pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

You are not supposed to get any output from the UHD 630 because it is set up to be "headless".

If you want to use it with a monitor, you have to change ig-platform-id to 3E9B0007 and device-id to 3E9B0000. You also need to change SMBIOS to iMac18,1.

If you have an RX 580, you should not do this.

You can use VideoProc to check if acceleration is enabled.

Sorry... I'm just testing.
I will only use the RX580

I have some new problem. After set up the Bios, the hardware is accelerated,
But the system can't wake up after sleep.

When go to sleep my ram when dark, so I think it went to sleep correctly.
After 10 sec I try to wake it up, I move my mouse I ram begin light,
I can access it's file via another Mac By network ( but can't get the screen share from vnc)
But The screen is still black, I try to reattach the HDMI cable, It doesn't work.

I also tried to disable hibernatemode
Code:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0


It still can't wake up after sleep.
I remember before change the bios, wake/sleep works well (I'm using asus z390-i, shut down and reboot still works fine)

I using someone else usb-dsdt (also z390-i, it works fine. the speed now is at 5Gbps)
Is this affect?

I don't know if the usb-dsdt has anything to do with it...

There's still a lot about Z390 that remains a mystery...

Have you tried using a different HDMI cable? Bad cables can cause a lot of problems.

Please enter the following in to Terminal and post the output:

pmset -g log | grep -i failure

The terminal says

2018-12-18 16:09:02 +0800 Failure Drivers Failure during wake due to PEG0():
2018-12-18 16:22:09 +0800 Failure Drivers Failure during wake due to IMEI():

So, it's clear where your problems lay. Make sure that GPU and IMEI are configured correctly.

Remember to try a higher quality HDMI cable too.

LOL, After adjust the plist. Sleep/Wake works fine.
Thanks for your help~

Update:

I mistake the BIOS problem as plist.
After run serval test and I am sure this time.
Its BIOS setting cause can't wake up. And the most likely is the cpu overclock setting

1. To access BIOS/UEFI Setup, press and hold Delete on a USB Keyboard while the system is booting up
2. Load Optimized Defaults
3. If your CPU supports VT-d, disable it
4. If your system has CFG-Lock, disable it
5. If your system has Secure Boot Mode, disable it
6. Set OS Type to Other OS
7. If your system has IO Serial Port, disable it (I can't find this and just disable Advanced\pch configuration\ IOAPIC 24-119 entires somebody says it's the same)
8. Set XHCI Handoff to Enabled
9. If you have a 6 series or x58 system with AWARD BIOS, disable USB 3.0
10. Save and exit.

After doing this and without modify the plist. It can sleep/wake
But also something weird happens:
When I put the system to sleep. It sleep and wake works well. But after doing this and reboot system. The bios went to safemode
and says the system is not stable (has been attached)
Without sleep and just reboot. The system works fine.

So.
I think I still with 2 problems.

1. sleep cause reboot into safe mode
2. BIOS setting cause can't wake up after sleep (most likely is CPU overclock setting. Later I will make sure if it's OC or IGPU 's fault)

When troubleshooting, it's best to run at stock frequencies.

there is no logic what you say ... you read somewhere about overclock but I do not think you understand anything ... the only point in your list is related to overclocking is 2 ... the rest are different

Sorry. Just new to hackintosh.
I mean I follow installation guides. after install kext/dsdt. Almost everything works fine.

as I mentioned problem 1.
I can reboot system perfectly without issue.
But after sleep and wake.(sleep/wake works fine at this time) when I reboot the system the BIOS will enter safe mode. And says the system is not stable. (Not overclocking at this time)





as my problem 2.
I make my 9900k/OC5.0/1.29v/load-line Calibration level 6/Maximum CPU temperature 115/CPU C-states disable
It works pretty well at Windows.When idle is 40C, and I also have tested it for 2 hours by p95. the temperature will stay at 90C (since I use an itx case)
After OC the CPU, it seems work fine at mac 10.14.2. I have use it for one week without any strange things.
Until today. I tired to put it into sleep. Then it can't wake it up. The screen stays black and monitor says no signal.

Then I reset my BIOS and follow the guides again. Without OC/XMP/iGPU setting.
It seems sleep/wake well.
So I guess something wrong with my BIOS setting.

By resetting bios to factory default you actually enabled c-states ... where did you read that must be disable?
