Anyone have any issues with upgrading to Sonoma?

Thanks for all the tips! In the end, I decided to stick with my 10900k. I'll do another build sometime in the future...

Hey Everyone, I'm debating swapping out my 10900k out for an 11900k as I think that I will get a little better performance in after effects with the faster single core speeds. Would it be as simple as swapping them out and making sure that the iGPU is disabled? I have a Radeon VII and 6900xt for...

I had the same problem and this worked for me. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/random-screen-freezes-and-screen-always-freezes-on-shutdown-restart.317148/post-2291132 @macntosh - You, my friend, really know what you're talking about. Everything you mentioned, I did piece together from other...

@macntosh - I'd like to say thank you as well! I also followed the steps listed above and I don't appear to have crashes anymore either.

My system still crashed. Even with the caffeinate -d trick

I've been experiencing the same issue. The upgrade from Big Sur 11.6.1 to Monterery 12.0.1 went smoothly and everything, but after 5-10 min of using the computer, the screen freezes and I have to do a hard reboot. I'm going to try this caffeinate -d trick and see if that works for me as well.

Anyone update to Monterey yet? I did the update, but my sytem keeps freezing/crashing after about 10 minutes of use.

Lol. What ended up being your problem?

I've only updated once so far. I went from OC 6.5 to 6.8 and didn't have any issues. I think it's important to backup your files before doing any update. Just FYI. I followed the instructions on the OpenCore website -...

I haven't done it yet. I was able to modify my USB ports in 11.3.1 with Hackintool though. I'll probably go to 11.4 later this week...

Are you asking about Big Sur 11.4?

I didn't update my USB mapping and all my ports seem to work just fine.

I updated to OS 11.3 without any issues.

I had pretty good success with turning on the AI overclocking feature in the BIOS, then going to the advance settings>Ai Tweaker, and switching the CPU Core Ratio to Sync All Cores, and setting that to 51. I didn't touch the voltage settings at all, and I let all of the AI features handle that...

I updated to the current BIOS version as of April 4, 2021, and made sure I was using OC 6.5 before doing the install. It also looks like I used just one RAM stick in B2 to get everything running, then I added in the rest of my RAM after setup.

I like to tinker with my computers, so I tend to apply liquid metal to my CPUs and squeak out another 10-20% on my machines. I do a lot of C4D and AE rendering work so it's nice to save as much time as possible. I actually just enabled the BIOS', EZ setup page, XMP and AI Overclocking profiles...

Does anyone have a good overclocking guide for this motherboard? I got Big Sur installed. I had a little issue initially but then I saw that I need to use OpenCore 0.6.5 to make the installation work. Thanks for the great guide!

Just ordered a 10900K and the ASUS Prime Z490-A board. Are there any issues using a 10900k chip vs the 10850k?

Thanks for the reply. That's actually super helpful. I think I'll probably just stick with the 8700k if the gains aren't really that noticeable.
