Been driving me nuts trying to find some sort of Lenovo, HP, Dell mini that would support the ability to use here in the office for Plex and things like that. With the help of robots here is what I found out. Here’s a combined overview of Intel CPUs with integrated GPUs such as Intel Iris Plus Graphics G4, G7, and Intel UHD Graphics, along with their relevance to Apple's macOS ecosystem: Intel CPUs with iGPUs: Iris Plus Graphics G4, G7, and UHD Graphics Intel integrated GPUs like Iris Plus Graphics G4, G7 and UHD Graphics were widely used in Intel’s 10th Generation processors (Ice Lake and Comet Lake families). These GPUs were supported by macOS on Intel-based Macs before Apple transitioned to Apple Silicon. Intel Iris Plus Graphics G4 and G7 These iGPUs belong to the Ice Lake (10th Gen) family and are built on Intel’s 10nm process. They deliver improved graphics performance, supporting tasks like light gaming, media editing, and macOS's Metal API for hardware acceleration. Processors with Intel Iris Plus Graphics G4: Intel Core i3-1005G1 Intel Core i3-10110Y Processors with Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7: Intel Core i5-1035G4 Intel Core i5-1035G7 Intel Core i7-1065G7 Intel Core i7-1060G7 Intel UHD Graphics These iGPUs are found in both Ice Lake and Comet Lake (10th Gen) processors. They are designed for everyday tasks like office work, media playback, and light multitasking but have less graphical power compared to Iris Plus. Processors with Intel UHD Graphics: Intel Core i3-10100 Intel Core i3-10100T Intel Core i3-10110U Intel Core i5-10210U Intel Core i5-10300H Intel Core i7-10510U Intel Core i7-10710U Intel Core i9-10980HK Relevance to macOS and Apple Devices Supported by Apple: These GPUs were featured in Apple’s Intel-based Macs, such as: MacBook Air (2020): Intel Core i3/i5 with UHD Graphics and Iris Plus G7. MacBook Pro (2020): Intel Core i5/i7 with Iris Plus G7. Mac mini (2018–2020): Intel Core i3/i5 with UHD Graphics. iMac (2019–2020): Intel Core i3/i5/i7 with UHD Graphics or Iris Plus G7. macOS Optimization: macOS supported these GPUs with hardware acceleration and the Metal API, enabling smooth performance for graphical tasks. Legacy and Transition: With the transition to Apple Silicon (M1/M2), macOS optimization shifted focus away from Intel iGPUs. However, Intel-based Macs with these GPUs remain compatible with recent macOS versions, such as macOS Monterey and Ventura. Choosing Between Iris Plus and UHD Graphics Iris Plus Graphics G4/G7: Recommended for better graphical performance (e.g., photo/video editing, light gaming). UHD Graphics: Suitable for general tasks and basic media consumption. These GPUs provide a reliable experience for macOS users still using Intel-based Macs, but Apple's M-series processors significantly outperform them in both graphics and overall efficiency.

Thank you. I also found this! If anyone else is looking here you go.

Looking around my eyes are getting crossed. Any of you folks have a recommendation for USB wifi adapters ?

Where do I read up on ocip ? https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.IntelHD.en.md#intel-uhd-graphics-610-650-kaby-lake-and-amber-lake-y-processors I found this.

Nice! I'll use the igpu then. I do see issues while using it. TV Room.zipACPI .zip

Core I5-4590 is the CPU in this one. Intel 4600. Might be great with just the iGPU? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/80815/intel-core-i54590-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-70-ghz/specifications.html?linkId=93554885 GPU Specifications GPU Name‡ Intel® HD Graphics 4600 Graphics Base Frequency 350 MHz Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency 1.15 GHz Graphics Video Max Memory 2 GB Graphics Output eDP/DP/HDMI/VGA Max Resolution (HDMI)‡ 4096x2304@24Hz Max Resolution (DP)‡ 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (eDP - Integrated Flat Panel)‡ 3840x2160@60Hz Max Resolution (VGA)‡ 1920x1200@60Hz DirectX* Support 11.2/12 OpenGL* Support 4.3 Intel® Quick Sync Video Yes Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology Yes Intel® Flexible Display Interface (Intel® FDI) Yes Intel® Clear Video HD Technology Yes # of Displays Supported ‡ 3 Device ID 0x412

I have a couple of these HP 600s we use for our TV Rooms. Im not sure the Video card would work out. These have the Intel IGPU on the CPU. I did get the install done without issue. Again thanks to this site. I need to tune the config for igpu but was wondering if the AMD Radeon R7 450 cards will work under Sequoia. Ideally Id like to use these cards for the TVs that are Samsung 60s if I cant use the IGPU.

Completed working running great still. Thank you! Supermicro X10SRL-F - Intel-based motherboard 128GB (4x32GB) PC4-19200R 2400MHz DDR4 ECC Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4 - 8-core, 16-thread, 140W, 3.20GHz, LGA 2011-3 Intel X540-T2 - 10Gb card AMD RX580 - 8GB Video Card

System wont boot now.

Ok trying it now

This is the longest it has ever ran. Try this one Steve’s Mac Pro_NEW.zip

I dont see boot picker option New ioreg attached Steve’s Mac Pro.zip

It booted. Currently using the 10G nic with out issue. I also do not see the former Reset NVRam in the boot menu. That has changed from graphical to terminal style. Can I reset nvram from the OC configurator ? I also donated more to the site. 🙂

ACPI and IOReg attached. ACPI .zip Steve’s Mac Pro.zip

I did create a runme file from runme.app. Nice tool ! I'll grab the others in a bit. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2qpgc4qwex1ke00d9x5t6/Send-me-Steves-Mac-Pro.zip?rlkey=l1le8z0su6yldj6quvszo07lv&dl=0

Not sure what to do at this point MaLd0n It runs but after awhile it hangs. Is this where Id request a DSDT file ?

Booting from usb as I build the efi folder. I did add the Lucy Kext for 10G Intel nics. I have a couple here at the studio. The onboard intel i210 nics are seen with the default builds which is nice but once I plug a network cable into either of the ports the thing hangs trying to get an IP. So I disabled those and gave up trying to use those. Now I put in either a intel x520,x540 or 85xxxx in any of the PCI slots. Go to network settings and the device is seen. Again once I put a network cable on it the system hangs. I even have other 1G intel cards here too and those as well are doing the same thing. Im starting to believe this issues is going to be related to BIOS settings. The video cards I have a a couple RX480s and a couple of RX580s here. I tried to disable CSM via With AMD GPU disable CSM and it wont boot with the video card. I think Im down to BIOS settings again Im stuck here.

So for today I am going over all the kext files and pulling out what I do not need. Let me know if I need to provide anything to assist you in assisting me. Im dumb at this. I'll buy diner.

I dont think I injected the kext correctly. After using the system on the Apple USB 10/100 dongle after a bit the system just hangs. I think some of the network drivers that are loading should not be there. Im lost at this point. Do I just start removing unwanted stuff from the EFI partition ? Should I create a new post in Sequoia? Current EFI Im using is the default EFI.Opencore.Desktop.HEDT.Broadwell-E.

That did work to see the 540 card and the onboard i210 card. However once you plug in a eth cable it seems to hang yet again as before. Because Im hackintosh stupid I have no idea where to go from here. Currently the system is networked using an old 10/100 Apple USB dongle. Let me know what you need from me even if it takes sending in another donation I'll do it.

Thank you! I'll give that a shot today. I never used Opencore before and still going thru the installation items.

It works but cannot get the nics to work. Tried using an intel 520 and an intel 540TX but after you login the machine hangs. Anyone else have this issue? I did remove the e1000 items from boot-args but that didnt help at all.

Its alive! Sequoia 15.1.1 installed. Now I need to work on the nics. Intel i210 things. Still reading the boards.

Ok, motherboard, CPU, and RAM installed with an AMD RX580! I grabbed Sequoia 15.1.1 from Olarila Vanilla Images macOS Installer. Then I downloaded the EFI for Desktop HEDT Broadwell-E from Hackintosh EFI Folders with OpenCore Mod. I’m following the instructions from Easy, Fast, and Perfect Vanilla Hackintosh. Here’s the hardware being used: a) Supermicro X10SRL-F - Intel-based motherboard b) 64GB (2x32GB) PC4-19200R 2400MHz DDR4 ECC c) Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4 - 8-core, 16-thread, 140W, 3.20GHz, LGA 2011-3 I’m diving in! Let’s see how far I get. 🤞

Good morning, We’re taking the plunge and starting a new Hackintosh build using an X99 platform sourced from eBay. Here’s the hardware we’re planning to use: a) Supermicro X10SRL-F - Intel-based motherboard b) 64GB (2x32GB) PC4-19200R 2400MHz DDR4 ECC c) Intel Xeon E5-1660 v4 - 8-core, 16-thread, 140W, 3.20GHz, LGA 2011-3 This setup looks promising for what we need. Has anyone had experience with this motherboard or CPU combination? Thanks in advance, Steve
