Z390 EFI

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.

Anyone have a good working and reliable EFI for z390? Using that with the Intel i9 9900KS and radeon vii 16GB graphics.

On macos Catalina 15.1. Won't allow me to upgrade to 15.2. Also iMessage receives messages but cannot send.

When booting get boot failure will sleep in 10 seconds. Even after countless restarts won't go past.

If boot from USB works fine but then won't load the USB ports or any other usb ports on the motherboard

Thank you I have seemed to have fixed the boot startup. However the problem having is the USB ports. For some reason they did work before but now stopped working after trying to update the clover. My issue is now that my hackintosh has been installed and setup with all my software its a massive job to do a fresh install and would lose my licensing which would cost me more for all my editing suites as pay for special licenses per OS install. Im imagining must be the KEXT folder???
