Z790 advice

It is in slot 5.
I jumpered the top and middle pins
Tried tb3-th2 into tb2 to ethernet, plus OWC TB drive

Thanks!

USB on the GC-TR doesn't work on boot, has to be replugged.

Card appears to be working fine, but there are two configuration issues:

1. AppleVTD is not enabled
   • VT-d in BIOS must be turned on
   • DisableIOMapper in OpenCore Kernel Quirks must be turned off
2. Thunderbolt Hot Plug SSDT needs to be configured for PC00.RP09

I used Hackindrom and adapted the port(it's RP09 in my case)

As in PC zero zero? Rats. Missed that.

Ha! Fixed. It was the DisableIOMapper quirk... Quirky.

Much obliged, CaseySJ!

But TB devices will not survive sleep and will need to be replugged...

Can this be fixed?

If you have 20-30GB free space on an existing SSD, it may be a good idea to try this:

• Create a new APFS volume using Disk Utility and call it "Ventura"
• Install Ventura into the new volume
• Boot the Ventura disk and check sleep/wake behavior
• Afterwards we can boot back to Monterey, run Disk Utility, and delete the Ventura volume with the "-" icon

Re-reading the guide thread for your board, you may be the first to use a Thunderbolt AIC, and possibly also the first with VT-d enabled. It may be worth to look at the ACPI tables to check DMAR and look for handlers related to sleep/wake (the last part is above my pay grade though).

Does networking work as expected through the Aquantia card, and through the on-board Realtek NIC?
