The thing is im not going to throw say $500 or even $250 at a 6000 series card unless it was something like a 6900/6950XT, as they are basically last gen and heading for obsolescence, AMD is months to maybe a year off from releasing 8000 series cards, and the 7000 series cards are mature in...

Quick question. I feel im getting to the end of the run soon with MacOS on Intel. But for now I want to still keep my MacOS install on this machine, But the RX6600 XT 8gb card is getting long in the tooth for gaming on the windows side of my dual boot rig. The rest of the hardware is more than...

Installed in about 20 minutes. Did it after updating Opencore from 0.9.5 to 0.9.7. No issues.

Hmmm, I've downloaded the full installer, But since i use a BCM43xx Wifi and BT card in an adapter, i'm gonna wait. as it seems this kaputs the WiFi. And TBH my system runs flawlessly, Thunderbolt 4, iMessage, Facetime, etc., all running great. for the sake of a couple of moving wallpapers, and...

All my 3 modern machines have came from Microcenter, my 2 hackintosh rigs, a I7 7700k Z170 based machine, and my Current 12900k Z690 based machine, both dual boot into Win 11 and MacOS. and my newest workstation a 13900k Z790 based machine, which runs Win 11 only. I fully intend to pick up a...

I have not tried hot swap, as I only have a couple of TB devices, both being SSD in external housings. I do intend on picking up an extrnal GPU box so i can use it with my Surface Pro 8. But havent found one at a price im happy to pay yet.

Here is my EFI, BUT I have done a fair bit of custom AML files to reflect my hardware setup and kexts. As I not only have the GB Maple Ridge TB card, but have done USB port mapping, CPU friend kexts for my board, resize bar for my GPU, and a few other things in my Config. so unless you have the...

Done, very quick update. No issues, Opencore 0.8.8

The problem is I DON'T have a Thunderbolt.aml.. Its called Maple-Ridge v2, as I went through a couple of iterations to get it showing driver loaded, etc., and I also did a couple of things in my config.plist, and other SSDT files I have in my OpenCore folder. And, as I did this a while ago, and...

I installed it ok on firstly my Macbook pro 2017. then on my main hack, this also installed fine, but the one annoying thing is the login screen is huge! at least 2x the size it was. and clearing the NVRam has no effect, this was a solution suggested by a google search. Still no luck.. something...

I haven't tried putting it to sleep. i normally don't bother, and just switch it off fully. but i did have it set up properly with CPU Friend and the data provider kext. and it was fully working previously so cant see it changing as i haven't modified anything there. I need the system today. but...

That fixed it! thank you. I now have the latest bios installed and the machine is booting just like before. The only thing is. i cannot remember off the top of my head why this was not enabled. I did a lot of poking around whilst getting Thunderbolt working properly with the Maple Ridge card...

Well, I went in and put EXACTLY the same known working booting settings into the BIOS, (f7 - f21), and it sits on the Apple logo. No progress bar. So looks like its an issue with the BIOS itself. I'll see if they put out a refreshed one at a later date.

Well, I have gone in and reflashed it to the f21 BIOS. I have entered all the settings I had previously on the f7 BIOS, and it only sits on the Apple logo, no progress bar. I shall toggle verbose mode to see what it says. if anything. I can't say I've had much issues with Gigabyte boards and...

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...

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...

Nope.. I'm running macOS quite happily on a Z690 based board and a 12th gen i9. Dual boot into Windows 11 Pro. AVX-512 being disabled does not seem to affect it whatsoever. I am not even sure if mine supports it or not. It all comes down to the batch number which I haven't checked. But all it...

The older iterations of MacOS/OSX used a lot more skeuomorphic design, even win xp/vista/7 did this, but in a more cartoonish way. well xp, more than 7. its just natural progression in graphic design trends. the whole flat design sort of hit its peak last year, we are now on a curve where its...

All fine on OpenCore 0.8.3, 3 reboots

Sorry for the late reply, no i went with a Asus ROG Strix OC 6600XT. as it was in stock when i went to microcenter and it was a known working card. Can say thus far (6 months later) no issues in Mac OS or Win 11.
