What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hi, I have been following along with your youtube video. I am using Mojave 10.14 Beta (18A365a) on a ASUS Prime Z370-A motherboard with a i7 8700K and a RTX 2080 TI. Everything is working except for the display driver (only one monitor detected, some visual artifacts), audio and sleep. I assume the graphic bugs will have to wait until drivers for the new cards are released(?) Thanks in advance for helping out a noob, you guys are awesome for all that you do! Send me iMac.zip
