AudioGod's Aorus Z390 Pro Patched DSDT Mini Guide and Discussion

@panosru don’t install RC Scripts when using native NVRam (Aptiomemoryfix.efi) 

as for what is going on with your wakes from sleep. It does look like something connected to your usb chain is causing it. Have you tried disconnecting all your devices bar your keyboard and mouse and see if it helps so you can see if that’s the cause!

@AudioGod, I think you misunderstood me mate, no one blamed the EFI you made - for which me and many others are thankful - all I'm saying is that I try to find a way to stop those random wakeups during sleep and so far I haven't found something that would make them stop.

 

Cheers

hey buddy that message wasn’t for you it was for artstp1 lol

I'm trying to do that, it takes quite a lot of time to isolate such an issue; thus I thought that if I share the problem, somebody who have the same might have already found a solution.

How strange,

I have 2 usb hubs on my build, one coming off the usb 2 hub and the other coming off the rear usbc and I’ve never had any disconnecting after sleep from them on a pro or master board and I have 32gb of ddr4 @3600mhz and it’s all fine on my end. Hhhmmmm

Strange for me too. I have 2 similar desktops with same hardware in the signature. I use USB-C hub "Satechi All-in-one ports" and have the same problem after sleep on second desktop. You don't have problem with Corsair Vengeance Pro? May be you could show your memory steppings?

yes of course you can bud.  

im not in front of my hack right now but once I’m back home il copy them out and send them across to you.

 

@artstp1 sorry I forgot to say, no I have zero issues with my Corsair pro ram. It’s rated at 3466 and I do a gentle oc on it too 3600mhz (16 18 18 38)@1.37v

Edited December 4, 2019 by AudioGod

[AudioGod]

@artstp1 are you using XMP enabled on your memory without any other changes  and using slot a2 b2? (Furthest slot from the cpu is b2)

if not then do so and try again, also manually set your ram voltage to 1.35v and give it a try.

AudioGod is a master. That was the easiest build/boot/install hackintosh I have ever done. I was about to give up on Hackintosh, but your EFI made it a breeze. Thank you!!!

 

I have a couple of questions. I have the same motherboard w/ Radeon Vii. Do I need to do the CFG Unlock (MSR) F11 BIOS Profile? What is the advantage of it? My system seems to run pretty well with your recommended BIOS settings.

 

Also, in order for me to get audio from the line-out on the motherboard I have to select "Internal Speakers" on System Preferences. Is this normal? There are two "Line Out" options on the preferences window that seem to do nothing.

 

Thanks again!

I’m glad it’s all working well for you buddy, that’s awesome  

internal speakers is correct yes and if you running sweet as you are then there’s no need to unlock your MSR but it doesn’t hurt to do it all the same. 
Enjoy

The only thing I've noticed is that when playing back footage in FCPX and in Resolve, the playback within the app is not smooth. It seems like it drops frame rate and there is a delay in the audio. I have my monitor connected via HDMI at the moment. When I render it's super fast though. Will unlocking the MSR help? Again, I have a Radeon VII. Thanks.

that sounds more Internet, WiFi or Catalina related then anything else to me.

if your using the kext airportfixup then try removing it and reboot and try again or if your not using it then try again with it in place. 
it could also be related to the dreaded DRM issues within MacOS at the moment, if that’s the case you just got to sit tight until It gets fixed via Apple or WEG or both.

The only Benefit to having your MSR unlocked really is to give more space allocation to the NVRam. Since it’s only a very simple matter of loading in a bios profile then really you should just do it anyway fella.

Thanks for the help. Removing the airportfixup kext corrected audio sync, dramatically improved playback performance and overall feel of OS and mouse is more fluid. Playback is still not 100% smooth, but that may be because I'm using a 4k TV with HDMI. I will test later with a proper monitor via displayport. Thanks mate!

hey guys, I have two old 30 inch apple Cinema HD Monitors, and since my RX 580 only has one Dual Link DVI Output  would like to add a second GPU to my Hackintosh. I already tried with a display port to DVI Adapter (from Club 3D, unfortunately it does not work). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to pull that off? what do I need to consider when adding a second GPU like a RX 580 again? What changes do I have to make in the Clover Editor? (Sorry I am a newbie to Hackintosh)

 

Thank you in advance

This is the only adapter I know works with Dual Link DVI. I use it with my Radeon VII and my 30" Apple Cinema Display. Works perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003XYBA72/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_iRr6DbB3XGZ2X

well,  I already spent almost 100Bucks on an adapter (https://www.club-3d.com/en/detail/2479/displayport_auf_dual_link_dvi_i_aktiver_adapter/) which supposedly works with the apple Cinema HD Display, so I would much rather buy another rx580 which costs me 200 Bucks and I would have additional computing power for final cut and other projects...

thank you though.

you have made some strange changes to the EFI bud.

why are you using keyboard and mouse usb kexts? smchelper. audiotex. DataHubDxe, bios folder ?

you dont need any of these to use my efi. a lot of what your trying to do is already done by the DSDT and ssdt. Take your config.plist and try it in a vanilla version of my efi and see if you get the same if not better result. 

Also Change your audio layout from 1 to 7 under devices

Ok man, thnx 4 the info. I will cleanup and post results.

Ever since installing fresh on an NVME, I've had intermittent problems with boot, where sometimes I get the NO circle slash sign, but then after restarting it would boot. Now suddenly it won't boot from the NVME at all. I don't have any problems with my regular SSD. The NVME is a WD blue 500GB. Just incase, I downloaded the NVME express driver but still no boot. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank you.

Thanks for tip. I started in verbose and it says on screen.

And it just hangs.. bummer.

It’s Failing allocation of native NVRam. Are you running smbios 1,1 or 19,1?

I'm running your EFI, I think 1,1, and I updated the motherboard with the CFG unlock as specified. As I said before, it used to boot perfectly from NVME, but then after a while, the NO CIRLCE sign would pop up sometimes, but would easily be remedied by a restart. But all of the sudden it won't boot at all. I wonder if it has to do with the WD Blue NVME and maybe I should buy a Samsung NVME. It boots fine from regular Samsung 860 EVO SSD with identical EFI. Thanks!

Just wanted to thank you! I am pretty new to hackintosh and with your guide i got my build up and running in less than one hour.

All the best

Hi fellas! 

 

First of all, thanks for the build and the dsdt, my machine now flies ! 

 

only problem is with the sleep... Did everything, but I won't find the cause. When I try to put the computer in sleep, it immediately wakes up. Strange, as I used your efi, running on a i9900k, vega 64... Strange! 

 

Thanks anyway! 

[Filmluver]

I solve the no boot problem. I started to have the no boot problem with my regular SSD as well, no boot sign. So I reset my BIOS to optimized and then the recommended setting, and I went back and checked KernelPM, and it boots perfectly on both drives.

 

It was the CFG Unlock profile that was causing my problem. So this BIOS profile and method does not work for everybody. Let's see if she stays stable. Thanks.

what actually happened is you reset your bios and as a result it reset your nvram resolving the problem. I was going to say earlier to pull your battery and then reload your settings and that would of had the same effect. you can also press F11 at the clover boot screen and this will also reset your nvram but pulling the battery is always the most effective way.

 

I hope that clears it up for you buddy.

Hi are you by any chance using a Corsair AIO on your build?

If so then that's what's causing the wake from sleep problem. disconnect the internal usb connection to the AIO as its not used in MacOS and not needed and this will fix the issue straight away.

If however your not using one then disconnect all your usb devices apart from your keyboard and mouse and see if that does it and then trace what device is causing it.
