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

I looked inside the box one more time to make sure everything is plugged in, and when I pulled out the bad ram, I forgot to reinsert a plug. MY fault! Sorry to waste your time on that one; it's all back in working order. Many thanks for your patient guidance!

Trouble shooting step #1: Is it plugged in?

Hi all,

Anyone update to the latest OC 0.8.5 on this MOBO yet? Since I went from 0.8.1 to 0.8.3 and the latest 12.6 OS my WIFI issues have returned (network slows down/hangs and need to reboot or turn WIFI off and on), my USB 2.0 ports/hub are laggy, and I’m getting corrupted/glitchy video renders in DaVinci Resolve when exporting H.264/265.

If 0.8.5 is not an option, does anyone know if OC 0.8.1 works well with OS 12.6? I’m not completely sure whether this is a 12.6 thing or an OC version issue.

Thanks for any insight here.

Just updated to 0.8.5 and everything is good again!

Spoke too soon. My h.264 renders from davinci resolve are still glitchy. Works fine on my "real" mac running same versions.

Oh that doesn’t look good!

Fortunately, most name-brand memory modules have lifetime warranty. If you have the purchase receipt, I would recommend filing a warranty claim on the manufacturer’s website.

It did that recently for a pair of faulty G.Skill DDR5 modules, which the manufacturer replaced very quickly.

Sadly, I'm still having freezes, though not as bad as before replacing the bad ram. I can usually force quit everything and restart. Ran Memtest86 again, got a clean bill of health. Also ran Unigine Heaven to see if I could replicate the freeze with GPU stressing, but no. How should I trouble shoot this?

Morning - apologies as I am sure this has been covered before but I am struggling to hunt down the right posts in this thread....

I have been running my build for the past couple of years, all well apart from the odd boot issue. So seems to be running as follows:

MacOs BigSur 11.4
Opencore 0.6.2

I would like to upgrade to Monterey without breaking anything - this is my daily driver... If I clone the drive for backup as per the guide - can I simply do the Software Update to the new OS or am I likely to kill this build? Just want to keep it all simple!

You would need to update OpenCore.

You would need to update OpenCore.

Thanks! Hackindrom is suggesting update to 0.8.3, shall I do this first before the software update or after?

Yes, please copy your existing EFI folder to EFI partition of a USB flash drive (emergency boot disk) before upgrading to 0.8.3.

Are the first two screenshots showing graphics glitches?

• Which version of BIOS is installed?
• If you have Windows or Linux on this system, do graphics glitches and freezes occur there as well?
