Gigabyte Motherboard Drivers For Mac Os X 10
I have a motherboard with a USB-C Port why won’t ThunderBolt 3 work?For thunderbolt to work in Mac OS you need a ThunderBolt port based on the Alpine Ridge Controller. If you bought a new motherboard with a USB-C port thinking you will get TB3 support on macOS that’s unlikely because only a tiny bit of motherboards come with an Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt Controller. For example right now the only Coffee Lake motherboard to come with a Thunderbolt 3 port is the ASROCK Z370 Fatal1ty ITX and I’m not aware of anyone who has gotten a TB3 device to work nor do I have the motherboard yet myself to test.
As to why there is only one motherboard with a ThunderBolt 3 support I would venture to guess that’s there simply isn’t a demand for TB3 and not worth the cost to these manufacturers to add it. But some of these motherboards have support for Thunderbolt AIC, in which case you can get Thunderbolt 3 working using a PCIe card. How to get Thunder Bolt 3 support on a hackintosh?To get ThunderBolt 3 support on a hackintosh you need one two things. The first thing you need is a motherboard with Thunderbolt 3 AIC Support or in other words a ThunderBolt 3 Internal Header (TBHeader) 5-pin connector on your motherboard and then you will need a ThunderBolt 3 PCIe card based on the Alpine Ridge Controller. The PCIe card will include a cord that connects to the TB3 Internal Header of a compatible motherboard addition to being placed in a PCIe slot. I recommend you pair ASUS motherboard with an ASUS PCIE card or a Gigabyte motherboard with a Gigabyte PCIE card.
Not every motherboard comes with included with a TB3 Internal Header and right now only ATX motherboards are available with it. Here’s an example of a motherboard and PCIE card you’ll need depending on what brand you’re using. ASUS TB3 Hackintosh SetupThe only motherboard for ASUS that I’m aware of with external TB3 support is the to which ASUS said has full support for the PCIe Card.
The ThunderboltEx 3 card can also support Z170 and Z270 motherboards with a TBHeader.(Motherboard) ASUS Prime Z370-A.(Card) ASUS ThunderboltEX 3 PCIe Card. TB3 Hackintosh Setup(Motherboard) GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 5.Note: Since Gigabyte supports a wide range of motherboard’s the Gaming 5 is only a recommendation of mine. Other supported motherboards include:,. For a full list of supported motherboards see: Gigabyte GC – Alpine Ridge PCIe Card.

ASROCK TB3 Hackintosh SetupASUS and Gigabyte and the preferred choice for Thunderbolt 3 as ASROCK may have issues related to ThunderBolt and sleep, but it still should works, as long as you are able to get working in Windows as the reviews aren’t too hot for the ASRock AIC card with some complaining they can’t even get it working in Windows. I’m not aware of anyone who has tested the ASROCK AIC with a Z370 motherboard, but it does work with Z270 motherboard.(Motherboard) ASROCK Z370 Taichi., also support ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC (Card) ASROCK Thunderbolt 3 AIC.

BIOS SettingsBe sure to enable the Thunder Bolt Card in BIOS 3. Hackintosh ThunderBolt 3 Hotplug LimitaionHotplugging with TB3 is the main thing that’s still a problem on a hackintosh. Hotplugging is the process where you plug one device and plug in another while the operating system is running. This means you will need to have the thunderbolt device plugged in before you boot the machine. If you happen to unplug the device and then plug it back it it won’t work, you will then have to restart to get the TB3 device detected once again. People in the hackintosh community are trying to get hot plugging which you can to help improve your TB3 hackintoshing experience.
One question for people here that are following this discussion.As I still haven’t bought either TB cards this article is referring to I wonder if the firmware can somehow be updated via Parallels virtual machine inside Hacintosh Mac OS?I updated everything via Windows before (motherboard bios and other) but since then I got rid of the Windows instalation becuase dual boot doesn’t interest me.I keep reading that the TB cards need firmware updates in Windows first for them to work and be seen by High Sierra Mac OS? I bought the GA Z170X Gaming 7 as one of the few motherboards which are having Thunderbolt support by default – I thought I can switch on TB at the Bios, but then the HighSierra (10.13.6) crashes during hibernation. Even the reboot button does not work than I think, it is quiet disappointing to find out, that you need Windows for flashing the TB moduls. I do not own Windows for over 10 years now and I am not planning to change that Is there any method within OSX or with Linux. My iHac is a dual boot Any clues? Hi guysI’m new to hackingtosh and had my install done by a friend who has done it on various machines that work perfectly fine. Mine has issues with some usb2 ports (black usb b ports work fine) and the onboard thunderbolt wont’t work.I was thinking of getting the gigabyte alpine ridge pcie card but I need advise since I blew some cash getting a thunderbolt 2 to USB C converter which ended up not working.
I need the USB C port for my audio interface.Looking forward to your help.Thanks.My specs;Alienware Area 51 R4 (Intel X299 PCH)i7 3.5 GHZ20 GB Ram256gGb nvMe.
IntroductionThe H370 chipset powers 8th generation Intel Core-i CPUs. Even though the name H370 rings comparable to Z370, the H370 is based on newer silicon. This it also requires some new approaches compared to the Z370. Devices Audio Inject 1 ResetHDA USB AddClockID FixOwnership Inject GraphicsImportant:Change 0x59120003 to 0x59120000 if you don't use a dGPU as your main display Driver and instead use the iGPU for output.Also note. SMBIOS iMac18,1 has been reported to work better in this configuration. But 18,3 works fine for me. Comment change Method(GPRW,2,N) to XPRW, pair with SSDT-GPRW.aml Disabled Find R1BSVwI= Replace WFBSVwI= Note: This works for me, but the patch removes the PRW method from all devices in the DSDT.
This could have side-effects. So far, I have seen none. At the moment I'm also not applying any other patch, compared with the additional edits I made to the DSDT method before.2.3 Install kexts to systemAs mentioned in the install section, it's better to follow rehabman's instruction and install USBinjectAll.kext to /L/E:sudo cp -R Release/USBInjectAll.kext /Library/Extensionssudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /2.4 Enable onboard Audio - Install AppleALC kextMake sure your EFI partition is mounted and that you have a vanilla AppleHDA kext available. See below for a guide how to get a vanilla AppleHDA if neededNote: Our Audio codec is ALC887 and it's running with layout ID 1.Download the newest AppleALC kext from and install it together with lilu.kext from into your usual /clover/kexts/others location.
No scripts or config.plist patches necessary.Add layout ID 1 to config.plist, if it's not there yet: Audio Inject 1 ResetHDA If you previously installed any audio patches, please follow guide to 'vanilla-ize' your install.2.5 Optional steps for GraphicsIf you have a dGPU, now it's the time to install its drivers and adjust the config.plist for it. The detaisl are specific to your GPU and thus of scope of this guide.
Yet, my supplied config.plist is ready to be used with Nvidia Pascal cards and using the Nvidia web driver.Whatevergreen.kext helps with Intel iGPU and NVIDIA dGPU fixes.At the moment I'm also testing out a special bootflag: 'shikigva=12' to enable faster rendering in Final Cut Pro X. Without whatevergreen.kext and a shikigva bootflag, rendering in final cut seem very slow.2.5.1 FramebuffersIf you're facing problems with output from your internal GPU, you can try the framebuffer patches listed by @BackwardMac:2.6 Install a proper keyboard layoutYou might not be using a fancy Apple branded keyboard. If you use a PC keyboard, you might be annoyed by the differing layout and usage of keys. As a German, you might find yourself quitting applications, since alt gr + Q won't add an @, but quit your current application.
To fix this, you can simply install a different keyboard layout. Copy it to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ and chose the layout in System Preferences, Keyboard in the section 'Other'. Deleting the previously selecting layout makes sure that only this one is used. Nice little trick.A keyboard layout for German keyboards is attached and works wonders3. Thank you very much.I just bought this board with an i3 8100.
Excellent work explaining how to install. Just for the others who have this CPU and want to run High Sierra with the integrated graphics, the catch is to change into 0x59120000 (see hidden text under Graphics). Since I have an old Nvidia I was stuck at the graphics but once I changed the ID it all worked out of the box, I just had to patch the audio, each time after update, since AppleHDA is replaced. I did use your DSDT!
I am running 18,1 smbios. I do not see any flickering.
I did put in CLOVER Kexts Other XHCI-300-series-injector.kext.See the pics I attached how my clover looks like.Thanks again. Hi, thanks for the info on the gigabyte HD3. I too have the same board and got high sierra working.My final setup looked like this./EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other:FakeSMC.kextIntelGraphicsFixup.kextIntelMausiEthernet.kextLilu.kextNvidiaGraphicsFixup.kextUSBInjectAll.kextVoodooHDA.kextXHCI-300-series-injector.kext./EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched:SSDT-UIAC.amlClover config.plist attached.I used the SSDT-UIAC.aml file from the first post.
When this boots I get a couple of pages of very fast scrolling errors at the start of the boot, so i think it's probably not perfect. I tried the SSDT-GPRW.aml hotpatch (on its own) but this did not work - everything was ok but I was left without SS USB (usb3.0). I could see only HS USB devices in IOReg. Going back to just the SSDT-UIAC.aml fixed this.I tried the HDA route but without success.
Instead opted for VoodooHDA which worked first time with no problems, including vol controls and mute.Overall a successful OSX86 install but not a painless one.P.S.

You might want to move XHCI-300-series-injector.kext to /L/E instead of Clover.Regarding Sound, I'm having the best experience with toleda's realtekALC script, although this Needs to run on every OS update.Since 13.6 I'm having trouble getting the System to sleep. It's either the MacOS update or the new bios F4 wich I applied. I Need to check this further.
Mac Os X 10 Upgrade
I am stuck at the install step.I have h370 hd3, bios is f2 (I have tried manually changing the bios settings and using hack2)I Beleive that I have followed every single step correctly, but I still get a prohibited sign and 'waiting for root device' when I load in verbose.Please, if anyone knows what I am doing wrong, help me!Thanks in advance.Hi, are you still stuck? When do you see the error? After or before Clover? When you try to enter the insalled or OS or when you try to boot the MacOS install medium? Please make sure that you set the SSD Operation to AHCI. Are you using an M.2 SSD or SATA SSD?It's advisable to use a recent version of AptioMemory.kext fix and Combine it with This way you don't need to add the apfs driver to your clover folder.
I will add this to the guide. I'm having trouble with the installation. I've followed all the steps exactly as described more than once and I'm getting stuck after clover every time.I'm running a i5 8600 with the Gigabyte H370 HD3 (Rev. 1.0) (planing to use iGPU).I've attached my EFI and a photo of where I'm stuck. Also I'm running the F2 bios with the profile provided.Seems like you are missing essential kexts. Does this occur when you wan to install, or after you installed to your SSD and try to boot from the SSD?Are you loading FakeSMC.kext?You can updated to the newest Bios no Problem - it's a good idea to be up-to-date with the flaws in the Intel Chips. I also tried the method below, can it produce a conflict?thxI personally stay away from to.ac tools, and I'd strongly suggest to not discuss These tools here.
If you want to use these tools, please ask in their forum.Regarding Audio: Your Audio ID should be layout 1, you can also try 3. Don't mix up methods. The ALC script also doesn't produce any error, it looks fine to me apart from the Audio layout 7, which you don't have.
If you use the script, please follow the instructions toleda has given for ist usage. You need a vanilla AppleHDA and EFI Needs to be mounted.Could you next time post in one answer instead of creating three? That makes Things easier.

Hallo hallo!I've been here on since snow leopard days, but still, im less than a rookie when it comes to hackintoshing! Im just format it, copy it, install it dude-like! Ahajajahaa sorry but I've been gettin this arbbuffer not present in my whatevergreen or don't know what OpenGL driver.steam games like Dying Light aren't playable since mojave 14.2 (no video, black screen) and several other opengl apps wont behave correctly at all.soo i only got you people to givme any idea of what am i doin wrong here with my installation, cause i got latest whatevergreen, as you could see from the capture im sending. Maybe i should go for a better video card?? I was thinkin buying a RX 590 8GB from Sapphire would kinda do de trick.but if a got a prob with my installation, most likely not uh!?

Ahaaja well thats from me for now, hope you guys are havin it this holidays with fam & loved ones, and are safe & witta rockin piece of hackintosh to play around with catalina, which is pretty cool system for me right now!HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE & BE SAFE!!! ^editmaybe i misconfigured ATI enabling in CloverEditor over the config file?!.
Hi,I have recently installed Mojave. Went flawlessly. Then I upgraded to Catalina 10.15.1. Went almost flawlessly as well.
The only problem I have detected so far is a problem with the sleep/wake cycle. It is possible to let the computer fall asleep, but no wake up then. Hard reset required.In the process of investigating I discovered that it is impossible to safe boot into safe mode. So I downgraded to Mojave, only to discover that the safe boot problem wast there too.These are my specs:Motherboard Gigabyte GA H77 D3H rev 2.0MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.1 (Build 19B88)Kernel Darwin 19.0.0 x8664RAM 4.00 GBModel Identifier iMac14,2CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3225 CPU @ 3.30GHzIntel Generation Ivy BridgeThis is the output I get trying to boot with Clover and the bootflags: -v -x (I have also tried -v -x -f and UseKernelCache=no):Thank you so much in advance!.
