Hackintosh with B75 1155LGA and Nvidia GT 1030

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.

I need help getting my Hackintosh up and running. It boots up, but there is no internet and the image is distorted. How can I fix this?

My configuration:

Motherboard: Intel Corporation B75 1155 LGA
CPU: Intel Core i5 2400
GPU: NVIDIA GT 1030
OS: macOS Catalina

I installed macOS Catalina, but the wired internet doesn't work. I also tried using my phone as a USB tethering device, but that didn't work either.

My EFI folder: https://www.mediafire.com/file/732tlrg6ygulehz/EFI.zip/file

Additional details:

I'm using the Clover bootloader.
I've tried searching for solutions online, but I haven't been able to find anything that works.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Stay on high sierra and install nvidia web driver

If u need new system u need to use OCLP

How can I create EFI with OCLP? Do you have a tutorial to help me? I want to use Monterey or some newer OS on this hackintosh

I just installed High Sierra with the same EFI, but I still haven't ethernet, and in Hackintool it doesn't show the kext "RealtekRTL8111" which is the kext that would work on my network card.
The sound is also not working, along with my screen resolution is wrong

Use old kext version for lan card
