Benjamin Franklin Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 you’re reading my mind. and why only me? Perhaps some weird incompatibility between this new bios and my h/w configuration?

(If all fails, blame fenvi, right? ) What smbios are you using and also are you using a custom colour profile for your monitor by any chance? Also one more thing, how are you getting sound? Via hdmi to your monitor or external speakers from the 3.5mm output?

Benjamin Franklin Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 SMBIOS? 19,1 custom colour? Yes <— could be it, as i updated it two months ago... sound? -Via HDMI works (to my monitor and the monitor has 3.5mm out), but I don’t use it. This has been like this from day 1, nothing weird or so). -via 3.5mm out back to speakers. - via usb dac (dragonfly) to headphones <— for two months now. i pull this out when i stop working the computer, so it never sleeps with the dac attached.

Custom monitor colour profiles seem to do weird stuff with macOS (real Macs inc) including freezing after sleep so yes stop using it and go back to a standard Apple one just to test and see if it helps. Ive done it myself on a old monitor and it took me weeks to work out it was the profile causing my system to lock up randomly and always sometime after waking from sleep. You just would never expect something like to be the cause. sound via 3.5mm is fine, hdmi sound can cause freeze after sleep but that’s more of a old clover problem and not OC. Try resetting the profile and let me know how it goes? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/340936-audiogods-aorus-z390-master-patched-dsdt-efi-for-catalina-mini-guide-and-discussion/page/63/#findComment-2742039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that tweak keeps in its Beta section, a BIOS released in final version by Gigabyte. Usually, Tweak updates its lists, which has not been done this time and since September 16, date of publication by Gigabyte. I haven't looked at the binary. But I think they are identical.

Once you do that and restart all USB ports will be active fully including usb 2 on usb 3 and type c etc. Note - If you don't need it on then don't use it but at the same time if you wanna test it out then go for it and let me know if you get any strange behaviour. OpenCore EFI Update v0.6.3 - 02/11/2020 OC 063 19,1 Z390 Master EFI 021120.zip - OpenCore v0.6.3, SMBios iMac19,1 OC 063 1,1 Z390 Master EFI 021120.zip - OpenCore v0.6.3, SMBios iMacPro1,1 (IGPU Disabled) PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO RESET YOUR NVRAM BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE NEW EFI FOR THE FIRST TIME, Note - If your not using a 5700 XT or any other Navi GPU then remove agdpmod=pikera from the boot arguments. Note 2 - Do not try to carry across your old OpenCore Config.plist to the new EFI as to many changes have occurred in 0.6.0. Use the new Config.plist instead. For OpenCore Using PlistEdit Pro add your details by modifying the following PLEASE NOTE - These EFIs are setup to be used with your msr Unlocked so make sure you use the correct bios settings listed below or use the F11L Unlocked Profile I have provided. Additional Downloads Z390AORUSMASTER.F11l.zip - Aorus Z390 Master Bios Firmware F11L PlistEdit Pro.zip - PlistEdit Pro (use to edit OpenCore) PLEASE NOTE - MSR Unlock is now baked into the BIOS as a setting so you no longer need my bios profile to unlock your MSR.

It also has all the bios settings listed on this guide pre done and saved onto the profile. Default F11L.zip - Use with Bios Revision F11L ONLY 1 - Download the profile and save it to a USB Key 2 - Go into the bios, 3 - Load the profile, 4 - Save and exit 5 - Go straight back into the bios and save your bios to a new profile and name it Default CFG Unlocked or something like that. 6 - Save the changes and then restart and your done, your motherboard will now be CFG (MSR) Unlocked and all the correct settings will be dialled in for you.

Did you reset your nvram before booting into the new EFI? That’s very strange buddy because the EFI has been thoroughly tested by many users before it went live on the thread and no problems like yours or any other problems were reported to me. I got 100% positive results on both 19,1 and 1,1.

I had that too, but before I started using Audiogod’s OC EFI. The fix was, for me, to move the USB receiver of my mouse and keyboard to different USB port, reboot and clear NVRAM. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/340936-audiogods-aorus-z390-master-patched-dsdt-efi-for-catalina-mini-guide-and-discussion/page/63/#findComment-2742911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
