Gigabyte Z690 Aero G + i5-12600K + AMD RX 6800 XT

Hi there @CaseySJ , @beelzebozo

I've currently under testing a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX with an Intel i7-13700KF and a Sapphire RX580. The mobo's BIOS version is the initial one, F2. In this BIOS have the Re-size BAR support but I don't have the Above 4GB MMIO BIOS assignment and, consequently, I don't have the Aperture Size either.

I'm experimenting a second cycle sleep/wake failure: it doesn't go to sleep and I have an instant wake or (it depends on whether I've cleaned the NVRAM or not) a crash (CPU fans go up, dark monitor and I have to reset). The first cycle of sleep/wake is working perfectly: monitor goes off and after ~30sec both the CPU and GPU fans go off.
Any hint on the instant wake on the second cycle? I upload my config too.

I'm a newbee in Gigabyte motherboards. It seems to me that their BIOS is quite different from ASUS's, and it's less sophisticated ... so maybe I'm making some mistakes. I've just added my bootleg because I'm not sure all the ACPI tables are correctly loaded.

Update the BIOS and check.

F3 and No luck... now I have MMBIOS field but no Aperture ...
and the system has the same behaviour ...

I just upgraded my CPU from an i7-13700KF to an i9-13900K. Ventura would crash at the beginning of the progress bar. I had to enable Above 4GB MMIO BIOS ASSIGNMENT and Re-size BAR support. Have not noticed video problems but I don't know about sleep yet. In the past it wrecked havoc with sleep.

Also, the i9 is running really hot. 45 degrees C at idle. Geekbench 5 pushed it to 100 degrees. Should i be concerned at these temperatures?

What are you compiling it with and what case/setup?
 
@beelzebozo
now just tried with F5 but the situation is exactly the same as F3 BIOS version... 2nd cycle of sleep/wake failure... any other possible solution?

Update to the latest version.
 
F5 is the latest…
Either GA forgot to add it into the BIOS settings or you may need to try not using Resize bar and check.

Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX is a different motherboard than the one in the thread topic. ‍

You can also open a support ticket with GA and ask them if the setting will be enabled at some point.

Is there anything that needs to modified to Opencore before upgrading or even doing a fresh install of Ventura? I tried upgrading from 12.6.3 to 13.2 and while it went through, the system just crashes and restarts once inside Mac OS. When trying to do a fresh install of Ventura, I don't even get passed the Apple logo; however I can chose with partition to boot from.

Why does my EFI work perfectly fine with Monterey but NOT with Ventura?

We should upgrade OpenCore and kexts. I believe 0.8.3 is the first version to support Ventura.
