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

Thunderbolt Ports not working, please help. It says no drivers are loaded.

It will never say it's working there. Check PCI.

Thanks! It's showing something in PCI, but my Thunderbolt 2 Gtech RAID isnt showing up when connected via Apple's Thunderbolt 3 to 2 Adapter.

What works for me is to shut down and unplug for about 30 seconds. Turn on device or plug it, then plug in computer and boot. Good luck!

Ahh, does that mean hot plug isn't working with this build?

Mine does but when coming off a cold boot you have to start this way. Restarts are fine. Let me know how it goes. Could be something else.

Those screenshots indicate a more fundamental problem. Please check that you have both the Thunderbolt SSDT and SSDT-DTPG in your CLOVER/ACPI/patched folder.

Edit: Your SSDTs are fine. Please double check Thunderbolt BIOS parameters, especially Thunderbolt Security.

Can anyone recommend any hard drive controllers that work natively with Mac OS so I can add extra hdds to my system?

Yes, please see this:

can't get the nvram to enable even with emuVariable installed. Install the RC scripts too.

Thanks for responding. Here are my BIOS everything looks good.

**Side Note - Do you know why I'm locked out of editing the CPU frequency? (I attached photo of that too)

I can vouch for the one below. Fully loaded it with 4 drives. And although the description is misleading as it is not PCI 3.0, it works out of the box and it still should be ok for HDD. I think any card that has the same Marvell 88SE9215 chip on it should work out of the box.

I noticed though a little funkiness when I'm booting from it , but I'm still able to. Even that does not matter as in my case I do not really need this feature.

The only other thing I can think of are the alternative SMC kexts you’re using. Have you tried the standard FakeSMC?
