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

[DJ4MC]

UPDATE:

** macOS 10.14.4 Update **

Just completed the update to 10.14.4, which went more smoothly than the previous two updates. From System Preferences --> Software Update let macOS download and install the update for you. Please make a full bootable backup of your existing system. The "Installing macOS" screen will appear twice with the message "X minutes remaining". There will be a sudden reboot after the first appearance. Let the system reboot itself ("Boot Install macOS from Mojave" at Clover) and this time the update will proceed to the end and provide a graceful 8 or 10 second reboot countdown.

When the system restarts, macOS will automatically rebuild kernel caches, so the startup time will be about 30 seconds longer than usual. Subsequent reboots will resume at normal speed.

Unfortunately, this version does not recognize the i7-9700K processor:

If you have an i5-9600K or i9-9900K, please check this field. The new iMacs come with either 9th generation i5 or i9 processors, but not i7.

Well, I wasn’t so lucky lol. I’ll sort out tomorrow. I get to clover boot from “install Mac OS” after first reboot but hang at an appleHDA error.

UPDATE: I disconnected all my TB3 drives, my USB audio interface and an USB external drive, booted up finished install (Rather Quickly). I verified it is Mac 10.14.4. Processor still shows "unknown" but I am iMac18.3 and as long as it is stable, don't plan on changing. @CaseySJ thanks for the suggestions!

Could this be related to an incorrect setting or kext?

We don't require AirPrtBrcm and PatchRAM kexts for this card. No third-party file of any kind is needed, which is what makes these BCM94360-series cards so valuable to the Hackintosh community. So the problem you're seeing is not software-related.

Where did you buy the card? This one is not from Newegg, right?

 

[CaseySJ]

Guess Newegg dropped the egg on the floor and made a mess. Maybe they've just gotten too big since they've gone global. That's a lot of territory to cover.

It might not be Newegg this time!

Jules, I wonder if it's a good idea to unplug all Thunderbolt and non-essential USB devices. I hope you made a complete (bootable) backup ahead of time!

I’ll try that. I see them all get mounted in verbose. I have a non bootable B/U... I’ll have her back in 30 min, worst case lol

I too updated to 10.14.4 and it went well.

I then changed in Clover, the model from iMac18,3 to iMac19,3. I ran Geekbench 4 and saw no difference in speed (both tests were run after converting to 10.14.4). But I only changed the model, no change in SN, etc. and I don't know if other values might affect the outcome.

Is your i9-9900K recognized in "About this Mac"? Or does the CPU appear as "Unknown"?
