Ryzen 5000 Support Finally Enabled On A320 Motherboards

Breathing new life into an old chipset

I thought this would be a good time to create a budget AMD build but using a brand new Ryzen 5000 series processor. It was a choice between Gigabyte or ASUS as they were the only confirmed motherboard manufacturers to have released the 'Unofficial' BIOS update to support Ryzen 5000 series. After some research I chose the A320I-K from ASUS, pretty sure it's the smallest 320 motherboard at 170mm x 170mm, rich feature set and a well thought out, I just wish they stacked an M.2_WIFI slot under the M.2 M key socket like I have on a H110MSTX board.

SPEC

AMD Ryzen 5700X 8-Core Processor (8Cores/16Threads @ 3.4 GHz Single Core 4.7 GHz Multi Core 4.6 GHz)
AMD Wraith Spire
ASUS Prime A320I-K BIOS 6042
Sapphire Pulse RX 580 8 GB
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200
Western Digital Black SN750 500GB M.2 NVMe
EVGA 500 W1 500W Power Supply
Power Mac G5 (Mid 2004)


BIOS

Make sure you have the latest BIOS on your 320 motherboard before installing a Ryzen 5000 series processor. 6024 and 6042 are the official releases, 5862 is the 'unofficial' release from November last year.

what exactly tool you use to generate the specific efi? thanks

The tool I use is called HackinDROM, my EFI that I use on this build, has been uploaded to HackinDROM. All you have to do is pick the number of cores, enter SMBIOS and download, simple!.

It’s a really good processor, insanely fast on a 320 chipset and very quiet.

Successfully updated my AM4G5 to Ventura Beta 5 through System preferences, OpenCore 0.8.4. Work still to be done in the "About This Mac" window.

Updated Ventura to Public Beta 9 (22A5373b) through system settings, booting OpenCore 8.5. Under a Gigabyte in size, 717MB to be exact. One new surprise is the Ventura Screen Saver, very relaxing!. Just need to remove GB under Graphics to make my about box typographically perfect, how do I do that @Shaneee ?.

 

[Shaneee]

@craighazan You could use device properties in the config to rename the GPU to AMD RX 580 8GB. Removing the Radeon part will shrink it to one line.

I know @CaseySJ and Inaquim over at TMX86 use OpenCore Configurator, I usually work with just ProperTree and HackinDROM, it's a good way to get familiar with the config and found editing a breeze. First I copied my working EFI to the EFI partition of a 16GB USB stick, that's the one I'm working on in OpenCore Configurator. Not knowing what I was doing I somehow added my Device Properties to my config, which I think is good and confirmed in Hackintool. Removed 'Radeon' from the two properties inside the yellow box, but I'm guessing that's wrong!, because 'GB' is still widowed!. Help requested on next step please!.




Update; After some reading I realized I could just compile the aml from and have it injected instead. I still can't get something right though!.

The address on the SSDT is incorrect. WEG is renaming it as part of its patches. Send over the config you're using to test and the PCI output from Hackintool.

Thanks, attached. A couple of things I changed since the last update, removed all device properties from config, created new SSDT before adding GPU Spoof. Read that I didn't need to add all PCIe devices to my config, just the ones for GPU.

@craighazan Try this,

@craighazan Try this,

Thanks @Shaneee, it works, everything is on one line, I am beyond happy. One thing I changed was remove 8GB as it showed up twice.

Could you please upload your efi 0.8.5 to take an example, in my configuration.

Thank you

 

[craighazan]

Hi. I will upload it when I get home later, or you can download it through HackinDROM. I updated it this week.

Here you go!, I have removed platform info. You can also download it through HackinDROM.
