i5-9400F, Asus Z390 Prime-P, GT 710 - macOS Mojave - It should work, right?

Hi everyone,

As the title suggests, I'm curious if I should run into problems running macOS High Sierra or Mojave without the presence of Intel integrated graphics on the i5 9400F in combination with the Asus Z390 Prime-P motherboard.

Both parts are en-route from Newegg and should be delivered on or before March 4th. I caught the parts together as a bundle for a discount from Newegg. My only concern is that the i5 9400F does NOT have Intel integrated graphics of any sort. It is strictly just a 6-core CPU, meaning users are to supply their own GPU to get any sort of graphics from their machine.

When I placed the order I didn't think I'd have any sort of issue getting up and running since I have a GT 710 1GB on hand (which I know is Mojave compliant since I have used that exact card earlier this month in a Ryzen-based Hackintosh), so I didn't think I needed Intel graphics for any particular reason. I know the Asus Prime-P works as I've read many success threads here and across the web with that particular board.

I ordered these parts because I believed I could get everything up and running on the cheap with pretty good processing power matching the maxed out 2018 Mac mini 6 core model.

TL;DR:

Is anyone here running an Intel-based Hackintosh without Intel integrated graphics (either none on their CPU or iGPU disabled in BIOS) with just a dedicated card? I've seen threads online of people running their machines with iGPU disabled so I'm thinking it will work fine.

My sudden concern rises from someone posting on the tonymacx86 forum about considering getting the i5 9400F and the people on that forum were giving him a ton of shit about how it would apparently be quite a headache to get hardware acceleration with "h.24/h.25" working. I can't tell if the people on that thread are just being d-bags or if there's legitimate reason for concern here.

I would link to the thread but I know this forum is for vanilla Hackintoshers who avoid tonymac like the plague.

Thanks guys. Any input would be appreciated. Just a little worried now.
