Success 4 Monitors RX580

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 was successfully able to have 4 Monitors working in Catalina 10.15.1 and Sierra 10.12.6. These are connected to a ASUS ROG-STRIX-RX580-O8G-GAMING GPU. 3 are running in 1080p and 1 is running 1440p. I do have one issue though and maybe someone can give me a pointer on 3rd party software. The desktop backgrounds will never stay the same after restart nor will the daytime and night time setting. I will manually change them and when a reboot happens or I go to another OS, the desktop backgrounds just change. I've tried different things and even set it to not dictate the daytime or night time mode. Any ideas?

Oh and I can load alot of websites, but www.STARZ.com refuses to load. Netflix, YouTube, other videos will load but not Starz. I have tried this only on Safari and Chrome.
