Hi everyone. I would like to make an hackintosh with my i5 2500k that's unused but I don't have any discrete graphics card. Do you think I can do it with high sierra using the hd graphics 3000? I have a 2500k, z77 extreme 4 and 8gb of ram and I've already made an hackintosh with Catalina using this components and a Rx 580 but now I can't use this card because is in my main PC. (I'm sorry for my bad English...)

Hi. Couple of questions regarding building a hackintosh with an intel nuc.

With the tall models the nucs have 1x m.2 and 1x 2.5” drive. Could I just use the 2.5 drive with a solid state and then use the m.2 slot for a BCM94352z for WiFi and Bluetooth ?

Anyone have info with compatibility with the new NUC10s w/ intels 10th gen i series?

Hi! I succesfully installed hackintosh Catalina but when I tried to connect to second monitor my laptop's turned off, now it's always turned off unless it's connected with hdmi cable. Dus someone has a solution.

Hi community,

Will this built work with Catalina?

Greetings,

No matter what guide I follow, I am unable to activate Facetime & IMessage on my hackintosh build. My specs are:

- Asus Z170 Pro gaming motherboard

- Intel HD 530 Onboard graphics

- Samsung EVO SSD 500 GB

- Corsair vengeance 16 GB

- SMBIOS = IMac late 2015

- Opencore bootloader

​

• I am using emulated NVRAM because my motherboard does not have native NVRAM. NVRAM -c returns: "Error clearing firmware variables: (iokit/common) not permitted "
• I am using an invalid serial number, checked on Apple coverage website
• Ethernet = en0 & built-in (hackintool)

Whenever I try activating IMessage / Facetime, I get the customer code error. I also tried using an account made before 2016

Hey folks!
I have a Thinkpad T590 (i7-5865U, UHD 620), I installed a vanilla Mojave (And before also a vanilla Catalina) on it, it works, I mean, I can boot it etc. but... I don't understand how can I make that Video card working.

I'm sure it's possible to use it, somebody in a sort of way did it! But I can't understand what to do. Maybe by injecting another similar card.. I don't know.

Anyway, could someone help me, please?

I’ve just recently installed macOS on my AMD based system and all through the macOS setup process and now when I’ve finally booted into macOS, the mouse and keyboard have extreme lag. When typing in things it will not register key presses and then quickly type random letters. When I move the mouse it will stutter every few seconds.

My specs are Ryzen 7 2700x, asus Vega 64, 64gb ram, aorus b450 pro wifi. I used opencore for the install and mainly followed the vanilla guide along with snazzy labs recent tutorial video.

I’m not sure if this is a kext issue or something to do with USB mapping? I’m happy to post my config.plist file if that helps at all.

Any help would be much appreciated :) Also let me know I need to provide any more info

I have this acer laptop (upgraded to ssd 180 gb and 8 gb of ram)

Can i get mojave/catalina running on it? I only hae a Windows PC with a catalina VM

I did a dual boot with windows 10 and managed to use clover manager to switch between OSes.

After a while, I deleted the Hackintosh but held to clover manager to boot into Windows. I had to change the CMOS battery and thermal paste last week. After that, the laptop won't boot into Windows. The usual clover UI doesn't appear on boot. Instead greeted with "Operating system not found" message. And also I can't enter to Bios setup. I think it enters into Bios setup page but all I can see is a grey/black screen.

I verified with live Linux USB that my SSD is healthy and can access the drives.

Is there a way to fix the boot?

Laptop - Dell XPS L502X. Using modded A12 bios for Nvidia 525m graphics.

macos was successfully installed. I have one big issue though, what could be the problem that every steps i made it will be very slow, the mouse cursing was turning... had to wait quite a long time. It acted up recently even when I was on clover installation. I thought a fresh install might fix it. But using opencore installed also had this issue. Like opening settings, it loads a long time, applying a setting.. open safari.. SSD is new though I specifically just bought it for hackintosh after the old one died. My Windows 10 is running flawlessly though. Please help!

My motherboard supports 2x m.2 drives and if an NVME drive in is the slot #2 then:

1. PCI_E2, PCI_E3, PCI_E4 and PCI_E5 slots will be unavailable when installing M.2 PCIe SSD in M2_2 slot.

Does this mean I'd be unable to use a secondary GPU for Qemu pass-through if the M2_2 slot is populated?

​

If not then would the speed of one 970 evo be hindered much by this adapter, below 2500mb/s and/or is compatible with an OSX KVM?

​

Thanks in advance!

Any pointers for how to get macOS going on a Dell PowerEdge R720? Spec wise this is probably equivalent to a Mac Pro 6,1. The technical guide says the chipset is an Intel C600.

I currently have a Mac Pro 2012, but I'm pissed at Apple for their stupid feud with Nvidia and their insanely out of touch pricing on the new Mac Pro, so I want to try out a hackintosh. Unfortunately I'm dependent on the accessibility and workflow features of macOS for a disability I have, otherwise I would leave the Apple ecosystem entirely.

The R720 I have has two 8-pin GPU power headers and can accommodate two full-length double-wide GPUs according to the technical guide. I would love dual AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Editions or Vega 64s, but I don't think the budget will allow for that at the moment... but future-wise I want to get into machine learning with the Metal API.

From the standpoint of storage I can put just about anything in there, it's a 16-bay machine, I have a ton of SAS gear, PERC H710, Adaptec 78165, LSI 9207-4i4e, Intel 750 NVMe, Optane 900p, Samsung m.2 AHCI, SATA SSD & HDD, USB sticks, USB to SATA adapters.

For processors I have two Xeon E5-2670 v2 (also have v1 cpus) and memory will be 16x 16GB DDR3 RDIMMs.

For sound I have a USB attached DAC, in particular a S.M.S.L. AD18.

I also have a highpoint USB 3.0 card and a Chelsio 10 GbE NIC I could pull from my Mac Pro 2012 if needed. Currently I have a Broadcom BCM57840S rNDC in the R720, but I could swap that out very easily with an Intel X520 + i350 rNDC.

I'm not sure about bluetooth (keyboard, mouse, and trackpad are all bluetooth). However, come to think of it I think I have a Apple WiFi Broadcom card and PCIe adapter... but, I'm not sure the R720 supports PCIe slot bifurcation to support the WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time... although I can get by just fine without WiFi.

The R720 doesn't support booting from NVMe devices to my knowledge (there might be a way to mod the UEFI firmware to include support, but that's a project in and of itself). I think the best option for boot support could be an Samang SM951 AHCI that I have.

I won a scholarship I wasn’t aware I entered for and now I have some cash ($3k) to use towards a new computer. My laptop currently is a 2012 MacBook Pro that’s maxed out spec wise and I have some older keyboards and monitors from a yard sale my neighbor had, but I have never been able to really play games on a Mac thus far. With this new computer I’m hoping to finally be able to do just that, as well as using it for “school reasons”. Thanks for the help in advance.

I am on Linux and don't want to brick my other hard drive.

I've been putting together the parts to build my first hackintosh for audio production using PcPartPicker, and I'm just curious if anyone could give me some advice for getting the best program compatibility with Ryzen 3700x.

Is it really worth just going with an i9 9900k?

I plan on using Logic Pro X, and possibly FL Studio.I already have an audio interface, so onboard audio isn't really an issue.I'm not sure if I really care about WIFI since I won't be moving it.I would like Bluetooth to work.I have been looking on YouTube extensively for reviews of compatibility with this processor for audio production specifically in a hackintosh, but there's slim pickings.

For anyone interested in the parts I have assembled:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700xCPU COOLER: Noctua NH-D15 ChromaxMOBO: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite ATXRAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB @ 3200mhzStorage: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB M.2 NVMEGPU: MSI Radeon RX 5700 blower coolerCase: Azza Cube 802PSU: Corsair RM850i (from a previous build)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Here are my specs:

i5-5200U

HD5500

NVIDIA 940M(Disabled)

16GB RAM

macOS installed on a SSD

The Problem:

The problem with sleep so far has been waking. Going to sleep isn’t a problem. However, when I start up from sleep, the problem is that instead of directly just starting macOS, it has to go though the BIOS and Clover again, and yes, I’m using UEFI booting. It seems like when booting from sleep, it should just be booting macOS.

Hey guys,

I want to build my first Hackintosh and I am struggling a bit with finding compatible components. My budget is around 1000-1200 Euros and these are the components I am thinking about so far:

- CPU: i7 9700K

- GPU: 8GB Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Pulse

- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming

- RAM: 16GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3000 CL16

- Storage: M.2 512GB ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO

- Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 4

- PSU: 650 WATT Corsair TX-M Series TX650 80+ Gold

I read a lot of times that the Z390 motherboards should be avoided, but there are many successful builds with the Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming and I can only find used Z370 ones. I want to use this build for around 5-6 years, do you think the RX580 will be struggling? Also is the cooler good enough for an i7 9700K?

I would really appreciate your help! :)

Hey Team,

I’ve been trying to install Catalina (10.15.3) onto my system via OpenCore as I wasn’t having much luck with Clover and there is a dedicated Skylake-X Guide in the Vanilla Install OC Guide.

I’ve followed the guide to a tee, my BIOS recognises my Install USB as UEFI but when I select it to boot I get a quick glimpse at a black screen with a dash at the top and then it goes back to the Boot Options select screen in the BIOS. I am using the Debug Version of Open Core. ConsoleGOP is enabled in my config.plist.

As title says, how many of us here are turning to OSX because Windows keeps getting worse? For example:

• Shoving ads in the OS, from OneDrive premium, to notifications, to the self installing (cr)apps like Candy Crush
• Pushing Bing no matter what, to the point of nerfing things like search in start menu because useless web results crowd out the local stuff.
• Pushing users to cloud everything, from account to storage. These days you need to look up online how to make a local account when installing if you are connected to the internet, and MS keeps throwing roadblocks
• Forced telemetry: no way to completely opt out, and some features feel like they are there to syphon data more than being useful

Basically it feels like Windows has been taken over by the same groupthink as Facebook or Google/Youtube. Apple may not be perfect, but they show a hell of a lot more respect for their users than MS is doing these days.

I swapped my vega 56 air boost for a new one(same model) because the old one had some problem booting due to hardware problems. But I ran into this error even if I booted with my usb(also the newly created one). Is this also a hardware issue?

So I did a totally stupid thing. Downloaded and ran Clover Configurator (https://github.com/Dids/clover-builder/releases) on my MBP thinking that was what I should do.

I have yet to reboot my MBP. My EFI is mounted in Finder, and shows a folder /EFI/CLOVER/

My Clover install log reads as follows:

How much have I broken my system? Do I need to start unsoldering stuff and reflashing EFI? Help!

Hey everyone!

I usually love spending extraneous amounts of time researching what the optimal solutions are for my self. I recently setup this hack with Catalina quite seamlessly, it was almost to easy haha. Essentially everything works minus wifi and I'd love to get that working for some accessories if possible? I'll post my PC specs below, but to give you the important info ahead of time - I have one of those(Logitech) IO bluetooth adapters lying around, as well as integrated(? lol) wifi and bluetooth on my MOBO, although I am aware that the former doesn't work on Catalina and the latter is almost never supported. Also! I have an old first-gen MacBook Air that is bent, dented and has a one hour battery life that I would be happy to murder if the wifi chip is compatible haha.

​

Basically I currently don't have as much time as I'd like to figure out the solution and was wondering if anyone could provide some insight, I'm assuming I'm even breaking the rules since this has probably been posted before but I've done a lot of research on here and haven't seen a unanimously voted answer.

​

Anyways, I appreciate all the info I've gathered from here over the past and look forward to possibly some more :P

​

Specs:

Intel i7k 7600k

MSI 270 AC Pro Carbon Gaming (ITX)

Samsung NVME

16Gbs of Corsair Ram

(Possible important note, I only have one PCI slot total, and the rear M.2 slot is used by the Samsung NVME. Is it possible to remove the current MSI wifi chip and slot in a new one?)

So I've done a High Sierra Hackintosh with my HP 8760w (This machine is for specific purposes and the webdrivers are needed ) UEFI is a bit primitive on these machines and I'm having issues getting clover to see and boot the secondary Win 10 SSD. That wouldn't bug me so much if I could figure out a way to make a usb to boot the windows drive with. Any suggestions?

Hello im using HP envy with Ryzen 5 2500u radeon vega mobile gfx,16gb Ram.will my laptop suppots hackintosh.

If it is supported,colud you teach me how to hackintosh please?
