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

[CaseySJ]

@CaseySJ Hi Casey, I am contemplating at upgrading my system from a Z490 to a Z690 (same config as yours). I was wondering if it was only a matter of copying a working Z690 EFI over my existing EFI and plugging in the NVMe or if I need to reinstall everything.

Yes that should work. The Z690 platform is quite good.

I was hoping you would say to reinstall everything so that I would not have to spend all that $$$
Need to convince the minister of finances now......

So we are safe to go to 12.3.1? System keeps nagging me.

Interestingly, mine never nags me. But my old hack always did. Is there some setting somewhere which stops it reminding about OS updates?

@CaseySJ Since updating to 12.3.1, my system does not go to sleep automatically. Manually it is fine. What is the command to check what is preventing the system from sleeping? Any suggestion? The only thing I did differently from previous updates is that I used hackindrom and did not reset the NVRAM after update (always did it previously out of havbit but not sure if it was necessary since it was not mentioned anymore in the mini guide).

I have been having sleep issues. It goes to sleep, but keeps waking up; sometimes I am greeted back at the login screen. Here is the screenshot pmset -g. What am I missing?

For sleep-related issues please look through the guide below. If the problem persists, simply describe the various troubleshooting steps you took and their outcomes.

I’ll create a Sleep Troubleshooting Post that consolidates all the advice and feedback that’s contained in this thread. Sleep related issues have been plaguing this thread for the past few weeks. Like a broken record, it’s also getting a bit tiresome. So we’ll consolidate every piece of sleep...

I have fixed my issue with sleeping after upgrading to 12.3.1 by reset the NVRAM if that can help others.

Since we lack a T2 chip, in order to use Sidecar you must use a iMac SMBIOS (not iMacPro) with the IGPU configured as headless so that sidecar can use Intel Quicksync to compress and decompress the Sidecar image information.

If it still does not work you could try installing the FeatureUnlock kext :-

Thanks for that! Because I use Rocket Lake, I cannot use headless mode IGPU but I will try that FeatureUnlock Kext. Thank You.
