steamteam Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hey everyone, after years I come back to Hackintosh. In the early days I played with ozmosis and my good old 4700k. Now I'm back and worked around a 100% working setup with enough power to get me through all my tasks like audio, video cut etc. In this short tutorial I will guide you through BIOS Settings and give you access to my EFI Folder. This I do because I haven't found anything on the web for my setup. Maybe it will help some of you. When you follow the steps you will have a perfect running Hackintosh like I do have now I've chosen the iMac 18,3 because of the easy integration of both Graphic Units and the support of HEVC. Specs: CPU: Intel i7 9700k (Overclocked in Bios to 4,7 GHz) SMBIOS: iMac18,3 (Because of Dedicated Graphics and HEVC Intel Support) RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 (XMP Profile to 3200MHz) Motherboard: MSI MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON (MS-7b17) <- It's the model without WLAN/Bluetooth Graphic Card: Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ Bluetooth & WLAN: Broadcom Card in PCI Adapter What is working: Almost everything! All USB Ports, Intel Power Management, Bluetooth, WLAN, LAN, Intel Graphics HEVC, Boot/Reboot, Sleep What is not working: Facetime & iMessage (Don't need it but I will come back to this) Steps: 1. Create Mojave 10.14.5 USB Drive | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CZDXxKfodE&t=95s | Us this tutorial or search the forum 2. Load my EFI Folder: https://workupload.com/file/zkJ4zdQk 3. Go into your bios and use my settings in the Screenshot I attached 4. Boot from USB Stick | Install Mojave | Boot into Mojave (Check other Tutorials if you don't know how) 5. Generate Serials with Clover Configurator 6. Happy Hackintosh Life! Kext I use: AppleALC.kext | Needed for Sound BrcmFirmwareData.kext | Needed for my WLAN/Bluetooth Card BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext | Needed for my WLAN/Bluetooth Card BrcmPatchRAM2.kext | Needed for my WLAN/Bluetooth Card CodecCommander.kext | Fix Problems after Sleep CPUFriend.kext | Perfect Power Management for my CPU CPUFriendDataProvider.kext | Perfect Power Management for my CPU FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext | Needed for my WLAN/Bluetooth Card FakePCIID.kext | Needed for my WLAN/Bluetooth Card FakeSMC.kext | Standard IntelMausiEthernet.kext | Ethernet Lilu.kext | Standard USBInjectAll.kext | To fix all USB Ports WhateverGreen.kext | Needed for graphics If you have success with my little tutorial and EFI Build let me know! Hope you reach the desktop and will be happy! 1 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339112-guide-10145-mojave-i7-9700k-msi-mpg-z390-gaming-pro-carbon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeLP Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Thanks. Going to use MSI mpg z390m gaming edge ac. Thinking it should be the same except WiFi/Bluetooth (I will disable it).

MikOnMac Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hi, someone have successfully installed a Thunderbolt card in this mobo or in the MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC ? It happens that when a Thunderbolt card (GC-Titan Ridge) is installed and enabled Mojave does not boot, the error is "Error allocating 0x#### pages at 0x####alloc type ...". In Windows 10 no issues and Thunderbolt works!!! Tried AptioMemoryFix-64.efi, OcQuirks.efi + FwRuntimeServices.efi and OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi. Any ideas ?
