I just installed Big Sur on my machine and now there's an update to Monterey should I be updating it?

(Computer Model: Acer PH-315-53-72XD)
(dGPU: RTX 2060 Mobile)

Hi, as the title says the computer I am trying to patch has been having some issues regarding dGPU and wake. This laptop refuses to keep the dGPU off after wake, and it consumes more than twice the power it did when it was disabled.

The OpenCore ACPI Guide suggests one of 2 methods to disable your dGPU on a laptop; one of them is the Optimus, which essentially is what most laptops use. Then there's the Bumblebee method. More information over at dortania.github.io.

I've tried both of those methods and both work perfectly fine. But according to Intel Power Gadget, power readings are higher when the laptop is woken from sleep.
(Before Sleep: 0.80 Average, 2 Hours and 57 Minutes of Charge Remaining)
(After Sleep: 12-15.3 Average, 42 Minutes of Charge Remaining)
The OpenCore ACPI Guide on disabling dGPU on Dual GPU Laptops links to a thread which is 7 years old documented by RehabMan. This guide is very detailed and goes over many of the steps, but it is complicated and I couldn't comprehend it.
I am aware of SSDT-PTSWAK, but it didn't appear to work in my case, maybe I did it wrong.
Are there any modern solutions to this that are easy for everyone to do? If so, please comment down below and any help would be really appreciated.

^{(Please read thoroughly, as everything I've tried and done has been documented above to avoid unhelpful replies.})

Im having issues with my hackintosh installation

My specs are

CPU: i5-7400

GPU: MSI GTX 1050 TI

Motherboard: MS-B9071

RAM: 16GB

​

I will send the log soon

Is it me or does Mac OS generally have an issue auto connecting to anything Bluetooth that is not an Apple product?!

I have the MX Master 3 mouse and without a wired mouse I cannot really go in and connect to this.

Is there a setting to change or perhaps a script I can write to make this happen or is this a Hackintosh issue?! I’ve seen these issues outside of Hackintosh on the internet, but figured it could’ve been a case by case basis

can i make hackintosh this specifications?

• i5 9500F
• RAM 8GB
• ASUS GTX1060
• MSI B360M
• HDD 1TB / SSD 120GB

Hi, i'm planning on building a Hackintosh in the next few months and I was wondering what my options are for GPU's? I've tried looking this up but it seems opinions seem to vary. I'll be using this machine for Logic Pro X and some light video editing as well as casual games like Minecraft. Gaming performance is really not a big deal to me so I don't want to buy something like a GeForce and go through the process of installing drivers. I also don't want to spend more than $200. Basically I would need something just good enough. I am currently daily driving a Macbook Pro 2015 15 inch which has an AMD Radeon R9 and I am more than happy with performance on there so take that as a reference. Any help appreciated!

Hi Hackintoshers, Sahil here, trying to install macOS BIG Sur on my system. But I always got stuck on "#[EB|LOG:EXITBS:START]". M attaching an open-core log file as well.

​

My specs are as follows:

CPU - Intel i5 8400(Coffee Lake)

MB - ASUS PRIME B360M-D

RAM - 16GB

Graphic Card - AMD Radeon R7 240

Audio - Realtek811

​

Please help me out, I'm literally getting frustrated for the last 2 weeks.

Hello, so I’m extremely new to mackintosh and had no idea there was a community who actively created them in different machine, I have seen some Ventura action going on but I would like to sail the same boat as they are but I have no clue to how to get started, I know about the get started thing on top but I wanted to know if the set up of the different os version is different or the same, I haven’t seen much about it so knowing how this works would be an amazing help. Thank you in advanced to all who helped me!

Alright. I Hackintoshed. I use the Nvidia Web Drivers on High Sierra. I’ve noticed a strange issue where if I have both of my monitors plugged in during boot, it’ll send no signal when the Apple logo is supposed to appear. When I remove one monitor suddenly it shows it and login fine. Any other Nvidia mains get this problem?

All works perfectly except this two ... Hyper threading not enabling and Trim not working for samsung evo 850...someone help me to fixed this ...

look i am very new when it comes to hackintosh and i get that i am very late when it comes to trying to have an el capitan hackingtosh but i got to ask. is it it possible to do it with an AMD fx processor? i highly doubt it (considering that el cap was intel mac era) and if so how or is there any guides out there? resources relating to el cap is very small

Hello! I just bought a PC with the only purpose of turning it into a Hackintosh Monterey and, guess what, it's my first time. Well, let's begin. First of all, my build:

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 which is Ivy Bridge

GPU: I plan to use the my GPU because there's no display port in my motherboard so it would be RogStrix GTX 1060 6gb OC. I know that my GPU is not supported since high sierra, can I use it for the purpose of display only?

RAM: HyperX Fury 2x8gb located in the 2 slots next to the CPU

Motherboard/Desktop model: Asus Sabertooth P67

Bios Brand: American Megatrends Inc.

Ethernet Card: Realtek 8821CU, but I plan to use a Wireless USB Card

What files/config I am using: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1rJAyrP8Ng1k7ZOZMaiMfMZWkR0xeLDEj?fbclid=IwAR07UUe9TaSRoLbtbsb8WMHYBNGdEoPjle5Bpxdzy6nqOikpyZ724vreRJc

I started following the guide and all went well during the preparation of the USB drive and boot the USB and I'm stuck at at the end reports a common " [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] " error. See the picture in this error https://ibb.co/Tc9dn00

When I'm checking in the dortania's guide there's a guide for troubleshooting in [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] and I see about this section.

If your firmware supports MATs:

Enable both RebuildAppleMemoryMap
and SyncRuntimePermissions
then disable EnableWriteUnprotector.

Actually it says that MAT is supported only in newer firmwares but I assumes that I do have MAT so I changed it.

Again after I boot the USB I'm just pass in the error but there's another error which is stuck in this " ** In Memory Panic Stackshot Succeedd ** ". See the picture in this error https://ibb.co/6rK4qPg

I don't know now to fix this error. I'm stuck this for almost a 2 weeks

Here's my EFI and Log file that uploaded to my drive. I already shared to public so that everyone can access.

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Hello! I am new and i wan't some help on how/if can install macOS on my PC. I dont know how to do it at all like do i need my EFI mainboard? or do i need from my CPU? if someone can help me and explain me how i will be glad to.

Here are my pc spec:

CPU: Intel i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz;

Mainboard: Intel Corp. DH67BL AAG10189-208;

GPU: AMD RX550 4G DDR5;

I am going to buy a new computer in the next 4 months and i wanted to try to make a dual boot with Windows 10 or 11 for gaming and Mac OS Big Sur for programming.

One of the options i thought about was to get a Ryzen 5950x, 32gb of ram, 2tb SSD m2 with a 3080ti and a cheaper 200 euros AMD GPU compatible with Big Sur as i don't want to get an AMD card for gaming. (I don't name brands or concrete products on the ram, SSDs, motherboard, etc because i don't know which one i should get or i will get).

The thing is that with hardware i am really noob and i am worried of the possibility of this causing any issues of overheat, performance or any of this nature.

Is there a risk about anything of this? Should i worry?

And do you guys have any recomendations on the rest of components for what i want to do? Like maybe the motherboard or anything else.

Thx in advance! <3 <3 <3

Does anyone success to hackintosh the Monterey into a GTX 1050ti Card. I've read a thread where there's some updates stuff on OpenCore and it mentioned that GTX 1050ti works on Monterey but ofcourse there is some still issues on it. I don't know where to start on monterey but I've tried once hackintoshing my GTX 1050ti in High Sierra

Hi there,

The God of Thunder (Thor) was in our town last week and it caused a disaster for so many people. Thor or Thors like in this funny commercial must have been very, very angry and thousands of lightning strikes hit the town in a few hours.

Believe it or not I was watching Avengers: Endgame at that right moment and heard a loud POP sound from my xDSL modem router, it exploded and my PC reset with a kernel panic. I immediately turned off the PC and monitor. There was a high pitch noise in the room that was coming from the modem router. Probably high voltage caused a capacitor to explode and others to make loud coil whine. Noise decreased when I unplugged the DSL line RJ11 cable from back of the modem router and it stopped when I unplug its power adapter. Then I turned off the power strip that PC, monitor and all of my devices plugged in as Thors keep feeding those lightning strikes.

In the morning I turned on the PC, hoping it works, fingers crossed and yes it turned on and booted macOS with kernel panic log. The log was mentioning CPU related entries. And my ethernet controller was gone. No name, no MAC address, nothing. Checked Hackintool and my ethernet kext wasn't loaded. OC probably doesn't load any kexts if it doesn't find the hardware.

So, I'm kind of lucky that the lightning strike only fried my modem router and ethernet controller on the mainboard. Glad to have gaming board though, they have lots of protections and it saved other components from getting damaged. My neighbors weren't that lucky though. One of the lightning strikes hit my neighbor's satellite dish, went through the cable and fried their receivers, TVs and other devices and even appliances. It jumped from satellite dish to telco wall box in neighbor's building and went through phone cable to hit my modem router (Jeez Murphy!). My cable comes from that box too.

I know it's recommended to unplug power cords when there is a thunderstorm but who unplugs sat tv cable from their receiver and phone/dsl cable from the modem router, right?

Concerns and Questions

Since my ethernet has gone, I don't know what will happen to the iServices I set it up with ethernet ROM, en0. Now it works fine with WiFi so far but I'll get a new modem router soon and will use ethernet.

My monitor Dell Ultrasharp has ethernet port too with its USB hub and I connected the hub with TypeC cable. macOS sees it as an USB ethernet and it got en3 BSD. en1 is my BCM WiFi card.

1. Do you think it will cause any issues with iServices when I connect ethernet cable to the monitor? en0 is attached to my fried ethernet controller's MAC address which is used for ROM in SMBIOS by the guide.
2. There is a macOS update now, how will macOS react to it? Do you think either plugged in to monitor's ethernet port or without it using WiFi will cause any issues when updating?

Thanks!

Edit: My specs and details here in this post. It's an old post before OC but the h/w is the same.

I finally found a system that would work with it except it has no WiFi and I cannot use ethernet (its a desktop and my room has nothing equipped except sockets) I got the recovery DMG to boot but it cant contact the servers obviously. Is there a fully offline one I can boot with OpenCore?

I’ve got a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga and want to know if I can install macOS Ventura on it…

CPU: i5-8365U iGPU: HD 620 RAM: 16 GB

It would be the epitome of awesomeness to hack my Samsung tablet and install MacOS on the Snapdragon 8.

​

I know touch screen might suffer but man....there's just so much value to having mac os be portable like thta...If I could Dual Boot that would be ideal but I wouldnt even know were to begin of if its even possible.

Hello all! I recently bought my friend's PC which I found out is a Hackintosh running macOS from one SSD and Windows from another SSD. However when I tried using macOS I noticed it started being unstable and the display would hang for several seconds that I needed to restart it. I asked him about it and he said I might have to update OpenCore, as he had never updated it from 0.6.4. How would I go about this? I saw that OpenCore is at 0.8.3 so my version is far behind. I'm worried I might break something if I try to just read the guide cause many changes might have been made.

These are the main computer components:
* CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X
* Motherboard: Gigabyte X570I AORUS PRO WIFI
* GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 5700XT

Thank you guys in advance!

I've come across an Acer Switch 3 and am wondering if anyone has managed to get it hackintoshed ?

First of all I wanted to know if HDMI out works on the 10th gen laptops and if it does, does it require a lot of work to get it working?

Next up I’m looking for a laptop to hackintosh but I need to run windows as well since I need it for certain applications. I really like the way that these two laptops look. Do you guys have any suggestions on a specific model that works very well with macOS.

And it is a must that the Wi-Fi card needs to be removable (so I can get universal control and airdrop working). Also as a sidenote I need a laptop with a dedicated GPU because I need it under windows for some graphics intensive tasks like CAD.
