Hello,

I've been successfully installing Big Sur 11.2.3 on my system as the following:

System:
  • CPU: Intel i9-10900
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Z590i Aorus Ultra
  • RAM: 64GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR4-3200
  • Storage:
    • ADATA SX8200PNP 512GB
Config:
  • Bootloader: OpenCore 0.6.7
  • SMBIOS: iMacPro1,1

Everything works, bluetooth, wifi, sound and video. Debug is disable. Bluetooth is spamming log with some buffer error, so I turned it off.

Upon checking on SSD Smart statistic ( How to install Smart tools ) I found that it has written over 5.7TB of data in the span of 5 days, over 1TB / day. Is it normal behaviour? I have mac mini 2018/512GB/64gb for over a year, it had written over 1.34 TB only. If this trend continue, my SSD will die in about a year or less since it will reach the maximum TBW (tbw about 300TB).

sudo smartctl --all /dev/disk0

I was wondering if something is missing. From activity monitor, the reading is normal, data written in 1.5GB.

My config.plist is attached.

I'm looking for any feedbacks, it's really appreciated.

Hi @maxxx, can you please attach your EFI folder here?
 
Hello, the problem went away by itself. I changed some component to
i9 11900KF // RX 6900XT // WD SN850 1TB / change the wifi to BCM94360NG. SMBios iMacPro1,1
Now I'm having problem with sound, ALC1220VB. I tried layout-id / alcid: 1-100, nothing seems to work.
My EFI is attached.

Thank you for the help.

Hi @maxxx again, can you explain me how you make it work front M.2 slot and 3200Mhz RAMs to work on Z590I?
The manual says clear it is not possible with 10gen CPU, only with 11th. I tried myself to put NVMe on front M.2 slot Z590I VISION D and my disk just doesn't appear in BIOS / Boot menu. I didn't tried higher frequency RAM's because manual says it is not compatible. Where is the catch here?

Did you need to spoof the cpuid to get the rocket lake cpu to work?
 
Hey @maxxx I have create a similar build (Gigabyte Z590i Aorus Ultra; replace original WiFi card with BCM94360NG).
At first I have installed windows and there only BT is recongnize - WiFi adapter was not found.

Do you have any idea? I have post this question in another forum where I get the answer that it is not compatible.
 
I am in the middle of a project with this same motherboard. I want to change the m.2 wifi card but I cant figure out how to get the shroud off the i/o panel. I took out every screw I could find but still it wont budge.. Can you let me know how you were able to remove it? Is it glued on?
