Z690 Chipset Motherboards and Alder Lake CPU

Damn Lord, I got the exact same config and custom firmware flash as you but I can't have the Hot.Plug. What did you do in the SSDT or what do you add other than the HackinDROM SSDT's ?

Thanks for helping us.
1. In which slot do you have GC-Titan Ridge?
2. Take a PCIe dump in HackinTool.
3. Attach your TH.aml.

I got 3 Slot Pcie on this MB, The Thunderbolt card is on the 2 which is Pcie x4
already did this with the Hackin Z690 Titan Ridge Version. The card works but not Hot plug
 
Mam 3 gniazda Pcie na tym MB, karta Thunderbolt jest na 2, czyli Pcie x4
już to zrobiłem z wersją Hackin Z690 Titan Ridge. Karta działa, ale nie Hot Plug

Try this.

The SSDT has to be tailored for the PCI path, which depends on the slot the card is in.
 
Did anyone try CpuTopologyRebuild kext? I got a slight uplift in both Cinebench (+300pts) and Geekbench on my 13900KF (Hyperthreading off) using it.

Hmm. I have just noticed that at some point in the last month or so, I have lost USB2 (a joystick) access on my CalDigit TS4. This has worked 100% since I first starting using the dock until very recently. Not sure if one of the last Monterey updates may have broken it. The joystick will operate normally when plugged into one of the active USB2 MB ports. Is there a way to map USB2 on the thunderbolt dock?
Just as a follow up here- I have determined that I lost USB2 on my goshen ridge based TS4 dock after plugging it directly into my MB thunderbolt port for testing. When I run it through my Titan Ridge based UltraFine monitor, USB2 works properly on the dock. So I'm thinking this is an issue between Thunderbolt firmware on my MB (Maple Ridge) and the TS4 dock that gets smoothed out when running through the older Titan Ridge monitor.
In case anyone else comes across this issue.

Some have also reported marginal gains from using CpuTopologyRebuild in addition to ProvideCurrentCpuInfo. But since the latter has superseded the former, which is no longer developed and maintained, you're in unchartered territory here. Is it worth it?

Hi, are you using CpuTopologyRebuild.kext together with CPUFriend.kext and CPUFirendDataProvider.kext? I have the same, i7 13700KF. When using the kexts CPUFriend and CPUFriendDataProvider from my previous i9 12900K build, the results are lower, without CPUFriend.kext and CPUFirendDataProvider.kext, but with CpuTopologyRebuild.kext enabled it seems to go higher.

I was kind of afraid of using it. For now, it does work and benchmarks tend to confirm the performance boost.
I will get using it for now and see how it handles the music workload I'm about to throw at it. I will keep you posted.

I do. I'm using this one: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/z690-chipset-and-alder-lake-cpus.316618/page-267#post-2347243
It released the true power of my Raptor Lake. CpuTopologyRebuild boosted it a bit more. Not sure about the long-term stability. For now it works.
