Hello, pastry. I have an Asus Prime Z370 aii motherboard with an i9 9900K CPU and a 6600 XT graphics card. Searching thru the forum, I found this https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-asus-prime-z370-a-i9-9900k-pro-audio-build.276446/ which the closest to what I have, without the thunderbolt and media thing. Somehow, your setup is a bit close to what I have as well since your board is a Z370 and the same CPU.
I am new to this and not so savvy. Any advice on what to do because your EFI folder is recent but different from my board...while the link I pasted above is old, and I don't know what to change. Please help me build my first rig. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.
My EFI should mostly work for any Z370 motherboard. The things you have to change are:
- The USB port configuration. Delete the /EFI/OC/Kexts/USBPorts.kext file and do your own USB fix for your motherboard. Instructions on how to do your own USB fix can be found here.
- The other thing you should do is open the config.plist and delete everything in the config.plist > DeviceProperties section. The only thing you would lose by doing this is that System Information > PCI would be unpopulated. That stuff is just cosmetic and won't affect performance or stability in any way.
As for your Thunderbolt, search around the forum. There are different ways to get it work. You can work on getting Thunderbolt working after installing macOS.
