Hello again, I've previously made a post about not being to install due to legacy shim, but since then I've been able to install fully and boot via HD. The biggest hurdle next for me is to get graphics acceleration working on my system.

Build:
MOBO: ASRock Z390 Pro4

CPU: i7-8086k

GPU: GTX 1080 (dGPU), UHD 630 (iGPU)

RAM: 16GB Corsair LPX 2667

STORAGE: 250GB Samsung EVO 850

​

I've tried via Vanilla install and Headkaze's guide for framebuffer patching, but no luck so far. I'll attach my EFI folder here (I've redacted SMBIOS info but it is set to iMac18,1 all according to vanilla guide):

https://www.dropbox.com/s/koklsukeovl03rd/EFI_hollowtree.zip?dl=1

BIOS settings are iGPU first, connected via HDMI and 32MB shared memory (allocated to iGPU).

​

Getting MacOS to read UHD 630 graphics but it says only 14MB of VRAM available, and obviously the animations and stuff aren't smooth. Thanks for any help/insight!

So i built my i5 8600k with gigabyte gaming 5 mobo before the current mac refreshes came out and it is still using smbios as 18,1 and i was wondering what should i use now a new mac mini 8,1 i7 8700B smbios or a new imac 19,2 i7 8700B smbios

also i dont even see options for new i5 models in clover config

As the title implies, I'm a broke CS undergrad who wants to build his own Hackintosh that'll work post install with almost no issues. While I don't mind saving up to $1000 for it, I would rather not. If you guys can help with a build, that'll be awesome! :)

Also, GPU would be great to have since I'm interested in developing iOS apps

Hi there everyone.

​

I just ordered the WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe SSD after researching around online and confirming that other Hackintoshers have the exact same SSD working in macOS. I was previously planning on buying the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, but after some research I've found that model to not function properly with macOS. I saw the advice to opt for a 970 EVO Pro instead somewhere either on this forum or another Hackintosh webspace, but I wasn't willing to pay the extra price premium for minimal performance differentiation. Reference below...

​

Samsung 970 EVO Pro 512GB @ $167.99:

- Read: "Up to 3500MBps"

- Write: "Up to 2300MBps"

​

WD Black SN750 500GB @ $104.99:

- Read: "Up to 3470MBps"

- Write: "Up to 2600MBps"

​

TLDR;

As the title suggests, I've ordered my first NVMe SSD and want to move all my existing data over to the new drive once it arrives. I'd like to mirror EXACTLY my current 250GB SATA SSD right over to the 500GB NVMe SSD if possible so that everything is as if nothing changed.

​

How can I do this without data loss? What's the best method?

​

Thank you for reading.

Hi all, I had a perfectly good hackintosh working fine except for one or two issues up until an hour ago when I installed HWMonitor with all options checked in the customise box. This I think, installed a new fakeSMC and now I cannot boot after restart. I get to the clover options, select my boot and see Apple logo for one second before it restarts. Trouble is I cannot figure out out to debug. I don't have the clover config on a usb. I am running i8700k, Asus prime ii z370 mobo, sapphire pulse rx580 8gb graphics, 32gb ram. The reason I wanted HWMonitor is because the fans on the GPU were not running at a min speed and would kick in to high gear all of a sudden being very noisey so wanted to check the temps.

Can I disable some kexts in clover or boot to safe mode or replace my config file?

If you need any more info to help please ask. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is a normal issue with Hackintoshes, but I recently tried using a portable USB DVD drive with my Hackintosh, but it doesn't seem to be seen by the machine. It get power, opens and closes, but when a disc is inserted it doesn't mount and Disk Utility doesn't see it.

Can anyone help with troubleshooting steps to see why this isn't working and how I might be able to get it going?

Thanks!

I keep having issues booting the installer for 10.14.4 and i was told that 10.14.3 and earlier worked just fine with DosDude1's patch. Problem is i cant find any standalone installation media for 10.14.3 or earlier at all. Is there any chance someone can give me a download of theirs or point me somewhere i can download it?

Hi all, I just wanted to make a quick post stating that this WiFi adapter is working on my NUCintosh build with 10.14.4.

​

I downloaded the driver from here: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tl-wn823n/#Driver

After wiping my hard drive and installing Mojave via clover, I get a panic when trying to boot up.

Boot into my USB > boot macOS install from base system > format HDD as MacOS Extended Journal then install > reboot into USB > boot macOS install from HDD > panic.

I've found very little info about my CPU/iGPU in my searches so that's likely where I'm going wrong. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you!

Got this card as a gift, the Sentey iteration / 2GB DDR5. Did a bit of google-fu and found out it should be possible to get it working with Hackintosh.

I have a Mojave install that works fine, but can't get it to boot with this card.

Could anyone share a basic config for this card (especially the graphics & PCI settings on clover) so I have a quick reference of how it works for other people? Doesn't matter if you are using HS or S or Mojave just want to have a quick look.

Thanks in advance!
