You can automatically unmount Untitled Windows Volume. Using Apple Script below:

 

tell application "Terminal"
    do shell script "d=\"/Volumes/Untitled\"; if [ -d \"$d\" ]; then diskutil eject $d; fi"
end tell

 

Compile and save as Application as UnmountUntitled

 

Then add UnmountUntitled Application to Login Items.

 

 

 

 

Then when you login to macOS the volume Untitled will automatically be unmounted.

 

 

Attached below is the created application  

 

UnmountUntitled.zip

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All work fine, thanks Glasgood.

Hi, thank you very much for your guide everything is working except hdmi audio on rx 580.

Followed the steps but it seems not to work.

What can I try?

Thanks again for this great guide!

does this card allow you to duplicate the display on several screens?

 

Is macos optimized for this? the graphics card rx 590 install it will continue to work? or is it just an extension of UHD 630?

 

I have several screens, what's the point of a card like this ?

I did not use the card for display output. I use the card to connect to my thunderbolt storage for video editing work. The video output is handled by the UHD 630 and you will need a fully functional onboard card for it to work. MacOS should work with any Titan Ridge Thunderbolt card.

I got 3 4K display screen connected to my vega 56 and that's all I need. 

 

@glasgood One quick question: I have random blank screen (white/ grey) while using the hackintosh. Not sure what's happening here. Do you encounter something like this before?

I've installed the Sapphire Nitro RX590 SE on my Hackintosh and I can't make it work with my monitor. It's a little old one LED LG, with only a VGA port...

First I had a HDMI to VGA adapter (passive) and it just rebooted my GPU (so my PC also), both in Windows and MacOS.

Today I bought an active DVI to VGA adapter, tried in Windows and everything working just fine. But when I booted in MacOS (with @glasgood EFI folder for RX580) the OS booted, but in the minute clover finished and the Apple logo with the black background showed, everything was violet / pink color. Also the screen goes black and on in cycles, a little glitchy sometimes.

Finally I've changed the DVI to VGA adapter to a DP to VGA one. Everything working ok! Thanks!

 

 

Do you use any app for checking GPU usage and temps? I've tried to boot with FakeSMC kexts in clover/kexts/other and could't boot.

I'm also getting an error when opening Final Cut Pro or iMovie. I found that if I turn of iGPU from BIOS both programs work fine but I loose hardware acceleration. Did anyone have this problem?

Hello everyone.
Can I use this guide with this settings for my hardware?
- Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro
- Intel Core i5-9600K
- WD Black SN750 500GB WDS500G3X0C
- G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x8GB DDR4 PC4-25600
Connection via HDMI.

Or for this configuration I need to use other settings?
Thanks for any answers and help.

I followed your guide and choose mac mini because it uses the coffee lake processor just like mine. Everything works fine but I have problem with H264 hardware encoding. 

I tried the iMac and it works. I think adding 0x3E920003 to ig-platform-id makes it works. 

 

What was your final config?? I've tried only adding the ig-platform-id and Final Cut Pro started working, but in activity manager I don't see the iGPU anymore (in Intel Power Gadget) I can see that it is working, don't really know how.

When exporting with FCPX I have both dGPU and CPU working. Should't it be only dGPU?

I think it should work! Just follow this awesome guide. The BIOS setting are very important and use HD630 files since you don't have another GPU.

You should see both CPU and iGPU and dedicated GPU working. I can see the UHD turbo boost up to 1Ghz sometimes while rendering using FCPX.

When using Adobe products, things are a bit different

Depending on what format you are using. I'm using a lot of H264 encoding videos, so I'd love to have hardware acceleration for those encoding task. This is the snapshot of my Adobe Media Encoder while it's running: 

 

You can see the Hardware Encoding for H264 is running.

I believe the video is for High Sierra. Things changed quite a bit with Mojave.

No, possibly because I have RX580 and no Thunderbolt card. Did problem persists before adding the Thunderbolt card?

Should work, try preinstall Aorus Pro Z390 EFI Intel UHD630.

@glasgood I have the problem before the thunderbolt card. I see the monitor randomly turns white or black during extended heavy load time (my temperature is within normal range, max 55C, Vega max at 62C) 

For the sake of my mental health, I will buy the same board as you haha. Having too many small hang during work is not good for my heart haha. 

I'll be trying Final Cut on the new update and let you know if that works fine after getting back from business trip. 

Thanks a lot for your hard work.

All working with 10.14.5, Clover 5.4.4.0, 19,1 iMac here!  Admittedly, a lot of teeth clenching and crossing fingers as it updated.
