Here is the current BIOS setting related to TB on 7400. Should I enable "Boot Support"? (I will test again with "Boot Support" enabled and report back).

Last updated: 15 Jun 2024 We occasionally get questions about compatible graphics cards, so these articles should be useful for Hackintoshing purposes: 1) Best budget (under $50) graphics cards in 2024 Some of those cards are compatible with macOS up to High Sierra. Only a handful support Metal and Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur, i.e. Kepler architecture for nVidia (e.g.: GeForce GT 710) and GCN1.0 architecture for AMD (e.g.: AMD R5 240). And remember that, since Monterey, macOS dropped all support for nVida cards. 2) Best low-profile single-slot graphics cards for Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs in 2024 All those cards are compatible with late versions of OS X/recent versions of macOS. Afaik, all meet the minimum requirements for Metal but caution with nVidia cards since Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur only support Kepler models and, since Monterey, macOS dropped all support for nVida cards. 3) Best 1080p gaming graphics cards under $150 Those are good and reasonably priced cards, compatible with late versions of OS X/recent versions of macOS. Some do not need dedicated power supplies and will draw power from the PCIe bus. Afaik, all meet the minimum requirements for Metal but, again, caution with nVidia cards in Mojave/Catalina/Big Sur since those only support Kepler models and, since Monterey, macOS dropped all support for nVida cards. The site offers other "best graphics cards..." articles like "under $100", "under $200", etc. All available through a basic search.

I tested the following configurations, none of them see USB3 device in TB/USB-C port. With "Thunderbolt Boot Support" disabled in BIOS: TEST 3: No device connected USB-C on boot. TEST 4: USB3 stick connected on boot. With "Thunderbolt Boot Support" enabled in BIOS: TEST 5: No device connected USB-C on boot. TEST 6: USB3 stick connected on boot. RP05 showed the device, but failed to detect anything connected to it, either on boot, or hot plug in. BTW, with your earlier EFI (Jan 30 post), with "TB Boot Support" enabled, it hot-plug detects USB3 fine (Haven't tried TB device yet). UPDATE: It actually only worked intermitted. Again, really appreciates your help here!

"Thunderbolt Boot Support" Disable. Open ioreg search for RP05 (here you find your TB3) See that in these 2 Ioregs you have the patch active. So SSDT-TB3 works, I just need to modify it. I leave the modified EFI to test. https://ibb.co/PYsrFJc EFI for Monterey. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QjGKs9MDcRksvwlk-9QF-wu74D-C7-Df?usp=share_link Try this, ioreg if start, you need to save ioreg after connect type-c hub and TB3 dock. Thank you.

@Baio77 Tried your TB3 EFI above with Monterey 12.6 (used Monterey version of AirportItlwm.kext). TB/USB-C port only works if connected during boot. Sleep/Wake appeared working, but I only tested with USB3 stick + USB-C adapter. I've attached my IOReg report, if it helps for you to come up with a patch. Also, the USBPorts.kext is missing a few ports (easy to fix): 1. HS03 (port: 0300000) - This is USB-2 personality on the left USB3 connector. 2. HS06 (Port: 0600000) - This is the internal USB for WEB Cam 3. HS08 (Port: 0800000) - This is for internal USB devices (smartCard reader, etc) via an internal hub Thank you!

Last updated: 15 Jun 2024 Restoring support for dropped GPUs in macOS Ventura and Sonoma For older platforms up to Broadwell, best thing to do is patch Ventura and Sonoma with OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OCLP) tool. Minimum version is OCLP v0.5.1. macOS 13 officially dropped support for all Haswell, Broadwell and Skylake iGPUs. macOS 14 did not drop any additional GPUS. Ventura and Sonoma therefore need to be installed with SMBIOS of a supported Kaby Lake Mac model minimum. for 1st gen Intel HD graphics, apply root patches with OCLP, making sure to disable SIP and select an Arrandale SMBIOS (eg: MBP6,2); no need for any other OCLP settings. for HD3000 graphics, apply root patches with OCLP, making sure to disable SIP and select a Sandy Bridge SMBIOS (eg: MBP8,1); no need for any other OCLP settings. for HD4000 graphics, apply root patches with OCLP, making sure to disable SIP and select an Ivy Bridge SMBIOS (eg: MPB10,2); no need for any other OCLP settings. for Haswell HD4x00 graphics and affiliated, apply root patches with OCLP, making sure to disable SIP and select a Haswell SMBIOS (eg: MBP11,1); no need for any other OCLP settings. for Broadwell HD5x00 graphics and affiliated, apply root patches with OCLP, making sure to disable SIP and select a Broadwell SMBIOS (eg: MBP12,1); no need for any other OCLP settings. for nVidia Tesla and Kepler graphics, apply root patches with OCLP, making sure to disable SIP and select the SMBIOS or a Mac Model with nVidia graphics (eg: MBP7,1/iMac14,2); no need for any other OCLP settings. For Skylake HD5x0 graphics, things are a little different and using Kaby Lake graphics settings works perfectly. The trick to apply consists of: installing Ventura/Sonoma with Kaby Lake SMBIOS (eg: MBP14,1). injecting KBL framebuffer layout (eg: 0x59160000 or 0x591b0000). faking KBL iGPU device id (eg: 0x5916). injecting WhateverGreen kext v1.6.1 minimum. booting Ventura/Sonoma with KBL SMBIOS (eg: MBP14,1) or, alternatively, SKL SMBIOS (eg: MBP13,1) + -no_compat_check boot arg. The same graphics patches apply to both Ventura and Sonoma.
