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

[bluestarstudios]

Hello @bluestarstudios

Because professional audio is not GPU intensive (unlike pro video), any system product name is okay. As for platform ID, we should always use an AMD GPU if one is available, even an entry level model. If discrete GPU is absolutely out of the question (it is a tough market for GPUs) then iGPU is okay, but some glitches might be encountered (although these are few and far between for most people now).

So AMD GPU with Platform ID 0x3E980003 and any recent system product name such as iMac19,1 or iMacPro1,1 is okay.

Good to know! Since I have an AMD RX 580 with an i9-9900, I went with the iMac19,1 with Platform ID 0x3E980003. Seems like it was the closest setup. Thanks!

I think you're going to really like that machine for a DAW.

Just upgraded from Catalina with Clover and F8 to Monterey with OC 0.7.7 on new fresh M.2, everything seems fine so far. Sadly, Chelsio 40gbe nic drivers don't work anymore. Oh! I noticed some strange artifacts happen to the YouTube videos when playing. But for like few seconds the whole picture becomes like pinkinsh violet and comes back. I tried to replicate it by going backward in the video but nothing. So I suspect it's something with rendering, or decoding.

My setup is iMac 19.1 - RX 580 - shikigva=80 maybe someone knows something.

EDIT1: Strange both my LAN ports work even if the description said it would not.
EDIT2: Attached screenshot of artifacts

EDIT3: Managed to fix it with NVRAM reset, now everything looks okay. Just strange issues with RX580 DP port with (DP to HDMI adapter) on boot doesn't show 60Hz, but after replug, it shows 60hz...
EDIT4: The artifacts apparently are related to overclocking CPU... After everything was working I went back and did my overclock and it returned back...

@CaseySJ do you know how to start an OC Machine with ALT+T so that the machine starts correctly in Target mode? Apparently even correctly selected the Target Mode option, the hackintosh restart in the same way as normal boot.

I had this problem with a Samsung 950 Pro NVME drive. The issue went away after I cloned to a WD750. I believe it has to do with the firmware on the drive.

Hi @CaseySJ,

I have finally updated to Monterey and OC .7.7.0. But now, my startup time is between 3-5minutes long. Not sure what's going on. Can you help me please?

Please see the release notes related to Monterey in the OpenCore 0.7.7 Mini-Guide.

Which version of macOS is this happening on? Was the AVB connection stable in an earlier version of macOS? Which Ethernet device are you using? Is it Apple's Thunderbolt-to-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter connected via Apple TB3-to-TB2 adapter? Do you get stable, reliable Ethernet connection over...

To determine if your system has the problem, simply post the output of this command:

log show --last boot | grep "trims took"

You must be using a Samsung NVMe SSD, hence trim is taking 186 seconds or 3 minutes. There is no known solution other than replacing Samsung with a different brand such as WD. The WD 750 series are an excellent choice that many of us are now using.

It is possible to clone the Samsung SSD to a temporary SSD X, then erase the Samsung SSD and clone SSD X back to the Samsung. This should reduce trim time considerably, but that time will grow progressively over time.
