Yes it works for mojave. OSX is even easier to install now, a lot of tools available on this site such as hackingtool etc and newer versions of kexts (WhateverGreen, Lilu) simplify builds vastly. Gone are the days of shiki, intelgraphicsfixup and nvidiafixup kexts.

@vk2fro I am considering upgrading to Mojave, but the old saying "If it 'aint broke don't fix it " keeps coming up in my mind. Any advice or "look out for" comments my wise friend?

Your GTX 1060 is not supported in Mojave due to the lack of Nvidia web drivers.

Thanks BreBo! Perhaps I should just spend the money and buy a SAPPHIRE Radeon RX580 PULSE 8GB card and be done with the NVIDIA issues. I am running DaVinci Resolve which is graphic card heavy.

Hi @vk2fro thanks for your sharing, I have the same motherboard as you, however I encountered a little problems when using 10.15.1 "OsxAptioFixDrv: Error - requested memory exceeds our allocated relocation block", could you please take a look of my post and configs? Many Thanks!

Catalina built successfully but encountered OsxAptioFixDrv: Error after reboot

I’m using the exact same motherboard as you and I’m very new to building a hackintosh. I’m only able to get audio to come through over the Mini display port of my graphics card. I don’t see any RealTek audio. Any idea of how to fix that so I can use the line out?

Got AppleALC.kext in your E/C/K/O folder?

The zip is old. Its probably a good idea to grab the latest versions of the kexts from their relevant repo's on github.

Well, I have held off long enough and now can't take advantage of my DaVinci Resolve license with newer versions. Time to buy the Sapphire card. Just freaks me out because I have so many legacy production projects on the system and don't want to lose anything. Maybe I should just by a second M.2 drive and do a fresh install from scratch? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Stay safe all!
