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

Hi, I have a little question. For quite a while now, I have noticed that, every now and then, my Noctua NH-U12A only has on fan running out of two after booting. I have two other fans in the case, so I had to use a splitter for the ventirad. Anyway, when this happens, I open the case, unplug the one cable that does not bring any current, plug it back and the fan spins. I was wondering if there is a setting in the BIOS to increase the voltage output for fans.

Hi,
Just updated to OC 0.8.5 successfully. However, I've noticed that when I changed to 0.8.5 in OpenCore Configurator, it asks me if i wanted to choose MOD, what is MOD version? (I choose Official.)

Assuming if I get brave enough to try Ventura next week I will need OC 0.8.5 at the least? I will probably do a CCC clone first anyway, but when a new OS comes out I get both brave and careless, so I was hoping you guys would save me from the pain, especially those of you who have been successfully using the beta.

Hi all and @CaseySJ
I recently changed my SMBIOS with iMac Pro 1.1 (previously with iMac 19.1) and was able to get hardware acceleration on VideoProc Converter.
I am wondering if there is a major issue moving to iMacPro compared with iMac 19.1 for other purpose I would not be aware.
Thanks for your help as usual !

Unfortunately voltage output on each fan header is fixed in hardware. But there shouldn’t be a problem connecting two fans to one header via a splitter…

Yes we should choose Official. The other option is for an alternative or forked version of OpenCore.

Depending on which version of OpenCore you’re currently using, it may not be strictly necessary to update it first. But it’s generally a good idea to use the latest.

Certain functions that rely on iGPU will not work, such as Sidecar.

I'm on 0.8.2 right now. Of course i'd probably want to update, but I have PTSD after doing an update a while back, and booting to a black screen. Luckily I had a bootable USB to get back where I was, and I think I skipped that update altogether.

For Ventura we need OpenCore 0.8.3 or later. This is available from right here:
