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

[grafiko]

Hello, CaseySJ, great job as always for the new update 0.7.3 for me all working fine, but into the OpenCore GUI the keyboard (I have a Apple Keyboard Magic Black) doesn't works (is always plugged with the cable); but, if I unplug the cable, working by Bluetooth and the Apple Magic Mouse 2 Black working fine too; maybe the cable is plugged into a USB 2.0 not USB 3.1 to the back panel. Anyway all working fine! Thank you.

@CaseySJ,

Is there a specific reason/issue with the Vision Z490 D/G as to why you added the RestrictEvents kext ?
I don't recall ever experiencing an issue with the Vision G that would require it ...

Cheers
Jay

Jay,

It was added several months ago but never enabled by default. It can be enabled by the user if they wish to do the following:

• Suppress memory notifications when using SMBIOS MacPro7,1
• Change CPU name in “About this Mac”

So it’s only there if someone wants to use it. In fact I’ve also included the new “OpenLinuxBoot” and “ext4” EFI drivers, but not enabled them until I can test them myself.

As an experiment, please try disabling “OpenUsbKb” EFI driver, but do NOT use OpenCore Configurator 2.48.1.0 or earlier!!

@CaseySJ,

Fair enough ....

I'm using the iMac20,2 SMBIOS to get the benefit of IGPU compute so no need for the MacPro7,1 suppression of memory notifications and I believe the change CPU Name feature is only of benefit for users who are running AMD CPU's which of course does not effect the Z490 based systems.

Just a thought, you could send MTC to another system that just does video playback to relieve your Luna systems from having to push picture as well?

@canyondust, Exactly what we are doing. Trashcans are utilized for video content. They are connected to televisions, with black burst frame sync ref.

Useful information for iGPU users:
if you need [email protected] on HDMI with iGPU UDH 630 (10th gen CPU), you can use this active DP->HDMI adapter:

Lenovo DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0b Adapter

www.lenovo.com

Tested on my system, works great. Supports HDR!

These 3 or 6 ft. DP to HDMI cables will work too. Good if you don't already have a 4K HDMI cable to use.

If you want to destroy the current Windows 10 installation and replace it with a fresh Windows 11 installation, then I suggest the following:

1. Boot macOS
2. Run Disk Utility, click the parent name of the Windows 10 disk, and click Erase
3. Select:
   • Name: (Anything)
   • Format: exFAT
   • Scheme: GUID Partition Map <-- this is important
4. Then connect the Windows 11 USB install disk and reboot the computer.
5. Press F12 at the Gigabyte splash screen to open the BIOS boot menu (not OpenCore boot menu) and select the Windows 11 USB install disk.
6. When the installer starts it will ask you to select the destination disk. Carefully look through the choices and find the disk that contains the exFAT partition -- that will be your old Windows 10 disk.
7. Select the exFAT partition and click Delete, but do not delete the smaller EFI partition.
8. The deleted partition will change to "Available" or "Unformatted" or something like that.
9. Select the available/unformatted partition and continue the installation.

Honestly I am speechless. Your explanations are always beyond expectations... So comprehensive...
Well I feel I am close to the install, but unfortunately the initial checkup says that "My computer does not meet minimum requirements" which is pretty funny indeed...
Did you face that issue?
How to solve it?
My Bios set up is exactly the same as yours (same for OC although iti is not involved at that stage).
Once again , so many thanks for your support !

In BIOS have you enabled "Intel Platform Trust Technology" (PTT)?
