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

[Anto65]

it must have been OCAT's fault 

 

seriously if you have mapped with the kext , try change in the Info.plist also the smbios there

All right good to know...

So I switched to MacPro7.1 and it seems to work, but my USB ports doesn't work, same here for Bluetooth. Stopped right before the login. Any idea why?

 

I attached my EFI maybe it is needed for better answering. (My EFI is 12MB for some reason)

You need to edit your legacy kext for usb ports. I'll take a look at your bootloader in the morning.

200% encoding speed ??!! WoW....Now you have my ears 😈

So, acutally I should better move from iMac19.1 to MacPro7.1 with my setting? (I don't care about DRM)

 

LoL with Navi and without weg, I encoding a 4k movie 'bout 300% faster than with iMac19,1 smbios ... The "200%" is not a law, is only for make a reference! 🙂 But , yes, your encoding will go faster...

You need only 2 things in mind:

 

1 )    You need to edit info.plist on your USB kext if you have it:

(that i prefer instead of ssdt mapping 'couse it's simply ti do and to set correct connector like 0usb2 ; 3usb3.x ; 255internal&bluetooth ; 10usb-c)

and change change "iMac19,1" with "MacPro7,1" under IOKitPersonalities section and on model key, you need to have like in pic:

 

2 )    Make your own CPUFriendDataProvider.kext for CPU Power management

 

 

in EFI that i make for a friend @panosru, i've create a CPUFriendDataProvider.kext for his i7-9700k ...if you have same CPU, it's ok to use It...instead, you need to create a new one... Follow the CPUFriendFriend guide in Corpnwet GitHub and you have your kext for PM for you CPU....

 

 

And, After this blablabla , yes, with MacPro7,1 your hack have much performance (if you have a decent GPU) but this, at cost of a little more work with EFI...(cpufriend etc) 😁

I do not use OCAT and do not recommend to others. I set it up manually. So there is nothing to say about this utility.

But the procedure is correct.

OCAT is ok...but i'll prefer manual method too...just to learn some "how's to" on hackintosh world 😄

2/3 consideration with your config...

• you have BCM943602CS, you don't need airport, brcram etc kext at all, so, remove it. Your card is using Apple driver.
• you, like many user i've see in a long hackintosh time, have much bloated in device properties...in this area you need to put only not detected PCI and relevant modify to PCI... NOT all kind of pci list just for have a cool "PCI section": system go instable and slow. So, in case you use MacPro7,1 as your smbios, remove ALL of them*.
• WEG, if you need it, need to be, in load order, the second after Lilu.
• If you have other SSD in your rig, verify they use TRIM in system preferences, otherwise, set "ThirdPartyDrives" to "True" in "Kernel/Quirks" section. Your ssd greetings you... xD 
• If you use Windows (maybe 11), set "CustomSMBIOSGUI" to "true" in "Kernel/Quirks" section and set to "Custom" instead of "Create" the smbios method in "PlatformInfo" section, this for prevent Windows load ssdt if you start it from OC bootloader (if you start it from f12 bios or if you don't have Win, simply leave it like now).
• if you want to use MacPro7,1 and don't want to improve manual memory config, use restrictedevent.kext.
• With your GPU, try removing Whatevergreen.kext and related bootargs agdpmod=pikera (THIS ONLY FOR TEST AND ONLY WITH MACPRO7,1 SMBIOS PLEASE, if MacOs reach the desktop, you don't have to use it anymore...WEG rename PEGP in GFX0, good for iMac but MacPro7,1 have PEGP and not GFX0 so...).
• Add some kind of reset nvram to your drivers: "ResetNvramEntry.efi", add to your drivers list in "UEFI" section (not in tools), in "TOOLS" add "CleanNvram.efi" (wich is on tools directory in opencore  release folder) and remember to grant it "full nvram access".

 

reboot and if all is ok, live in peace with your "FakeHackMacPro7,1" xD LoL

 

...i upload for you, your usbmap revisited (set corrected MacPro smbios and corrected HS type for the first 3 port...)

USBMap.kext.zip

 

*if you use iMac19,1 , simply leave IGPU headless spec for QuickSync if you need it...

This is not necessary for his hackintosh. His productivity will not increase from this. I did this plugin once for my i7-8700 and i5-9600K. Productivity from this has not increased anywhere. For such processors, it is more for increasing the stepping of the processor, especially the lower threshold.

But this plugin helped me with the Xeon E5-2678v3 processor.

Yeah I have two SSD. One for Windows and one to backup my “FakeHackMacPro7,1” with CCC xD

USBMap.kext added (thanks btw 😘 , but now I don’t any have sound, or does it have to do with WEG?? )

RestrictEvents.kext added (but still getting alert message)

ResetNvramEntry.efi and CleanNvram.efi added (cleaned and resettet with new efi)

WEG and bootarg removed (and it works without them)

Sorry but I didn’t get the part with “WEG rename PEGP in GFX0, good for iMac but MacPro7,1 have PEGP and not GFX0” This is done where?

It's been a while since I did it, but I followed these two guides [1st (google translate to English) and 2nd] to the t' and I  finally made it work  

 

btw, I re-franskensteined my EFI with the one you made for me with MacPro7,1 SMBIOS, basically, I kept everything from your's except my SMBIOS.

 

I have a few questions:

 

1. SSDT-RHUB aml is needed for Asus Z490 boards, so I guess I have to remove it from my EFI, or am I missing something?
2. I have no clue what EC-Z390-FAKE is for, but I guess it is used in conjunction with the CPUFriendDataProvider kext that you made for my CPU, no?
3. SSDT-HPET aml: all I know is that HPET stands for High Precision Event Timer, that's it, I know nothing more about why that aml is used for and if I need it 😅
4. SSDT-SBUS-MCHC aml is for fixing SMBus support, so, it was broken all along in my system? I never used that aml before...

 

Those are my main questions, other than that, I guess that my EFI is now fine-ish? Tbh, I'm now able to see the GPU proximity temperature in iStat, I couldn't before, and I haven't noticed any video stuttering so far.

 

Thanks @D3v1L and @AslashA for stepping in and help me out!  

EFI.zip

[D3v1L]

Glad the stuttering has gone.....for ssdt... LoL

 

z390fake: Aorus Pro already have a _STA argument in xhci dsdt, so we need to create a FAKE EC and not only a rename the pcb, so is like on many laptop...this aml is related to USB... EC+USBX made for AorusPro z390...

 

at same time, this board have a rhub too..rhub ssdt, remove it on Darwin os (MacOS)...

 

hpet ssdt is not really needed , is for irq conflict...

 

Mchc is sbus refining tune...nice to have!

 

...temperature in iStat, lol i've put radeongpu and radeonsensor in your EFI 🙂 if i remember well...btw, dgpu sensor is different from Monterey, in Ventura, they simply....works! LoL 🙂🙂🙂

So...

Weg is not related with audio...

Please check alc kext and alcid bootargs...pegp and gfx0 are only some rename maked by weg to satisfy iMac required name of dgpu ...btw post your actual EFI , now im at work, when im come hone i'll check it

wwwwoooaaahhh Thanks bro! I realy appreciate it! 

 

With WEG I have these boot-args: agdpmod=pikera alcid=7. I removed them both as you mentioned before. Then my "Built-in Line Output: Line Out 1" and "Built-in Line Output: Line Out 2" were gone as output. (I have two line outputs, Mainboard and PC-Case)

Here is my EFI: https://workupload.com/file/xUgUMEBhxM5 (again over 10MB to upload here: 13,5MB)

You need to remove only agdpmod=pikera, not alcid=7 in bootargs...you need alcid=7 for audio out 👍🏻... maybe my mistake ... 

 

Here 60hz ...lol i use MacOS for photo retouch and video editing...Need color precision, not hz and FPS lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks a lot @D3v1L! Btw, in my case, I believe removing "agdpmod=pikera" solved the stuttering issue, which I thought that it would just be ignored, but I guess it wasn't...

please, try this efi. Only add your PI information (Serial, SMUUID, MLB and ROM)

I add new restrictedevents.kext (dev and not release), new cpufriend with power management for i9 9900k, new usbmap (i think you use hackintool... this tool create a usbmap in legacy mode, not good for Monterey+), restore audio, and update all to OC 0.8.6.

try in a pendrive maybe...reboot, f12 select pendrive, space bar, clean nvram, reset, f12 select pendrive, select mac hd... I need to make a test... (i think it's working btw glad if you try and return feedback tnx)

 

EFI.zip

 

(anyway, for upload EFI, simply remove bloatware like APPLE dir and, if the zip is more than 10 mb, Resource dir...really don't need when you upload a EFI 😉 )

So I booted with your modified EFI. Got an error while it was loading (Apple Logo with progressbar)
Tried again and now without any errors. (Yes I cleaned and resetted nvram before)

So before your EFI, my encoding speed was about 4.2x or so. NOW 11.5x speed!! 😱 And it is much smoother in booting up. It used to be turning my fans at full speed one time, but now it seems to be that it don't have to do this anymore. So that power management seems to work! Thank you very very much!

BTW. I thought, having less kext as possible will give you more "native" power. But hey, I'm fine with that "steroid" you put in 😂

So... the stuttering is still here, I think it must've came with Ventura because today I didn't run Safari, I just left my computer - without any app running - and returned home after 7 hours, so it run the screensaver for about half an hour and then switched off the monitors but I prevent it from putting the hard drivers and itself to sleep. I tried playing a video in Quick Time, VLC, Plex, Chrome, Safari, everywhere, all the videos were stuttering but the sound worked fine... So, I guess that I have to blame Ventura on that one, or in any case, something in my system that isn't compatible with Ventura or wait for an update that could potentially fix the issue.

well maybe...some bios wrong setting...

[D3v1L]

btw, here the correct settings for run Ventura with MacPro7,1 smbios on AorusPro z390 (same with wi-fi)

 

 

Spoiler

BIOS IN ADVANCED MODE PLEASE.

HOME (TWEAKER) MENU:

*put 2666mhz on ram clock speed to remove double click wake monitor after sleep and tedious "usb not properly ejected pop-up after wake"

 

 

TWEAKER -> Advanced CPU Settings MENU:

 

*No. of CPU cores, it depend of your CPU...set the higher. (in my case, i5 9600k have 6 core so...no hypertreading here, if you have, set it to "Auto")

 

SETTINGS -> PLATFORM POWER MENU:

 

*Platform Power Management, set to Disable, otherwise, MacOS freeze after reach the desktop or maybe in few seconds.

 

 

SETTINGS -> IO PORTS MENU:

 

 

 

SETTINGS -> IO PORTS -> USB Configuration MENU:

 

 

 

SETTINGS -> Miscellaneous MENU:

 

*If you have Windows 11 installed, leave "Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT)" set to Enable, otherwise, Win11 ask you for TPM etc ...

 

BOOT MENU:

 

 

 

Put images in spoiler so I don't flame the thread 🙂

 

BTW, @panosru, please, put bios like images in spoiler and try this efi... i'll prepare only for you ahah LoL  

 

leave EFI as it and try... (don't worry, I add gprw xD LoL)

Presume it need to add adgpmod=pikera as I'm running a 5700XT? 

*EDIT* ok so with my old EFI & updated to the latest F12 bios with your bios settings my hack wont boot with 4G Encoding enabled. 

Secondly with your EFI & 4G Enconding enabled & adgpmod=pikera  added to boot args it hangs on boot at RadeonSensor............hmmmm
