Very old simple Fractal Design ATX Case
Comments
Thanks to the guys in the most exiting thread I have read for long time.
Most components are from my previous build, a Coffee Lake with 64 GB DDR4 RAM
For the new build I bought only new motherboard, CPU and new mounting kit for the old Noctua cooler
Sorry for my English, it`s not my first language.
Installation
BIOS
last BIOS F7
load optimized defaults
Gigabyte made it simple:
Internal Graphic - disable
Apple VTD - enable
Above 4G Decoding - enable
Cannot find serial port option
No meaning using XMP1 here since RAM is 2666MHz
Hyperthreading-enable
CPU Cores Enabling Mode - Selectable mode
Enable all P and E cores
I didn't use Thunderbolt stuff, perhaps later.
Summary
My previous Coffee Lake 8700K & Z370 have been stable for 2 years. I´m using my build for Photography, and Lightroom/Photoshop runs without any hitch.
I think upgrading to Comet Lake would had been too little value for money, but Alder Lake is a big performence step up.
I have used this build for 2 months now, and I can only say its fantastic.
Three (small) problems:
1) these red USB ports, specially the left one, gave kernel panic. I tried several ways of mapping at vain. Perhaps somebody else with same board can help me out? In the end I didn't map them at all. I have 14 port total, all other HS SS ports works (exept red port). (there is enough USB ports anyway.)
2) needed two keyboard presses waking from sleep, one for waking computer and one for waking display. The solution was making SSDT-USBW.aml, methode 2 from here. After it`s working fine with just one keyboard press.
3) Sleep deos not work if Bluetooth device (my hearing aid) is connected. I have to turn off Bluetooth before sleep. Its no problem with Bluetooth mouse pairing, but with Bluetooth hearing aid which I use, it doesn't work. Tried everything. Was the same with previous build also, so I assume its the hearing aid Bluetooth chip which gives the issues. I'm not using Bluetooth mouse now, but Logitech G603 with small USB-thingy plugged into USB keyboard.
USB
Here are ports as ioreg sees it. USBToolbox in Windows found 25 ports. If using XHCIport limit patch + USBinjectall.kext 7.7 we also probably find 25 ports. Hackintool will see 19 active ports after populate all ports with usb2 + 3 devices. In Hackintool remove ports to 15 port limit and finally export. Use UIAC or KEXT as you want (not both at same time). UIAC need USBinjectall.kext 7.7, KEXT needs nothing. XHCIport limit off in both
