Hello everyone,
As some of you know, I have been lurking around to make the new X299X boards (Gigabyte) work,
unsuccessful at it, but trying nevertheless.
On the hardware side these are the specs of the build:
Gigabyte Designare EX 10G
Intel i9 10900X
128GB DDR4 3200 Mhz Crucial Ballistix
1200W BeQuiet! PurePower
PNY 500GB NVMe
And other bits, but the important is here.
I am going to mention a few users who I know perhaps have some insight in the matter due to having GB boards or are experimenting the same issue
@nmano @P1LGRIM @bingoc @Ellybz
I'm hoping we can get to a point where we can get actual working series of the new X299X boards, this will possibly help other users buying other vendors boards.
Hope some brilliant mind can come up with something.
Have a nice weekend guys.
EDIT: In order to correctly boot, this boards require a DSDT hot patch in .plist ACPI section. (I'm not the author of this patch, user 紫米 from the other forum should be credited for it).
