This build should be compatible with MacOS Mojave / Catalina / Big Sur.

But are you sure you want to use that low profile cooler with a (hot) 8 core CPU like the i7 9700?

Thank you for you reply.
About the cooler i am not really sure about it i was thinking it could be enough, but i still can change do I have to go maybe for a something like a Noctua NH-D15 ?

Also I have a question about the bootloader, which one recommend you for this graphic card, because the seller told who has a Mac Pro told me to go with OpenCore to be able to fully use the CG what's your advice about that ?

Thank you for your help.

If you are going to install and run Big Sur then you have to use OpenCore (or Clover 5124 and later which actually incorporates OpenCore) as older versions of Clover do not support booting Big Sur.

If you want to run Mojave or Catalina you can still use Clover for booting (of course you can also use OpenCore). I use Clover 4920 for Mojave and 5119 for Catalina (the versions included with Unibeast).
