Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

[CaseySJ]

Hello everybody,
I am getting ready to build my third Hackintosh, my first based on Opencore. I'm a pretty timid Hackintosher, easily confused and once I get a build running well I don't tinker if I can avoid it because I do use it as my main workstation. This Z490 Vision D system seemed like the best combination of power and compatibility.

The only meaningful difference between my parts list and that of this guide is my graphics card: Radeon Vega FE. Are any changes required to support this older card?

After getting everything up and running, I'm hoping I can add a second matching graphics card for use in DaVinci Resolve. Most "dual gpu" reports I can find are about using a different Nvidia card for Windows. Anyone have experience using dual gpu's in MacOS?

The Vega Frontier Edition has been used successfully, but if you notice high fan speeds it may require a custom Power and Fan Curve injection as detailed here:

[GUIDE] Injection of AMD Vega Power and Fan Control Properties

Injection of Device Properties for Power and Fan control Last updated 14th May 2019 Update: MacOS Mojave 10.14.5+ includes a major overhaul of the Vega GPU drivers which should resolve all the power and fan control issues with most Vega cards and thus should make the methods outlined in this...

will this effect hackintosh........?

Hi, I have the Asus Thunderboltex 3-TR and UAD Apollo 8 Quad, and the card is working. But I have randomly kernel panics, and I can't go up more than 96KHz. I could fix this with the mod firmware?

I’ve got an Apollo Firewire and has a expansion card. So does the Thunderbolt card works fine by now?

Have you managed to solve the problem? If not, please do the following:

• Update OpenCore Configurator (OCC) to version 2.29.0.0.
• Then select OpenCore 0.6.7 Development Version from OCC Preferences.

• When OCC restarts, open your config.plist and save it back. Now KeyMergeThreshold will be removed from the XML schema.
• Reboot.

Great, thank you very much!

Well hackintosh runs x86 natively so probably not... as I understand it, this affects M1 Macs, not x86 ones. I think this could potentially negatively affect Mac sales, however, depending who those 'certain countries' are. But, if most developers update their apps for M1/ARM, then it could be a moot point.

The modified firmware may solve the 96KHz limit issue, but not the kernel panic issue. We need to follow a "process of elimination" to try and isolate the problem that is causing kernel panic. Have you tried to determine the circumstances under which the kernel panic occurs, and the circumstances under which it does not occur?

Not sure I understand. Are you asking whether a Thunderbolt-to-Firewire adapter works on a Hackintosh?
