Anyone had any experience with the Intel Quartz Canyon NUC 9i7QNB?

Hi All,

I've had great success hackintoshing older Intel NUCs, but now I've obtained the new "Quartz Canyon" one (https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/199871/intel-nuc-9-extreme-compute-element-nuc9i7qnb.html). For what it's worth it's very similar to the "Ghost Canyon" NUC, the latter being more gamer-oriented.

Has anyone successfully put Catalina/Big Sur/Mojave on one of these?

Hardware:

  • CPU: Intel i7-9750H
  • GPU: Intel UHD 630, ven_8086&dev_3E9B
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4
  • Motherboard/Laptop model: Mobile Intel CM246 chipset
  • Audio Codec: Intel Display Audio / Realtek ven_10EC&dev_0256
  • Ethernet Card: Intel i219-LM
  • Wifi/BT Card: Intel WiFi6 AX200 (but I already know that won't work with MacOS)

I've used Clover in the past; tried OpenCore once and just sank into a swamp of DSDT ACPI tables and the like, so gave up. However I'm open to using either method for this new NUC.

Any thoughts or recommendations (e.g. kexts/drivers I will need)?

Thanks!
