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

[macier]

Has anyone created a guide (posted instructions, anything) for adding Thunderbolt to a Vision G (NOT D) with the official Gigabyte Titan Ridge 2.0 add-in-card?

On another site I found a general guide to enable Thunderbolt which supposedly applies to multiple cards but I don't know if it's a good guide, if it will work well with the EFI from here, etc.

Hi all I am about updating my EFI to 0.72 with HackinDROM wonderful Apps.
- However when launching I get a "?" regarding the version currently installed.
I quit the apps and launch it again but... same result
- In addition to that I have a message saying that I don't have enough space, although there is just the Casey EFI with one theme added in canopy (the one I love !).
It used to happened in the past as I was storing some version of past EFI but it is no longer the case.
Any Advice?
Thanks all as usual !

@MacArthur - Can't say this will fix it for you, but what I do when I change EFIs and delete them is to make sure when the EFI partition is selected, I make sure to empty the trash. I have had this problem happen to me when I've changed EFIs, deleted some, and forgot to empty the trash when the EFI partition is selected.

@mm2margaret same result

Everyone will get an APPLE folder inside the EFI folder. This happens when we upgrade macOS. We can safely delete the APPLE folder and empty the trash to make space available.

Regarding the "?", there might be an issue with HackinDROM App. @Inqnuam is looking into it. Meanwhile, we can always perform the update manually.

Thanks !
I know and there is nothing that urgent
But you push us to be lazy !

I’m not at home so I can’t check apps code but I think we get “?” probably because of time zone differences:
Acidenthara team released 0.7.2 later in the day than usually, so for some countries released ISO date on GitHub is different from each other which is crucial for checking OC version as you know

Maybe waiting few hours will “magically fix” the issue

Or I have to make a quick change to the app when I’m back at home this morning (UTC+1)

 

[MacArthur]

I am GMT +7, (Asia) this may explain that !
I can obviously wait for a while....

EDIT: ON the other side Hackintool says there is a new OC version available. This is linked or different?
