<< Solved >> Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 - Can't update beyond F11

[DmitriZigany]

Hey!

I'm trying to update my Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard to a newer firmware, as I think those add support for newer i9 8-core CPUs. (I have the i7-8700K).

But everytime I update beyond F11 it won't boot macOS... the Apple-logo comes up and the load bar but then nothing happens... was the same in Mojave and also now in Catalina.

Anyone had success with this? What can be done?

I had the same issue when I updated to the F14 bios. Solution here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-for-boot-hangs-after-bios-update-acpi-patch.275091/
