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

So i modified the clover plist to boot in verbose and that works fine. I cant seem to get verbose mode going when installing OS X however I was able to show log, unfortunately I cant save it because it freezes. The issue seems to happen when nodes are assigned. I get (manually copied from screen):

UID: 0, EUID: 0, GID: o, EGID: 0, PID 584, Proc: osinstallersetupd
ODSessionRelease request, SessionID: 228CAF0E-4DE3-8526-D75003918DD0
ODSessionRelease completed

then freeze.

I don't know what that refers to.

Z390 is different... Not sure if your motherboard can reboot correctly or if USB is fully functional with my EFI. At the very least, you should install EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts as that seems to be a requirement for all Z390 at the moment.

Is XHCi handoff supposed to be disables in bios?

I don't remember. I'm not at my desktop right now... I think I have it enabled. Please see post #1.

When you say “my efi”. What are you referring to and where can I get it?

I am using same board as you I think. And where do I get those scripts and how do I install? Do you a link to a post that explains this?

My EFI folder is attached to post #1.

You are using a Z390 motherboard. I'm using a Z370 motherboard. Z390 is, at least for the moment, more difficult to get macOS running well.

You can use the Clover installer or MultiBeast installer to install EmuVariableUefi-64 and RC scripts. The MultiBeast installer can be found in the download section of this site. The Clover installer can be found at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/

Post #1 has a lot of information that you should read.

Ah ok, maybe I should try another DP.
But I don't think that it will help me with the coil whine problem.

In Windows 10 I have no problems with coil whine so I would say that the card is ok... annoying

I think the fan patch kext thing decrease the core clock too?
Because that is the solution for my coil whine problem.
I decreased the core clock and now it's quiet.
Just for someone who has the same problem (and uses a watercooling solution).

 

[RumpelHumpel]

Yea good point. I will try this kext for some time. BTW I made a mistake that the kexts I upload last time had max TDP set to 80%. I will attach one below with Max TDP set to 150%.

I give your kext a shot...
Because my vgtab created kext for my vega eliminates coil whining but it seems, that my card is in failure mode now.

No. Have you tried disabling hibernate and Power Nap?

Today I cleared the cmos on the motherboard and I now have sleep if I tell it to go to sleep. It still won't sleep on it's own, though.
Anything here....??

I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

I agree /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ works really well for me. Zero problems.

I now have all Hack kexts in "other" and start-up is faster. I also installed a new BCM943602CS WiFi/Bluetooth card with PCIe 1x adapter and have both WiFi and Bluetooth working again. I will see if the sleep/wake problems continue. To be continued...
