Big Sur on Sandy Bridge & GT710


Well, at first I didn't plan to upgrade from catalina to big sur, but my catalina (i installed catalina using clover) started randomly freezing. After I asked to r/hackintosh, u/Bblktop suggested me to install big sur using opencore and see if the freeze disappears.

And yeah, i succeed to install big sur on my old PC by followed this guide

  • CPU: Intel Core i3 2130
  • GPU: Galax GT 710 2GB
  • RAM: 8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
  • Motherboard: Maxxon H61M-X
  • Audio Codec: Apple ALC662
  • Ethernet Card: Realtek RTL8105E Megabit Ethernet
  • Wifi/BT Card: TP-Link TL-WN725N/TP-Link UB400

At first i couldn't boot into usb installer (watchdog 0 or something i forgot). After i googled, someone suggested to use Hsfpluslegacy instead of Hsfplus, and change WhiteFlash to No/False. Finally I could boot into usb installer

Thanks for dortania & r/hackintosh for awesome guide!
