Got a smoothly running (fresh install) of Catalina on the HP Elite 8300 (Core i7 using onboard GPU (non-discreet)). Everything works that I can tell (audio, usb, sleep, wake). The hard part was making a bootable USB with a properly configured Clover bootloader.

So, I attached a zipped EFI folder. Simply unzip and place this folder in the EFI partition of your vanilla Catalina Installer USB or a standalone USB boot stick AND delete everything else in the EFI partition; the same can be...

Hi, I'm new of hackintosh here and just finished my first OpenCore Build. I'm using a Gigabyte Z590 Vision D motherboard, Gigabyte Radeon 6600XT graphic, Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro memory, and NZXT Kraken AIO Cooler. You see, since the cooler have it's own chips, it keeps all the setup from Windows based software, but not so much. Motherboard is back to default blue, graphic and memory gone off at all. I wonder where should I look up to find possible solutions for all of them to light up? Thanks,

This popped-up on a Today's Deals page on Amazon and I had to smile. Is the new Apple iMac range of colours tempting to PC builders?

Cooler Master obviously thinks so.

I'm trying to figure out why there is a 20+ seconds boot delay between "ASL Sender Statistics" and "Boot windows acquired" with Monterey and Big Sur, which was not the case up to Catalina.
Visually, this is when there is a pause in the progress bar under the Apple logo, at the point when the display normally redraws after loading the GPU kext. (I'm guessing, because on other builds there is a change in screen resolution at that point).
This is a Haswell Hackintosh with Gigabyte Z97-SOC...

Pre-amble

When I originally wrote the Beginner's Guide to Creating a Custom USB SSDT the idea was to demystify and simplify the process of configuring all those USB ports our PC motherboards come with, so that they worked properly under macOS. The main sticking-point for many builders was the arbitrary 15-port limit Apple has imposed. We have to accept this, but still make best use of the ports we have which often involves 'losing' a few from the ones that are present, to keep...

For some inexplicable reason, half my onboard USB ports are dead after I upgraded to Monterrey. They worked fine before, and I can use them when I boot into Linux, so I know there is no physical problem with them.

Using USBMap.command, nothing happens when I plug into the dead ports. Nothing shows up in the scan. There is also no power to them. It's like they are physically disconnected (although I know they do work when I boot into Linux). At the bottom there is a red "HUB-1a100000: 0" I...

Hi,
I have a problem. I installed mac os on my configuration and mask it as iMac 2019. But the other day I thought that since I don't have an iGPU, I can use smbios mac pro 7.1 or iMac Pro 1.1.
But when changing smbios to mac pro 7.1 or iMac Pro 1.1, I get a kernel panic. Loader OC 0.8.1. Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1

I've just switched my old NVidia 1060 out for an RX 6600 XT. I'm getting flickering, general slowness and bad resolution. As far as I can see, everything is in order so i'm at a loss.

I've attached my config - can someone possibly figure out theproblem?

Hello gents,
I have a Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro SFP+ network card previously installed on my RyzenPRO system. I have searched the web to have this network card working on Ryzentosh but I found nothing.
At the moment, what solutions are available to get a 10Gbe networking with SFP+ ports on a hackintosh system?

Edit: I have Big Sur 11.6.3 installed, so I would need a card compatible with this OS.

macOS Monterey 12.01, 12.1, 12.2 and 12.2.1 worked successfully on ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E with Intel 12700K and 12900K. The motherboard has 5 PCIe slots. ASRock Z690 Steel Legend (without WiFi) should also work as the difference is just the M.2 WiFi card and antennas. All the 12 generation CPUs, i.e., 12900K, KF, 12700K, KF 12600K, and KF, will most likely work with the same configuration.

I wrote this guide because initially I didn't even know if this notebook would be compatible at all and because I encountered some obstacles along the way. I haven't found the time to do a comprehensive testing of the notebook nor am I an expert in Hackintoshes, but I write this in the hope that it might be educational, nevertheless.
