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

Please share your experience with the above EFI and Ventura installation

I have been using it with Monterey for nearly six months now and it works quite well. I just needed to make some adjustments to make it work with my DW1560, which also works with all features (wifi, bluetooth, airdrop etc).

Last weekend I pulled the trigger to update to Ventura and it took less than 30 minutes to complete.

So I can confirm that EFI works with macOS Ventura for our motherboard.

I also am currently using DW1560 and on Big Sur and never upgraded to Monterey as there were problems regarding long boot time (as I have Samsung NVME drive) and WiFi/BT problems with DW1560. In fact I was afraid and stuck to Big Sur. But as you are using it with Ventura I will try to upgrade to Ventura directly. Can you please share your Ventura EFI.

Sure, here it goes.

As far as the slow boot problem, the only solution I found was to replace my Samsung drive with a Western Digital one. I am not sure if Ventura has the same issue as Monterey, but if you test it please let us know how it goes.

My Bluetooth is working but not connecting to any device. It is able to discover the devices but not connecting. I have tried 3/4 different devices not connecting to any, please advice

I found that the problem was a setting in Boom3D a sound enhancer program. Now BT works!
Also there is no boot delay with my Samsung 970 evo nvme. I have put SetApfsTrimTimeout to 0 in Kernel quirks. With this I am bypassing trim I don’t know the effect on my drive but there is no delay
Thanks

@inarush I am not able to airdrop from my Hack to my iPhone or iPad but reverse is possible. Please refer to this post which describes the same problem. AirDrop Problem Link

Also when I eject the EFI it gives error that it is in use by some other programs. Are you facing such problems? Any solution? EFI Problem Link

Yes, the one-way airdrop issue has been reported by multiple users: check out this link.

As far as I know there is no official fix. I personally faced this issue as well, but updating to Ventura 13.0.1 last week solved it. Give it a try.

I am already on 13.0.1, so for you two way airdrop works? and what about the EFI eject error. Are you using bluetoolfixup.kext?

Hi everyone
I have several disks with different mac installations on them
From the bios I know how to choose which hard drive I want to boot
but since opencore I don't know how to do it
Can someone explain to me how to choose to boot from the hard drive I want.
Thank you
