MSI Z390 Gaming Plus Clover Files

This is a pack that contains all the necessary Clover files for hackintoshes that use the MSI Z390 Gaming Plus motherboard or for new users who would like to purchase and use this motherboard to run macOS 10.15 Catalina. This pack contains all the necessary drivers and configuration files for the following motherboard components:

Realtek ALC892 Audio

Intel I219-V Gigabit LAN Ethernet

USB (USB 2.0, USB 3.1 Gen1, USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C & Type-A) Ports

HDMI (IGPU only) Port

DVI-D (IGPU only) Port

For this pack to work, you must have the following components:

• 9th Generation Intel Core Processor (i3, i5, i7, i9)
• Intel UHD 630 Graphics (Optional if using dedicated GPU, however it is recommended to have it)

Optionally, you can use a dedicated GPU if you do not want to use Intel UHD 630 Graphics. This pack was made for this type of dedicated GPU:

• AMD Radeon Navi 5xxx GPU

For the best graphics performance and experience, it is recommended to use both AMD Radeon Navi graphics card + Intel UHD 630 Graphics for macOS 10.15 Catalina. The AMD Radeon Navi graphics card will be your primary display driver, however the Intel UHD 630 Graphics IGPU will enable accelerated hardware encoding/decoding (QuickSync) on macOS in headless mode. For those only using Intel UHD 630 Graphics IGPU, accelerated hardware encoding/decoding (QuickSync) is enabled by default.

Inside the archive there will be two Clover folders. If you are using only the Intel UHD 630 Graphics IGPU, use the Intel UHD Graphics 630 Clover folder. If you are only using an AMD Radeon Navi graphics card or if you are using it with Intel UHD 630, use the AMD Radeon Navi + Intel UHD Graphics 630 Clover folder.

For this pack to work, you must have the following operating system installed or on USB installation media:

• macOS Catalina 10.15.4+

NOTE: DO NOT SIGN ONTO YOUR APPLE ID. YOU CANNOT USE THE UUID AND SERIAL NUMBER IN THE CONFIG.PLIST FILE! AFTER INSTALLATION, YOU MUST USE CLOVER CONFIGURATOR TO GENERATE A NEW UUID AND SERIAL NUMBER FOR YOUR HACKINTOSH. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE IMESSAGE AND FACETIME. AFTER YOU MAKE A NEW UUID AND SERIAL NUMBER FOR YOUR HACKINTOSH, THEN YOU CAN TRY TO SIGN IN WITH YOUR APPLE ID.

NOTE: ONCE YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ACTIVATED IMESSAGE AND FACETIME, YOU MUST USE THE EXACT SAME UUID AND SERIAL FOR THE LIFE OF THE MOTHERBOARD. IF YOU CHANGE IT, APPLE MIGHT BLACKLIST YOUR HACKINTOSH.

This pack uses Clover UEFI revision 5115.
