soniferous_fox Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thanks very much for this guide, it's very similar to what I want to build and have been putting it off due to so many different guides and getting confused by it all, but this one has made my decision for me! I just wanted to double check something though. I am looking at using the Mini ITX version of this board (Z390 I Aurous Pro Wifi), so I assume I would have to edit / create my own SSDT configuration? Or would it be the same do you think? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onboard Intel / Intel CNVi WIFII /Bluetooth will not work with macOS and you may have to disable HS14 for Bluetooth to function properly on the recommended BCM943602CS or BCM94331CD WiFi/Bluetooth Combo cards. @soniferous_fox Below are EFI's without SSDT and with ports limit patch.

Virtual machines work thru our real machine. Since there are no drivers/connection to the LEDs of the motherboard (or any other component) in MacOS, the virtual machine won't see any of the LEDs. The best alternative is (if you have dual boot with windows) to just pick the colors/configurations you like in windows and then just restart to Mac. That way it stays as configured. But if you try to use some configurations that need comunication with the software (the music mode, or the gaming) they won't work without windows.

panosru Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 @glasgood hello again! I just can't give up the BT issue I have, today almost all day I did troubleshooting, I asked a friend of mine with an iMac to come to my home so I could do proper testing and after further testing, I realised that the BT is has nothing to do with WiFi interference, I even asked my neighbour if he could turn off his router for an hour so I could do some testing, I turned everything off in house, all the bluetooth devices except my hackintosh, well, every BT device worked fine with the iMac and my MacBook Pro, but once it is connected to my hackintosh, it starts to lag as hell. I tried various keyboards, mouses, soundbar, all the same, so now I have to figure out, what exactly in my hackintosh may breaking the BT. Three things that come to my mind: 1. bad SSDT configuration 2. bad SMBIOS configuration 3. Mojave issue? I tried for the SMBIOS to use Mac Mini, I guess without success, the SSDT part is something that I'm not sure how to do and I believe that I could break it and make it worse But at least now I'm sure that the issue is with my hackintosh and not any WiFi interference or BT device... Do you have any idea? Maybe another SSDT config? I'm using the clover config you provided me on your latest reply (re-attached here) CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( removed SSDT and enabled ports limit patch in attached Clover folder below, see if problem remains. ) 2. bad SMBIOS ( I doubt it, maybe not ) ==> CLOVER.zip Edited May 30, 2019 by glasgood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panosru Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 @glasgood again, thank you for taking the time looking into my config, I replaced my clover with the one you provided, but the bluetooth behaves same as previous very laggy :'( :'( I have turned off all WiFi signals and also all bluetooth devices except the one I want to use and the lag is there I don't know if there is an app that I could run diagnostics to get more info in order to find out what exactly is wrong with the system...

I asked this because I have a hackintosh running today where I use a watercooler nzxt x42 and I can control the lighting perfectly with the Windows virtual machine, although I have windows installed on another SSD, sometimes the virtual machine is better to make small changes. I also have a corsair k68 rgb keyboard, and I can change the lighting colors through corsair software via virtual machine with windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgood Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) @panosru Also worth disconnecting and reattaching antenna cables. You could also try switching position of antennae cables on the card, to rule out any faulty wire that is connected to card. Looking at the photo of your desktop setup your desktop hackintosh is a small distance away from your keyboard, did you try testing keyboard directly next to your hackintosh desktop computer? ( what happens if Hackintosh is placed on floor, under desk, directly below keyboard ) Possibly RF signal could be degraded on USB3.0 bus, hence the lag, if you have external USB storage remove it and test. Did you try testing USB keyboard dongle( if applicable ) on a USB 2.0 port ? Do you have handoff enabled, if so try turning it off and see if problem persists. Also noticed you are using a multi-monitor setup, I assume refresh rate has nothing to do with this, but can you test keyboard with hackintosh and one monitor and have all other devices turned off.

eSaF Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 If I may interject - That particular card whilst it worked somewhat with previous OS X versions can be a bit laggy at times or will be continually searching for connection specially after wake/sleep. I have one and since 10.14.5 it became very hit and miss in operation and was preventing my rig from the sleep function. What I did to overcome the problem, I removed the wifi/bluetooth module and fitted it to a 4 arial PCI-E adapter I had (like the included pic) and all my sleep and connection problems were solved. Reading through the post I would hazard a guess it's the card that is causing the problem. By the way the module must contain 4 connection for the 4 arial attachment, failing that, I am afraid a new suitable card preferably one with 4 antennas will be needed. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. @eSaF Not exactly sure how many antennas @panosru has on his wifi / bluetooth combo card. The image I used was used for point of reference regarding antennas. Good to know, regarding your previous experience with PCIe adapters with less than 4 antennas. I'm using a BCM94331CD from an iMac ( it required AirportBrcmFixup.kext ) with PCI-e adapter and don't have any problems with sleep / lag. 6 minutes ago, soniferous_fox said: Brilliant!

One last thing, is there anything specific in there to do with the Wifi/Bluetooth card? It's just that with the Mini ITX version, you can only use the Broadcom DW1560 cared (replacing the one that is already in it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok buddy gotcha - I am not using the AirportBrcmFixup.kext and it is working just great - before with the 3 antenna one when I attempted to put the rig to sleep, on restart it would be forever searching for wifi connection. Since I swopped out the card, I put the rig to sleep for roughly eight uninterrupted hours without it suddenly turning back on and the wifi connection is instant when I induce wake. Again I can't thank you enough, without your Guide and MalD0n's DSDT clean up I'd be still pulling out the few strands left on me barnet. Are you dual booting with windows? The reason I am asking I am searching for version 6 Bootcamp drivers but cannot get hold of them. Edited May 31, 2019 by eSaF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, you have a problem! looks like you wont be able to replace the wifi card on Aorus Pro Z390 I WiFi. From what i now know, only cNVI cards are supported so your only other option would be using USB Wifi dongle and you won't get things like Handoff, iMessages working. Possibly may want to consider an alternative board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panosru Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) @glasgood and @eSaF First thanks a lot for taking the time to help me troubleshoot that issue! I appreciate it! The card I bought is this: I bought it from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00MBP25UK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has two antennas. I'm not using WiFi, I'm connected with my Ethernet cable but on testings I did, the WiFi works fine. My Hackintosh is about 130 - 140 meters away from my workspace with an angle of about 34 degrees (from point A my workspace where I have my kb and mouse and point B the position of my card). I just disconnected all devices from the computer and left only my wired keyboard, my wired mouse, my Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth mouse, so far is laggy, I will give it a bit more time for testing. I haven't tried to place it under the desk below the workspace, I will do that for testing, but to apply it I will have to disassemble the furniture and remove the wires because I did some hard cable management to embed everything... I have two USB dongles, and I tested them on both USB 2 and USB 3. Handoff is disabled. I already did a test with one monitor only, but still the same. When I connect only one device, for instance, my mouse, it starts to work fine, some times for few seconds some times for few minutes, but after, e.g. 5 minutes, the lag comes back. I haven't tried to disconnect the antenna cables and switch position; I will try it, could you explain to me a bit more what exactly should I detach and which cable place where? @eSaF , I'm not that good with soldering, I'm afraid I might damage the card I will turn off the computer now and remove the card to take some closeup pictures and upload them here. Thanks!!! Edited May 31, 2019 by panosru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try, Place Hackintosh on floor, under desk, directly below keyboard and power off MacBook. Power up Hackintosh computer with only essentials connected such as keyboard and mouse. And test if lag persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panosru Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 @glasgood I put the computer under the desk and so far I haven't encountered any lag with any of my devices... At that point is feeling that combines joy and sadness together... What I will try now to do is to put back my TP-Link WiFi card which works fine for the WiFi, remove the ABWB card, and place a USB3 hub under my desk (which is already there) and mount a Bluetooth USB dongle on it (ASUS BT-400) and see if that will do the trick, so I could have my computer there where I intended to place it and the USB dongle under the desk, it might do the trick..

So possibly related to poor signal strength from WiFi combo card. If you can, don't rush yet to change anything. Confirm latest set up with no lag is good before changing anything else.
