im not sure i need to look inside my pc case but the video card that is intalled right now is this one NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB and this is the pc case im using BitFenix No Power Supply Mini-ITX Tower Case BFC-PHE-300-KKXKK-RP

You have plenty of room in that case for a much larger video card...

The Visiontek one should fit in any system that can accept a video card. But you have lots of room in your case and don't need to limit yourself to such a little card.

Hi @wstrohm -what CPU do you have in your H170N please?

Is it the i7 6700 shown in your sig? I'm struggling to boot my machine with your EFI, the macOS installer causes the screen to go blank shortly after starting, but iirc I have an older Intel CPU (Core i3 6100). Video card is an Nvidia Quadra K600.

Thanks.

Yes, It's an i7 6700 as shown below. That is a 6th-generation Intel CPU, same generation as yours, I think. If you upload the description of your computer, maybe we could see a difference that might matter.

@wstrohm the OC you've provided works very well for me. Do you have updated OC that works for Monterey?

The OC version I used was 0.7.4. The current version is 0.7.5, which should be used for Monterey, or so I have read. I am using 0.7.5 on my "Mini-ITX 1," Mini-ITX 3," and "Mini-ITX 4," and it works fine, but I am running all of those computers under MacOS Mojave, 10.4.6, build 18G9323. I downgraded "Mini-ITX 4" from Big Sur to Mojave for (1) compatibility with the HFS+ file system and (2) ability to play all my Cyan video games, some of which have 32-bit code in them. I have never updated to Monterey, but I'm sure OC 0.7.5 would work with it without any changes.

Hi there,

You can try my build here > https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...fi-samsung-860-evo-rx550.313767/#post-2257492

It's on OC 0.6.5 for Z170N Big Sur (compatible with H170N) and can be easily updated to OC 0.7.8
with Opencore Configurator or OCAuxiliarytool

Here it is, with my Platform "Generic" stuff deleted.
