Asus Z690 ProArt Creator WiFi (Thunderbolt 4) + i7-12700K + AMD RX 6800 XT

Hi Casey, did you try to update the BIOS on Z690-I?
I’ve got the same Asus Itx board and happy to report updating to the latest BIOS version was straight forward. If anything it improved stability or at least it seems that way. Zero issues!
 
That sucks. Sorry to hear. Hopefully they send you a new one that works properly.
I hope so. It is good, however, that this problem occurred within the warranty period. Imagine if I opted not to upgrade the BIOS until much later, after warranty expiration.
 
Just chatted with someone from Asus tech support who concluded that the board should be returned for repair. RMA has been issued, board is packed up and will be shipped out tomorrow. Fortunately for me I still have 4 working Hackintoshes and a 2021 Apple Silicon MacBook Pro! The power of redundancy! :)
That is quite the backup fleet!

Yes. Especially if you were updating to put Raptor Lake in there, or for some other reason.

Somehow waiting three years to update the BIOS doesn't sound much like our mad scientist. :lol:
 
Hi CaseySJ, Hope they send you a new MOB instead of repairing the old one.
I had a question though, what are your thoughts on new opencore 0.8.1? Any benefits to updating from 0.8.0?
 
Hopefully we can find an ACPI (SSDT) solution for this eventually.
while we're talking about sleep/wake, my hackintosh keep waking up after 2 min, with CNVW waking it up. the wifi card is BCM9430NG.

Is there away to disable CNVI card? I found this code, but didn't work. Any pointer?

You could also disable its USB port(sometimes that port is hs14).
