Completely secondhand. Bought on AliExpress or Ukrainian OLX.ua
I decided to try myself in Hackintosh before the topic’s "sunset", any comments and improvements are welcome

 

Insane:

  • Too many cores - you should cut CPU to 16 in BIOS settings
  • For fixing lan adapter PCI’s name here I’ve used (see below)
     
Quote

FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext
FakePCIID.kext

  • Fix en0 lan adapter for Apple Services to work  
  • Fix NVMe SSD Controller with «built-in»=01000000 type=data property in DeviceProperties
  • Remove AppStore dirs (if it’s necessary)
sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist

Important: I pay your attention to onboard lan adapters renaming in the IOregistry.

If you do not do this, your system will randomly crush (for example, while any broadcast network message, etc.).

If something goes wrong, you can remove the cable from the adapter’s connector and try to install OSX offline.

If NOTHING works at all, and you want to be online, then use a compatible PCI or external USB adapters, for example, Belkin lan adapter.
I found this problem on Supermicro X10 and X11 boards, «evil’s tongues» say that X12 has the same issue.

My way is to download the two specified above kexts(FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext FakePCIID.kext).
In the file

/EFI/OC/Kexts/FakePCIID_Intel_GbX.kext/Contents/Info.plist

Change «Root/IOKitPersonalities/Intel GbX/IOPCIPrimaryMatch» property: add string «0x15338086» (model/vendor ID)1301372888_2021-12-0719_31_01.thumb.png.ed25af6d3c2f4ae91c66eb0e55505f40.png
After this fix, the built-in motherboard cards work perfectly on native OSX drivers.

If you find another way easier, let me know.

Still OK

config.plist 36.05 kB · 12 downloads

Hello
I'm try yo install Monterey with Opencore
My Mobo ( ASUS Z10PE D8 WS) has C612 Chipset with Two 8 cores Xeon E5 2620v4
I've also 2 identical GPU : Radeon VII

I've download Your EFI folder, but I need do make some adjustments.
I used CPUID for Broadwell-E
What Kernel patches do you recommend ?
What else should I take care ?
Thanks
FYI The Hackintosh is running well Mojave with Clover

You can also install Monterey and Ventura with recent Clover.

Hey gentlemen. Any success on the sleep??? Ventura here, oc 0.7->0.8, asus z10pa with dual 2560v4. 
can’t make it go asleep, keep hitting all the walls sequentially, no luck yet. 

The rest working solidly, from lan to even bt.
