Hello, in 2018 I built a hackintosh following the Buyers' guide on this website. The first few months I was able to install macOS (High Sierra), with many glitches as my GPU wasn't supported anymore. Then it seems my setup was less and less compatible with the subsequent macOS releases. Now I just tried with a Catalina installer, but my PC doesn't even see the many USB sticks I tried anymore, I tried several macOS versions (From Sierra to Catalina). I even tried other install methods than this website's, to no avail. I suspect something might be acting up with my mobo, so I'd like some advice on a compatible motherboard, which would make macOS easier to install and use than what I currently have, or even better, something I could do to make what I currently have compatible (I already set up the BIOS according to this website).
I used the following parts:
Motherboard : Gigabyte Z370P-D3
CPU : Intel Core i7 8700K
GPU : Sapphire Radeon RX 570 PULSE, 8 GB (replacing my older MSI 4 GB Nvidia GT1050 which isn't supported by Apple anymore)
Watercooling : Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 (which I'm replacing by an air cooler because it's very noisy)
HDD : Western Digital WD Blue 2 TB (for data)
NVME SSD : Kingston A1000, 480 GB, M.2 (used for Windows 10 and Ubuntu installs)
SATA SSD : Samsung QEVO 1 TB (For macOS)
Thanks in advance.
