I never installed windows, and I’d like to disable the LEDs to my video card “SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 5700 XT”. I don’t know a lot about this card other than that it’s overpowered for Adobe and that I was high on hackintoshing and quarantine funds while getting no advice from friends until after I bought everything.

Anyway, The only tips I’ve seen via Google require installing windows applications. And I’d rather just take electrical tape to the light emitting areas. The lights are visible from where I sleep and that’s a no no.

I have a HP EliteBook 840 G2 (Broadwell Laptop i5 5300u - HD 5500 - 16GB RAM), and read the OpenCore Install Guide (dortania.github.io) and made the EFI structure numerous times, checking the lot; and then resorted to finding additional pieces where possible to see if it may help in, but nothing avails and I eventually receive [EB|`B:WFDW] Err(0xE), 0 @ LocHB 71B4903C-14EC-42C4-BDC6-CE1449930E49, followed by the dreaded [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] 2020-12-31T17:40:45

I've already started at Kernel Issues | OpenCore Install Guide (dortania.github.io) but after combing through the troubleshooting guides recommendations, I still can't get the thing to boot into the Catalina Install drive.

Here's the boot log on paste bin: pastebin.com/zcHTamuL

I have a working Hackintosh with OpenCore 6.4 and latest Mac OS Big Sur. I fixed most of the issues except this shutdown thing. My pc won't shutdown properly. I have narrowed the issue to the point that I figured that the usb controller responsible for turning off the system won't turn off.

I followed this guide https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/usb/misc/shutdown.html

but I can't seem to find the correct usb controller. to edit the FixShutdown-USB-SSDT.dsl

any help would be appreciated. I know my laptop can Shutdown becouse it does in windows.

Not sure if this is just an inescapable part of using a Ryzen system, but I can't seem to get rid of these stutters and beachballs on my Ryzen system (3700x, 16GB, 5700xt).

I'm using iMacPro1,1, but am not sure if this is really the best choice.

My old mobo dead, it has HDMI and VGA port, which is great. Now i have Gigabyte H110M S2 and it only have 1 VGA port and no HDMI. I finish install my pc with mojave, and now i have error "IOConsoleUser......" and my screen turn off but my pc still running. I use whatevergreen and lilu kext, i patch it correctly, since it's same systend different mobo. If i have get that errror on my old mobo, i just change my VGA cable with HDMI cable, but now i don;t gave HDMI output. So how can i use VGA port on my mac without buying cheap GPU like GT 710 / replace my mobo again ?

My spec : i5-6500, intel hd 530, 8GB ram.

I’ve been looking for a good emulator for Linux and currently run VMware fusion (virtualbox sucks ass) and found qemu on brew. I was wondering if it was any good compared to the Linux version and I’d it has any graphical front ends.

So with all these new cards releases, although the price is all over the place right now, I'm considering replacing my vega 56 with newer cards, one for gaming (3060 Ti at this point, but hopefully next year price would be better for higher cards) and cheap one for hackintosh (rx 570?).

Specs are : Ryzen 5 3600, MSI X570 gaming plus, Vega 56 Red Devil (beast of a card), 32 gb RAM. Currently running OC 6.3 on latest Big Sur. It's running like a champ.

My plan is to have the 3060 Ti in first PCI slot (for higher performance) and RX 570 in 3rd PCI slot (since 3060 Ti most likely cover 2 slot).

My understanding is that I can spoof the 1st PCI slot (hide it) by using this guide : dortania - Disabling GPU

Hopefully it will hide the 1st PCI slot and Opencore can just use the 3rd PCI slot? Is it that easy or am I missing something? Anyone have experience with this?

Cheers.

Hello guys,

Please help installing mac on the following hardware:

Ryzen 5 1600, Gigabyte B350, 1050Ti, SSD and HDD.

I am trying to setup High Sierra since I found 1050 does not support newer versions.

I have followed the complete opencore guide and made the thumb drive. On sanity checker I found everything setup fine, still it get stuck on Apple log loading. Please find the attachments, help me to get it installed, its has been log pending dream to run hackintosh, hahhahahha. Thanks.

So I've just installed Big Sur in a VM on my unRAID server. Works flawlessly and iCloud/iMessage works as well.

My problem is, I want a somewhat similar experience doing remote desktop into the server, as I would if I use native RDP in Windows, when I connect to another Windows machine. My Windows/daily driver setup consists of 3 monitors (4K, 2.5K, and 2K), but if I remote desktop into a Windows laptop with only a single 1080p monitor, it automatically emulates 3 monitors for me, exactly like it is in my daily driver Windows setup.

However, I have not gotten that to work when doing Windows -> macOS. I have enabled GPU passthrough and removed VNC in virt manager, so I need to have a monitor attached to my unRAID server's graphics card, in order to get a resolution.

Is it true there is no alternative method out there? Preferably I would love to run the server completely headless, but I do have some HDMI 4K dummies/emulators coming soon, if I really need to use those.

I just want my 3 monitors on my Windows setup to show a macOS desktop with 3 monitors as well.

I couldnt find any options for that audio codec... Will my audio work? My WiFi card is also a realtek RTL8821CE and I'm a little worried about that as well. Has anyone been able to make these work? I'm trying to install Big Sur

Hey, i got my new NVMe drive for Windows, now i have 250GB free for my hackintosh, how can i get a bootable flash drive for macOS big sur?

Do i have to reinstall windows for dualboot?

My Geekbench 5 scores are oddly low compared to other scores with the same CPU and OS version, around 500-700 for single core, and never above 4000 for multi, whereas similar systems are hitting 6000 for multi.

Intel Power Gadget confirms the CPU is hitting its boost clock of 3.6Ghz, whereas iStat Menus does report hitting 3Ghz at all.

I’ve compiled a manual SSDT-PMC.aml, I’ve used CPUFriendFriend, and ensured the KEXTs are running - no difference.

And I’ve checked IORegistryExplorer that power management is running, it confirms plugin-type as 0x1.

Like title says, I'm trying to get the ethernet to work and I've tried plugging in the RealtekRTL8111, IntelMausi, and LucyRTL8125 kext (all separately, one by one), and restarting my hackintosh... but I can't get it to recognize my ethernet cable. The cable itself is lighting up, so it seemed like it's physically working.

Wifi/BT is working. I installed a native card and took out the stock one that came with it.

Not sure if it affects the ethernet but I also did my USB port mapping.

Here are my current kexts. Here are the specs for my motherboard.

Any help would be appreciated.

What part I got an issue with:

When I boot off the USB after setting up the USB installer, I select the EFI (external) option in the Boot Menu photo attached. I see the boot fails at a part with H:CHK (Boot Output photo attached), which I assume is some sort of hardware check before boot. I've tried to go through and check the EFI and make sure I have the proper Kext files and driver files, but I'm not sure if they are totally correct and would cause the boot to fail.

I have already tried to switch the RebuildAppleMemoryMap to False and the SetupVirtualMap to True, but that did not cause any noticeable change in the boot process. I am also booting this off of a removable USB SSD, which I don't think would impact anything but it may be useful info. Any help would be appreciated as I'm stumped at this point, this is my first time attempting a Hackintosh.

is it possible to test opencore without wiping the disk? i want opencore but i have nowhere to move my precious data so quickly and also no time for errors as online classes. i've made the efi but it sadly does not work i think because of the efi partition not being 200mb. my hardware - AsRock B450 Steel Legend, Ryzen 5 3600X, RX 590, Seagate barracuda 1tb hdd. Also im a bit confused with the setup of opencanopy. thanks i will link my efi if required. I'm currently on Arch (manjaro). also i forgot to mention in hardware, Stock cooler and Corsair Vengeance 2x8g 3000mhz

I used opencore to get Big Sur running on my gaming pc. I borrowed an rx580 for the set up to see if it worked before I bought my own. (I use a 2080s)

My serial number says “To be filled in by oem” Will this cause issues?

Also, I need to leave my usb drive plugged in in order for opencore to allow me to boot into the ssd with Mac OS installed on it. Any tips for that or will that need to be plugged in whenever I plan to use it?

As much as I enjoyed the research, build, and configuration processes involved in getting a Hackintosh up and running, I don't really know what to do with it now. I initially started the project wanting to use it to get familiar with MacOS (job prospects, sake of learning, etc), and to do app development. Now, I'm not to sure what else to do. Anyone have any suggestions?

It seems like the recent BIOS upgrade enables the Resize BAR support (aka smart access memory), but seems like changing it will trigger some ACPI error which stops the system and/or the installer from booting, anyone have any luck with this? It is annoying to turn it off every time I want to boot to my macOS.

I just wanted to post this here in case anyone else was having this issue.

My Ryzen 9 3900x Hackintosh was always freezing whenever the processor was idling. I honestly couldn't find out why this was because Windows was 100% stable. I did have a slight undervolt to keep temps down, and apparently that was causing instability in macOS. Returning the voltage back to normal in the BIOS worked like a charm! I hope this helps anyone who is trying to troubleshoot this issue on their own Ryzentoshes. Happy hacking!

really weird behavior but im using a wired usb mouse and for the last few weeks the mouse will just randomly stop responding and slide across screen. Its only 1 or 2 seconds but annoying. Ive updated to the latest opencore and catalina 10.15.7. This issue didnt exist before my last update to opencore By the way,.

any suggestions on where / how to troubleshoot this issue?

Hello guys, i'm currently using a 2015 15" MBP as workstation and i have recently built a new rig based on a Ryzen 3900XT / x570 / RTX 3080 combo and i would love to use it as a dual boot hackintosh.

My previous hackintosh used a GTX 1080 but if i'm not wrong, Big Sur is not compatible anymore with them, which leaves me with a choice :

• Keep my 1080 and try to hackintosh the new rig on Catalina
• Try to get a cheap AMD card

What would be the best choice for you guys ?

So I am having this annoying issue. I am trying to boot the High Sierra installer on an AMD machine of mine. The verbose text completes, and the Apple logo appears. Nothing. I can move the cursor around, but nothing happens. This is annoying and I want to know how to get past it. Nowhere helped, so my last hope is here. I followed the dortaina guide and my processor is an AMD Bulldozer thing. Any help is appreciated

Hello Everyone,

I have a Big Sur Hackintosh and I recently made a hackintosh vs windows performance difference

I made a basic render test that took 1min7sec in windows and 58sec on macOS

but, I felt that windows felt a little more snappier than macOS throughout the run,

I had many rainbow circle in macOS but performance wise, macOS seems to be better

1TB hard disks for mac and windows each

I can't use sidecar wirelessly. I can use it only with a wired connection.

Can this be completely installed and configured properly without needing a real Mac? I’ve read some tutorials that I will be needing a real Mac for some parts.
