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

[CaseySJ]

So this is the same info for the Gigabyte Z490 Vision D? That is the MB I have.

Thank you!!

Z490 Vision D succeeds the Z390 Designare. They are very close cousins. The Thunderbolt controller is the same.

For the RX 5700 XT we only need agdpmod=pikera added to Boot Arguments. It should be there already.

I installed a Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700XT Gaming. Since then, we are experiencing random black screens post OC menu boot. If the system eventually boots, the said black screen appears after 5 mins or so.

In an attempt to successfully integrate the 5700 XT, I am convinced I have polluted the EFI folder to a point at which I must concede. A gentle reminder that with the RX 580 installed, this system was completely stable.

Kindly advise.

Gigabyte Z490 Vision D -Bios F2
i9-10700
Rx 5700 XT
32Gigs Ram.
2Tb NVME.

I have attached the EFI folder and scores for perusal.

I'm sorry I cannot find info an how to flash the TB firmware.

[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

I do not have one so I think that the best choice would be to buy the: https://www.reveltronics.com/en/shop/18/7/chip-programmers/revelprog-is-serial-device-eeprom-flash-programmer-usb-detail The only difference is I could go get it now. I tried the RPi last night with a (badly) doctored set...

It's strange. My Gigabyte Z390 Designare works perfect with my Thunderbolt Apollo Twin X without the need to flash firmware. So I guess am to assume the Gigabyte Z490 Vision Thunderbolt will not work unless the TB is flashed?

Thank you!!

Thunderbolt firmware flashing is not needed. After connecting the Twin X please run IORegistryExplorer and a post a screenshot of the of the RP05 section.

Although I don't see anything wrong with the EFI, I have updated all of the kexts, particularly Lilu and WhateverGreen. Simply rename the folder back to EFI and replace the existing one. Be sure to copy serial number back into PlatformInfo.

This EFI also includes CFGLock.efi to unlock MSR 0xE2. Please follow the procedure in Post 1, Step 7 to unlock MSR 0xE2. Then uncheck these two parameters in Kernel:

I looked at these numbers, but I confess that I need to check their configuration.

That's a good single-core result, but seems to trail a little bit in multi-core compared to i7-10700K. However, these benchmarks always fluctuate when run 3 times in a row.
