A Homeschoolers Workbench Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 How do I tell if a mother board is supported? Is there a page I can go to? Thanks. A.H.W. Sorry for the dumb question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi-sama Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Lmao! You went direct south with that config. Anyway, it's not officially supported by apple but you can go the AMD section here, there is a dedicated thread on how to run macos on ryzen (which is actually quite good!). But since you have an AMD builr it will be harder than any other intel build. You will have to deal with custom kernel on each update (idk about that that much anyway but i heard there was some good news for ryzen cpus) and repatching every other kext too (it's a typical procedure on any hackintosh but more tedious on amd). But hey, you're not losing anything if you try. Good luck. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/321626-ryzen-macos-1012x-sierra-kernel-researchdevelopment-thread/?do=findComment&comment=2377961 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/324392-ryzen-clover-installation-guide-macos-sierra/?do=findComment&comment=2442188 Some links that may be useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Homeschoolers Workbench Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Thanks I Found this build video which convinced me to want to change it to this Mother board. Do you have any thoughts on it? A.H.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.H.W. Honestly, I'm not of a desktop build guy. I would recommend you to choose parts that will work the best for windows/lx as primary goal, then make it work with macos. Idk what's the difference between those mobos (since i don't buy them separately, i always use laptops) but if it's worth the money (and effort), go for it. Ask this in the AMD section, they know the best. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
