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

Did you install using the CH341A method? That is my plan later today since I can't get the windows installer to work.

Yes it has to be installed with CH341a. I used a Pomona 5250 SOIC clip and was pleasantly surprised that it worked on first attempt. It can be difficult to read the flash chip so if you’ve not done this before, be very patient and very gentle with the clip. Some folks have accidentally dislodged nearby surface mount resistors, so exercise patience and extreme care.

Great, I have the Pomina already waiting for the Noyito CH341A, should be here today...

Is anyone else having Bluetooth breaking after a long sleep? Just started in 12.3.1.

I'm using the Broadcom from the guide BCM_20702B0

Try disabling both of the following, then reboot:

• config.plist --> ACPI --> SSDT-USBW.aml
• config.plist --> Kernel --> USBWakeFixup.kext

Some questions:

• What is the make and model of your monitor?
• Which type of connection are you using:
  • DP to DP
  • HDMI to HDMI

• BenQ PD2700U
• Mini DP to DP

Did the update last night. Seemed to go smoothly, but Windows is throwing a fit. Says "device instance not migrated from prior O/S." Going to dig into this a while and see what I can figure out. Can always flash back to prior version.

(I have 3 Z390 Designares so I can have one down for a while to learn how to make this work)

A flashed Thunderbolt firmware is known to cause problems in Windows and possibly Linux. We state this warning at the top of the Thunderbolt Repository.

I know, but I figured the file from Gigabyte was safe (I used the orginal .BIN they sent me). On this machine Thunderbolt is not make or break for me, but on the other two it is.

The original file they sent you is very likely safe. But the 4 bytes I modified "voids the warranty" so to speak!

Can I use the umodified file to update my FW firmware in Win10? This didn't work? A bad idea? My TB is currently not completely stable so I was thinking of redoing the TB FW anyway.
