Hmm... I'll have to check it out later and get back to you...

Please try downloading the EFI again. I had an error in the config.plist.

Great man, as always you solved problems.
VT-d enabled and bluetooth works, .... everything works.
Thanks

Hi, I was having the same issue when enabling vTd (even though I don't use any virtualisation software I wanted to follow your recommendation of activating it in bios): lack of response on keyboard and bluetooth magic mouse once in the macOS login screen.

I have downloaded the new version again as you recommended to snoopy69, but I loose keyboard and mouse if vTd is enabled. I have done it twice just to be sure I was not making some mistake (I also recharge the page just in case).
Only thing I've done is add piker and my serials. I have above 4G decoding active as in your bios pics in post #1
The rest seems to be ok, so I am not worried about vTd for now.

Hi Pastry, I also updated to the newest version, Bluetooth etc. works with VTd enabled, but at the boot screen I cannot select to clear the NVRAM because the keyboard doesn't work, neither BLuetooth nor cable. Any ideas what this could be?

EDIT: OK, now I enabled CSM. Then I could use the keyboard on the startscreen and clear NVRAM, but then neither keyboard nor mouse was working at the login screen, buth via cable or bluetooth. Then I disabled CSM and voilà, I can clear NVRAM on start up and I can login via bluetooth and cable.

I don't know why you are having USB problems... I tested on a system with File Vault enabled and the keyboard worked fine.

We'll, I´ll try again, all is good without vTd. I understand it is optional to enable.

In the meantime: I have managed to fit my two gpus! All is running super smooth now in Cinema with Octane. Still doing test, but I feel very happy today thanks to you, this rig and your continuous help.

I am going to try now some overclocking and see how far I can pull and if having the two gpu does seriously affect cpu temp.

Hi again, regarding the EFI. I notice a flashing text in the top left corner since using the latest 0.7.4 version, I have finally taken a pic of it.
I don't´think I touched anything in the refi other than serials and adding pikera arg, could you confirm?

I'm not seeing that on boot. It just goes from the Asus splash screen to OpenCore Boot Picker without incident.

Hi @Goiniro ,
if it helps I took screenshots of my BIOS, I have these settings for a long time and everything works for me. After the last @pastrychef correction of the config.plist it works wonders. The only thing I do is replace the USBPorts.kext with mine and in the config.plist under 'DeviceProperties' I enter my devices and add the Injection of AMD Vega Power for my video card.
