To everybody else, I will post the new EFI later tonight or tomorrow morning as I just need to make a couple of tiny changes before I do so. What are the changed components in the new EFI and when do you release it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudioGod Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Im going to do a guide for the Gigabyte Z390 Master next but the EFI is almost identical bar a few small changes and the DSDT/SSDT. Guide and settings wise everything is the same so should I expand this guide to include the Z390 Master and have a second EFI and DSDT section or should I keep them separate and make a new guide for the Z390 Master? Its you guys that I might confuse doing this so please do tell me what to do as I value all your opinions and will go with whatever the majority think.

Try removing the boot argument agdpmod=pikera This is using Mojave not Catalina right? its possible the EFI doesn’t play friendly with Mojave anymore but I highly doubt that would be the case.

Removed everything but dart=0 . The opposite , running the older EFI with Caty perfectly runs w/o issues. Maybe the latest Caty betas are different here I recommend not to replace the EFI in your guide currently until it's clear what's wrong here.

Il do that. tbh there’s a major bios rework that’s just come out for the Z390 Master and the pro and on the master The layout is so much nicer and asus friendly like and I now have the option to change the bios aperture so that means you can now raise the bios memory allocation from 256mb too 512 so no more need to use slide=0 when using with the igpu and your never see a random KP failure to allocate memory at boot up ever again. Whoever added that to the bios was thinking hackintosh when they did it... its allowed me to change over to smbios 19,1 with my igpu enabled and I can now use Sidecar with no lag or stutter...it’s perfect.

AudioGod Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 @texem I forgot to say, don’t be tempted to update to the latest bios just yet as they have made so many changes that my current DSDT is totally wrong for it, It may work but all the tables are totally off now. I’m going to need a volunteer to update to it at some point and then do a F4 extract and send it to me so I can get a new DSDT made for you all. I have gone full on Z390 Master now so I’m doing things a little blind at the moment lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texem Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 hi again, thanks for the info abt new BIOS. Just flashed it and made the settings I had before with F10. Well, z390pro here works as usual. Sleep etc w/o issues etc etc. DSDT is the MalD0n patched native NVRAM release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work but the tables will be all over the place. I don’t advise it brother. Ask MaLd0n to compile you a new dsdt or better yet press F4 at the clover splash and extract and send me the files and il get it done. @texem do you have the option to change the bios aperture in the bios now? if you do then raise it too 512mb Edited October 29, 2019 by AudioGod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudioGod Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) I have now updated The EFI again for Catalina 10.15.1 to stop the system going to a black screen at install. You are now totally safe to update Catalina Using This EFI. Updated 30/10/2019 - Use with Bios revision F11 Only (Catalina 10.15.1 Vega, Navi, Radeon VII DSDT Installed) - Use with Bios revision F11 Only (Catalina 10.15.1 RX5XX DSDT Installed) PLEASE NOTE - Please flash your motherboard bios to revision F11 to use my current EFI. It’s a major rework of the bios and vital changes have been made to the layout and power tables. New DSDTs have been created and installed into the new EFI’s but will not work correctly with any other bios revision.

Busy season has landed at work Yes all bios settings remain the same. For Sidecar to work you need to have your igpu enabled and also use smbios 19,1 plus your need the boot flag slide=0 and then Sidecar will work. as for you oc, be warned as the new bios is so different that none of the power tables are the same so your overclock will more then likely need fine tuning again because of it. It’s a good thing though as the new bios is miles better Edited October 30, 2019 by AudioGod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
