installing macOS Monterey or Ventura on this system: ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi 6E, i7-12700K...

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Added the text to Device properties but it didn't work. Not sure if I added it correctly. Would you be so kind to show me step by step how it's done?

Hi MaLd0n,

One more question. Do you have an idea why ethernet does not work with macOS Ventura?

Thanks

Hello,

I have a similar config than @blu24 (Same mother and cpu, different gpu) but I was not able to make it work.

I followed the instructions in the forum, screen freezes during installation. I tried with video card and onboad video card, same result.

Setup:

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/fjq08/saved/gdBZcf

Issue During Installation:

Files (Win 10):

Olarila Monterey 12.6.raw

balenaEtcher-Setup-1.7.9.exe

EFI.Opencore.Desktop.AlderLake.zip

Has anybody run into the same issue before?

Thanks.

blu24 · October 2, 2022

I can install macOS venture. When I remove "dk.e1000=0 e1000=0" from the boot-arg, reboot.

Ethernet appears in the network settings but if I click connect to network, venture freeze/crash.
