The everything works Asus Z390-I Gaming * i7-8700K * SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX Vega 64 Build

BTW, the Catalina patch rolled out yesterday (?) prevents my machine from booting.

It should install fine.

What do you mean by this exactly? "Any ideas if this is specifically for the strix board only?"

What I mean is that will this trick work with MSI or Gigabyte boards? The swapping of the CNVI wifi

I had the same issue you have to remove whatevergreen or use agdpmod=pixera as a boot option.

On a case by case basis who knows except the people who have the motherboards you are describing and that is not happening here in this forum. Meanwhile there are several routes you can follow to get wireless/Bluetooth working natively especially if you have an open PCIe slot.

See this post for one example, there are several options. Just google them.

Sounds like you have your answer....something in your USB setup. Modmike’s config.plists both have patches for USB for this board. He also has the prepatched DSDT but you aren’t supposed to need both I don’t think.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just actually amazed about @ModMike trying to do this out of curiosity it worked for the people here. I'm building a small form factor PC and this board might be the best to get for full macOS experience by having that WiFi card swapped out. Can't afford to use the 2 x M.2 slots for the WiFi since I'm gonna be using both the slots for my NVMe drives and there's no room for adapters and stuff for my SFF case (ghost s1). This guide actually made me jump to SFF since everything from the motherboard works by just swapping the WiFi card.

For Catalina... Can I simply update and then boot from a new EFI Folder or do I have to make a complete new install?

I had to remove whatevergreen, and it boots however DisplayPort does not work.

Has anyone using this build managed to get their system to boot with a 5700 XT installed. I have upgraded to 10.15.1 Update 2, and I can't get it to boot at all. It freezes every time. If I install with a RX 570, it works fine.

That’s what I did initially, and had no major issues. I’m now re-installing Mojave and upgrading again - need to debug my BT.

Thanks, I’ll do that after my reinstall
