I need help:
Have my new Hackmac equipped with the following parts:
Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite DDR4 – BIOS F22
Intel i9 12900K
2 x 32 GB DDR4 DIMM
MSI Radeon RX 580
WD Black SN850X
Crucial SSD (Windows)

Windows installed on separate SSD - everything works

BIOS: Load Optimized Defaults – than
Tweaker
Extreme Memory Profile(X.M.P) → Profile1
System Memory Multiplier → Auto (default)
Tweaker → Advanced CPU Settings
Hyper Threading Technology → Disabled
All P-Cores and E-Cores → Enabled
Settings → Platform Power → ErP → Settings IOPorts
Internal Graphics → Enabled
HD Audio Controller → Enabled
Above 4G Decoding → Enabled
Re-Size BAR Support → Enabled (set ResizeAppleGpuBars to 0 in Booter section of config.plist)
Settings → IOPorts → USB Configuration
XHCI Hand-off → Enabled
Settings → Miscellaneous
Intel Platform Trust Technology → Enabled
VT-d → Enabled
Boot
CFG-Lock → Disabled
Fast Boot → Disabled
Windows 10 Features → Windows 10

Booted from USB stick, starts OpenCore menu, after selecting Ventura installation (13.4) the system starts and hangs after about 2 seconds.

I have attached my EFI.
It is based on @arquicion EFI OC 0.8.6 without BT

Who can help to find my errors? Or share his EFI?

Many thanks in advance.

please update your hardware profile to allow others to help you easier
 
After a long night and lots of coffee:
it runs:

Settings for iMacPro1,1 and VRAM reset
Bluetooth dongle does not work yet and the USB map still needs to be created.
Also the updates to OC 0.9.3

But there is still room for improvement in Cinebench:
Hyperthreading is off - there is still work to be done....

Done:
OC 0.9.3, Bluetooth dongle and USB map installed.
Upgraded to 128 GB RAM
Hyperthreading is running

In the fall I will swap the GPU to a RX 6800/6900 and install the Thunderbolt card.
Let's see if this ends the adventurous journey of new Hackintoshes for me.
 
Ok here's one problem with my z690 setup, it's still on 13.3.1(a) and wouldn't pick up any new Software Updates. No errors and nothing obvious in the system logs. SIP shows enabled.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Time to update your build signature to show whatever 690 system you have. So have you considered downloading the entire installer and going that route?
 
Hm... the build signature tool doesn't have an option for my hardware. When I select Z690 the only option I get is "Asus". There's no Gigabyte or "Other" in the dropdown. But fwiw my regular signature actually shows the correct MB model.

Yes downloading the installer is certainly an option, although my thinking here is that if I have some issue with NVRAM or config.plist the reinstall is unlikely to fix it for good.
 
UPDATE Jan 14, 2023: Newer BIOS versions may need SetupVirtualMap set to true in Kernel/Quirks in order to boot. Please, make use of OCAT to modify/update the config.piist.
I just build this MB, 13900K. Thank you for your comment and share.

Already try but no luck, it did not boot. May someone share EFI for this MB and 13900K

Please start your own thread for the issue you have. This one is not for a 13900K, etc.

Thank you.
