My first Hackintosh build! This is my first build, and I'm still learning a lot. I will be updating this post with more progress as I progress. With excitement I did not check well enough what hardware was good to buy. Therefore, I put myself in a corner where I was forced to use Monterey and spoof my CPU for example. I still have to buy a second monitor but one is fine for now.

I started reading a lot about OpenCore and Hackintosh to gain more knowledge how everything works and what to expect. I started to follow the guide to get a bootable USB and installed Monterey on it. The hardware I bought forced me to use Monterey since my GPU got supported in Monterey, and I wanted to use it.

To obtain my ACPI files I used SSDTime in Windows. For USB Mapping I created my own map using the USBToolbox repository (https://github.com/USBToolBox/tool). I have also followed the post install USB mapping and all ports work, except for Bluetooth.

Since my CPU is not supported I had to spoof it (If anyone has the optimal spoof, if that even exists... let me know). Also CPU is Rocket Lake, but Dortania does not have a specific tab about it. Just follow Comet lake install.

Installation
For the installation I followed Dortania's tutorial and have read fourms on tonymac. I can explain the installation in detail, but I think everything that has to be said is already in the tutorial of Dortania.
Link: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/

BIOS
I just followed Dortania's BIOS settings but I will summarize in short what I've done specifically for my motherboard.
Disable:

• Fast Boot
• Secure Boot
• VT-d
• CSM
• Thunderbolt
• Intel Platform Trust
• CFG Lock

Enable:

• VT-x
• Above 4G decoding
• Hyper-Threading
• EHCI/XHCI Hand-off
• SATA Mode: AHCI

Things I was not able to find in my BIOS:
Disable:

• Serial/COM Port
• Parallel Port
• Intel SGX

Enable:

• Execute Disable Bit
• OS type: Windows 8.1/10 UEFI Mode
• DVMT Pre-Allocated(iGPU Memory): 64MB

Summary

What Works

• All USB ports (Might not be at optimal speed, still have to do the Post install USB Map)
• Wake-up
• Sleep
• Multiboot
• Ethernet 1G
• Ethernet Killer 3100G 2.5G
• Wifi
• Audio (I connected my speakers via cable from my monitor to an amplifier and then to my speakers. I still have to test audio directly to the MB)

What doesn't work:

• Bluetooth (The Bluetooth turns on and off and my phone can find the Hackintosh. But the Hackintosh can not find any device. This might be a problem since Monterey has rewritten the Bluetooth stack and the kext does not work.)
• There is one Thunderbolt connector on the MB, I have not tested it but I think it does not work. Will try to fix using post install.

I'm still learning a lot and testing a lot, so I think there is a lot to improve on. If you have any tips or improvements -> please let me know. I see this as a learning experience and will try to improve wherever I can. I have tried Geekbench and I think my results can be better. If someone knows any improvements please let me know. The results:

GPU:

Updates

USB Post install Mapping:
I have followed the post install mapping to ensure I have the correct ports and to hopefully fix Bluetooth. Unfortunately Bluetooth still does not work. The location of the port is 1490000 and I have set it to type 255. Still it does not work. The other ports all work .

Congratulations! Nice build description.

UPDATE: I remove the About This Mac image because you did not have your serial number blocked out.
