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

Hi Pastrychef,

thanks so much for your guide. I followed it to a tee several years ago (2017) and have been up and running ever since. flawless build

Unfortunately, I didn’t take my opportunities to update out of the original Nvidia card that you used on the original iteration. As a result, I’ve been stuck on high Sierra (lol).

While I wait for gpu prices to drop, is there an easy way to use the integrated UHD Graphics 630 to get the rig up to date and running the latest OS?

thanks!

Download the latest EFI (Doesn't matter if you use Clover or OpenCore. Both work.).
Put the EFI on the EFI partition of a USB flash drive.
Pull your Nvidia card.
Boot from the USB flash drive to make sure everything is working.
Replace your existing EFI with the new one.
Fix the SMBIOS info. (i.e. Serial, Board Serial, UUID)
Update macOS.
 
Easy Peezy! Many thanks my friend!

Hi Pastrychef,

Since last OSX update to 11.5.1 I started getting some random logouts, app freezes and crashes (mail app one day). All happening out of the blue, no stressing tasks being performed at the moment of the issue. Once or twice a day.
I had none of this problems with 11.4.1.
I am on your open core 0.7.0 EFI

First one was a sudden logout when I was just going through some files using Quickview.
A few freezes happended also suddenly, the machine becomes irresponsive, maybe the cursor moves but nothing else happens, it remains dead, video signal frozen, until I manually turn the computer off . These did not generate a report.
Today I came back to work and it would not wake back from sleep. Last time I used it was on a remote connection using Anydesk last Friday around 20:30. This time a report was generated:

Looks like something is wrong with storage. Maybe try cloning to another SSD and running from that for a few days to see if you still have problems.

Thanks for the insight, I'll try to do that.

OpenCore EFI updated to version 0.7.2.

All kexts updated to latest release versions.

As always, I suggest testing the EFI with a USB flash drive before deleting your working EFI.


Update:
If you need to boot in to versions of macOS older than Big Sur, stick with OpenCore 0.7.1.

After agdpmod=pikera addition, and after using my old USB kext (I appear to be using the wrong USB2 port on the motherboard, 11 rather than 7? I have a 4360 PCIe wifi/BT combo on this one, so internal USb2 header rather than M2 USB2 connection, perhaps?) OC72 booted flawlessly.
 
Hi @pastrychef
my hack works great thanks to the amazing work you do, thank You!

I have a minor issue I would like to fix though, today for the first time I connected an ethernet cable, went to the network tab in configuration expecting to see the ethernet adapter turning green, but instead, it said the cable was disconnected. I use WI-FI through the Broadcom BCM94360C2+M.2 adaptor, that's why this is really a minor thing.

Then I tested the cable and router to be sure everything works ok, and it does, I connected an old MBP, from those times when laptops came with RJ45 ports, and it worked right away. I also booted my hack to the windows disk, and it picked the ethernet connection too.

Once I restarted and booted to MacOS again it started to recognize the cable, but for some reason, it seems it can't reach the DHCP server, it says status: Connected, but: Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet. Of course, the self-assigned IP is not in my subnet range. I tried to force it using DCHP with manual IP or even completely manual, but definitively it doesn't work.

I am running Big Sur 11.5.1 and OC 0.7.2, exactly your EFI configured with my Serial number, UUID, Mac address and pikera boot argument.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks again
Jorge
