    Robbish's 8yr old ATX IvyBridge Hackintosh GA-Z77-DS3H - i5-3570K - HD 4000 [OpenCore/macOS Big Sur]

    Never mind. I set the IGPU from Auto to Enabled in the BIOS. Now it shows up in the System Report (never knew it was a PCI device).

    Robbish's 8yr old ATX IvyBridge Hackintosh GA-Z77-DS3H - i5-3570K - HD 4000 [OpenCore/macOS Big Sur]

    Thanks @Robbish , I have made the changes to the config.plist to enable the HD4000 graphics in headless mode. Seems to run as before. So how do I know if it is working? Do I need to set anything in BIOS to ensure the IGPU is being used?

    Robbish's 8yr old ATX IvyBridge Hackintosh GA-Z77-DS3H - i5-3570K - HD 4000 [OpenCore/macOS Big Sur]

    Great writeup! I have the same CPU but with a Z77-UD5H motherboard and a NVIDIA 680GTX GPU. I have Big Sur running with OpenCore by essentially copying someone's EFI folder (my attempts at following the Dortana guide failed). I have the IGPU disabled, I think. I would like to clean up/start...

    Fan speed control with OpenCore

    I replaced VirtualSMC and its associated kexts in OpenCore with FakeSMC and its kexts and updated the config.plist. I was able to boot into Big Sur. HWMonitor can read the temps, but I cannot control the fan speed (I can make changes, but they don't affect the speed). HWMonitor tries to...

    Fan speed control with OpenCore

    My motherboard (Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H) only allows me to set the slope of the fan speed curve in manual mode. I have set the slope to minimum. I would like to completely turn off the case fans when the temps are low enough. I could do this with the Clover/FakeSMC/HWMonitor combination.

    [HOW TO] OpenCore 0.6.3 > 0.6.4 differences

    OK, it appears my understanding of the update process is essentially correct. As you say, I will not change from 0C 0.6.3 at this time. The Differences.pdf gives the changes between the current and the previous version. I am concerned that if I get too far behind it may become extremely...

    Fan speed control with OpenCore

    I am trying to regain control over the speed of the fans. They are currently too noisy and temps are quite low. I did this before in Mojave with Clover/FakeSMC/HWMonitor. How do do this Big Sur with OpenCore and VirtualSMC? I am able to read the fan speed with HWMonitorSMC2, but there appears...

    [HOW TO] OpenCore 0.6.3 > 0.6.4 differences

    I am new to OpenCore. I have to confess I started out by simply copying a EFI folder from another member, so my understanding is not that strong. I have successfully used OC 0.63 to get Big Sur to run well and now I am wondering if I need/should update to 0.64. I do not know what the process is...

    [SOLVED] SATA hot plug patch not working in Big Sur

    Thanks! I was able to get it to work after I figured out how to use ProperTree to add a patch. External drives now show up perfectly in Big Sur. What plist editor do you use?

    [SOLVED] SATA hot plug patch not working in Big Sur

    I am new to openCore (less than a week). How exactly did you do this? Could you please post the changes you made to the config.plist and where exactly do you put them? Thanks!

    {SOLVED} - Z77X-UD5H - Big Sur - OpenCore 0.6.3

    @madman1234 I have the same setup. I would appreciate a copy of your EFI folder as well. I am having a terrible time with even getting the USB to boot.
