Hello, I am still using the USB in order to run Ventura. I tried to find the EFI folder in the USB, but the only thing I found is the Ventura Installer. Can you help me? Thanks :)

Fantastic guide! My daily driver laptop is an old Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 2 that I made into a hackintosh running 10.15.7. It's been running solid as a hackintosh for over two years now. I really do love MacOS and the Apple ecosystem. My laptop is starting to show its age so I have been considering building an affordable desktop hackintosh. I think I just found my guide! Fantastic job! 😁
@Cristian Barcaru Because newer models using Apple Silicon and with Apple Silicon (without Parallels etc) some tasks (especially gaming) aren't that great for price/performance expect.
I've had the same hackintosh I built 10 years ago and I can't take it any further than Mojave, so it's time I got my OS situation updated. I subscribe to Adobe for Photoshop and Lightroom and right now, I'm stuck with paying for a subscription that I can't upgrade anymore. This sounds like a perfect build and I've ordered parts today. The only difference I've made is 32GB's of RAM and the SSD is 512 GB's. Looking forward to an easy build and thank you very much for sharing this with us. All the details needed appear to be there.
That’s a super awesome video, thank you for making it. The only thing I’d say is that I’d really like to see a bit more info on how to modify versions settings for those of us with different CPU’s and graphics cards… . And if you could eventually, I’d also really love to see an amd processor build hackintosh, given the price to performance ratio of those CPU’s these days.
I bought almost the same components you use here and got it up and running yesterday. I'm a photographer and I play guitar a lot. For both of those activities I demand a bit from my computers and so far it seems this one is hitting the mark for me. I was concerned about underbuilding, but those concerns are dissipating. My old hackintosh had a 3rd gen i7 and here I'm at a 10th gen i3. For guitar, playing live into recording software, latency is always an issue, but so far my buffer size is surprisingly low. The one thing I missed in this build is bluetooth. I got the FenviT919, which set up wifi easily, bluetooth requires a connection to a USB 9 pin port on the board, but it's already in use( there's only one). I think my solution is going to be a dongle. I just want it so I can use my keyboard without hooking it up to USB. Thanks for the great video. On another note, my editor for my photography lives in Lisbon. I believe you're in Portugal, yes?
I'm glad you found the video useful. macOS runs remarkably well even on lower end hardware like a Core i3. I also missed not having bluetooth, in a previous build I was using an Asus Bluetooth dongle which allowed me to connect an Apple magic keyboard and magic mouse. It's possible to get an internal USB hub, which plugs into the motherboard 9-pin USB header and gives you multiple 9-pin headers. For example the AC-IUSBH-M3 from NZXT or the CC-9310002-WW from Corsair. Yes, I moved to Portugal several years ago, I live in the north near Porto. It's a beautiful country.
Thank you. It would be great if it could. Unfortunately, the first Framework notebooks were released with an 11th gen CPU, and macOS only supports iGPU's on processors up to 10th gen. So, although there's no reason macOS couldn't be installed and boot, it would only run in VESA mode with limited VRAM and without any graphics acceleration at all.
All item listed now on my cart and i have ordered the first three items at the top. Will notify you bro once i start to assemble and install the macos.
holy crap, this is incredible. I had no idea this was even a thing. Who would've thought that Apple is selling overpriced hardware!? No but seriously, I'm going to be doing this build. My 2020 MBP which costed like 1600 euros has only 8 gb of ram and it thoroughly pisses me off every day. Since I love mac OS though, I was about to buy a new machine for close to 3K euros. The thing is I also really like Windows and Linux. Being able to tri book MacOs, Windows and Arch would be a dream come true. Why hasn't I heard about this before. On top of that, I can save my MBP for when I actually need it.. traveling and whatnot. Thanks! I'll let you know how I get on.
Over priced? You can buy a M2 Mac Mini for $599 USD. There’s not many PC’s that can even touch that performance for less than a couple grand. MacBook Air M1 is $999 and M2 $1199. Apple is a bargain in some areas. And M2 can edit 4k videos flawlessly. Much better than this $300 Hakintosh.
Hi, again. I just made a identical configuration just like you did. Please , can you upload your usb image with all instalation because i only have a windows .Thxxxxxxxy
Hi, I was just wondering if you could give me a bit of guidance. I wasn't able to get the exact parts that you listed but I think I got the closest available equalivents: I was just curious if you see anything wrong with this list, for building the hackintosh with Ventura as you've so outlined in this video: MSI B450M-A PRO MAX (MAJ Ryzen 3XXX) 1 69€99 Intel Core i3-10105 (3.7 GHz) 1 124€99 DDR4 Kingston Fury Beast - 32 Go (2 x 16 Go) 3200 MHz - CAS 16 1 94€99 Crucial P3 500 Go 2 (i want to dual boot windows and mac) 75€98 Cooler Master MasterBox MB520 TG ARGB - Blanc 1 124€99 FSP Hydro M PRO 600W 1 79€99 I understand if it's too much work to verify. Either way I wanted to thank you, so thanks!
And sorry but I was wondering as well, would the two 500gb ssd's be sufficient to dual boot windows and mac? And is it okay to have 32 Go of Ram instead of 16? You mentioned a 64gb max, but I wanted to be sure. I promise, that's all my questions, thanks again!
@@avi7278 hi. Your motherboard is for AMD (Ryzen) CPU. if you want to use Intel CPU you need a motherboard that's supports this particular generation of CPUs. Just Google "motherboard for Intel i3 10105" (you need motherboard that's supports LGA1200) Other parts looks good to go. I would suggest to get more storage, maybe another 250g ssd, or single 1tb ssd.
Hi Avi, The B450M motherboard you listed is only suitable for Ryzen CPU's, so it won't work with your Intel Core i3. For Intel 10th Gen you need a motherboard based on Intel H410, H470, or Z490 chipsets. The Intel equivalent of the motherboard you listed is the MSI Z490-A PRO. This board costs around €120 to €130 new here in Europe and would work perfectly. The i3-10105 CPU is fine - it's the same one I used. For around €30 more you could step up to an i5-10400 which would give you an extra 2 cores and about 30% faster multicore performance. Just be sure to avoid CPU's ending in "F" as they have no integrated graphics. The Kingston Fury Beast RAM will work fine. The performance difference between 16GB and 32GB is quite small, though, so personally I would go with 2 x 8GB modules for 16GB total. The MSI Z490-A PRO has 4 memory slots so you can add another 2 x 8GB modules later for 32GB total if you find yourself needing more. The 2 Crucial NVMe drives should work well, an alternative would be the Western Digital SN750. The SN750 is around the same price, perhaps a little more, but has better write performance and higher endurance. The PSU is fine too. So, here's my list of what I would choose - Motherboard: MSI Z490-A PRO CPU: Intel Core i3-10105 or Intel Core i5-10400 RAM: 2 x 8GB DDR4 Kingston Fury Beast (16GB total) SSD: 2 x WD SN750 500Gb (one for Windows and one for macOS) If you have any more questions let me know.
Yes, two 500GB drives would be more than sufficient to boot Windows and macOS - even current entry-level M2 Macs only ship with 256GB drives. 32GB of RAM is fine but as I mentioned in the other comment, the actual performance difference between 16GB and 32GB is very small in practice. You probably would even notice any improvement in most tasks. I would just get 16GB to begin with and then you can add another two modules at a later date if you find yourself running out of RAM.
Just wanted to add to this, I followed the updated advice for components above and went for the msi z490 motherboard but I didn’t notice that it’s a larger form factor, standard atx, so it doesn’t fit in the mini atx case from the original build in the video. May be obvious to some but just thought I’d mention. Need to find a bigger case now!
I started with 2 hackintosh and now I own a Mac mini, iPad and iPhone. It certainly was the cheapest way running macOS, because both pcs came right from the trash. The first one was thrown out by a company I had business with, they told me to just take it and the other one was laying in a trash bin. The first one was a bit involved, because the cpu and integrated gpu wasn’t supported and I had to get a dedicated gpu and a separate pcie usb3 card to get useful performance and io. The other one had a slightly newer cpu and worked out of the box with no configuration at all, even usb 3. As I didn’t have a Mac, I had to create my boot usb from windows. There is a script (gibmacos or something), but it forced me to use clover as the open core option was broken.
I've already upgraded from Ventura 13 to 13.1. I updated OpenCore, and updated the kexts to the latest versions. Then downloaded the update from the app store and did the update like a real Mac.
Thanks for all your help. I was successfully able to run Ventura with i5-13600KF/B660M/RX 5700. The last thing I would like to do is transition from the USB and boot from the internal SDD. It seems possible according to sources out there, but I was curious to know how you approached it/ would approach it.
You just need to copy the contents of the EFI partition from the USB to the EFI partition on your SSD, as shown at 11:12 in the video. Then you can remove the USB and boot straight from your SSD.
Don’t worry, there are guides for everything and you don’t need a real Mac or hackintosh. You can setup a Virtual Machine and use that to build your boot stick
You should also be able to go itx for a little more on the mobo, and slip the whole thing inside an inwin b1 mesh, or a gamemax violin. They come with a psu and are the same price as your case and psu, but small enough to put in a lunchbox.
I have two questions. 1. What if I can't arrange an existing mac to create bootable mac drive and running commands? 2. If I get the latest generation chipset, ram, and an external GPU, will the steps be the accurate same? Or some changes in process.
1. You can just use a PC. Download the MacOS install disk image from Apple and write it to your USB drive using Balena Etcher (www.balena.io/etcher) Mount the EFI partition using command line, by doing the following... - Open command prompt - type "diskpart" - type "list disk" and look for your USB drive - type "select disk x" (where x=your USB drive] - type "list partition" and look for your EFI partition - type "select partition x" (where x=your EFI partition) - type "assign letter = E:" - mounts the EFI partition on your PC and assigns it the drive letter E, so you can open it, and copy your EFI folder / edit the plist etc. The config.plist is just a text file, so you can edit it using any plist editor for Windows or in notepad. 2. On the Olarila site, download the right EFI for the CPU architecture you're using - ie. Comet Lake for 10th gen, Rocket Lake for 11th gen, Alder Lake for 12th or 13th gen. If your CPU is 11th, 12th or 13th gen then you need to use a fake CPU id, which the Olarila EFI will take care of. You'll still have to ascertain what audio chipset you have and use the right audio layout. You can see a list of supported codecs and the layout id to use at github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs. Determine which Ethernet controller your motherboard has and delete whatever kexts you don't need from the kexts folder and from the config.plist. Don't get an eGPU if you're making a hackintosh. Just plug the GPU directly into a PCIe X16 slot on the motherboard. MacOS Ventura has drivers for RX 560, RX 570, RX 5700 XT, RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, RX 6800 XT, RX 6900 XT so they'll work out of the box. Just make sure you have Lilu and Whatevergreen kexts up to date.
@@BartechTV Hey dude, just wanted to say that I really appreciate you helping everyone out in the comments with extra info to make things work for them. It's a rare thing to see nowadays!
Glad that someone did an entry-level, economical Hackintosh build. I think this baremetal is better than any of the ProxmoxVE based builds. Does this setup have audio fully working i.e. for both audio-input and audio-output ? I wanted a Hackintosh only for Garageband, and the past experience with virtualized Hackintosh didn't permit that. Oh and one more question, do you think that this method might work with a slightly older i5-8400 (which has only 6 cores and 6 threads), which has the same IGP (UDH630) ? I have it on a MSI H310M PRO-VDH motherboard with 16GB 2400MHz RAM, and a SATA SSD of 240GB. Would this require some changes in the OpenCore Configurator stage ?
VirtualSMC.kext - required for the hackintosh to boot. AppleALC.kext - required for audio. WhateverGreen.kext - required for graphics. Lilu.kext - required for the above kexts to work since they're Lilu plugins. As for the rest, you need to look at what hardware is on your motherboard to decide which kexts you need and which you don't. For example, my motherboard has Intel ethernet, so I don't need the two Realtek ethernet kexts nor the Atheros ethernet kexts, so I delete them. I have no WiFi or Bluetooth, so I delete AirportBrxmFixup. I leave IntelMausi.kext since I have Intel ethernet.
@@BartechTV thanks! that makes sense. i've been googling around and every article i found, just says google more. 🙄 is there some consolidated list of kexts that explain what names go with what hardware?
hello and thanks for the great video. I want to make a hackintosh now and I realized that the motherboard is no longer available. In your opinion, an MSI could always be fine but with the H610 chipset .. such as the H610M-E for example. I await your news, thanks again.
Hi Marco, If you're using an H610 chipset motherboard, then you'll have a 12th or 13th gen CPU. The integrated UHD 7x0 graphics on 12th and 13th gen Intel CPU's aren't supported in macOS, so you need a dedicated graphics card. macOS Ventura and Sonoma support Polaris cards like the RX 560 / 570 / 580, Navi 5000 and 6000 cards like the RX 5600 XT, 5700 XT, 6600 XT, 6800 XT and 6900 XT. The cheapest GPU natively supported by Sonoma is the RX 460, which you can buy for 30 - 40 Euros used.
@@BartechTV thank you for your answer, you have been very clear. I was able to create a hackintosh like yours because luckily I had an ASUS motherboard with the 410 chipset. At this point, if I want to make others, I'd better look for motherboards with that chipset because it's much cheaper than implementing a video card. Thanks again.
Apple have by far the biggest profit margins in the industry. The average profit margin on a Windows PC is about 2.5%. Apple’s profit margin is about 43% - 17 times higher. If Apple were to sell their computers at the same profit margin as other computer manufacturers, an M2 Mac Mini would cost $349 instead of $599.
Few days ago I buy Patriot P210 256gb and he had Yeestrore controller and Micron 64 layer QLC memory chip. Year ago this SSD have SMI chip and TLC memory. And fan on back side blow inside case? Maybe better blow outside case?
Hi, I have just built a system and followed your instructions to build the flash boot drive. It starts to boot from the flash drive then goes through a whole lot of stuff for a few minutes then the screen goes blank and nothing more. I have double checked that igfxonln=1 ! Any ideas or help would be appreciated. My set up is I-5 10400 processor, Gigabyte H410M board, Patriot NVME M2 drive. Thanks
@@tanveerchoudhry613 Hi, I did the same, but after setup also it requires -igfxvesa to give screen, does not work with gpu acceleration, did it work for you
I already have a Mac mini and ordered a new gaming PC. I was looking for a way to get the Mac operating system on this new PC and switch back into windows for gaming. Will def use this!
Hey loved the build and detailed guide here planning for the similar build for a Hackintosh. Wanted to know if the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are working as well
This motherboard has no Bluetooth or WiFi, only Ethernet, which works. You can add a PCIe BT/WiFi board like the Fenvi T919 or a BCM94360CD from a real Mac with a PCIe adapter to get native WiFi and Bluetooth with full handoff / continuity support.
@@BartechTV I don't have the pc build but I followed all the steps and I was able to get the Hackintosh to work. However I don't have an option for wifi even though my laptop has a wireless wifi receiver. What should I do? I don't want to use ethernet. Thanks for the guide though, would not have been able to get Hackintosh without you. also im not sure if it makes any difference but when I was choosing the model of the Mac I noticed it said 3ghz cpu when my cpu is 1.6 ghz. not sure if that's a problem also my trackpad isn't working for some reason (they keyboard is)
3:25 Random 4k @ 469MB write and 57MB read? I don't know, something seems wrong with that test. My Sabrent Rocket Q (gen 3) can only do 154MB write. Outside of Intel Optane, I've never seen speeds that high.
True. Looking at the Amorphous DiskMark FAQ, it mentions that users may see inconsistent 4K random write speeds due to the 5 second time limit on that test. "The five-second measurement duration time limit was added to ADM2.5 in order to avoid the impractically lengthy 4K read/write measurement time (many minutes and hours) on inherently slow hard drives, to avoid unnecessary writes on SSDs, and to be consistent with CrystalDiskMark, you may get different or inconsistent random 4K write speed results. The random 4K write result could be faster, slower, or about the same with the five-second limit. I suspect that this is due to how the write cache on the SSD device itself behaves."
Right-click the partition icon and select "Get Info". In the window that opens, under "Sharing and Permissions", change privilege from "Read only" to "Read & Write".
Hi there, great video thank you! I have a question: can you use this method and do dual boot with Windows 11? I saw you turned secure boot off? Also how would you go about it?
I'm making a video showing the full steps, but the basic process is... 1. Install macOS as shown in this video. 2. Remove the macOS drive from the PC. 3. Boot from a Windows 11 installer USB and install Windows to a second drive. 4. Replace the macOS drive, and set it as the first boot device in BIOS. 5. Boot the computer. OpenCore will automatically find the Windows drive and allow you to select which drive you want to boot from so you can boot into macOS or Windows.
Yes, High Sierra using Nvidia's Web drivers. Apple hasn't made a Mac with Nvidia graphics for a decade. AMD Polaris / RX 5xxx / 6xxx / XT cards work out of the box.
2/20: I was able to finally write to this EFI folder, I use Clover to mount the drive and copy and paste the folder. Then, I use Open core to edit the config file and other options. Something is wrong with OpenCore nothing been able to mount but clover in conjunction with Open Core worked. Now, I get a stinky blinking cursor when booting to this flash drive. 2/19: EFI folder says read only permissions. Cant copy paste
No, macOS should only ever be downloaded from Apple. What's on my Ventura USB is identical to what you download from Apple anyway. Only the EFI partition changes, and there's a link to the EFI I used in the description.
Thank you for the video. 🙂 1. Can you use the DVI port from the MB to connect a second screen? 2. Is the playback in FCPX smooth + without sound delays etc.?
1. Yes. 2. Yes, as long as you don't go crazy with overlaying multiple layers and effects - it is only a UHD 630 iGPU, after all. If you get a dedicated GPU then it is obviously a lot more powerful.
Hello again, works like a charm but, what wifi and bluetooth card to use...I would preferably like a wifi/bluetooth PCIe card but haven't find anything good yet! Was using a little usb dongle on my Mojave build but does not work on Ventura!
what kind of that 2 ssd what you put inside the house?That over on this price yes?Anyway i try to find but here on Thailand these parts are higher price.
They are called SATA SSD. SATA is an older interface we used to use before NVMe was invented. They were not include din the cost, I just had them laying around.
The 10400f has no iGPU, so you'll need a graphics card. The 10400 will work just like the i3-10105 in this video, but about 15% faster multicore performance.
Hey, thanks for the video. Great stuff. I have a real Macbook Pro for DJ'ing, but I want to move producing from my Windows machine to a MacOS one. I have had several Hackintosh machines over the course of 20 years, but not at this time. My question is simple: I have a W11 custom built machine with one nVme on which I installed W11 Pro. It contains several SSD's and HDD's for gaming. If I add a new nVme to my machine, can I then easily install Hackintosh on that drive and get a dualboot screen when rebooting after installation ? I've always had dedicated Hackintosh machines and never installed Windows on those. But times are different and with a family to take care of, I have less space to store more PC's in the house. Hope to get a reply soon. Subbed. With regards.
Yes it's very easy to do. You'd just need to add a second SSD, install macOS and OpenCore on it, and set it as the first boot drive in your BIOS. Then, when you boot, OpenCore will detect your Windows installation and you'll see macOS and your Windows 11 drive in the OpenCore boot picker so you can choose between them.
@@kevinyoliveira68 Unfortunately Linux, despite me loving Linux, is NOT suitable for DJ'ing. Thus, since I both DJ and produce music, I am obligated to use a Mac. Although I do have a very wicked self built Windows machine that's more capable of producing. I sort of switch between the Win and Mac machines :)
Great video. This is great for someone with some parts lying around that want to get Mac experience cheap. Would upgrading to 32gb of RAM and or an i6 or i7 processor necessitate other steps?
a very well thought out build. No fancy high-end motherboards, you have included affordable yet powerful CPU and an all-round practical configuration.

My 2020 MBP which costed like 1600 euros has only 8 gb of ram and it thoroughly pisses me off every day. Since I love mac OS though, I was about to buy a new machine for close to 3K euros. The thing is I also really like Windows and Linux. Being able to tri book MacOs, Windows and Arch would be a dream come true. Why hasn't I heard about this before. On top of that, I can save my MBP for when I actually need it.. traveling and whatnot. Thanks! I'll let you know how I get on.
Over priced? You can buy a M2 Mac Mini for $599 USD. There’s not many PC’s that can even touch that performance for less than a couple grand. MacBook Air M1 is $999 and M2 $1199. Apple is a bargain in some areas. And M2 can edit 4k videos flawlessly. Much better than this $300 Hakintosh.

Ayee I had a feeling you were in Portugal from your previous videos. From a fellow Portuguese, I hope you enjoy it here.
Obrigado!
Hi, again. I just made a identical configuration just like you did. Please , can you upload your usb image with all instalation because i only have a windows .Thxxxxxxxy
It was a powerful tutorial, thanks for the imformation.
Hi, I was just wondering if you could give me a bit of guidance. I wasn't able to get the exact parts that you listed but I think I got the closest available equalivents:
I was just curious if you see anything wrong with this list, for building the hackintosh with Ventura as you've so outlined in this video:
MSI B450M-A PRO MAX (MAJ Ryzen 3XXX)
1
69€99
Intel Core i3-10105 (3.7 GHz)
1
124€99
DDR4 Kingston Fury Beast - 32 Go (2 x 16 Go) 3200 MHz - CAS 16
1
94€99
Crucial P3 500 Go
2 (i want to dual boot windows and mac)
75€98
Cooler Master MasterBox MB520 TG ARGB - Blanc
1
124€99
FSP Hydro M PRO 600W
1
79€99
I understand if it's too much work to verify. Either way I wanted to thank you, so thanks!
And sorry but I was wondering as well, would the two 500gb ssd's be sufficient to dual boot windows and mac? And is it okay to have 32 Go of Ram instead of 16? You mentioned a 64gb max, but I wanted to be sure. I promise, that's all my questions, thanks again!
@@avi7278 hi. Your motherboard is for AMD (Ryzen) CPU. if you want to use Intel CPU you need a motherboard that's supports this particular generation of CPUs. Just Google "motherboard for Intel i3 10105" (you need motherboard that's supports LGA1200)
Other parts looks good to go. I would suggest to get more storage, maybe another 250g ssd, or single 1tb ssd.
Hi Avi,
The B450M motherboard you listed is only suitable for Ryzen CPU's, so it won't work with your Intel Core i3. For Intel 10th Gen you need a motherboard based on Intel H410, H470, or Z490 chipsets.
The Intel equivalent of the motherboard you listed is the MSI Z490-A PRO. This board costs around €120 to €130 new here in Europe and would work perfectly.
The i3-10105 CPU is fine - it's the same one I used. For around €30 more you could step up to an i5-10400 which would give you an extra 2 cores and about 30% faster multicore performance. Just be sure to avoid CPU's ending in "F" as they have no integrated graphics.
The Kingston Fury Beast RAM will work fine. The performance difference between 16GB and 32GB is quite small, though, so personally I would go with 2 x 8GB modules for 16GB total. The MSI Z490-A PRO has 4 memory slots so you can add another 2 x 8GB modules later for 32GB total if you find yourself needing more.
The 2 Crucial NVMe drives should work well, an alternative would be the Western Digital SN750. The SN750 is around the same price, perhaps a little more, but has better write performance and higher endurance.
The PSU is fine too.
So, here's my list of what I would choose -
Motherboard: MSI Z490-A PRO
CPU: Intel Core i3-10105 or Intel Core i5-10400
RAM: 2 x 8GB DDR4 Kingston Fury Beast (16GB total)
SSD: 2 x WD SN750 500Gb (one for Windows and one for macOS)
If you have any more questions let me know.
Yes, two 500GB drives would be more than sufficient to boot Windows and macOS - even current entry-level M2 Macs only ship with 256GB drives.
32GB of RAM is fine but as I mentioned in the other comment, the actual performance difference between 16GB and 32GB is very small in practice. You probably would even notice any improvement in most tasks. I would just get 16GB to begin with and then you can add another two modules at a later date if you find yourself running out of RAM.
Just wanted to add to this, I followed the updated advice for components above and went for the msi z490 motherboard but I didn’t notice that it’s a larger form factor, standard atx, so it doesn’t fit in the mini atx case from the original build in the video. May be obvious to some but just thought I’d mention. Need to find a bigger case now!
I started with 2 hackintosh and now I own a Mac mini, iPad and iPhone. It certainly was the cheapest way running macOS, because both pcs came right from the trash. The first one was thrown out by a company I had business with, they told me to just take it and the other one was laying in a trash bin.
The first one was a bit involved, because the cpu and integrated gpu wasn’t supported and I had to get a dedicated gpu and a separate pcie usb3 card to get useful performance and io. The other one had a slightly newer cpu and worked out of the box with no configuration at all, even usb 3.
As I didn’t have a Mac, I had to create my boot usb from windows. There is a script (gibmacos or something), but it forced me to use clover as the open core option was broken.
This is very good tutorial, Obligardo!
Very nice, super neat and dual drives!
So it is similar to 2018 MacMini? How much a 2nd hand macmini form that time costs theses days?
Amazing work! Have you done any macOS updates since your build? How complicated is it to do basic updates?
I've already upgraded from Ventura 13 to 13.1.
I updated OpenCore, and updated the kexts to the latest versions.
Then downloaded the update from the app store and did the update like a real Mac.
@@BartechTV sounds good. Would be great to have follow up video showing how to do this. Thank you 🙏
@@asd382 I agree. As someone who purchases real Mac's, but would like to not have to..... ;)
Dope build. Thanks for the step by step guide...
Can't believe you actually dictated the terminal commmand. Never seen this before
this is the best way to get into hackintosh on a budget
Thanks for all your help. I was successfully able to run Ventura with i5-13600KF/B660M/RX 5700. The last thing I would like to do is transition from the USB and boot from the internal SDD. It seems possible according to sources out there, but I was curious to know how you approached it/ would approach it.
You just need to copy the contents of the EFI partition from the USB to the EFI partition on your SSD, as shown at 11:12 in the video. Then you can remove the USB and boot straight from your SSD.
@@BartechTV Oh man, I totally missed that...! Thank you, I'll give that a try.
Great video, unfortunately I don’t already own a Mac and the installation process of Ventura looks a bit difficult.
Don’t worry, there are guides for everything and you don’t need a real Mac or hackintosh. You can setup a Virtual Machine and use that to build your boot stick
Give this man a medal!
DAMN, you hacintoshers did it again! A+!
is it possible to make a multi user remote session at a time in hackintosh? if so please make a viedo.
Excellent build, I love these kinds of videos. What monitor is that?
The monitor is LG 29UM59-P
You should also be able to go itx for a little more on the mobo, and slip the whole thing inside an inwin b1 mesh, or a gamemax violin. They come with a psu and are the same price as your case and psu, but small enough to put in a lunchbox.
but then you wouldn't be able to add a GPU
Hi ,please tell me how you fix uhd 630 to have more then 7mb memory ? Thx soo much😂
Such a clean video demonstrating a clean build, ❤. Wish Ryzen 3200G was this easy to setup xD
Hi thank you for your great videos. please can you make also a tutorial for a dual boot hackintosh with Mac OS Sonoma and windows 11 ?
I have two questions.
1. What if I can't arrange an existing mac to create bootable mac drive and running commands?
2. If I get the latest generation chipset, ram, and an external GPU, will the steps be the accurate same? Or some changes in process.
1. You can just use a PC.
Download the MacOS install disk image from Apple and write it to your USB drive using Balena Etcher (www.balena.io/etcher)
Mount the EFI partition using command line, by doing the following...
- Open command prompt
- type "diskpart"
- type "list disk" and look for your USB drive
- type "select disk x" (where x=your USB drive]
- type "list partition" and look for your EFI partition
- type "select partition x" (where x=your EFI partition)
- type "assign letter = E:" - mounts the EFI partition on your PC and assigns it the drive letter E, so you can open it, and copy your EFI folder / edit the plist etc.
The config.plist is just a text file, so you can edit it using any plist editor for Windows or in notepad.
2. On the Olarila site, download the right EFI for the CPU architecture you're using - ie. Comet Lake for 10th gen, Rocket Lake for 11th gen, Alder Lake for 12th or 13th gen.
If your CPU is 11th, 12th or 13th gen then you need to use a fake CPU id, which the Olarila EFI will take care of. You'll still have to ascertain what audio chipset you have and use the right audio layout. You can see a list of supported codecs and the layout id to use at github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs.
Determine which Ethernet controller your motherboard has and delete whatever kexts you don't need from the kexts folder and from the config.plist.
Don't get an eGPU if you're making a hackintosh. Just plug the GPU directly into a PCIe X16 slot on the motherboard. MacOS Ventura has drivers for RX 560, RX 570, RX 5700 XT, RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, RX 6800 XT, RX 6900 XT so they'll work out of the box. Just make sure you have Lilu and Whatevergreen kexts up to date.
@@BartechTV Hey dude, just wanted to say that I really appreciate you helping everyone out in the comments with extra info to make things work for them. It's a rare thing to see nowadays!
Just perfect like that!
What is the case in the introduction? That looks super slick
I want to know too
Amazing video Thank you
Awesome build. performace per dollar.
Glad that someone did an entry-level, economical Hackintosh build. I think this baremetal is better than any of the ProxmoxVE based builds. Does this setup have audio fully working i.e. for both audio-input and audio-output ? I wanted a Hackintosh only for Garageband, and the past experience with virtualized Hackintosh didn't permit that.
Oh and one more question, do you think that this method might work with a slightly older i5-8400 (which has only 6 cores and 6 threads), which has the same IGP (UDH630) ? I have it on a MSI H310M PRO-VDH motherboard with 16GB 2400MHz RAM, and a SATA SSD of 240GB. Would this require some changes in the OpenCore Configurator stage ?
Couldn’t tell you how it would change the install process but those specs would work relatively the same
What about future updates of ventura? For how long is this going to be possible anyway?
Please do every operation to install the mac os, to the downloading in a window machine.
one thing I don't get is how one determines which kexts one will or won't need. please explain. thanks.
VirtualSMC.kext - required for the hackintosh to boot.
AppleALC.kext - required for audio.
WhateverGreen.kext - required for graphics.
Lilu.kext - required for the above kexts to work since they're Lilu plugins.
As for the rest, you need to look at what hardware is on your motherboard to decide which kexts you need and which you don't. For example, my motherboard has Intel ethernet, so I don't need the two Realtek ethernet kexts nor the Atheros ethernet kexts, so I delete them. I have no WiFi or Bluetooth, so I delete AirportBrxmFixup. I leave IntelMausi.kext since I have Intel ethernet.
@@BartechTV thanks! that makes sense. i've been googling around and every article i found, just says google more. 🙄 is there some consolidated list of kexts that explain what names go with what hardware?
If you have a read of dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ktext.html#kexts it does a decent job of explaining which kexts do what.
Hello. What is the keyboard's name on 0:06 second of the video?
This is better than any screen flickering mac mini for home using and tracking some stuff in Logic Pro)))
hello and thanks for the great video. I want to make a hackintosh now and I realized that the motherboard is no longer available. In your opinion, an MSI could always be fine but with the H610 chipset .. such as the H610M-E for example. I await your news, thanks again.
Does H610M-E work?
Hi Marco,
If you're using an H610 chipset motherboard, then you'll have a 12th or 13th gen CPU. The integrated UHD 7x0 graphics on 12th and 13th gen Intel CPU's aren't supported in macOS, so you need a dedicated graphics card. macOS Ventura and Sonoma support Polaris cards like the RX 560 / 570 / 580, Navi 5000 and 6000 cards like the RX 5600 XT, 5700 XT, 6600 XT, 6800 XT and 6900 XT.
The cheapest GPU natively supported by Sonoma is the RX 460, which you can buy for 30 - 40 Euros used.
@@BartechTV thank you for your answer, you have been very clear. I was able to create a hackintosh like yours because luckily I had an ASUS motherboard with the 410 chipset. At this point, if I want to make others, I'd better look for motherboards with that chipset because it's much cheaper than implementing a video card. Thanks again.
What this really points out is that Apple’s profit margins are exorbitant. Thanks for sharing your build.
Apple have by far the biggest profit margins in the industry. The average profit margin on a Windows PC is about 2.5%. Apple’s profit margin is about 43% - 17 times higher. If Apple were to sell their computers at the same profit margin as other computer manufacturers, an M2 Mac Mini would cost $349 instead of $599.
NIce One however you need a Mac to start the process right ?
Nice build, back fan is bad plugged, this one put air from the back to inside, i recommend you make the airflow from the front to the back!
How is the performance compared to Mac mini m1/m2 base model
do things like Airdrop, sidecar etc, work out of the box?
Few days ago I buy Patriot P210 256gb and he had Yeestrore controller and Micron 64 layer QLC memory chip. Year ago this SSD have SMI chip and TLC memory.
And fan on back side blow inside case? Maybe better blow outside case?

Hello ! Nice work ! (Bom trabalho). Can you add how to make a dual boot machine with it please. Thanks.
Is it possible to prepare partition and so on without Mac?
Nice video! But how about the audio and video output? Does audio output / input works fine? And are both the HDMI and VGA ports working? Thanx!
Yes, HDMI audio, front audio ports and rear audio ports all work.
I already have a Mac mini and ordered a new gaming PC. I was looking for a way to get the Mac operating system on this new PC and switch back into windows for gaming. Will def use this!
I want to do this build but if I have to constantly tinker just to get system updates I'm not sure how future proof it is? Thanks
Nice video. Can you make a video where you do the initial process in Windows and then dual boot it in a machine with windows? Thanks in advance
Hi. Thank you for the guide. Could you recomend nearest replacement for H410, bacouse of it is out of stock?
If you there is any updated version of the Mac. Will it be same procedure as this one?
Yes. The same.
Great video and keen to do this build but the specified motherboard is hard to get... is there a good alternative?
Yes the motherboard I used is discontinued now. Basically any H410 board will work fine.
Hey loved the build and detailed guide here planning for the similar build for a Hackintosh.
Wanted to know if the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are working as well
This motherboard has no Bluetooth or WiFi, only Ethernet, which works. You can add a PCIe BT/WiFi board like the Fenvi T919 or a BCM94360CD from a real Mac with a PCIe adapter to get native WiFi and Bluetooth with full handoff / continuity support.
@@BartechTV I don't have the pc build but I followed all the steps and I was able to get the Hackintosh to work. However I don't have an option for wifi even though my laptop has a wireless wifi receiver. What should I do? I don't want to use ethernet.
Thanks for the guide though, would not have been able to get Hackintosh without you.
also im not sure if it makes any difference but when I was choosing the model of the Mac I noticed it said 3ghz cpu when my cpu is 1.6 ghz. not sure if that's a problem
also my trackpad isn't working for some reason (they keyboard is)
Do you have a guide for the latest intel hakintosh you can build?
Yeah I should be posting it later tonight or maybe tomorrow depending on how fast I can finish the editing.
@@BartechTV ty, i want to build a hakintosh with the best performance you can get
So how does it perform compared to a windows machine with the exact same specs? Especially video editing? Is it faster?
can core i3 10th gen can proceed with this?
Yes, for sure. Works great.
3:25 Random 4k @ 469MB write and 57MB read? I don't know, something seems wrong with that test. My Sabrent Rocket Q (gen 3) can only do 154MB write. Outside of Intel Optane, I've never seen speeds that high.
True. Looking at the Amorphous DiskMark FAQ, it mentions that users may see inconsistent 4K random write speeds due to the 5 second time limit on that test.
"The five-second measurement duration time limit was added to ADM2.5 in order to avoid the impractically lengthy 4K read/write measurement time (many minutes and hours) on inherently slow hard drives, to avoid unnecessary writes on SSDs, and to be consistent with CrystalDiskMark, you may get different or inconsistent random 4K write speed results.
The random 4K write result could be faster, slower, or about the same with the five-second limit. I suspect that this is due to how the write cache on the SSD device itself behaves."
Please let me know where did you create the EFI FOLDER in Mac's storage?
He made EFI partion google it how
Great video. My EFI partition tells it is read only so I am not able to copy the EFI file. Any suggestion ?
Right-click the partition icon and select "Get Info". In the window that opens, under "Sharing and Permissions", change privilege from "Read only" to "Read & Write".
@@BartechTV there is only "read only"
Hi there, great video thank you! I have a question: can you use this method and do dual boot with Windows 11? I saw you turned secure boot off? Also how would you go about it?
I'm making a video showing the full steps, but the basic process is...
1. Install macOS as shown in this video.
2. Remove the macOS drive from the PC.
3. Boot from a Windows 11 installer USB and install Windows to a second drive.
4. Replace the macOS drive, and set it as the first boot device in BIOS.
5. Boot the computer. OpenCore will automatically find the Windows drive and allow you to select which drive you want to boot from so you can boot into macOS or Windows.
@@BartechTV thanks so much! Also I read that GPU support is a bit flaky, my gtx 1060 being supported by high Sierra only?
Yes, High Sierra using Nvidia's Web drivers. Apple hasn't made a Mac with Nvidia graphics for a decade. AMD Polaris / RX 5xxx / 6xxx / XT cards work out of the box.
@@BartechTV thanks for your replies. Again, awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻
2/20: I was able to finally write to this EFI folder, I use Clover to mount the drive and copy and paste the folder. Then, I use Open core to edit the config file and other options. Something is wrong with OpenCore nothing been able to mount but clover in conjunction with Open Core worked. Now, I get a stinky blinking cursor when booting to this flash drive. 2/19: EFI folder says read only permissions. Cant copy paste
Can you upload a exact copy of your MacOS Ventura USB? @BarTech TV
No, macOS should only ever be downloaded from Apple. What's on my Ventura USB is identical to what you download from Apple anyway. Only the EFI partition changes, and there's a link to the EFI I used in the description.
question what monitor is that?
Well iMessage and Handoff work?
iMessage works. Handoff will work if you get a Wifi/Bluetooth board. You can use one from a real Mac or buy the Fenvi PCIe card.
Thank you for the video. 🙂
1. Can you use the DVI port from the MB to connect a second screen?
2. Is the playback in FCPX smooth + without sound delays etc.?
1. Yes.
2. Yes, as long as you don't go crazy with overlaying multiple layers and effects - it is only a UHD 630 iGPU, after all. If you get a dedicated GPU then it is obviously a lot more powerful.
Many thanks. Works fine except that I am uncertain on where to mount the EFI file on the ssd???
Slept over it and figured out that I should use the opencoreconfigurator to mount it... Solved! 🙂. Many thanks!
amazing braaaavooooo
Nice build
Hello again, works like a charm but, what wifi and bluetooth card to use...I would preferably like a wifi/bluetooth PCIe card but haven't find anything good yet! Was using a little usb dongle on my Mojave build but does not work on Ventura!
what kind of that 2 ssd what you put inside the house?That over on this price yes?Anyway i try to find but here on Thailand these parts are higher price.
They are called SATA SSD. SATA is an older interface we used to use before NVMe was invented. They were not include din the cost, I just had them laying around.
Hey, great video! Would a Intel Core i5-10400F work? Is it better than the i5-10400?
The 10400f has no iGPU, so you'll need a graphics card. The 10400 will work just like the i3-10105 in this video, but about 15% faster multicore performance.

Hey, thanks for the video. Great stuff. I have a real Macbook Pro for DJ'ing, but I want to move producing from my Windows machine to a MacOS one. I have had several Hackintosh machines over the course of 20 years, but not at this time.
My question is simple:
I have a W11 custom built machine with one nVme on which I installed W11 Pro. It contains several SSD's and HDD's for gaming.
If I add a new nVme to my machine, can I then easily install Hackintosh on that drive and get a dualboot screen when rebooting after installation ? I've always had dedicated Hackintosh machines and never installed Windows on those. But times are different and with a family to take care of, I have less space to store more PC's in the house. Hope to get a reply soon. Subbed.
With regards.
Yes it's very easy to do.
You'd just need to add a second SSD, install macOS and OpenCore on it, and set it as the first boot drive in your BIOS. Then, when you boot, OpenCore will detect your Windows installation and you'll see macOS and your Windows 11 drive in the OpenCore boot picker so you can choose between them.
@@BartechTV Awesome. I'll try it next month :) Thanks
Mac and Linux are the best for work
@@kevinyoliveira68 Unfortunately Linux, despite me loving Linux, is NOT suitable for DJ'ing. Thus, since I both DJ and produce music, I am obligated to use a Mac.
Although I do have a very wicked self built Windows machine that's more capable of producing. I sort of switch between the Win and Mac machines :)
