[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

@jjsenecal :

As CaseySJ said: with an Hackintosh, nothing is lost if MacOS doesn’t work for you. You still have a good powerful PC. Hey, it’s a tool, nothing else ;)

**Soundblaster, old memories of an ISA AWE-64 (crap gaming high SN ratio card) and Live (crap gaming card high SN ratio and 48kHz but lot of fun in the old days...).

Next card was an Echo Mia, still have it in an old PC. Stellar improvement. I didn’t know that Creative was still active in the audio field.

Yeah, Creative actually still make some really good sounds cards with external interfaces. Most folks go with onboard audio because it's good enough and free, but a dedicated card is still the best way to eliminate electronic interference and noise when running good sound system/speakers. I always had a background hiss in my Bose setup with the onboard audio. Annoying as hell. :mad:
 
I looked at the link, the description about the led backlight, and I have an LCD display, can I make it display the temperature in macOS.

They came a long way from the Live 5.1, amazing!

I guess they have at least an ASIO driver with this thing?

That link is part of the solution. Simply follow that link to install (a) Homebrew and (b) liquidctl. Then configure the NZXT Z73 using these instructions:

 
I've tried to update my OC test SSD(worked, though somehow my sysdef/credentials are not the same according to Apple) to 0.6.8 using the provided EFI in this thread and, for the first time, a hackindrom generated config.plist with my Hack's credentials. Easy enough.
I can boot, but whatever mac version(Mojave, Catalina) I choose to load, I get the Apple logo and nothing.
Going back to Clover, everything works as expected.

How do I activate verbose mode in OC picker?

The OpenCore EFI requires CFG-Lock to be disabled in BIOS. We’ve also enabled SIP since 0.6.7, which may cause some issues with third party kernel extensions. SIP can be disabled by setting the NVRAM variable ‘csr-active-config’ back to E7030000. This is mentioned in the mini guide for 0.6.7.

Verbose mode is activated by pressing CMD-V at OpenCore Picker before clicking on the boot disk.
 
Hm. My AMD RX 480 is not in the first slot. (My Noctua is too big.) Would this make a difference?
This should not matter. Is this the first time you're migrating to OpenCore or you've been using a previous version of it?

Some additional info about OpenCanopy:
