If you want to stick with High Sierra, r5125 will bring you minor benefits but huge troubles.Im using clover 4630.
Im stuck at high sierra bcoz my videocard.
Should I update clover to 5125 or is pointless?
If yes, is just go to clover configurator and click in update?
I would suggest version R5119, which has always worked the best for me on High Sierra, both on my "Mini-ITX 1" and Mini-ITX 3" (below). I run R5126 on "Mini-ITX 4," but that computer runs Catalina and it boots more slowly on 5126 than it did on 5119. Also, getting to R5126 involves learning some OpenCore stuff like "Quirks" which is not all that easy. "Mini-ITX 2" is also on Catalina, but still runs R5119, which works fine.Should I update clover to 5125 or is pointless?
It's really, literally the only way to go. Clover has adopted so much from OpenCore that it wouldn't work for Monterey or Ventura if it didn't have so many features that OpenCore pioneered in the last year or so. Makes sense to go with OC for use with recent hardware and even some older systems running HS or newer macOS.I'm now using OpenCore version 0.8.3 on my computers Mini-ITX 1, 3, and 4 (below)... and it works on High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur. IMHO OpenCore is the way to go.
yeah I saw it was 2 years dead, I figured it would be neater if I posted here rather than create a new thread. I tried configuring OC but gave up half way it was too confusing for me, particularly creating custom SSDT files or whatever they are called so I just skipped it and I got a menu but it wouldn't boot. I couldn't get the Quirks to work in Clover for Big Sur or Monterey so I gave up and stuck with Clover/Catalina. But the Clover installer doesn't seem to follow any pattern. I should really leave Clover alone and just update the kexts only as I am using old HW and the same old OS so I don't need the latest version of Clover. I just hope when my machine dies in 4 years there is more noob friendly documentation and posts about OC, or I will have to build the exact same spec as someone else who has posted their config file. I don't have the time to learn OC tbh, I am sure I could if I put my mind to it, but I have so many projects I need to work on that I couldn't justify it until the time when I needed to build a new computer.Note date on post #105 above.

My "Mini-ITX 3"computer (listed below) is a Gigabyte Z370N-WIFI running High Sierra Mac OS 10.13.6 and has an Nvidia graphics card, so it's not going to be upgraded to a later MacOS. But I've attached my OpenCore 0.8.3 EFI folder (less Generic Platform data, USBPorts.kext and the nVidia boot argument). I also changed its SMBIOS from my "iMac18,3" to your "iMac19,1" since you would need that for later versions of MacOS. You can look at it and see if it might be useful to you as a reference. OpenCore works across many Mac OS versions, and this is the latest released one.yeah I saw it was 2 years dead, I figured it would be neater if I posted here rather than create a new thread.

Thanks very much! I will have a look at it. Someone did this for me before when I was complaining about OC lol, I tried the file out and it didn't work, it needed some tweaking, perhaps it was you?

[Edit: Note that I just replaced my EFI file upload in the last few minutes... I had forgotten to delete my Generic Platform data. Use this one!]
