I have been running a Hackintosh for about 12 years and am now ready to switch back to a real Mac, probably a Mac Studio. I need a hard drive enclosure for my mechanical hard drives that are currently inside my Hack. I'm looking at this: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MEQCTJB000/ When...

Definitely go the OpenCore route. Just realize that it's not going to be a "three clicks and you're done" type of experience. Block out some time when you can focus and read up on how to make this work--the Dortiana guide and relevant threads on this forum. What you are trying to do is not easy...

Can I spoof from Skylake to Kabylake while still running Monterey, then do the upgrade to Ventura? Or how does that part of the process work?

I was thinking that might be the case, which is why I asked. Thank you.

Thank you! Do I need to change serial number, UUID and MLB in order to be able to use iCloud, etc?

Is there a guide anywhere on how to change the smbios from iMac 17,1 to iMac Pro 1,1? I'm using opencore for my bootloader.

OK thank you very much. I will pursue these options and stay with my current build. :thumbup:

This thread suggests otherwise: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/z170x-ud5-th-i7-6700k-ventura-install-help.322458/

It's come to my attention that my build (Core i7 6700K - Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH - AMD RX 580) will not run Ventura. I realize that at some point I will need to switch to a real Mac (Studio or Mini probably), but for now I would like to explore the option of upgrading my CustoMac. Would it be...

I also find this pretty simple. Definitely not "complex." I will probably always go for the Pro model because of the faster processor and better camera.

Thanks!

Will this work with my build: Core i7 6700K - Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH - AMD RX 580 I currently have a Samsung 970 but it somehow causes ridiculously long boot times.

This looks like a good deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QV692XY/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 $104.99

So basically disable any kind of sleep using Terminal...and we're done?

Not so fast... Whenever the system sleeps, I can't get the monitor to wake up and end up having to reboot. Anyone know a fix for this?
