AudioGod's Gigabyte Aorus X570 Pro, Pro Wifi, Ultra & Master - Big Sur & Monterey Beta - OpenCore 0.7.4 EFI

[jtxnn678]

It's been awhile, but I don't recall any issues with speed when I was on Big Sur. I switched to this for Monterey and it works perfectly, no kext needed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082K62S48?psc=1

So is it safe to upgrade to Monterey from Big Sur? I got system upgrade notification but still hesitate to upgrade to Monterey, afraid things will broken.

Create a backup of your current macOS drive before you run the update/upgrade. Use Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) or SuperDuper to create the clone.

yes I've been on Monterey since release with 0.7.5 and now thanks to Shaneee 0.7.6. You just need a compatible network solution the adapter I recommended or compatible Wi-Fi card.

Hi, could I use the above spec with 3 GPUs?: Radeon RX 6800, Radeon VII & Radeon RX 6900 XT.
Also hoping to connect Monitor via thunderbolt, is that possible?
Many thanks

I think if all ask Shaneee nicely he might give us some 0.7.7 love. I hope AudioGod is doing well we miss him.

Thanks so much for the EFI, it's been a couple of years since my main PC was a hackintosh and this board helped greatly! I've a few free days this weekend, so figured why not give it a go and see if I can get Monteray installed, and it's installing now! Cheers

For those who might be concerned, 12.2 installed without issue.

Just looking for a confirmation - there isn't a patch for onboard 10g aquantia nics yet?

 

[Edhawk]

Not sure if this is what you need but there is a patch for the Aquantia 10Gbe card.

OpenCore Kernel/Kext > Patch

Clover Kext and Kernel patch in text and GUI formats.



Don't know how this would be different from a builtin 10Gbe port, but it may be worth a try.

 

[DarkSilentSC]

Your posted Find / Replace code seems different to what I have. Look for my post on Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme in this Success Stories thread for detailed Kernel/Patch description

OC 0.7.7 & Monterey 12.2 work fine here!

I did an upgrade from Big Sur. I just had to disable the Intel NIC, and use the Realtek one instead.



However I cannot get the OpenCore GUI working again. I cross-checked every configuration setting with the guide, and everything seems to be OK. Is anybody else also affected by this cosmetic issue?

I need to revise my comment, as it turned out I’m affected by slow boot issues due to owning a Samsung SSD drive. Just keep that in mind before you upgrade to Monterey. There are already several threads discussing about this issue, see for example https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/extremely-slow-6-7-minute-boot-time-with-monterey-12-0-1.316614/

I just ordered a Western Digital WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD which should arrive by tomorrow. I don’t know if I manage to restore from a backup until this weekend, but from all online reports so far the WD_BLACK SN850 is the best SSD you can get for the most optimal macOS compatibility.

The endeavour was a full success! I cloned the Samsung SSD with CCC and its legacy boot support. Then I manually copied the contents of the old EFI partition on the Samsung SSD to the EFI partition on the new Western Digital SSD. After a short boot check from an external enclosure, I swapped the SSDs, and booted right into macOS. Then I just had to turn on FileVault again.

Anyone tried OpenCore 0.7.8 ? Any config changes or other gotchas?

Hi, I will test X570 Aourus Master and I want to ask you about providing USBmap.Kext or entire EFI? Thanks

Hey why am I the only one to respectfully ask Shaneee for an update each release? Shaneee if you would be so kind it would be greatly appreciated as always.
