Hackintosh Guide with Clover Bootloader on Serie 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

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

Q: 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.

Hello MaLd0n,

I hope that you remember my setup and the problem I had with sleep in HS, now I followed your guide and install the Mojave image you provided I didn't add any extra KEXT or any patches to my DSDT or USB or anything. I really want you to do that from the beginning maybe we can fix the old problem I had in my X10DAI motherboard with HS if we start on a clean setup.

- I used the clover folder you provided.

- The system boots fine, PCI devices show like it should be the sound work through DisplayPort nicely.

- Sleep works fine but when I press the power button the system never wakes* not like HS restart itself.

- I can't see USB 2.0 only USB 3.0 on the system report but it works fine.

SB.PCI0.BR1A.HPEH

and

_GPE._L01

- the Errors above show repeatedly in the boot progress it happened before but you fix in the last HS DSDT you edit for me.

Hi, I have the same problem on my laptop running MacOS Sierra. When I closed the lid for a few minutes and I open it, the laptop won't turn on even if I already pressed the Power button and move my USB Mouse. How can I fix this issue?

I didn't understand this line

Third, add code to your DSDT to where you wish to cause trace messages to system.log (call \RMDT.PUSH).

what I supposed to add in the DSDT to help you to debug the problem.

MaLd0n · August 26, 2018

i think need debug a _PTS and _WAK

I hope if I install it correctly this new debug file after a sleep attempt.

Hi MaLd0n,

We have very same CPU and GPU in our current build.

This is the first desktop I have built in 8 years.

The last was an i7-860 and later on in it's life a GTS960

Just finished this current build and have it working well without DSDT but would prefer this system as stable as possible with proper hibernation.

Usually have the system running with ASUS BIOS built in 5Ghz Profile

FYI - 2x AMD RX850's

115 Corsair Cooler without Corsair Link cable attached to MB (Prevents sleep and useless in OSX even if it did not)

4x 16GB Corsair

2x NVMe's 250GB

Expansion Card Asus Hyper M.2 X4 M.2 to PCIE Adapter but no slots used at this stage only to future proof build.

Snooze but not sleeps works with this pmset choice - sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3 standby 0 autopoweroff 0

Please let me know what else you need from my end. Donation Done 9K414575XT487645N

Thanks in advance.

I also attached my attempt at my own DSDT - Look and laugh if need be

Maldon, eu uso eGPU nesse note mas ja desisti de tentar fazer ele inicializar o eGPU como primario, sera que existe a possibilidade de fazer pelo dsdt? ou por ser Gen 1 nãe é possível?

Dentro do sistema ele roda os programas de testes, está lá full aceleration, mas quando vou usar algum aplicativo tipo FCPX, Davinci, nada de rodar em openCL , nessa bios n tem como desabilitar o intelHD maldito!rsrs

Grande Abraço

MaLd0n · August 27, 2018
