Not sure if anyone is interested, but I am using the latest CaseySJ Opencore 0.7.8 settings for the Z390 Designare with i7-8700k and RX560 (64GB) and just upgraded to 11.6.6. Everything seems to be normal AFAIK. Thanks CaseySJ and other fellows that helped me get here!

Thanks so much for your help, Middleman! I was able to install both OC 0.7.8 per CaseySJ's instructions above and successfully upgraded to MacOS 11.6.5. The system now seems to be stable, and I need to run it for a few days to see if I have any crashes. I have pics for the PCIRoot settings as...

Thanks so much CaseySJ! My "problem was solved"... Can't quite explain it ... I started by following your instructions to upgrade to OC 0.7.8 and then also upgraded to MacOS 11.6.5 ... then just tried to hotplug the TV via DP - though it auto-switched to 1920p, when I clicked Settings ->...

Hello CaseySJ and other fellows. Finally managed to get a AFOX RX560 GPU board to replace mine that was broken, so I'm back to tonymacx86. For the life of me don't understand how DP doesn't work at 4k@60 (max resolution is 1080p) with this new card, but given that HDMI is delivering 4k@60 I...

Looking at my previous post, I guess I need to get another graphics card. Does it need to be the RX580? Would the RX570 or the RX560 work? Don't need too much GPU power, just want to make sure I can drive a 4K display and play videos smoothly. Are there brands I should stay way? If I put in a...

Thanks! I think I found the culprit ... this is the Saphire RX580 Pulse ... notice pin "1" on PCI bus peeled off the contact ... it is amazing that works at all ...

Thanks very much, I'm using F9i and no USB-C devices are connected.

Hello all. I have a Designare Z390 system with i7-8700k and Sapphire RX580 running OC 066 and Big Sur 11.6.2 and this system has been rock solid for almost a year (thanks CaseySJ!) until I had to move. After the move, every so often, especially after a wake from sleep the system fails to turn...

Just to report that things went fairly smooth for upgrades. I was still at OC 0.6.5 and did an upgrade to OC 0.6.8 - no problems whatsoever this time - thanks CaseySJ! Then once I was satisfied with the stability of 0.6.8 I just did System Preferences -> Updates .... it takes a bit of a while...

Just wanted to report that my Z390 Designare with F9i and OC 0.6.5 migrated without any issues from Big Sur 11.1 to Big Sur 11.2 (20D64). Everything worked very smooth, just used the installer in "System Preferences", as if I was updating a regular Mac. Now for a reason I just can't figure out...

Just wanted everyone to know that using System Preferences -> Software Update worked without any issues to upgrade to Big Sur, no problems to report - except that Parallels stopped working, not a big deal, can fix that with an upgrade. I did that about 5 days ago and so far all works - sleep...

Thanks so much for the guidance!!! It worked like a charm .... first got the F9i firmware update from the gigabyte website. The only thing to note is that you need to save your BIOS params to an external disk, as a firmware update destroys that data. Not a big deal. So I re-did BIOS params...

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I'm upgrading from Clover and Catalina 10.15.7 and I think somewhere CaseySJ mentioned that we needed to upgrade the BIOS as well, but I was not sure. And as you pointed out, yesterday CaseySJ got a new OC 0.6.5, so I'm definitely going that way. Thank you all...

Not sure if someone posted this yet, but for me the Security Update 2020-001 for Catalina went smooth, no problems whatsoever, everything seems to be working for the Z390 Designare. Thanks again CaseySJ!

Thanks! Actually, I sort of figured that out today ... rsync used to be able to do the job with HFS+ but the issue is that APFS is actually a multi-layered container that has many different filesystems embedded ... some of them are mounted during runtime, and some are only mounted during boot...

You know, this migration is quite important for me because I have been using this Designare system I built because of CaseySJ success and great instructions as my main workhorse. I am an old man and booting processes were always somewhat esoteric for me. I am so old that I actually had an octal...

Thanks Ploddles and Inqnuam! Except for a strange reset of my scaling settings everything went smooth on the 19H15 Updatde. Also a "Relocated Items" appeared on my desktop, containing the changes I had in my apache server. Took about 20 minutes and a couple of reboots and the usual stuff that...

Has anyone tried the 19H15 update - my understanding is it was released today - on the Designare Z390 system? I followed exactly the "Fresh Catalina 10.15.4 or Newer Install" instructions, using Clover and the stuff in the CaseySJ's "May 2020 Update.zip" in my EFI folder. Any recommendations...

Well, I still had some random wakes tonight but at least the machine was only wake (at least report says so) for 17 seconds and went back to sleep a few times, I can live with that. I'll keep observing how it behaves and report. Also, I noticed that in the WakeReason is listed: I was...
