Z690 Chipset Motherboards and Alder Lake CPU

@MbryMbry @ori69 - You guys are both running 13900KF processors and Gigabyte motherboards. Are you having an issue with the system hanging when going to sleep the second time? It seems to be effecting the Z690 Aero G MBs that have upgraded to the BIOS that supports the 13000 series processors.

I also have the issue with my Z790 Aero G. If you aren't having the sleep issue, than it is possible to use the 13000 series processor with Gigabyte MBs w/o the sleep issue.

I don't use sleep at all (as I cut the power of my whole studio at the end of the day). I can't try the sleep feature yet as I'm working on a musical project this week. If I have time, I will give it a shot.

That would be awesome. Thank you.

@sjoseph - Are you having the issue where your system hangs when it goes to sleep for the second time? What motherboard is the DDR5 results for, the gigabyte Z690 gaming X?
No I do not have any issues with sleep/wake. I currently use Asus Z690-P WIFI

Wonder if anyone can help. I seen that recently Gigabyte have released a updated BIOS for my Board, which is a Z690 UD DDR4, fitted with a Maple Ridge TB4 Gigabyte card. 64GB DDR4 RAM, Asus Strix RX 6600 XT 8GB.

The board was running a F7a BIOS, with VTD enabled, Resize Bar Enabled, secure boot disabled, fast boot disabled, Serial port disabled, Thunderbolt enabled, with the recommended settings from Casey's posts about TB add in cards and Z690 chipsets. I have also compiled a lot of Custom SSDT's for USB port mapping, TB, etc.

Now I backed up my BIOS, and saved my settings into a file on the flash drive. Updated the BIOS to the latest and greatest F21 with support for 13th gen Raptor Lake, and instant 6GHz. This went fine, but, when I either tried to import my settings from previously OR enter them by hand, the machine will not boot Mac OS. Just the Apple logo, and no loading bar shows at all.

When going through the BIOS they seem to have added a lot of overclocking settings, but have removed a lot of the Thunderbolt related settings. only having a single enable/disable toggle now. So you cannot go in and tweak further settings.

Has anyone else got this board, and updated to the F21 BIOS? And managed to get it to boot Mac OS? I have reflashed it back to the F7 BIOS as it turned out the backup I made "was not a recognized BIOS file", and thankfully it booted after hand entering the settings again.

I would like to get this resolved as I'd like to pick up a 13th gen early next year. Also, perhaps a new GPU if any of the RX 7000 series cards will work in Mac OS.

In my case from BIOS 20a it does not see Thunderbolt settings, you had these settings in the menu at BIOS 21?
Saving the settings only works with the BIOS on which they were made.

It has a single Thunderbolt entry, to enable/disable thats it. but there is definitely something there. Can I ask exactly what you have enabled/disabled in the 20a BIOS? I'm going to go give it one more go. To see if I can get it to boot, I think I've maybe forgot to toggle something.. I've a feeling its the VTD settings.
