I upgraded to Ventura 13.1 today, from 13.01. No issues so far. I have a BOXNUC8i5BEK1 with 4 GB memory, 512GB NVMe. This is the short version.

Dell Optiplex 9010 MT mod use GPU covered PCIe 1x slot <Link>. I did do this on a 9010 MT.

A lot better solution than I had posted, which required trimming and sanding the ribbon cable of the adapter! A no-brainer choice!

That looks really promising. I might order one to test out the clearances. I'll let you know if I do.

Well shoot. I have a BCM943602CS and an adapter which I borrowed from my working HP 6300 USDT, HOWEVER, I only now realized that there is no internal USB on the Optiplex 9020 USFF. Drat. Now I need to drill a hole and run a cable to the outside and connect to one of the USB 2.0 ports on the...

The boot messages are still coming up, even after removing the Azurewave card, so maybe they were always there? Anyone have an idea what those are? Is it an issue?

Bummer. I've tried to look for a supported list for Monterey. Is there one? mini-pcie of course I am familiar with the MT and SFF PCIe list. UPDATE: seems the BCM943602CS is available, and I'll need an adapter to mini-pcie. I'll give that a go.

I have a surprise problem that I need some help with. I reported a nicely working USFF on Monterey. However, I just just moved over a working half-size mini-pcie WiFi+BT AW CB160H, which was working fine in my 9010 USFF under Mojave+Clover. As it is a supported/native card, I was fully...

Well, I made it. Monterey installed, and updated too. Really appreciate all the work @trs96 puts into these guides. In this case I think I thought "I know what to do" and instead I really needed to focus and pay attention. Went smoothly and I'm happy with the results. Thanks.

It's all good. I am confessing to being humbled :-). I need to read and learn! New question, to me, the guide seems to be saying I need to install Catalina, and upgrade to Big Sur and/or Monterey. Is that only for a certain path (ie those without macs/hackintoshs)? Second question, I don't...

I am starting my install today using this guide. I don't have Windows installed on this USFF; it came with a wiped 500GB drive. I got stumped for a bit trying to follow the guide at the point to generate a SmUUID. I have a working hackintosh, and the guide suggests using the .dmg of OCAT as...

Hi, coming late to the "refresh" game. I have a NUC8i5BEK1 that I originally set up on Clover using this (Rehabman) guide. I see @Leesureone has posted EFI for various OC releases, however, I am wondering if they are appropriate for my i5? I'm going to install fresh on a separate drive, with...

Oh, how did I forget my HP 8300 Elite USDT! I did that one based on your guide as well! It is currently running Mojave/Clover and I am using in my little corner of our utility room as a general machine AND running OctoPrint for my 3D printer! (A Creality Ender 3). I have maxed out that...

My first/oldest hackintosh is on an Intel NUC7, using Rehabmans' guides. I have it mounted to the VESA mounts on the back of a 32" Viewsonic monitor, so a "stealth" HackiMac, if you will. It is now running Catalina/Clover. My oldest hardware would be the Optiplex 9010, using @trs96 guide...

I have repaired three of these monitors and used this very video as a guide to repair a failed backlight. I replaced the entire led strips as they had failed and not just the connector. GET and use the suction cups. The glass is fragile, yet obviously doable. Don’t touch the glass of the...
