Hi together,
It‘s been a while since I‘ve been here, it’s good to be back, and my question is this: ASUS just recently announced their latest batch of X570 motherboards and I was wondering if the networking on the crazy, yet awesome CROSSHAIR VIII Extreme is going to work. I know with this mobo that I would be going into a lot of unknowns but I would want to give it a try anyway. But what I feel has been neglected a lot on Hackintosh systems is the plethora of networking chips that are found on these boards.
So yeah to get to the point: The C8E has two NICs: An Intel I-225V if I’m not mistaken (which should work with a little fix from the guides) and … here comes: An Aquantia AQC113CS. This guy’s is a bit of a mystery to me. Will there be workarounds for this guy from the Hackintosh gurus here or is it natively supported? My hunch is a bit of both, as the 10Gbit NIC in the M1 Mac Mini is called AQC113, not CS or anything. Can someone verify of inform me if I‘m thinking correctly? I don‘t want to make the same mistake buying this board as I did with my CROSSHAIR VIII Formula, as I thought because it has an Aquantia NIC it’ll be supported, which it isn’t though.
Please please can someone help me verify these thoughts? The AQC113CS is already on some high-end Z590 boards, notably the AORUS Master/Xtreme and the Maximus Extreme from ASUS. So yeah any previous experience is appreciated as well.
Thanks everybody and cheers!!
