Firstly I want to say sorry for my English, because its not my first language.

I've tried to install hack on my old windows laptop with Ivy Bridge and spend about 2 weeks for this with absolutely no progress. Then I started to search for supported hardware. And then found and bought used m/b ASRock Z370 Pro4, Intel Core i5-9400 cpu and 4Gb of RAM, you will surprised that I spent only about 200$ for this awesome hardware(mb, cpu, mem).
Here is full hw config:
ASRock Z370 Pro4
Intel Core i5-9400
Gainward GTX 760 2Gb
DDR4 Samsung+Kingston 4x4Gb 2933 Mhz
SSD Samsung 970 Pro M.2 512 Gb
WiFi+BT combo card Broadcom BCM94360NG M.2
Chieftec 550W PSU
25" HP Omen FHD 144Hz

Whats working:
Intel UHD 630 (working at 120 Hz very smooth, shows 1536 Mb) 3d-acceleration is ok, tested in Asphalt 9
Realtek ALC892 (working)
Intel Gigabit I219V (working)
USB 3.0 (working all)
HDMI (working, audio is ok)
"10$" Jetaccess keyboard(volume control works fine)
Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 1000 (smooth scroll by Mos works amazingly)

Not works:
power-off(going to reboot instead)
Sleep mode/hybernate works properly but too slow(glitch?)

Looks like a glitch:
I installed 10.15 first. And all of my HW works fine. Then I updated macOS Catalina from 10.15 to 10.15.4. There were no problems with updating except that the system was not able to select boot partition, so after two reboots I did it manually in the clover boot-menu. But after that update I got a glitch: when the boot is almost done(about 70%), the screen goes black for 15-20 seconds, and only after that the logon screen appears. Did anyone get the same?

Update: I downloaded via my MacBook Pro latest Catalina 10.15.4 and did a second try exactly as it explained in this thread: UniBeast: Install macOS Catalina on Any Supported Intel-based PC, and got total working Catalina 10.15.4! It was so easy! Thanks a lot for this amazing guide!

Whats working:
Intel UHD 630 (works at 120 Hz pretty smooth, shows 1536 Mb) 3d-acceleration is ok, tested in Asphalt 9
GTX 760 2Gb works natively at 144 Hz
Broadcom BCM94360NG M.2 works natively
Realtek ALC892
Intel Gigabit I219V
USB 3.0
"10$" Jetaccess keyboard(volume control works fine)
Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 1000 (smooth scroll by Mos works amazingly)
Power-off, Reboot, sleep and wakeup
