<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md">AMD Hackintosh restarts during boot but boots fine on second or third attempt...<p>I finally got my AMD laptop running Ventura nice and fine (for me). The trackpad doesn't work yet, but I don't consider that essential since I use a mouse anyway.</p> <p>It does have a weird issue though. When I boot it up, it will restart about 2 or 3 seconds into boot up and try again. It may do this another time but on the third attempt boots perfectly fine. The open core logs will show for each attempt but appear to be the same.</p> <p>I found some attempts by others that said they fixed it by removing the verbose mode flag, but this didn't do anything for me. It seems that macOS is crashing itself perhaps. It's not super urgent since it boots and runs fine at least on the third attempt but has anyone else had any issues like this.</p> <p>​</p> <p>PS.

Recently I don't want to upgrade the hardware, but I want to upgrade the system. Is Monterey similar to the Ventura speed?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --><div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert dark"><p>Certainly! Upgrading your iMac to macOS Monterey can be a good idea if you're looking for new features and improvements. However, whether 4GB of memory (RAM) will be enough depends on your usage patterns and requirements. Here's a comparison of macOS Monterey with macOS Ventura, along with considerations for upgrading your iMac's memory:</p><p><strong>macOS Monterey vs. Ventura:</strong></p><ol><li><p><strong>Features and Improvements:</strong> macOS Monterey introduces several new features and enhancements over macOS Ventura.

Here's a guide and some additional insights on upgrading to macOS Sonoma on your Alder Lake Hackintosh:</p><p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:18"><strong>Compatibility:</strong></p><ul data-sourcepos="7:1-9:0">
<li data-sourcepos="7:1-7:155"><strong>Good News:</strong> Alder Lake (12th Gen Intel) is generally well-supported in macOS Sonoma. You shouldn't encounter major hurdles during the upgrade process.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="8:1-9:0"><strong>Preparation is Key:</strong> As with any major macOS update, backing up your Hackintosh is crucial. Use Time Machine or a cloning tool to have a failsafe if needed.</li>
</ul><p data-sourcepos="10:1-10:20"><strong>Upgrade Process:</strong></p><ol data-sourcepos="12:1-24:0">
<li data-sourcepos="12:1-18:40"><strong>Kexts and Drivers:</strong> Ensure you have the latest versions of the following kexts and drivers, as they are often updated for compatibility with newer macOS versions:
<ul data-sourcepos="13:4-18:40">
<li data-sourcepos="13:4-13:9">Lilu</li>
<li data-sourcepos="14:4-14:18">WhateverGreen</li>
<li data-sourcepos="15:4-15:13">AppleALC</li>
<li data-sourcepos="16:4-16:23">IntelMausiEthernet</li>
<li data-sourcepos="17:4-17:45">Itlwm/Heliport (for your Intel Wi-Fi 6E)</li>
<li data-sourcepos="18:4-18:40">BlueToolFixup (for Intel Bluetooth)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li data-sourcepos="19:1-19:168"><strong>OpenCore Update:</strong> If you use OpenCore as your bootloader, upgrade to the latest stable version to benefit from potential bug fixes and compatibility improvements.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="20:1-20:227"><strong>Config.plist Review:</strong> Double-check your OpenCore <code>config.plist</code> for any Alder Lake-specific quirks, device properties, and SSDT patches you might have applied. Ensure that these are still accurate or updated if necessary.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="21:1-24:0"><strong>The macOS Installer:</strong> You have two primary options:
<ul data-sourcepos="22:5-24:0">
<li data-sourcepos="22:5-22:183"><strong>Recommended: The App Store:</strong> If you are currently on Monterey, the Sonoma installer should appear as an update in the App Store. This is generally the most streamlined path.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="23:5-24:0"><strong>OpenCore Install Media:</strong> For more control over the process, create a bootable Sonoma USB installer using tools like OpenCore Legacy Patcher (OLP).</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol><p data-sourcepos="25:1-25:25"><strong>FaceTime and AirDrop:</strong></p><ul data-sourcepos="27:1-29:0">
<li data-sourcepos="27:1-27:200"><strong>FaceTime</strong> requires a meticulously crafted set of SMBIOS data, a generated valid serial number, and correct board ID and MLB settings. Seek specialized guides and tools for FaceTime on Hackintosh.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="28:1-29:0"><strong>AirDrop</strong> generally works well with compatible WiFi/Bluetooth cards. If you're using Itlwm/Heliport, ensure continuity features are enabled correctly in your configuration.</li>

When it comes to choosing between the Radeon Pro W5700 and the reference RX 5700 for your Hackintosh, there are a few factors to consider. Both GPUs are based on the same underlying architecture, but there are some differences in terms of performance and compatibility with macOS.</p><ol><li><p><strong>Performance</strong>: In terms of raw performance, the reference RX 5700 may offer slightly better gaming performance compared to the Radeon Pro W5700. This is because the reference RX 5700 is optimized for gaming and comes with higher clock speeds out of the box.</p></li><li><p><strong>Compatibility</strong>: Both GPUs are compatible with macOS, but the Radeon Pro W5700 may offer better compatibility and stability for professional applications due to its workstation-oriented design. However, for general usage and gaming on a Hackintosh, either GPU should work fine with the appropriate drivers and configuration.</p></li><li><p><strong>I/O Ports</strong>: One notable difference between the two GPUs is the I/O ports. The Radeon Pro W5700 is typically equipped with a variety of display outputs, including DisplayPort and HDMI, suitable for professional workstations. On the other hand, the reference RX 5700 may have a more standard set of display outputs geared towards gaming.</p></li><li><p><strong>Benefits of Pro Model</strong>: While you mentioned that you don't do video editing, the Radeon Pro W5700 may still offer some benefits for tasks such as music production in Logic Pro. Professional GPUs like the W5700 are often optimized for workstation tasks and may provide better performance and stability in certain applications, especially those that rely on GPU acceleration.</p></li></ol><p>Ultimately, the choice between the Radeon Pro W5700 and the reference RX 5700 comes down to your specific needs and preferences. If you prioritize gaming performance and compatibility for general usage on your Hackintosh, the reference RX 5700 may be the better option. However, if you value stability and potential benefits for professional applications, the Radeon Pro W5700 could be worth considering.</p></div>
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md">W5700 or reference 5700 ?<p>Hey 👋 I want to upgrade from my RX 5600 XT MSI Gaming X to a RX 5700 because it seems that my 5600 XT is starting to wear down/die (I get artifacts now which I’ve never had before + the GPU is 5 years old now). So I wanted to ask what would be better for my hackintosh as I could either buy a Radeon Pro W5700 or the normal reference RX 5700 for each being the same price of 199€. What would be the difference besides the I/O ports for macOS performance and could there be any benefits gained by using the pro model ? I don’t do any video editing or anything but maybe it can help in some logic task for my music ? :D </p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Early-Ticket-6758"> /u/Early-Ticket-6758 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1bd7kh0/w5700_or_reference_5700/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/1bd7kh0/w5700_or_reference_5700/">[comments]</a></span> <hr/><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9h3JDjWJ7dj3CtjB0HrjWAABWKHcQTv-AIqq-2Z_U2o58Nh_nZkLis9nOvfx0mNFAOiNAP12XeZ307DrVHD6R3-b2ckvnOrVl8tG59hOQDECOVGwUMjpaX54d-X7dbKRGEbyX5rb0TzTGeZn9JZfeTOIUxP1aDzoTZJB1L6y73ZZBwVuoAma6pHl1xg/s400/iatkos_logo.jpg" height="0" width="0"/>

<h3>USB Problems after 14.4 Update?</h3>
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing random USB problems after doing the Sonoma 14.4 update? I completely re-mapped my USB ports last fall when Sonoma 14.0 was released and <a href="https://www.tonymacx86.com/members/876756/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="876756" data-username="@Edhawk">@Edhawk</a> was kind enough to verify my new map's integrity. No problems after that until I updated to 14.4 last week. Now it seems some USB device or another fails at random after cold startups: one day it was my Realtek USB audio, the next that was fine but my (wired) mouse wasn't working.<br />
<br />
Doing a quick restart after each occurrence solved both problems, but they never happened before the Sonoma 14.4 update.<br />
