Hi. I have a BitFenix Phenom mini-ITX case with a Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Ultra, Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 graphics card, Core i9-10900K 3.7 GHz 10 core processor. I've been using a BeQuiet Pure Loop 120mm water cooling system, which seems to have partially or fully failed. My CPU quickly begins to...

I've got a bit of strangeness going on. In my efforts to get Ethernet working (which I finally did), something has gone wonky with my WiFi settings. WiFi shows up in the menu bar at the top of the screen, and I'm able to toggle it on and off, but in System Settings/Network, it shows as not...

So, I finally got a hardline wired to my new home office. However, when I connect the ethernet cable to the Hack, it says "Ethernet Connected," but there is no internet. I brought in my wife's windows laptop and plugged it up, and sure enough, there was internet. I've tried restarting, I've...

Hey, guys. I connected by USB Turntable to my Hack, and when selecting USB Audio Codec as the input source, I can see the input meter moving, but no sound comes from the speakers (audio is otherwise fine, I can hear YouTube, Spotify, etc., just fine). Did some Googling and found a couple of...

So, thanks to the good folks here and the Dortonia guide, I have WiFi up and running on Sonoma. But the speed is really slow... a little over 100 MPS while my phone, in the same location is pulling down 600 MPS+. May be time for a new WiFi card. What is recommended these days that is...

After installing Sonoma, Built-In Output is no longer available in my sound control panel, which means I can't select my speakers. So, I have essentially lost sound. Any way to get it back?

I'm trying to update to 13.5.2. When I download the latest release of OCAT, it opens as 0.9.2, and when I run Help/Update Check, it tells me I'm on the latest version. But I see that I need to be at least on 0.9.3. Why is the latest release coming up as 0.9.2, and where can I get an higher...

@Edhawk @UtterDisbelief I may have screwed up, but I'm hoping the damage isn't irreparable. When I was reconnecting my video card, I realized I had crossed cables with the audio cables. Rather than unplugging the video card again, which is what I should have done, I unplugged the audio cables...

I'm getting ready to try to install my Broadcom BCM94360CS in my hack to see if I can reestablish AirDrop. There's no Bios setting to disable the onboard WiFi on my Z490I Aorus Ultra MB. Does anyone know of an alternate method? Thanks.

It's kind of a generic USB CD/DVD drive, but CDs/DVDs that mounted fine under Monterey are just not mounting at all in Ventura. It spins, it tries to mount, then eventually gives up. Anyone else had this problem, know of any troubleshooting steps to try? This is the drive...

So, I'm on OC 0.8.5. I updated my Lilu, Whatevergreen, Apple ALC, and VirtualSMC kexts to the latest. I updated from 12.6 to 12.6.1, and all was well, then I plunged into the update for Ventura. Everything appeared to be going fine. On the third or fourth reboot, however, the progress bar...

Now that I finally have my system up and running on 12.3, I'm getting greedy. Is there any trick to enable Airdrop using my Z490 I Aorus Ultra's built-in WiFi/Bluetooth? That's the only thing that's missing, and while I know I can email files to myself, I really enjoyed the ease of Airdrop...

I finally got my machine restored and ports mapped, and everything running smoothly, then tried to update to 12.3. At first, all seemed to be going well, but after the first restart, the progress bar stopped, there was no hard disk activity for about 10 minutes, so I restarted. When I did, the...

Hi, I'm trying to install Catalina on an external drive so I can map my USB ports. I created an install stick in terminal (I already had an archive copy of the Catalina installer), and it boots, recognizes target drive, and starts the installation, but when it restarts, it doesn't recognize the...

@Edhawk So, I got my machine back, and I folllowed the Dortonia Guide for setting up an OC config.plist for comet lake (have the Gigabyte Z490 I Aorus Ultra MB and Core I-9 10900K). I went into BIOS and made the recommended changes from the TonyMacx86 installation guide. I created a boot stick...

I’m having to replace my MB and processor, but the drives are all intact. I know that I can follow the Dortonia Guide and build an OC EFI folder on a Windows machine… but is there any way to make a bootable USB drive with that EFI folder without having to install Mac OS? Just so I can get the...

Hi, all… back in 2018, when I built my hack, I bought a Corsair CS550M for my BitPhenix Phenom case. That power supply seems to have failed, and I’m having a hard time finding the same model. Can anyone recommend a contemporary equivalent that will fit the same case? Will the CX550M work?

Hey, all... on OC 0.7.4 and updated to Monterey... now having a problem I haven't had in years, and certainly not since I switched to OpenCore. When the computer goes to sleep, all external discs eject. The remount as soon as I wake the computer up, and I've tried a full shut down and restart...

I'm getting the following errors from ocvalidate: But OpenRuntime.efi IS in EFI/OC/Drivers, and I used ProperTree to take a snapshot... so, I'm pulling what's left of my hair out figuring out what to do. And I don't understand the serialization errors at all. Anyone have any thoughts that...

I just updated to OC 0.7.2 for the latest update. Ran ocvalidate to check my config.plist. Only error returned was the the one below. I don't seem to have an "Extras" directory? All USB ports are working, but I'm not sure what I need to do, if anything? Thanks in advance for any insight.
