After some time of trial and error, I finally managed to make my first Hackintosh work (with Wifi, BT etc.). I'm really excited that it seems to be working well, and this week I'm gonna give it a try on my work routine. However, I still face some small issues that I would like to hear from you:
System:
- i5-13600K
- RX 6600
- 32GB RAM
- Rog Strix B760-A Gaming Wifi D4
- OC 0.9.8
- Ventura
- MacPro7.1
FIRST: I hear some cracking noises from my speakers on analog output (that I don't hear when listening to anything using Windows, or on BT). Probably something related to Realtek driver. Has anyone seen something like that?
SECOND: Windows only boots directly from UEFI, from OpenCore it goes direcly to the blue screen of death. By now, I'm keeping it this way because I intend to use it only as a backup in case the Hack doesn't perform well in my daily use - but would appreciate if there's some hint on that.
THIRD: Although Wi-Fi (Intel) has finally started working, I don't get the same speed that I get on Windows. Could it be anything related to Wi-FI 6 support on the driver? Would I have any better results if I buy a dedicated board in the future?
FOURTH: I've run some Geekbench tests to have some hint on overall performance, and got the following results:
CPU Single Core:
- ~ 2500 on Windows
- ~ 1700 on macOS
- ~ 2400 on macOS with AppleXpcmForceBoost
- Similar Geekbench setups on Mac: 2500~2800
CPU Multi-core:
- ~ 11800 on Windows
- ~ 8000 on macOS
- ~ 11100 on macOS with AppleXpcmForceBoost
- Similar Geekbench setups on Mac: 11500~13800
GPU:
- ~ 76000 on Windows (OpenCL)
- ~ 76000 on Windows (Vulkan)
- ~ 61000 on macOS (OpenCL) - below average: 71.000
- ~ 111000 on macOS (Metal) - above average - 103.000 (!!!)
My question here is: how (non-)recommendable it is to use AppleXpcmForceBoost? If not recommendable, what should I use instead to maintain my CPU performance at least similar to those results on Windows?
I've tried to turn AppleXpcmForceBoost off and run CPUFriend + CPUFriendDataProvider (my own data and others'), but the results made no difference at all.
Is there anything that I'm missing or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!!!
