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

[CaseySJ]

...
Shortly I’ll test Ethernet ports on my existing OWC and Belkin Thunderbolt docks, and on my existing USB-C dongle.

Update:

• Gigabit Ethernet port on USB-C dock works properly in Monterey
• Gigabit Ethernet ports on both OWC and Belkin Thunderbolt 3 docks work properly in Monterey

I am having an interesting problem that has just started happening. Whenever I boot, the only drive that finder recognizes is the main OS drive. Any internal or external drives don’t show up. Disk utility doesn’t see them but they show up on the sata and usb screens of system information. Any ideas? Did several restarts, unplugged, reset NVRAM. On Monterey with OC 7.4.

** Experiencing Slow Boot Times in Monterey? **​

Please try this and report your results:

I have a Samsung 970 EVO plus 500Gb. Read/Write speeds are ~3000Mb/s, so no complaints there. Tbh I never bothered with the boot time, which is 27 seconds from OC-picker to login. But then again my mid-2009 MBP (max spec 3.06Ghz ) boots faster than that..
result:

So trims took 18s, about half of what others posted for a 1TB Samsung 970-type drive - makes sense I guess

PS: I got the gigabit i211-port working with @Shaneee 's modified 'AppleI2xx.kext' - works flawless so far, but have only tried for a few hours.

Unfortunately my boot time is around 60 sec. Sasmung Evo 970.
But everything else seems to work just fine.

Hello,

Sorry for the noob question.

Would it be possible to have a mini-guide to install Windows 11 and dual boot ? I’m afraid to do it without messing my efi partition or else.
(Thanks again Casey and others for the best support, everything is running so smooth for years update after update..)

Only Big Sur is installed on M1 Nvme disk . (OC 7.4)
I have a sata SSD that could be used for Windows but i rather keep it for storage if possible.
Can i partition the Nvme disk to install Windows ?
If not, can I install Windows on the sata SSD without removing the Nvme disk (someone built the pc for me)
Do i have to change bios settings ?

thanks for your help !

1. Get Hackintosh up and running with opencore
2. Get another SSD to install windows 11 on.
3. unplug the hackintosh SSD while installing windows 11.
4. when windows 11 is working fine, plug the SSD with MacOS back in, and set that as first boot device.
5. Find both your volumes in opencore picker, and control + enter the MacOS Partition, cause it's highly illegal to have windows 11 as the primary boot.

This is the easiest way, to prevent f**ing up your boot. =)

Good morning everybody, @CaseySJ , I need your help. I have Z390, 5700.. 970pro. I made Monterey boot disk, boots perfect, but on the first boot the screen goes black and boots the system, getting in a loop. I'm using EFI 0.74, original without changing anything, only the machine configuration numbers 19.1 .. Can you tell me if I have to change something? I'm trying to do a clean install.

where did you find the ethernet driver? I googled it and checked Shaneee's posts and didn't see it
