INSTALL 10.12.3
Create an USB Drive Installer of macOS Sierra 10.12.3 with Clover Bootloader
In EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Others add FakeSMC.kext to recognize the System Management Controller
and ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext to recognize keyboard and touch-pad during installation
Start installation in SafeMode (-x)
When you finish, install the last version of Clover to start-up from HDD

NVIDIA GTX 765M
Use any Clover configurator to change the system definition in config.plist
In SMBIOS section choose iMac14,2
In Boot section add the Custom Flag nvda_drv=1 to enable graphics Nvidia with Web Driver
Graphic card will work natively!

AUDIO ALC282
Use any kext installer to install to S/L/E folder these kexts:
AppleHDA.kext (to recognize ALC282 audio)
HDAEnabler13.kext (to assign Layout ID=13)
(Otherwise, you can use the new AppleHDA Patcher.app
to directly patch AppleHDA.kext in S/L/E)

ETHERNET QUALCOMM ATHEROS QCA8171
Install ALXEthernet.kext to S/L/E folder using any kext installer

CARD READER
Install AppleStorageDrivers.kext to S/L/E folder using any kext installer
Though it seems not be recognized, don't worry! It will work correctly!

WI-FI BROADCOM BCM94352
From Os X Mavericks to macOS Sierra I needed to change the WiFi card
In my case, I’ve used a Broadcom BCM94352 half-mini card
For correct working, I needed to install to EFI folder these kexts:
FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext
FakePCIID.kext

Using any Clover configurator, add in config.plist these strings:
<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Brcm4360 Sierra fvco init</string>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Find</key>
<data>81F952AA00007529=</data>
<key>Name</key>
<string>AirPortBrcm4360</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>81F952AA00006690=</data>
</dict>
Change in S/L/E folder the IO80211Family.kext with the same kext you can found in Os X Yosemite Installer

zn49g.jpg
BLUETOOTH BROADCOM BCM20702A0
Install to EFI folder these kexts:
BrcmFirmwareData.kext
BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
BrcmNonPatchRAM.kext
BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext
BrcmPatchRAM.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

MONITORING HWSENSORS
Before to use HWMonitor.app
you need to install to EFI folder these kexts:
FakeSMC_ACPISensors.kext
FakeSMC_CPUSensors.kext
FakeSMC_GPUSensors.kext
FakeSMC_LPCSensors.kext
If you'd like your monitoring appears like this:
33fdq83.jpg
you need to go to HWMonitor.app/Contents/Resources/ and change these files:
multipliers.png and pcicard.png

CUSTOMIZE
To change logo on About This Mac
2j51lrp.jpg
Simply you need to modify this file:
/Applications/Utilities/System Information.app/Contents/Resources/SystemLogo.tiff
For example:

I recently purchased a Asus g750jw and this guide is the best I found to realize my first hackintosh!

 

I think Sa-ROG has done a GREAT JOB!

If there were more specific guides like these, everything would be simpler
It's easy to criticize other people's work, but it's hard to build something
thank you Sa-ROG
I'm with you :) :thumbsup_anim:

No, it's a 4th generation processor Haswell:
Intel I7-4700HQ 6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz
https://ark.intel.com/products/75116/Intel-Core-i7-4700HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz
But in this case, Intel HD Graphics 4600 is physically bypassed.

 

P.S.: I love your photos ;)

I have the Asus G750JX with the GTX 770M but users from the Asus Republic of Gamers forum are using many of my files especially the DSDT.  My backlight is working thanks to Dinesh for the Best DSDT on the planet.  Everything just works.  I have to install 10.12.4 but I have everything working on 10.12.3.  The audio is a bit of a problem since Sierra but SLice's Voodoo takes care of the 2 channel 3 speaker system but the Master volume is still an issue.  There is a workaround.  When I install 10.12.4 I can share my DSDT or all of the patches needed for our DSDT's.  Dinesh has a backlight kext for those systems where the DSDT patch alone will not work.  Rehabman has one as well.

So I have a jm with an 860m in it.  I've managed to get everything working now except for the nvidia gpu.  When I try to install the web driver and add the statement in to use it.  I'll go into a reboot cycle until I pass the flag for nvidia to VESA.  

The reading I've done seems to say that this is because the 860m is an optimus(sp) card.  But the reading I've done would have suggested that yours would have been too.  Any chance someone could elaborate on this?

Hi, thanks to this thread and many hours searching I have Sierra on my G750GX. Mine is a bit different from most as it has a 120hz 3D screen internally connected to a display port. I have a whole load of windows and linux on one mbr disk and this Sierra on a second gpt clover disk.

However, mostly working now, just tidying up a few things.

Do you have the battery level working? I have installed RehabMans ACPIBatteryManager.kext and have an icon in the status bar. It shows when charging but battery percentage is always 0%.

How about mouse scrolling? hardly works at all for my logitech.

Thanks

EDIT: not sure if anyone is actually reading this but...

added a fix in dsdt and battery level working :)

Mouse scrolling works ok with a simple Logitech mouse but not well at all with my Logitech gaming mouse G403 ????????

Hey I have the same pc. can you help me out I've managed to install high sierra but it's excruciatingly slow so I can't perform the post-install stops. could this be something with the drivers. I installed it using inject Nvidia, use web drivers, used the nvdia_drv=1 command. I takes like 10 minutes to open a folder and is constantly stuck.

Hi All! I found a way to change the screen brightness control on Asus G750 Sierra 10.12.3 using the keyboard. To do this, go to settings - keyboard, in the shortcut keys to select the screen and select reduce brightness and increase brightness. Insert a check mark and reassign the keys as desired.
