jlynde Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It has been several years since I built my last Hackintosh but I am using it to make this post. It is a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK motherboard with Intel Core i7 (Haswell). The last time I used TonyMac X86 [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], etc. and I got most everything to work and have used it for several years (just never applied any updates). I would like to give this another go but build a "Vanilla" one this time. I plan to follow the guide below. Is it a good one or can anyone suggest a better one? I plan to use a new SSD hard drive to install Catalina so I can preserve my existing High Sierra install in case it does not work out I can just put the old hard drive back in until I figure out the problem. Does anyone have a working vanilla setup like this and can you share any hints or tips that might save me some time? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALDY_MAN Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Im using a z97 motherboard. and ruining Catalina. with a 0zmosis bios. I'm sure you could use clover to get up and running with your motherboard. you will need a AMD gpu for Catalina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlynde Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I have a GeForce GT 740 which has a Kepler GPU so I should be good there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
