    GUIDE How to Enable Thunderbolt 3 Hotplug on macOS

    No experience with Titan card, but on my Alpine card with Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 3 Z370 chipset, no firmware flash was needed, just SSDTs and the right BIOS firmware version, i.e. F12. My Apogee audio interface was detected and hotplug works.

    GUIDE How to Enable Thunderbolt 3 Hotplug on macOS

    Here is how I tested it. 1. Boot without anything attached to TB, plug in my thunderbolt NVMe enclosure, eject it and replug, still recognised. 2. Boot with thunderbolt enclosure, eject it and replug, still recognised. 3. Do the same as 1. and 2. but with a Thunderbolt hub in between, plug and...

    GUIDE How to Enable Thunderbolt 3 Hotplug on macOS

    GUIDE How to Enable Thunderbolt 3 Hotplug on macOS

I think it's frame buffer issue, since I still get a black screen for about 20 seconds before the Apple logo. As for the hot plug issue, I've been reading your guide back...

    GUIDE How to Enable Thunderbolt 3 Hotplug on macOS

    Thanks for the guide, I've been trying to follow it to the letter, but I just can't get it to hot-plug. Besides hot plug issue, my hack has been very hard to boot after installation of the thunderbolt card, often Clover just tell me efiboot fail and I need to restart, often takes a couple of...
