    Monterey/Ventura on HP EliteDesk 800 G4/G5 Mini - The Perfect MacMini8,1 Hackintosh - OpenCore

    Is yours a MINI? Which Bluetooth and Wifi hardware do you have? Mine has Intel for both (HP Elitedesk 800 G3 MINI w/i7 CPU) and trying to find out what I need to do to configure both.

    Monterey/Ventura on HP EliteDesk 800 G4/G5 Mini - The Perfect MacMini8,1 Hackintosh - OpenCore

    Hoping to build directly on what others have done here vs have to start entirely from scratch and suffer through all the unknowns like my last build (although it's been ROCK solid the last 3yrs). Have a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 32Gb DDR4 w/1Tb M2 - really hoping the built-in Intel BT/Wifi works with...

    macOS Ventura is Now Available From the Mac App Store

    Oh and sorry if not directly relevant but I thought I'd go back and check to see if anything had changed on the 'no Ethernet' status of the 'Gigabyte Z490 Vision G'. I actually don't recall what OS/OC versions we lost it but I've literally had it unplugged ever since and just been using...

    macOS Ventura is Now Available From the Mac App Store

    Thanks! I'll try that. Yeah - tracking changes and individual updates is tough when I'm only digging around in here once or twice a year. In between the OS upgrades, the platform performs exactly as I need it to for literally months at a time between reboots sometimes(!) Update: And all...

    macOS Ventura is Now Available From the Mac App Store

    1-2x /yr I update OS and have to go through the painful process of remembering "how to Hackintosh" LOL. I'm at OS 12.6 I've DL & installed latest OpenCore. DL the latest recommended KEXT's (the usual suspects) into the EFI\OC\kexts folder. Someone remind me what else I need to do? Update...

    Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

    So I change the device properties to "0B000000" and remove ONLY the "alcd=11" part of the string in NVRAM/BootArg?

    "[1] 1049" Safari window opens immediately - thanks! Subsequent opening "New Window" works too (no safe-mode required). I rebooted and Safari seems back to opening normally. Not quite sure what happened here but happy :). Thank you! That said, I'm back to having lost all signs of my ability...

    Legend! This worked perfectly for me first time - Thanks Haurb900!!! Now, if only I knew enough about this stuff to mess around with the built-in 2.5GbE port config! But I know there are much smarter people than me on the job :). Back to undoing the Safari v15 mess.....sigh.

    Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

    Well the upgrade to Monterey went smooth. I did loose the 2.5GbE port but at least it was partially expected. Wireless is working good though. My main two issues are: Audio: Looks like I've lost onboard audio-out. Safari: Completely jacked-up and won't even open! It does appear in tasks...

    Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

    That's great thanks Casey! I should still expect that functionality to go away again as soon as I upgrade to Monterey tho, right?

    Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

    After upgrading OC to 0.7.5 (still on Catalina), I have no Ethernet connection (existing single 2.5GbE port connection on Vision-G). I'm able to switch on my Wireless - so no stress. I know it is expected in Monterey as you warned. It is worth noting that if I boot using my 0.6.1 USB - my...

    Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

    Thanks for the 2x caveats. One difference between the D & G is I only have the one 2.5Gb port (ie: no 1Gb port) so I'll have to watch for that. I can fall back to using wireless if I have to. As for the Samsung NVMe SSD - I can live with long-bootup times as I rarely reboot (assuming it does...

    Hey Casey, my Vision-G rig I built Aug 2020, with your help has run flawlessly pretty much 24x7x365 (bar a few power outages). Running Catalina 10.15.7 on OC 0.6.1. It wakes, it sleeps, it edits my Lightroom/PS content daily with ease. That said - "it's time" lol. I'm working on getting OC...

    [Success] Catalina 10.15.6 on Z490 Vision G via OpenCore.

    And as at Dec 4th, 2021 (1.25yrs later) - I can report this rig has worked absolutely flawlessly and literally been on 24x7x365 except for a handful of power outages. No hardware alterations AT ALL. It's been running the original OC 0.6.1 (I know, I know lol) and Catalina. I've done all the...
