Built a home computer for the first time after having Macs all my life. It's all up and running pretty well!
CPU: i5 10400 Comet Lake
GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX580 8GB
RAM: 2x8GB G. Skill Ripjaw V
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model: Gigabyte H470 Aorus Pro AX
Audio Codec: Realtek ALC1220-VB
Ethernet Card: Intel 2.5GbE LAN built-in
Wifi/BT Card: Intel I225-V built-in
Storage: WD Black 500GB M.2 (macOS drive) + Inland Premium 512GB M.2 (Windows drive)
PSU: Corsair TX550M
Fans: Arctic P12 120mm (they're super quiet)
Heatsink: Cryorig H7
Case: Cooler Master NR600 mid-tower
OS: 10.15.6 Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina + Windows 10 Dual Boot
OpenCore Version: 0.6.1- followed Dortania guide and Technolli YouTube OpenCore 0.6.1 and Comet Lake walk throughs
What's working:I'll just list what took fixes/a few tries to get working. Otherwise so far everything else seems to be running fine.
Audio via AppleALC.kext
Bluetooth via IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext and IntelBluetoothInjector.kext
Wifi via Airportitlwm.kext- itlwm.kext + Heliport also worked but the Airport version acts just like native airport.
Ethernet via FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Intel_I225-V.kext
Sleep: works fine unless my BT keyboard is attached. The system will "dark" wake and go back to sleep several times otherwise. I had to turn off BT device waking in System Preferences.
What isn't working:
Mobo RGB lighting control (resets to white on reboot). I wasn't expecting it to work so no big loss.
Other Notes:
- Windows drive has BootCamp utilities installed so OS selection can be done via that to automatically choose to boot to macOS in OpenCore at restart.
- I did not attempt to get the iGPU working since I have a discreet graphics card
- I could not get my NIC to show up using the method in the Dortania guide > Comet Lake > DeviceProperties section so had to use the FakePCIID method.
