Having used my first Hackintosh (B75M-D3P - i5-3570K) since 2012 and upgraded from Clover to Opencore over the years. I thought is was about time to create another that would be able to be upgraded to Monterey (and possibly further) without adding a dGPU as HD4000 is no longer supported past Big Sur. So I managed to source some second hand parts for a Coffee Lake build for less than a graphics card to update the B75M build. So for now the B75M has been retired but would like to find a way to keep it alive for something (cue future project with Mac Pro case at some point).
I wanted to try and stay without a dGPU for lower power consumption and noise - trying to go as silent for as cheap as I can, I think the hard drives or PSU are the limiting factor at the moment. From what I read UHD630 from the Coffee Lake processors was the way to go for not a lot of money.

What Works:
- USB's at USB2 & USB3 speeds (thanks trs96 for reminding me about using Big Sur 11.2.3 or earlier to map USB ports)
- Sleep
- iServices
- Wifi
- HDMI (with some tweaks)
- Audio including HDMI
What Doesn't Work:
- DVI port has colour tint (despite frame buffer changes and port definition)
Once I had tested with a spare HDD the booting and setup of OpenCore I transferred the EFI to my current setup and replaced the motherboard etc so it was pretty seamless.
I now just need to sort the USB mapping and DVI port so I could run dual screens at some point.
USB Mapping:
- now working, see attached USBMap kext

Had to do some iGPU patching to get things working better. Needed to change the profile of both the HDMI and DVI port from being recognised as Display ports.
DeviceProperties -> Add -> PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)
-> framebuffer-con1-enable -> 01000000
-> framebuffer-con2-enable -> 01000000
-> framebuffer-con1-type -> 00080000
-> framebuffer-con2-type -> 00020000
Also had to change the device id to get the tint removed from the HDMI (but did not work for the DVI)
-> AAPL,ig-platform-id -> 0000A53E
Based on my chipset device id being 0x3E92 which is natively supported and the recommended frame buffer showing a pink/purple tint.

Next steps are to try and find a workaround for the
Also updated to Monterey without any issues straight form the software updater.
