I bought and dead Mac Pro 1,1 2006 off Gumtree for $50 and that was the start of the project. My aim was to keep it as stock looking as possible as i love the aesthetic of these cases. My goal was Mac Pro performance for under $1200. This i believe i have achieved. Installation Bios Loaded optimised defaults. Changes from default. Peripherals → USB Configuration → XHCI Hand-off : Enabled Chipset → Vt-d : Disabled Install was completed on Intel® UHD Graphics 630 as i had not purchased the RX570 as yet. Boot USB was created using terminal command "sudo "/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/INSTALLER" Bootloader was installed with Clover Boot Loader EFI partition Config.plist was replaced with Coffeelake version from this website. https://github.com/corpnewt/Hackintosh-Guide/tree/master/Configs KEXTs Installed. WhateverGreen.kext Lilu.kext IntelMausiEthernet.kext FakeSMC_ACPISensors.kext FakeSMC_CPUSensors.kext FakeSMC_GPUSensors.kext FakeSMC_LPCSensors.kext FakeSMC_SMMSensors.kext FakeSMC.kext AppleHDA.kext AppleALC.kext MacOS was installed with no issues during installation. After install Issues Pink Screen Soundcard Sleep with any USB device plugged in. I used the information from this website to fix the pinkscreen fantastic description and easy to follow.. https://www.mathewinkson.com/2013/03/force-rgb-mode-in-mac-os-x-to-fix-the-picture-quality-of-an-external-monitor I used this guide from another amazing person will to share their knowledge to fix the audio. https://hackintosher.com/guides/get-hackintosh-audio-working/ I purchased a Gigabyte RX 570 Gaming 8GB ex-mining card that was remanufactured by Gigabyte and installed it into the system and the only thing i changed was the default card in the Bios. It just worked straight off. I have been using the system now for a couple of weeks and it has now replaced my Mac Mini. The only thing i cannot get to work is the USB sleep as every-time the system sleeps it just restarts Darkwake, for now i have just stopped sleep when monitor turns off setting until i can find a solution as i don't want to unplug the USB devices every-time. Benchmarks. Cinebench CPU Consistently around 1420 GPU Consistently around 140fps Cooling CPU has never throttled under high load running Cinebench 10x in a row the CPU never got above 60c and drops to around 30c straight after tests.
