New quick follow-up message: I have successfully updated to OpenCore 0.9.9 and macOS Ventura 13.6.5. As always: no problem! By the way, I have also updated QuickBench to v6 and ran some new benchmarks, just to see: CPU : single-core = 2,259 / multi-core = 9,482 GPU : OpenCL = 55,959 / Metal =...

As far as I know, the Sidecar problem is not the result of the BCM94360NG module, but of the SMBIOS module that is chosen in your configuration. In my case, I have set the "MacPro7,1" profile because it is the most coherent with my uses, but Sidecar gets disabled because it relies on the iGPU...

Nice box, indeed! By the way, what is your WiFi card? The BCM94360NG also?

Indeed, one of the reasons for which I chose the 12600 instead of the 12600k is not to be worried by problems with different core types. I hope his tips will help you!

You should activate verbose mode to check at which step the booting process gets stuck: it often helps knowing what is wrong with a config!

As a quick follow-up, I can report that this build still holds on pretty well with the recently released Sonoma 14.2, still with OpenCore 0.9.3. Just like 14.0, everything works — except WiFi, of course, since the drivers for the BCM94360NG module have been removed in Sonoma. Thus, you can...

The first question that comes to my mind is: which version of Monterey are you trying to boot? The Radeon 6600 is supported only in Monterey 12.1, so if you happen to have used a 12.0 installer, then it may be the reason.

Thanks for the heads-up @CaseySJ, do you know if there are some replacement M.2 modules on the market that work under Sonoma with all the "Apple features"?

Hi, I have tried running Sonoma in public beta about 2 months ago: everything was working fine, except for the WiFi module. Unfortunately, Apple removed its drivers in Sonoma. Curiously, Bluetooth was working, though... But the lack of WiFi is enough to make you lose the specific Apple...

Around 20 minutes to update from 13.4.1 through the Mac App Store (I block all Apple updates on my network with Pi-Hole to avoid unwanted updates), everything went smoothly ! OpenCore version : 0.9.3

The 2 first screws are on the back of the motherboard, yes, but the 2 other are on the daughter card itself.

It is really not difficult: you have to remove the existing daughter card (2 screws), then remove the metal box that protects the small M.2 wireless card (2 screws), and then remove the wireless card itself (1 screw). After that, you just have to exchange this card with the new one and put it...

For the record, I just updated to OpenCore 0.9.3 (through OCAuxiliaryTools) & Ventura 13.4 → Not a single problem! I also upgraded Geekbench to v6 and ran a new test:

Nope, this folder is an artefact of the "Compress" function integrated in the Finder, you can trash it without any problem.

Nope, I only removed the SMBIOS info items. I mostly used pre-generated files available from Dortania's guide, and maybe a few from @CaseySJ. I do not precisely remember this part, but I did not generate any of them by myself. I sincerely doubt your GPU is making problems if it runs well...
