Custom PC in 2021 Hackintosh Compatibility

Hi all,

First post here. Currently building a custom Pc as a mac user. Was really keen on getting a fully function hackintosh working, especially with most parts being relatively new.

Specs:

Case: IQUNIX ZX-1 Aluminum Mini-ITX Case

Motherboard: Z690 Mini ITX (12th Gen Intel Support + DCIP 4.0 + DDR5 RAM)

CPU: Intel 12th Gen Core i7-12700KF LGA 1700 Unlocked Desktop Processor

GPU: Leadtek Quadro P4000 8GB DGGR5 GPU (Checked works with High Sierra and nothing above)

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4

SSD: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB 3-bit MLC V-NAND M.2 (2280) NVMe SSD (PCIE 4.0) (Realised Samsung SSD are problematic and will change to a non samsung SSD)

PSU: Corsair 750W SF750 Platinum High Performance SFX Power Supply

CPU COOLER: NZXT Kraken X53 R1 240mm AIO

Main questions:

- Does Alder Lake CPUs on a Z690 motherboard work? (More specifically on High Sierra due to quadro p4000 GPU)
There are discussion on Alder Lake CPUs working on Hackintosh with some saying the E cores need to be disabled. Does this mean a hard wired disable where it would be disabled on the native windows or is this something done within the Hackintosh alone?

- The Z690 Mini ITX (12th Gen Intel Support + DCIP 4.0 + DDR5 RAM) has Intel WIFI 6E AX210 and Bluetooth 5.2

I guess it all comes down to whether these hardwares will work on High Sierra. Especially getting airdrop to work.

Any tips and comments appreciated !
