@trs96 do you have a good, current config.plist for a WX4100 4gb? I may try that route first before dropping $600, but I will need to graft the WX4100 settings onto my current config.plist

it was a computer that I retired from a client who got an upgraded Dell optiplex micro, and I decided to load Monterrey onto it just to test it out. It works fine and the performance is about 20%+ faster than my iMac mid 2011 (CPU & video card upgraded). I'm not sure I am going to use it...

Open CL on an i7-4790 optiplex 9020 = 3185 Geekbench score=999, multi-core = 3692. not bad for a free mac!

@trs96 Thanks for your reply. Is this a common issue(?) for Hackintoshes? For example, does this same thing (Metal benchmark freeze) happen with Intel 630 iGPUs? Secondly, are the Metal APIs working on 9020s? Thanks!

I have a 9020 SFF i7-4790 16gb Ram, Monterey up and running just fine. The only issue I have is when i download Geekbench 5 and run the metal compute benchmark, it locks up the hackintosh 29 seconds into the canny metal test. Only way around that is to power off the 9020. Can someone else...

Can someone please post the proper bios settings for a Big Sur/Monterey install for an Optiplex 3080 Micro? Looking for a) standard bios settings b) efi changes to bios such as config lock / dvmt I've done numerous searches but can't find a post which outlines these changes. I do see a...

@alexeyalicante where are you with the optiplex 3080 micro hackintosh? Can you post an updated EFI? What bios settings did you change?

@elfcake thank you very much for your tips - and I will pickup one of those from Amazon. Thanks to your tip: 1) I cloned the 256gb M2 via CCC 2) I opened clover Config and mounted both EFI parts 3) I copied the EFI from the old drive to the temporary SATA drive 4) unmounted 5) shutdown 6)...

@elfcake I have to do the extra step because my MOBO only has one onboard m.2 nvme port. So I need to clone to a 2nd drive and then clone back to the new m.2

does this procedure (cloning via Acronis) work for a hackintosh running catalina and APFS??

@wombat94 this does not work for me under Catalina and using APFS. It throws errors when running the script in either superduper or CCC. I am trying to upgrade my current system from a 256gb SSD to a 1tb SSD. (both M.2 nvme) The way I wanted to do it was to 1) clone old m.2 nvme to 500gb...

Here is the sequence when I run the most current Catalina supplemental update: 1) run update 2) restart 3) mac boots to Clover. 4) partition MacOS install prebooter on preboot is auto-selected and runs. 5) install runs for 20 seconds. never gets to "time remaining..." 6) hackintosh restarts 7)...

Exactly what mine is doing.

I cannot install today's supplemental update either. the hackintosh downloads it, and restarts, but I never get a "time remaining" display, just the regular scroll bar and the mac reboots once or twice then reloads back into the desktop without the update installed. this is the first time I've...
