[Success] b1's "Mac Mini Killer" with macOS Mojave: i7-8700 | Gigabyte Z370N | RX560 | 16GB RAM

„But why do you call it „Big Smurf“?“
„Because its design is intended for smurf usage – both technically and UI-wise – that’s why.“
To quote Youtuber Peter Paul Chato commenting on the default wallpaper...
"It looks like a clown barfed on my LCD screen."

There any good reason to move up to F13 BIOS?
 
Yes. Read this thread to find out why, it has been discussed multiple times.

Found it - sounds like a security thing and a good idea - going to give it a go now.

Have people on the z370n-wifi with a Coffee Lake CPU needed the patch?

I saw @pastrychef say he never needed the patch for the updated BIOS on his builds.
Anyone else have experiences either way on this MoBo?

Thx

@Rajkhand thanks for sharing it and sorry for the incredibly slow response - my Hackintosh is my production computer and I need to be careful not to risk any important project.

With your USBPorts.kext I got all the rear USB ports working and providing full energy when charging phones etc. I even managed to updated my Big Sur version 11.2.3 to the latest 11.5.2 without any glitches in USB ports.

However, none of the front ports are working. If it's not too much to ask, would you be able to map the following ports?

Code:
HS01/SS01 - Bottom front USB2
HS02/SS02 - Top front USB2


#HS03/SS03 - Bottom port # This is removed
#HS04/SS04 - Top port # This is removed


HS06/SS06 - Top port
HS05/SS05 - Second top port
HS08/SS08 - Second bottom port
HS07/SS07 - Bottom port


HS09/SS09
HS10 - Bluetooth

Thanks a lot buddy!

just try this out and test as the name suggests. it does not have the USB C. if this works I'll be able to give you what you want Very Important your SMBIOS should be 19,1 if it is different give that value as this kext depends on it. Port 11 is front side USB 2

Many thanks for the prompt response @Rajkhand!

However, even with your kext the front ports still won't respond to any device connected. It's not hardware malfunction since they work fine on the Windows partition.

I wonder if I have to make any changes on the .aml files as well?
 
@inarush ok it works now on my computer!!!

@inarush So did it work for you? At least give some timely reaction so the people helping you know that their time and effort was worth it.
