MSI PRO Z690 A DDR4 + i7-12700K + AMD RX 580

[aol]

Installed Ventura and my machine (running this build except with a 6800 XT) doesn't see the Ethernet controller at all. Can't add it. Hackintool just shows the wireless card as en0. Any suggestions? Monterey on a second drive sees the Ethernet controller fine (did apply the force to 1000 fix above to get it to work in Monterey).

Very strange.
I have the same mobo, there isn't any troubles with Ethernet (i225-V) in Ventura.
I tried this one in Ventura beta - all OK. Last night upgraded my Monterey 12.6.0 to Ventura - the same. Ethernet works on 2500 fine, without fixing the speed.

1. What OC version are you using?
2. Do you using the last mobo BIOS?

Hello NorthAmTransAm I have an MSI z690 Force and a 12600k I already own and I am considering giving it a go , i will also be using the 5700xt from my Designare z390 build , is there a chance your EFI would work for me ?

I'll be updating towards the end of November as i've got some Pro Tools sessions to run and can't risk something not working. Keep scouring the forum though, I bet you you someone else has the same ethernet controller issue as we'll all be updating. Most likely its something super simple.

@danofun thanks for the kind words! I've had a busy touring schedule since June so i've been a bit absent but plan to dive back into this stuff as soon as i'm back. Thanks for keeping the thread alive and being helpful.

@Nikos87 this would be a sweet machine for you. My EFI, though not completely current, should work fine for you just read over post #1 as there are some nuances and knowing how it works is crucial--we are our own troublshooters. Also I believe you'll need to add the boot arg

agdpmod=pikera

for your 5700xt. Is that right @Feartech?

Hi @sonny362 thanks for the response, and others.
I'm using OC 0.8.5, which I created by basically syncing the sample config plist in the 0.8.5 release back to the plist from @NorthAmTransAm 's 8.0 config posted in this thread. There are actually very few changes, mainly, they removed a few things. I'm using the same MOBO BIOS as posted in this thread, configured exactly the same, because when I started tweaking things, I started getting WindowServer crashes (that could have been bios tweaks or config tweaks, the 8.0 EFI posted in this thread is slightly different than the config as described in OP; I am using the 8.0 EFI config).
I would say the only significant difference between my system and the OP is that I have the 6800 XT GPU and I run dual monitors over DP ports. In fact this had been the main weirdness I had not resolved, when the system boots, only one monitor comes up, and the second monitor doesn't come up unless the system sleeps and resumes, or I manually replug in the second monitor.
One thing I'll try right now is booting Monterey on this 0.8.5 config.

Edit: booted Monterey using the 0.8.5 config, and Ethernet works fine, and shows up in Hackintool under peripherals as expected. I guess I need to look in the logs for messages around Ethernet.

Hi @aol.
I'm using OC 0.8.5 too, and my Ethernet is written in DeviceProperties only:

PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1c,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)
<dict>
<key>AAPL,slot-name</key>
<string>Internal@0,28,0/0,0</string>
<key>device-id</key>
<data>8xWGgA==</data>
<key>device_type</key>
<string>Ethernet controller</string>
<key>model</key>
<string>Intel Ethernet controller i225-V</string>
</dict>


It's enough to Ventura for me.
I can upload my EFI to you, if you need it.

I'm using two monitors too (HDMI + DP connectors on my GPU). Do you're using direct cables without and adapters? macOS is very sensitive to any kind of adapter. I have similar trouble with monitor connected by HDMI-HDMI cable with DP-HDMI adapter (under Windows all works fine), i changed this to cable DP-HDMI - all works fine.

Thanks Man! will give it a go and report back. My next move is going to be purchasing a TB card. I read in post #1 that the best bet is the Titan Ridge. Is Maple ridge a complete no go, or is it a matter of some features not working? All I need the TB card for is to connect the Apollo X4 and that’s it. So I am likely to avoid flashing the Titan.

Even without flashing I find it safest to roll with a GC-Titan.
