[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

This DSDT is for macOS and may not work under Windows or Linux.

Exactly, so this could be an issue for some (like me and @totototo), but my knowledge of DSDTs is nowhere near enough that I can figure this out on my own

It’s not necessary to modify the default Gigabyte DSDT in any way for Windows (because it is already configured for Windows). But at this time OpenCore does not have an option to specify different configurations for different operating systems. Clover, for example, only injects SSDTs/DSDTs when booting macOS. A future version of OC might resolve this.

A future version of OC might resolve this.

I read somewhere that older versions of OC had this feature, where you could select a DSDT based on what you were going to boot, but said somewhere this was removed, so I doubt they'll put it back in. I hope we can somehow figure out how to get a DSDT that works both with native nvram in macOS and allows for Windows booting.

Have you tested the same hub on a Windows machine or real Mac? I wonder if the hub itself is misbehaving. What happens if you plug 2 or 3 USB flash disks (not SSDs)? Flash disks have lower power requirements than SSDs.

Another suggestion is to use a USB Type C to Type A adapter and see if it works on a Type A port on the Designare or even on a Windows laptop.

I'm gonna try to go the adapter route. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help!

FWIW, FCPX is working like a charm in Mojave with this OC test. It rendered a 1080p 42 minute timeline to ProRes in 5 minutes. The "Send to Compressor" render to HD 1080p took a little over 53 minutes to make a 4.82 GB QT 1080p file from a 45.33 GB master file. IDK why the hangs on Geekbench 5, Cinebench 20, and Restart, but not on FCPX or Compressor.

FCPX Rendering Timeline to Master File: SL i9 9900KS 4.9 GHz, AVX = 2, 1.225V.



RX580 totally slammed for 53 minutes:

• First, turn off the system and flip power switch on PSU to OFF for 10 seconds. Power back on.
  • Are Bluetooth and Thunderbolt working now?
• If not, download and run IORegistryExplorer and select File --> Save As....
  • Then post the saved file. It will give us a closer look at your system configuration.

Turning PSU off and back on again seems to have fixed the Bluetooth issue. Seems to work now.

For Thunderbolt the System Information says: "Thunderbolt: No drivers are loaded."

The output file of IORegistryExplorer is attached.

I was looking for the switch to prevent DSDT from loading under Win10. I did not know it was removed. Can you guys show boot options while holding OPT button? Just like a real Mac.

Please compress and post the Clover folder.

Thanks Casey
this is my clover and a pic of a error message at the bios boot. have you ever seen that?
really thank you for your help

You have to be really quick and precise, press the button just after the boot logo disappears, but it is doable. You can use ALT or ESC on a non-Mac keyboard.

Man, and I was even willing to upgrade to F8 to give this a try... But as I have both Win 10 and 7 on here and need them operational, that's a no go... Please keep us posted on the development of this issue, as Clover is definitely not behaving for me now, won't boot the last booted volume option, which is annoying when you are testing and troubleshooting and having to constantly reboot to the same OS

Thanks guys for the work and effort put in thus far!
