[Podlipny]

Hello,

I am building a new Hackintosh, mostly for development, photoshop, and lightroom work. My specs are:

Type
CPU	Core i9-9900K 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor
Cooler	be quiet! - Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard	Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Graphics card	Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 5700 XT 8G, 8GB GDDR6
Memory	HyperX Fury Black 32GB (2x16GB)
Storage	Samsung SSD 970 PRO, M.2 - 512GB
	Crucial 128GB SSD - will be windows 10 partition
	Kingstone 1024GB SSD - data storage for hackintosh
	Seagate 2TB HDD - windows 10 storage
Case	NZXT H510, window, white
Power Supply	Seasonic Focus Plus Gold - 850W
Other	Trust Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter (18187)

At the moment I have working Catalina in version 10.15.2 Beta (I used this version because there is native support for RX 5700 XT, which works fine), but I have few questions regarding clover and other setups. I am not completely new to Hackintosh, but I am still having problems with proper clover setup.

Here is my EFI folder: EFI Github

I've changed SMBIOS to MacPro6,1, because I was unable to make iMac19,1 to work.

But I have problem with HW acceleration, where Media Encoder gives me this error

and I am unable to see GPU sensors in iStat

So should I change SMBIOS to iMac19,1? When I did tgat I am unable to boot into system, beacuse all my boots end up in black screen.



Here are my MacPro6,1 benchmarks:

Spoiler

My BIOS setting: - for MacPro6,1 I am using iGPU disabled

Hei @pompey can you link your EFI ? I'm trying to install Catalina on my pc but I have a lot a different issues (green screen, black screen, memory error, etc...). It's my first hackintosh. I have the exact same configuration as you.

to avoid green or black screen you should install beta or final release of 10.15.2 (19C57) which is released just today
attached are EFI which I am using now

Oh ok thanks you very much i'll try that

Edit: 1 week of pain, that you solved in 30 minutes ! Thank you @pompey it's working super fine. The only thing that is not working is Intel UHD 630. Otherwise everything is working smoothly

@aerial64 no problemo
I think having smbios which we are using and running IGPU is causing an issue, but anyway I'm not using IGPU

@pompey Thank you for your EFI, I've tried that, but it wont boot for me. It hangs at the beginning of apple loading. Here is my current EFI folder (only one which worked for me) https://github.com/Podlipny/clover but still without HW acceleration
