[GUIDE] macOS 13 Ventura on Z390 Aorus Elite with RX 6600 and OpenCore 0.8.6

[markmn89]

Yes, it depends of the motherboard, not OC. I have 2 NVMe, one for macOS and one for Windows 11, OC can boot both entries from the picker.

USB issue are commonly related to the USB port mapping. My map can have issues on your motherboard. Do you have your own USB port map?

i have to find a guide online to do that
i have the same motherboard, it is strange

[HOW TO] USB ports map for macOS with USBToolBox

How to generate USB port map on Windows for use on macOS, which has a limit of 15 ports per USB controller, using dhinakg's USBToolBox. This is currently the easiest method of generating the USB port map for macOS with the only downside being that you need a Windows system on the same machine...

I attach my current map, you must use the 2 kexts, USBToolBox must be before UTBMap in config.plist, remove USBMap or USBPorts or USBInjectAll (if exist). Try and comment.

Got a small problem, my ethernet connection is working only at 100mbps, have you ever heard something similar?

No, mine is at 1Gps, maybe the port in the router is only 100?

Nope! Tried to change port and cable

EFI updated to OpenCore 0.9.0

There are 4 config.plist files for different SMBIOS:

• config-13-imac-amd.plist: iMac19,1 + dGPU AMD + iGPU enabled in BIOS
• config-13-imac-intel.plist: iMac19,1 + iGPU enabled in BIOS as main card
• config-13-imacpro.plist: iMacPro1,1 + dGPU AMD + iGPU disabled in BIOS
• config-13-macpro.plist: MacPro7,1 + dGPU AMD + iGPU disabled in BIOS.

Remember to fill in your serial and ROM numbers (they are empty).

Note: UTBMap.kext (next to USBToolBox.kext) is made for Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite. If you have a different motherboard, you must have your own USB ports map.
