EFI for Ventura 13.3.1 - Asus STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI/7900x

[poshook]

Hi,
I have Intel i7-7820x fully working with ASrock X299 Xtreme4 and Ventura 13.3.1 and going to upgrade to AMD with this setup:

Asus STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI
Ryzen 9 7900x
Kingston FURY 64GB KIT DDR5 5600MHz CL40 Beast Black
Gigabyte Aorus RX570 4GB

Is here someone with similar setup to share his EFI folder properly working in Ventura 13.4?

Thank you in advance

Have a look at this 'Success Stories' post, it may be of help.

thank you, but it looks like different mainboard.
I have found one thread with the exactly same mainboard and CPU but that one Monterey ready.
I would like to keep my MacOS disc from X299 build as is just replace EFI. Hope it could work

It's similar, not identical.

It will have similar issues and need similar kexts, drivers, patches etc. as you need for your board! Have you read the Ryzen 7000 Testing thread?

Retaining your X299 macOS drive is possible, but will depend on whether you have installed any kexts to the /Library/Extensions or /System/Library/Extensions folder. As these non-Apple kexts will be added to the kernel cache, and would clash with the kexts in your AMD OC EFI.

You might want to see if @ovenlite1 who posted this thread will send you a copy of his latest EFI.

There isn't an EFI attached in his thread, but he has offered to share if you start a conversation with him. Just hover your mouse over the member's name and an option to start a conversation will appear.

Is there a way how to prevent this problem? I use these kexts:

Hmm that's odd, it seems you liked my message. Check again and if it's no longer available I can resend.

I am a little lost here on the forum as I do not know how to use it properly. Registered around week. You wrote that you sent DM to me. So does it mean Direct message? Because when I open my profile I can not find any inbox there or so. Is DM something else? Where can I found your DM? I was liked many posts, maybe I forgot the thread

No worries! you should be able to access your messages in the top right corner of the page:
Maybe enough time passed and it's no longer a recent enough message? You can also click show all to get to all of your messages. Either way, I just sent a reply in that message thread so hopefully it'll show up!

One more question. What are required BIOS settings for AMD platform B650?

This link should take you to an earlier guide that will address BIOS settings as well as the MMIO Whitelist that I referred to in my message to you. You will most likely need to follow the steps for the MMIO whitelist even if you find someone with the exact same board as you:

@etorix and @CaseySJ Thank you both for your insight, especially since this will be my first machine with a TB4 maple ridge controller. Regarding maple ridge, an old friend of mine actually had a pretty nice setup with a Gigabyte Z590i Vision D board with TB4 that served him well. I think he...

I think that guide will be a great start for you, but just keep in mind that some patches are required for Ventura 13.3 and later. The EFI I sent to you already contains these patches, but just in case you obtain someone's older EFI or something and can't install the latest version of Ventura, this is probably why:
