ASUS PRIME Z690-A + I9-12900K SUCCESS

[spraggamacx86]

It took me several weeks of research to finally have a stable built. The system is working 99%. the other 1% I can live without. I build this system for my home audio studio and I am more than satisfied with its performance. A big thanks to the Hackintosh community, Opencore team, tonymacx86, and all the user who has shared their experiences to help other. I am not going to have time to write a guide. I used mostly opencore guide.

What's the 1% that didn't work?

The 1% that don't work properly are:

1. Waking from sleep requires a double tap of the keyboard for the display to show,
2. Sleep sometimes results in a shutdown.
3. Shutting down the system sometimes results in panic.
4. GeekBench score low.
5. USB-C port doesn't recognize my audio interface.

I would turn off AppleCpuPmCfgLock ... Unless you're on 10.4 or older.
Note: This option should be avoided whenever possible. See AppleCpuPmCfgLock description for more details.
