While it can be great to get an instant result from using someone's EFI, the problem with it is you don't really know what is doing what and you haven't learned very much as you do in the process of doing your own, so when it's time to troubleshoot, you come unstuck. To be clear, I wouldn't...

@Middleman Looking at your latest EFI folder - assuming the OP has your latest attached? - There's a few kexts I know I won't need or want - CPUFriend must be specific to your CPU, also SASMegaRaid obviously. I think the RestrictEvents kext is specific to the MacPro 7.1 SMBIOS IIRC, while I'll...

I'm not the OP so it's not my EFI - maybe Middleman will respond to your post but I'm certainly no expert in how to make this board work! Just here to learn myself. I did take a quick look at your EFI and you don't have the extra kexts that work alongside VirtualSMC that you need to connect to...

So having recently upgraded my hackintosh on an ATX board (z490 Tomahawk + 10400 + 5700xt) which I'm writing this on. I'm about to start on an upgraded hackintosh for my wife using a z590i Vision D and a 10100 with an RX 580 and I'm doing a bit of research before I dive in. She's disabled and...

I'm here to ask some questions of my own, but which version of Windows are you trying to use? Bear in mind that 11 requires various secure boot and TPM related settings, where 10 doesn't. i.e. some of the generally recommended BIOS settings for hackintoshing can bork Windows 11, which is maybe...

I've been following developments with Framework for a while via Louis Rossman and others. I'm delighted the project even exists and still happier that they would seem to be having some success. They've also made some bold statements about being accountable and staying on mission in years to...

Hi Jaymonkey - very helpful thank you. I've even more EMF to contend with than a regular PC, with all the audio rackmount gear so I appreciate your post. The ebay link is dead (unsuprisingly) and the cables on ebay seemed to be 5m and 10m but I found 2m cables easily enough on amazon. I like...

Hey that's very helpful to know. I have a Fenvi T919 in what I jokingly call my 'Rack Pro' - it's antennae are buried at the back of a rack unit with lots of other audio gear. I generally have wired or 2.4GHz peripherals so once I got Airdrop etc working I kinda forgot about it's bluetooth...

I've only got 20 odd years, but otherwise same boat. My hardware is firewire based and far too good (RME) to just ditch because they've reinvented interface connectivity again, again ... :crazy: So the irony is that in order for me to run my home studio how I want to - multiple displays, quality...

I know I said I wouldn't but I got intrigued and so went to https://dortania.github.io/ and have read through quite a few of the monthly update reports from 2020 onwards. I don't pretend to understand most of what is being proudly announced, but at the same time, I massively respect and...

Can you expand on that please? What have you noticed?

So I've built four Intel and one Ryzen hackintosh which are used daily by my family and which I maintain for them. Initially I kept them all fairly up to date, but never really noticed any difference, so after a year or so didn't bother. However, I think they're due for a bit of an overhaul...

Is this really so specific to Big Sur? IOW what happens if USB 2.0 ports are disabled on Mojave ? Personally I much prefer to stay at least a couple of OS's behind - things tend to be more stable and, especially for something as bleeding edge as MacOS on Ryzen, easier to troubleshoot when you're...

You're welcome. Recommend starting with an erased SSD drive so you download the OS you want as part of the process - this ensures a really vanilla / clean install because of the chance you may have some of your hackintosh kexts in L/E or S/L/E if you try to use an existing clover install. It's...

Hi sorry for delayed reply - the entire problem was caused by my using a version of clover that was pre-configured for motherboards WITHOUT native NVRAM support - but this board DOES have native NVRAM support - so change your Clover install - the bootloader itself not your config.plist -...
