    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Hello all ****UPDATE**** The card is working fine - the issue is my audio interface and lack of Catalina support. Has anyone successfully installed a Firewire card into the Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming? I'm using the card recommended in this thread...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    This is why I build my Hackintoshes. Although I've transitioned from Logic to Reaper I still like to use Logic on certain jobs. I installed Catalina on a WD Black 500GB SN750 without issue. HTH Tony

    F9K here - never a black screen using IGPU. Tony

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    I built my machine, also with pastrychef's considerable help, a few weeks back. All the main problems during install for myself and other users in this thread since then have been with regard to the graphics card. Seems this is a biggie. Mine turned out to be mostly incompatible and like others...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    I am ahead of you on building this hack only by a few days. I have a windows 10/Catalina dual boot setup working fine. Windows has put the MSR on my MAC NVme system drive to no ill effect as far as I can tell. Tony

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    I've had issues with previous hackintoshes with Windows installs messing my EFIs. Try to diable all drives in BIOS other than the windows drive during windows installation as Chef says. At some points I've had to disable the Windows install drive altogther in BIOS to boot MacOSX. This with a...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    I would suggest it is the Fermi chip and not the Keplar chip - hence the issues. HD 630 is apparently better (https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-UHD-Graphics-630-Desktop-Coffee-Lake-i5-i7-vs-Nvidia-GeForce-GT-730/m356797vsm12582)! I'm using the DVI-D port. Thanks Chef! Ps. I'm up to...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    OK Day 3. I installed Logic 10.5.1 yesterday, which is what motivates my Hackintosh builds, The "playhead" was not drawing itself which was very bizarre. I've been doing a lot of reading mostly on TonyMac but also on Logic fora and I concluded it was a metal compatibility issue. I tried to test...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Interesting you say that as I used my phone simply because the screenshots I made did not show the glitching. It seems it's the monitor which I've used with Snow Leopard and El Capitan without issue. Thanks (again!) Tony

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    I was in your position 48 hours ago and was similarly frustrated but bit by bit it ends up working. I'm not even sure how but eventually my install was bludgeoned into submission and it's working more smoothly after 2 days now than I expected it would before starting at all. You're in very...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Hi all I've tried both the Nvidia GT 730 and the Intel internal HD630 and I have a weird graphics bug as per the attached image using both GPUs: Grey areas turn black which can be seen here in the Safari tab toolbar. When moving the mouse over these areas the black is painted grey as if one...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Hi Just to add to the pool of info I flashed to F9k and had no black screen issues. Tony

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Hi Chef This worked and I also kept experimenting with MultiBeast selections such that it now boots perfectly. Thanks for all your help so far. There are some very minor but annoying graphics glitches. I'll experiment a little more but it's possible that the GT 730 is a false economy despite...

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Hi I can't get a working EFI on the OS drive. I have to boot with the USB install disk, press space bar and adjust settings. Multibeast created EFI fails, Pastry Chef EFI fails. Must get some sleep now - I'll work on it tomorrow. Thanks Tony

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Cinebench score of 2613. That's nearly 3 times faster than my overclocked 2600K setup I'm replacing. And no overclocking as yet. I'm going to reboot now - wish me luck! Tony

    Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

    Hi Chef 10.15.6. It's working now and I write to you from the new Hackintosh. 2nd install and LAN works unlike last time. I'm somewhat worried about what might break next but such is life! Thanks again. I think your EFI might break my setup again. Maybe I need to ditch the GT730 but it's...
