Made a <a href='/search/label/distro?max-results=12'>Hackintosh</a> one last time before Intel is finally killed off. AMD-only build.

It was a good run and I enjoyed it, even if I spent many nights (on and off) troubleshooting my EFIs over the years. It started with an old OptiPlex 990 and an RX 570 on macOS Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina, then a Surface Go 2 (with working pen support which was pretty cool), and now we're here.

Current System:

  • ASRock B550M Phantom Gaming 4
  • Ryzen 5 4500 (planning on upgrading to a 5700X3D soon)
  • Radeon RX 6700 XT
  • Realtek ALC887/897 Audio
  • Realtek 8111 Gigabit Ethernet
  • Intel AX 200 WiFi (itlwm + HeliPort)
  • Crucial MX500 500GB SATA SSD as macOS boot drive
  • WD_BLACK 1TB NVMe for Windows boot drive
  • Two WD HDDs in an NTFS RAID 0 volume, not readable by macOS unfortunately
  • Additional 2TB Seagate HDD formatted NTFS, read-only of course.

Had to add "-vsmcbeta" to my boot-args and set SecureBootModel to "Disabled" in order to boot. Using NootRX instead of WhateverGreen since Navi 22 isn't supported. Also manually made a custom USB map since the USBtoolbox mapping tool isn't supported on AMD if I remember correctly.
