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

@OptimaLemon,

Which version of OpenCore are you on?

 

[CaseySJ]

@Aresexe,

No additional changes to the EFI are needed. However, “SecureBootModel” is disabled in config.plist, which is necessary for installing macOS. This can be switched to “Default” now, but should be disabled again when the next macOS update needs to be installed.

The Asus XG-C100C should work in Sonoma, but depending on its device-id we may need to spoof it to a supported ID. Just install it and see whether it works, then we can help you as necessary.

@OptimaLemon,

Which version of OpenCore are you on?

I believe I am using 0.8.1.

That's too old for Sonoma: 0.9.3 or later.

Hey @CaseySJ, Can I use Thunderbolt SSDT (SSDT-MAPLE-RIDGE-RP05-2024 or SSDT-MAPLE-RIDGE-RP05) on ASUS Z690i (ITX)?

Thanks

That version of OpenCore is not compatible with Sonoma. Must upgrade OpenCore. Please see this guide (also linked near top of Post 1):

It would be good to check that all cables and PCIe cards are securely connected. Power cables should be checked on both sides (on PSU and on motherboard/GPU -- don't forget the GPU). Looking at my previous post, I guess I need to get another graphics card. Does it need to be the RX580? Would...

Although we can, my experience on Z690-I has been dismal. Please see:

Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

I had a feeling this was going to an intel only party. I just tried flashing Thunderbolt firmware on my AMD Ryzen system (Asus X670E Gene) using TbtNvmDrvShellUpdate.efi and it bricked the controller. I've added a warning to this post...

Your mileage may vary so feel free to try it.

If you're using the Asus Z690 ProArt EFI that I posted yesterday, it is configured to use Intel WiFi, but not Intel Bluetooth. If you do not have a Broadcom WiFi/BT module such as Fenvi FV-T919 and are relying only on the Intel M.2 card that is preinstalled, then we can enable Intel Bluetooth by following the instructions in the Sonoma Mini Guide:

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

The first bullet seems full of caveats: Bandwidth Boost provides up to 3 times the throughput for video-intensive usage, up to 120 Gbps. Not sure what this means. It may just be referring to the DisplayPort pins. Thunderbolt 3/4 is always symmetrical at 40 Gb/s each way. TB 5 will be 80 Gb/s...

Simply scroll down to Enabling Intel Bluetooth. Then perform this step:

Just to clarify, my mb is not the prime but: ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI (updated miss typed Z790 before)

Same situation applies to this board follow the instructions for bios 3101 update on the asus support site
