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

[telepati]

Honestly, based on my experiences with Z390, I'm hesitant to recommend any z390.

Anyway I bought TUF Z390-PLUS

Hi @pastrychef, I'm having problems performing a clean installation on my Hackintosh with your same MoBo but with an i5-9400F, I described the problems I'm facing in this post here, can you give it a look? Thanks

Use the latest EFI in post #1.
Change system definition to iMacPro1,1 in config.plist > SMBIOS.
Try adding "agdpmod=pikera" (without quotes) to config.plist > Boot > Arguments.
Install macOS.


If the screen goes black during installation, try unplugging and re-plugging the monitor cable. If that doesn't work, just leave it alone and let the installation complete. You can see if there's activity by watching the drive activity light on your case. To prevent sleep, randomly press the shift key on your keyboard.

Amazing, the first time didn't worked it just rebooted and looped into a kernel panic, 2nd time it worked like a charm. Thank you.

EDIT: Everything works just fine except for Sleep / Wake, when it enters into the sleep mode it actually sleeps (everything turned off) but just after a couple of seconds all the hardware turns on again followed by the sound of a maximum exhausted fan spin (GPU) for a second but the computer is not awake in fact I need to click a button to show the login screen. If don't press any button it just loops into this procedure of Sleeping > Wake > Maximum GPU Fan Spin > Sleep Wake > Maximum GPU FAN Spin and so...
I'm also noticing that the fans of my Gygabyte RX 580 are always spinning, I remember that in the past they used to spin just when using Photoshop or other softwares which uses directly the GPU acceleration.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

First, apply one of the proper USB 15 port limit fixes. Then check sleep again.

Of course I did, I'm using your EFI, sleep feature is still broken.

USB seems to be your problem.
