since my first real Mac (MacBook Pro Early 2011, Win10 Bootcamp) and my first Hackintosh (2014).

My professional work has been done on Macs from 1997 to around 2010 and our School Board switched to PC´s because Macs became too onerous.

Personal work is always on the Mac side (papers, projects for kids, audio) but I must have Windows friendly machines...

Yes, you can but your NZXT should be plugged directly into the MB. Check out this post: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-10400-amd-rx-580.298642/page-24#post-2138475

@CaseySJ & @brousseau6933, I don't disagree with you. I have been dual-booting since I originally built my hackintosh, and in most cases its a fine solution. However, there are contributing factors for me, such as having a RX 6900XT, a Sounds Blaster AE-9, and an El Gato 4K60 Pro sitting on a shelf because they don't work in macOS. Yes, I can open my case and swap parts in and out each morning, but that becomes impractical and tedious very quick.

I still prefer macOS for my personal use, which is why I have my MacBook Pro sitting on my desk sharing my keyboard and mouse via Logitech Flow, my 2013 Mac Pro trashcan connected via VNC, and a few different macOS VM's local. None of these are perfect, but it works.

I plan to keep poking around here to stay up to date with what's happening. Who knows; maybe Big Sur 11.5 will have support for the 6900 and I'll find a way to get the Sounds Blaster and 4K60 to work. Then I'll switch back to macOS.
