Hey @glasgood I've just tested the new EFI folder and I'm having problems with Final Cut Pro again  I'm sticking to the older one.

 

One tip: It would be nice if you posted all the old EFI folders of every update you make. Maybe someone can learn something or just finds it useful. 

 

 

@mfortuna

 

Looks like when I did the PCI import, I must have overwritten device-id. Look at the Device / Properties values in old EFI. You should have something like below, if not the:

 

Add:

device-id 9B3E0000 

 

Update:

 

AAPL,ig-platform-id 0300923E 

 

 

Thanks for flagging this up

Test speakers connected to Line Out jack ?

 

 

And change sound pref to Internal Speakers.

 

 

 

I only have HDMI Output on this window

@Charles375 Try using this config.plist==>> config.plist  and try disable CSM in BIOS.

@glasgood  I finally had a chance to switch board to use the exact same one as yours. I'm running a newer BIOS version but everything works as expected. Looks like you have not updated the uploaded EFI folder for external graphic card to reflect the changes in the device properties for intel 630. 

After I added device-id --> 9B3E0000 and updated AAPL,ig-platform-id --> 0300923E , final cut works fast as expected but I lost the ability to track voltage for the HD630, but as long as it's working fine, then it doesn't matter. I just try to get the chip to turbo boost to 1GHz, It's been running around 600 Mhz on mine.

Excellent guide adapted to my config: AORUS Z390 ULTRA - AOURUS RADEON RX 590 8gb Gaming

The problems its to config frambuffers in the GPU to use multimonitors the DVI-D doesnt work well (flawsy and noisy, blink to black)
Anyone has to manage to config well the ports connectors of this GPU?

[alros]

Hi this guide was amazing, I had issues installing mojave (im a hackintosh noob) but I had NVIDIA card an a Samsung 970 EVO PLUS, bought a Radeon RX 570 and was able to follow this guide. Yesterday I saw someone posted that there was a firmware update for the Samsung 970 EVO PLUS and it works too. Now all i wish is for support for the board wifi and bluetooth on the Aorus Pro Wifi, other than than it works perfect!

If your board consists of inbuilt WiFi and B/Tooth, whilst it will work on Windows side (If Dual booting) it won't work with OS X. You will have to install a recommended card compatible with Apple's specification. If you read through glasgood's Guide you will see an excellent recommended card also a tweak to your 'Boot Arguments' to halt the builtin WiFi B/T card from loading on the OS X side as it will degrade the function of your installed one. Good luck.

@glasgood hello mate! The ABWB 802.11AC WIFI With Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM943602CS just arrived from Amazon and I installed it but is not recognised by the system :/

 

The wifi and the Bluetooth is not working, I mounted it on PCI Express (I removed my TP-Link and placed the ABWB there), and I put the USB cable in 9pin port, but neither the wifi is working nor the Bluetooth

 

I put the card in PCIEX1_3 and the 9pin in HS11 on F_USB2 (I also tried F_USB1) and I used the "Optional - Alternate SSDT 1" from your guide which disables the HS06, SS05 and HS05

 

 I also added the AirportBrcmFixup.kext but it seems that the card is not eve recognised by the syste

 

 

Does it need drivers or something?

 

Thanks!

Is Broadcom bluetooth listed in IORegExplorer under HS11 and in System Report / USB ?  Can you test WiFi device in Windows, Windows drivers can be downloaded via bootcamp.  lastly, you could try a reinstall of macOS.

@glasgood It seems that when I screwed the card on the case, it somehow pushed the card a bit out with an angle without me noticing it, I just noticed it and re-installed it properly, now it is normally detected by the system.

 

The airdrop works fine but the lagging issue I had previous remains, unfortunately.. strange that from what I noticed it happens when I connect my BT keyboard, I have a Matias wireless aluminium keyboard, it works fine with my MacBook though, I guess Matias is not Hackintosh friendly after all... but even without the keyboard, the Bluetooth seems to be a bit laggy, I'm getting some disconnects here and there, and when I reboot the machine i have to reconnect my creative soundbar manually :/ 

 

Update:

It seems that it is not an issue with the keyboard, my mouse is also lagging and the sound from BT soundbar comes "laggy / broken" as well, so I guess it is a general BT issue with my setup which I'm unable to figure out, I re-installed the OS several times but the issue remains.

I don't really understand the why but this is happening to me:

 

Tried the new EFI folder, FCPX boots OK, everything works. When rendering (made the test with H.264) it takes more than the double of time than my older EFI (attached below).

 

Also observed the booting with verbose and it took a while longer (don't know if that is because of first boot with the new EFI and kexts) and saw the lines in the picture attached.

Spoiler

 

 

I've been searching and found that this guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u06QeN6KuRY&t=546s ), with iMac Pro SMBIOS made the AMD GPU work with quick sync and everything the iGPU usually does, achieving better export times. It has to do with a better GPU or maybe we can do this with our RX580-590?

 

Another question: Is it necessary to put in config.plist the GPU properties? If it's empty MacOS just recognizes it and shows it up in "About this Mac".

 

Thanks for reading!

@glasgood as I'm new to Hackintosh world, I'm not really sure how important the SMBIOS is, is it possible that my clover configuration may not be properly set? I'm reading in other forums that the SMBIOS, if is not set properly, may cause a variety of issues, including Bluetooth lagging.

 

My setup is:

Intel Core i7-9700K Box
Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO motherboard LGA 1151 (Socket H4) Intel Z390 ATX (Z390 AORUS PRO REV.1.0)
G.Skill Sniper X Urban Camo 32GB DDR4-3000MHz (F4-3000C16D-32GSXWB)
Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8GB Pulse (11265-05)
 

Could you please check my clover configuration, when and if you got some time? I believe that I have everything properly set, but I'm not very sure

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 

I removed AirportBrcmFixup.kext as it is not needed with your WiFi card. Also removed Brcm flag from boot args.

What changes did you make? The EFI I uploaded was the one that was working before I've updated to your newer EFI

@glasgood Thank you for your time! My issue is not resolved, i believe that I reached a dead end, well I guess we can't have it all working with Hackintosh, so I’ll live without Bluetooth it seems :/

Oh, didn't spot that! Thanks!

 

So it's better for me to stay with this older EFI, rather than updating to your newer one?

Hi! I also suffer from bluetooth lagging. After some research, I found out that there is an interference with the 2.4GHz signal when connecting to 2.4Ghz Wifi AP. You can try disabling your wifi or connect to 5GHz wifi AP and check if the bluetooth still lags, if that is the cause.

Only change in new EFI is updated Cloverand WhateverGreen.kext version 1.2.8 updated to 1.2.9. You can replace your WhateverGreen.kext version 1.2.8 with  WhateverGreen.kext.zip v 1.2.9 and delete NoVPAJpeg.kext as it is no longer needed with latest version of WhateverGreen.kext

Hey! Thanks for the tip! I have turned all my WiFi to 5GHz (except neighbours of course haha)
