@StefanAM - Thanks :thumbup:

@etorix and @StefanAM - I thank you both greatly for your help. Enabling SetupVirtualMap in config.plist (found under Booter -> Quirks), has let me boot into Monterey again (will try Ventura later - but I see no reason why it won't also work here).

I would hold off installing this for the time being. I installed the new BIOS on my Gaming X motherboard, two days ago, and can no longer boot into Monterey or Ventura (Public Beta). Will wait to hear if any other users are affected, or if this is just down to my configuration. Hopefully a...

@OptimaLemon - Just to add to CaseySJ's thorough reply - I've read that some users are having success with OCAuxiliaryTools (OCAT for short), which can be used to modify OpenCore's config.plist and other files. This seems to be a new configuration tool, that can also update your kexts, and make...

@etorix - Thanks for the heads-up on this, and for providing a link for me as well :thumbup: Will give this a try, and hope it fixes the "fans constantly spinning up after macos boot" issue I currently have.

@NorthAmTransAm - Hi, yes, I'm using them both together. The CPUFriend & DataProvider that's currently in my /EFI/OC/Kexts folder, is one taken from CaseySJ's EFI, which is "using frequency vectors from (an) iMac Pro 1,1" according to their excellent build guide. I assumed that since their CPU...

Hi, I wanted to post one final update on HT, with my CpuTopologyRebuild.kext results. In Geekbench, with the kext enabled, I got scores of: Single Core: 1863 Multi Core: 11529 Which are in line with results from my Windows 11 installation. With the kext disabled, my scores were: Single Core...

@felbo - Hey, I just wanted to say thank you - for putting together this thorough guide for the Gigabyte Gaming X motherboard. In the end, it led to me to choosing the Gaming X to partner with my new i5-12600K CPU (knowing it was Hackintosh compatible). The USB diagrams also came in very useful...

@NorthAmTransAm - Hi, yes, I'm currently using it alongside CPUFriend & DataProvider. However, I only setup my new Alder Lake system just over a week ago (a motherboard and CPU swap), so I haven't had much time for testing yet - I'm still in the tweaking phase :) I might try and get some...

@NorthAmTransAm - Hi, I've come across this Lilu plugin/kext in my Hackintosh travels: https://github.com/b00t0x/CpuTopologyRebuild I don't know if this would let you enable HT in Monterey - it looks promising though.

@ThetaK7 - Perhaps all you need to do is add a scaled resolution for 2880x1620? I've used this in the past to add unsupported resolutions for my Intel iGPU: https://codeclou.github.io/Display-Override-PropertyList-File-Parser-and-Generator-with-HiDPI-Support-For-Scaled-Resolutions/ For an...

I've just upgraded to the Monterey 12.1 public beta, and can confirm that my AMD RX 6600 XT is working under this new update (I'm using an XFX Speedster QICK 308 card). I used an iMac19,1 SMBIOS, and added the "agdpmod=pikera" boot-arg to my OpenCore config.plist (WEG was installed in...

After an upgrade from one of the earlier Big Sur betas went wrong, my only option was to do a fresh install. That's as far as I got though, because I kept getting stuck on on the second stage of the installer, with every attempt ending in a reboot. Eventually, I found this very useful tool, the...

Hi, I recently came across this list of working and non-working apps in Big Sur, over on the MacRumors forum. I think it's been compiled for real - i.e. non-hackintosh - macs, but should still apply to our machines: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/big-sur-working-not-working-apps.2242312/

I finally managed to get the Big Sur Beta installed today. Despite my best efforts, my USB installer kept exiting during the first stage of installation (for no apparent reason). In the end, what fixed this for me, was redownloading the Big Sur installer. I also added "--downloadassets" to the...
