I used a hackintosh running Sonoma till last month when I got an 8GB ram 2013 MBP for portability that smoothly runs Sonoma with opencore legacy patcher
Thank you so much for this - it just worked after wasting weeks trying to follow the opencore guides and no one explaining anything properly. Super happy!! Thanks again!
did you manage to get a hackintosh?? did you watch the 2023 indian dude top result video? ... im a bit scared from all the steps,, was it pretty simple for you to get it?
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 :)
Thanks for the video and for supporting Hackintosh community. I am a Hackintosh user for the past 3 years and i have a 8700k asus 370 32gb 1tb machine that spits fire, recently updated to Ventura macos
can you guide me how i can make my hp envy i5 11gen laptop to the one how this video creator makes like i didnt get which file to download hackintosh mac os or genuine apple mac os? and other thing how to make bootable usb drive of mac os from my windows laptop do i really need macbook for creating the bootable disk?
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 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.
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… .

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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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.
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
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 a lot for this video sir.. I have made the same computer as you suggested in this video... It would be great if you could also tell me that for wifi and Bluetooth which card should I use that can be fit on M.2 slot for the same motherboard! Kindly reply sir... Regards and best wishes.
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)
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.
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?
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.
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 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!
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.
Hi! Thanks for the nice and Clean Hackintosh guide and installation system. But I have a Question. What to do when I add a Graphics Card. Do I need to change the kexts or Plist? Please make a video on that
Hi. Thanks for the great, and very informative video! I have one question, can you please tell me, can you use programs made for M1computers with this Hackintosh PC? Dose new aplications all works on both processors? Intel and M1 silicon chips? I have never used mac Os before, even I use PC computers for more than 25 years. I am in search for new PC and for the first time I considered mayby get Mac Mini M2 pro, but but now after watching your great video, I will be definitely interested in some Hackintosh build. One more question? What keyboard is that ? Sorry on my bad English.
Hi, Mac applications are distributed as universal binaries, so they run on both Intel and ARM. Intel machines still count for more than half of the Macs in daily use so it's unlikely that a company would release programs that only run on ARM for at least a few more years. The keyboard is a Redragon K617-RGB - you can find it on Amazon.
Great guide! Worked flawlessly with my hardware. I'm looking to install an RX 5500 XT into my build. How do I go about changing the boot argument to get the card to work? Also is hardware acceleration enabled by default? Thanks in advance.
You need to open your config.plist in OpenCore Auxiliary Tools or Opencore Configurator, then go to the NVRAM section (as shown at 8:40 in the video). Select the third hexadecimal number down on the left, and in the boot args section add agdpmod=pikera next to boot-args. Then save and you should be good to go. You'll have hardware acceleration straight away using the native drivers in macOS.
Great video, thanks for putting it together, unfortunately the processor and motherboard are no longer available on amazon. I don't want to get something that is incompatible, so now I'm stuck.
What do you think about the Mac Pro (2013) as a alternative? It’s getting cheaper (like $275 on USA marketplace) and it’s upgradable parts like ram and SSD. Unfortunately not gpu upgradeable… but I guess building a hackintosh has it benefits like upgradeable gpu and ddr4 ram slots!
I loved the design of the 2013 Mac Pro, but the problem is that to run Ventura you have to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher, and even then, there's no CPU power management and no DRM support. When you add in the need for ECC RAM, the Apple-specific SSD interface, and the inability to use standard graphics cards, I think for the money a hackintosh is a better choice.
HI, I followed your amazing guide and made a really stable hackintosh in a simple way. I want to ask you another thing.. in your opinion is it possible to use an Intel G6405 processor with Intel® UHD Graphics 610 graphics chipset? Thanks and sorry for the newbie question.
That is actually a really good keyboard! I however found I couldn't quite hit super glides on Apex Legends with it though, so I ended up repairing my old Logitech G Pro. :P
I have a budget of around £800 I think I’ll go with the same motherboard but I’ll definitely put a better cpu in, I don’t think I need a better power supply. for the gpu would a Radeon vii work or would a Radeon rx580 be better or a different gpu? For cooling is it possible to add water cooling? Thank you so much for the high detailed very well explained tutorial
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
If they ever manage to do that, then some other solution will be found. In the meantime, plenty of people will avoid being ripped off by apple’s insanely overpriced hardware.
@@rc-yApple isn’t the only manufacturer using arm chips. As intel’s are being used today, so will some arm flavour be used for the new generation hackintosh.
I don’t expect you or Apple to believe me, but the ability to dabble with their OS actually makes me a MORE devoted Apple user. There’s already an abundance of their devices in our house…
Hey buddy , excellent video , would love to get more hackintosh , could you do everyone a huge favor and image the whole thing just to download it and copy it to a disc and start deploying, also do you think deployment for 13th Gen intel can work?
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 ?
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!
You have to log into iCloud for iMessage and Facetime to work. It appears in your Apple account as a Mac (model depends on the SMBIOS definition you chose), along with your other Apple devices.
Awesome vid. Which version of core i7 would work with this guide without changing a thing? Is it worth it getting an i7 over an i5, or is it just waste of extra cash? Thanks.
i7-10700 or i7-10700K will work without changes. It scores 1656 single-core and 8032 multi-core in Geekbench 6. The i5 -10600K gets 1662 single-core and 7140 multi-core, so the i7 is about 15% faster.
Great tutorial. I have a question, I really want to try and make my pc a hacking tosh, but I would like to do a triple boot since i also use Linux, would the process still be the same?
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.
excellemt video, everything was well explained and you showed us step by step without cutting in any sort for us to figure it out by our selves, i have a question i have an i7-3770 and an rx 570 4gb and 16 ram what version of macos should i install cause i fear that ventura would be to power hungry for my i7-3770 / and same i have an old i3-2350m with its internal gpu and 8 gb of ram laptop laying around what version of macos should i install ? thanks great video again 😇
Thanks. When choosing an SMBIOS I would go with iMac13,1, since that iMac also used the 3rd Gen Intel CPUs. In theory you could install macOS up to Monterey on your i7 3770, but not Ventura, as Ventura dropped support for Ivy Bridge. However I would stick to Catalina, since that was the last version that officially supported the Ivy Bridge iMac. Your RX 570 should work fine, you just need Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts. For your i3-2350m I would stick to Mojave.
Thanks for the video. Can I use a serial number that I have with Catalina (Hackintosh) and use it in OpenCore Configurator or I need definitely generate a new one?
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 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 ?
This is better than any screen flickering mac mini for home using and tracking some stuff in Logic Pro)))
This is very good tutorial, Obligardo!
It was a powerful tutorial, thanks for the imformation.
Very nice, super neat and dual drives!
this is the best way to get into hackintosh on a budget
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
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..... ;)
DAMN, you hacintoshers did it again! A+!
Thanks a lot for this video sir.. I have made the same computer as you suggested in this video... It would be great if you could also tell me that for wifi and Bluetooth which card should I use that can be fit on M.2 slot for the same motherboard!
Kindly reply sir...
Regards and best wishes.
Such a clean video demonstrating a clean build, ❤. Wish Ryzen 3200G was this easy to setup xD
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)
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
Can't believe you actually dictated the terminal commmand. Never seen this before
Give this man a medal!
Awesome build. performace per dollar.
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?
Thanks. Upgrading the CPU or RAM wouldn’t require anything else to be done.
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.
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!
So it is similar to 2018 MacMini? How much a 2nd hand macmini form that time costs theses days?
Dope build. Thanks for the step by step guide...
Hi. Thank you for the guide. Could you recomend nearest replacement for H410, bacouse of it is out of stock?
Hi, extremely helpful guide - thank you! And I love you keyboard - could you tell what is it exactly?
It's a Redragon K617 60% mechanical keyboard.
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!
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.
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.
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!
Hi! Thanks for the nice and Clean Hackintosh guide and installation system. But I have a Question. What to do when I add a Graphics Card. Do I need to change the kexts or Plist? Please make a video on that
There's no need to change anything. So long as you're using a supported GPU, it should just work. WhateverGreen kext will handle configuration.
Hi. Thanks for the great, and very informative video! I have one question, can you please tell me, can you use programs made for M1computers with this Hackintosh PC? Dose new aplications all works on both processors? Intel and M1 silicon chips?
I have never used mac Os before, even I use PC computers for more than 25 years. I am in search for new PC and for the first time I considered mayby get Mac Mini M2 pro, but but now after watching your great video, I will be definitely interested in some Hackintosh build.
One more question? What keyboard is that ?
Sorry on my bad English.
Hi, Mac applications are distributed as universal binaries, so they run on both Intel and ARM. Intel machines still count for more than half of the Macs in daily use so it's unlikely that a company would release programs that only run on ARM for at least a few more years.
The keyboard is a Redragon K617-RGB - you can find it on Amazon.
Great guide! Worked flawlessly with my hardware.
I'm looking to install an RX 5500 XT into my build. How do I go about changing the boot argument to get the card to work?
Also is hardware acceleration enabled by default?
Thanks in advance.
You need to open your config.plist in OpenCore Auxiliary Tools or Opencore Configurator, then go to the NVRAM section (as shown at 8:40 in the video). Select the third hexadecimal number down on the left, and in the boot args section add agdpmod=pikera next to boot-args. Then save and you should be good to go. You'll have hardware acceleration straight away using the native drivers in macOS.
@@BartechTV Thank you so much for the detailed explanation!
Hi ,please tell me how you fix uhd 630 to have more then 7mb memory ? Thx soo much😂
Hello ! Nice work ! (Bom trabalho). Can you add how to make a dual boot machine with it please. Thanks.
So how does it perform compared to a windows machine with the exact same specs? Especially video editing? Is it faster?
Great video, thanks for putting it together, unfortunately the processor and motherboard are no longer available on amazon. I don't want to get something that is incompatible, so now I'm stuck.
Excellent build, I love these kinds of videos. What monitor is that?
The monitor is LG 29UM59-P
What do you think about the Mac Pro (2013) as a alternative? It’s getting cheaper (like $275 on USA marketplace) and it’s upgradable parts like ram and SSD. Unfortunately not gpu upgradeable… but I guess building a hackintosh has it benefits like upgradeable gpu and ddr4 ram slots!
I loved the design of the 2013 Mac Pro, but the problem is that to run Ventura you have to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher, and even then, there's no CPU power management and no DRM support. When you add in the need for ECC RAM, the Apple-specific SSD interface, and the inability to use standard graphics cards, I think for the money a hackintosh is a better choice.
Not worth it. Those cases are anti consumer. Just put Linux or Unix. Buy a macbook..
Just perfect like that!
NIce One however you need a Mac to start the process right ?
really cool step by step guide ! Do you know if we can log into apple account or icloud with a hackintosh ?
Yes, you can. It works just like a real Mac.
HI, I followed your amazing guide and made a really stable hackintosh in a simple way. I want to ask you another thing.. in your opinion is it possible to use an Intel G6405 processor with Intel® UHD Graphics 610 graphics chipset? Thanks and sorry for the newbie question.
No, only Intel Core and Xeon processors. Pentium and Celeron CPU's won't work.
That is actually a really good keyboard! I however found I couldn't quite hit super glides on Apex Legends with it though, so I ended up repairing my old Logitech G Pro. :P
what is the keyboard?
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.
I have a budget of around £800 I think I’ll go with the same motherboard but I’ll definitely put a better cpu in, I don’t think I need a better power supply. for the gpu would a Radeon vii work or would a Radeon rx580 be better or a different gpu?
For cooling is it possible to add water cooling?
Thank you so much for the high detailed very well explained tutorial
How is the performance compared to Mac mini m1/m2 base model
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
Thanks for video! Can we also do same thing on Laptop?
Yes the process is mostly the same. A few differences, for battery, keyboard backlight, trackpad, that sort of thing.
Great video, maybe do you have another MB option with wifi? thanks in advance
Amazing video Thank you
Countdown until Apple stops allowing people to download their OS.
it looks like it's impossible
Well since Apple moved to ARM silicon chips eventually they would stop supporting these legacy Operating Systems
If they ever manage to do that, then some other solution will be found. In the meantime, plenty of people will avoid being ripped off by apple’s insanely overpriced hardware.
@@rc-yApple isn’t the only manufacturer using arm chips. As intel’s are being used today, so will some arm flavour be used for the new generation hackintosh.
I don’t expect you or Apple to believe me, but the ability to dabble with their OS actually makes me a MORE devoted Apple user. There’s already an abundance of their devices in our house…
Hey buddy , excellent video , would love to get more hackintosh , could you do everyone a huge favor and image the whole thing just to download it and copy it to a disc and start deploying, also do you think deployment for 13th Gen intel can work?
Hi
I wish to upgrade my Hackintosh from a Gigabyte H410M motherboard to a Z490 motherboard. Which Z490 boards would you recommend? Thanks
Please do every operation to install the mac os, to the downloading in a window machine.
I have built several hackintosh.the current one is a 2130 h61 asus mobo and a gtc680 with catalina . I have a mac pro
Please let me know where did you create the EFI FOLDER in Mac's storage?
He made EFI partion google it how
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
do things like Airdrop, sidecar etc, work out of the box?
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
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!
Nice build
This is amazing. What happens if you login with your icloud on one of these?
You have to log into iCloud for iMessage and Facetime to work. It appears in your Apple account as a Mac (model depends on the SMBIOS definition you chose), along with your other Apple devices.
Awesome vid. Which version of core i7 would work with this guide without changing a thing? Is it worth it getting an i7 over an i5, or is it just waste of extra cash?
Thanks.
i7-10700 or i7-10700K will work without changes. It scores 1656 single-core and 8032 multi-core in Geekbench 6.
The i5 -10600K gets 1662 single-core and 7140 multi-core, so the i7 is about 15% faster.
Great tutorial. I have a question, I really want to try and make my pc a hacking tosh, but I would like to do a triple boot since i also use Linux, would the process still be the same?
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 👍🏻👍🏻
amazing braaaavooooo
excellemt video, everything was well explained and you showed us step by step without cutting in any sort for us to figure it out by our selves, i have a question i have an i7-3770 and an rx 570 4gb and 16 ram what version of macos should i install cause i fear that ventura would be to power hungry for my i7-3770 / and same i have an old i3-2350m with its internal gpu and 8 gb of ram laptop laying around what version of macos should i install ? thanks great video again 😇
Thanks. When choosing an SMBIOS I would go with iMac13,1, since that iMac also used the 3rd Gen Intel CPUs. In theory you could install macOS up to Monterey on your i7 3770, but not Ventura, as Ventura dropped support for Ivy Bridge. However I would stick to Catalina, since that was the last version that officially supported the Ivy Bridge iMac. Your RX 570 should work fine, you just need Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts. For your i3-2350m I would stick to Mojave.
@@BartechTV ok thanks again +1 suscriber
Thanks for the video. Can I use a serial number that I have with Catalina (Hackintosh) and use it in OpenCore Configurator or I need definitely generate a new one?
Thanks for the review, will also build hackintosh soon 😊
¡Gracias!, tutorial válido para Sonoma 14.5 , la misma placa base y un i5 10400
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?
