Appreciate the guide! As far as this step goes do I just need install the Codec commander kext? I don't see the Codec Commander SSDT mentioned in the guide at all to put with the others.

Also is the AHCI_Series_9.kext in the cloned fork needed? The guide didn't say to put it in the clover kext folder so I did not. Sorry for the questions, I am rather new at this.

Codec Commander can be cloned from Rehabmans fork. AHCI_Series_9.kext is a cosmetic fix which i done not really needed.

You can clone the fork by

Code: 
mkdir ~/Projects
cd ~/Projects
git clone https://github.com/RehabMan/Intel-DH67XX-DSDT-Patch.git dh67.git

Code: 
cd ~/Projects/dh67.git
./download.sh

Code: 
cd ~/Projects/dh67.git
make

thanks for the quick response, I have the CodecCommander.kext after downloading his fork and the tools. Aside from installing the Kext do I have to made a SSDT for my Realtek ALC892? thats what I am confused about, whether all I have to do is install the kext I just got. If there is one already here I don't see it or know what it's named. Thanks!

No. Just need CodecCommander.kext install to L/E. No SSDT is required for CodecCommander.

So heres a guide on MacOS Sierra 10.12.1 up and running on Z97N-WIFI, H97N-WIFI With Nvidia Graphics. This guide will work with 10.9, 10.10. Although I run Mavericks on a second partition.

Guide to install 10.11.6 with Intel HD 4600.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...tel-hd4600-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.203416/

Guide to install 10.11.6 With Nvidia Graphics.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...a-graphics-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.206282/

My configuration on my H97N-WIFI Build.
  • GA-H97N-WIFI.
  • Core i7 4790.
  • Nvidia Gigabyte GTX 760 3 monitors.
  • Corsair RM 650.
  • Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB.
  • Bitfenix Prodigy Case.
  • Apple BCM94602CS in Mini PCI-E Adaptor.
  • Apple Magic Mouse 2, Apple Keyboard 2.
  • 3x ASUS VE248H.

This Guide will also work on Z97N-WIFI Also other Z97/H87 boards will work with this guide.

Things you will need.

16GB USB Flash Drive
macOS Sierra 10.12 downloaded from Mac App Store.
A Mac or a working Hackintosh to download macOS 10.12.1 from Mac App Store and to create installation Pen Drive.
Set of SSDTs. Credits to Rehabman for his help with SSDT-USB & SSDT-HACK.
New set of Config.plists. installer_nvidia_graphics & post_install_nvidia_graphics are for native cards that don't require Nvidia Web Drivers. installer_nvidia_graphics_nvdia_disable=1 & post_install_nvidia_graphics_nvidiaweb are for cards that requires Nvidia Web Drivers.

Bios Settings

You can use factory defaults. But due to my SSDT-UIAC I recommend to have XHCI set to enabled not Auto. VT-d can be left to enabled only if you have dart=0 in config.plist. If you decide to disable VT-d then no need to worry about having dart=0 in config.plist. Recommend not using Beta BIOS. Stay at BIOS F8. Set Boot settings to UEFI Only. Enable XMP Profile 1.

Creating USB

I used createmediainstall using Terminal and install Clover Manually.

Erase USB Boot stick as OS X Extended (Journaled), GUID Partition Map. Naming the Drive as USB. Open. Terminal and copy and paste.

Code: 
sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app


Wait till files are done copying. Now we can move onto install Clover to the Pen drive. At the time of this guide Clover version was 3882.

Open up Clover. Continue, Continue again, Change install location to you're USB drive. Now click on Customise, Now we need to install correct settings for Clover.

To Clone my fork you will need to download developer tools and install using Terminal.


Code: 
git

Now to Clone my fork using Terminal.

Code: 
mkdir~/Z-H97N-WIFI-Patches
cd~/Z-H97N-WIFI-Patches
git clone https://github.com/VoiletDragon/Z-H97N-WIFI-Patches.git

Location of files from my fork will be downloaded to ~(You're Name).

Settings for Clover.

Install For UEFI Booting only.
Install Clover in the ESP.
Theme (select one as you prefer I choose bootcamp)
Drivers64UEFI, OsxAptioFixDrv. (Don't use OsxAptioFixDrv2 it causes problems)
Now you can install Clover. Don't forget to put HFSPlus.efi in Drivers64UEFI and remove VBoxHFS-64.efi. Now we need to put FakeSMC & Ethernet kext, USBInjectAll in EFI/Clover/kexts/other. Remove 10+ folders. FakeSMC, IntelMausiEthernet.kext can be downloaded from downloads section.
You will need to replace the config with installer_nvidia_graphics or installer_nvidia_graphics_nvdia_disable=1. rename to config.
Ethernet kexts you will need depends on which Ethernet port you use. I use IntelMausiEthernet.kext which is on my Github.
USBinjectAll can be downloaded from Rehabmans Fork. Read Readme first.
https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-USB-Inject-All

Once creating you're Clover Boot stick you can now get into installing macOS. At BIOS hit F12 and boot from UEFI Pen Drive. Now Boot and install macOS.

We no longer need to boot into macOS Without Cache as macOS boots with prelinked kernel anyway.

Post Installation

At Post Installation you will need to install Clover to you're boot drive. Its pretty much the same as the Pen drive installation. Except you need to put in place the correct config & SSDTs.
Install For UEFI Booting only.
Install Clover in the ESP.
Theme (select one as you prefer I choose bootcamp)
Drivers64UEFI, OsxAptioFixDrv. (Don't use OsxAptioFixDrv2 it causes problems)
You can choose EmuVaribles if it makes you feel nervous but I didnt. Now you can install Clover. Don't forget to put HFSPlus.efi in Drivers64UEFI and remove VBoxHFS-64.efi. Now we need to install FakeSMC, IntelMausiEthernet.kext and USBinjectall in Library/Extensions. Kexts can be downloaded from downloads section.
You will need to replace the config with post_install_nvidia_graphics or post_install_nvidia_graphics_nvidiaweb rename to config.plist. Only need too install Nvidia Web Drivers if you're Nvidia Graphics Card requires Nvidia Web Drivers.
Ethernet kexts you will need depends on which Ethernet port you use. I use IntelMausiEthernet.kext which is on my Github.
download USBinjectall from Rehabmans fork. Read readme.
https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-USB-Inject-All

Now we need to put in place a few SSDTs. SSDTs we need are,
SSDT-HACK.
SSDT-LPC.
SSDT-USB.
SSDT-SMBUS.
SSDT-MCHC.
SSDT-XWAK.
SSDT-SATA.
SSDT-XHC.
These set of SSDTs go in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched.
Remove config.plist and replace it with the one called post_install_nvidia_graphics or post_install_nvidia_graphics_nvidiaweb and rename to config.plist.

Now we can reboot and boot into macOS without the Pen Drive.

For Native Powermanagement you will need to generate a SSDT using Piker Alpha's ssdtPRGen.sh.Guide can be found here. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/quick-guide-to-generate-a-ssdt-for-cpu-power-management.177456/

For Audio. There are two options here. You can use Toledas Clover Audio Injection but I choose to use RehabMans CodecCommander SSDT & CodecCommander.kext. RehabMans CodecCommander can be found on his Fork. But you can Clone his fork. Look at guide to clone his DH67BL fork. Guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-intel-dh67xx-with-hd3000-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.190228/


As Hibernation isn't supported on a Hackintosh (You will need to disable suspend to disk or S4 sleep) You will need to disable it in Terminal.

Code: 
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage


After updates you may notice that Audio has stopped working. This can be fixed in Terminal.

Code: 
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /


Note.

Trim is enabled by the configs in my fork. No need to use sudo trimforce in Terminal.


What works.

Native Power Management.
Full Graphics Acceleration with GTX760.
Sleep/Including Audio after sleep state.
3 Monitors using Nvidia GTX760.
Ethernet Intel & Atheros. But i choose to use Intel NIC.
iMessage and FaceTime. Although i didn't follow the iMessage guide.
USB 3 with full speed.

Beats 1 works but iTunes movies doesn't play due to DRM Protection can be fixed by using Shiki. https://github.com/vit9696/Shiki/releases

Link for iMessage fix https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-fix-imessage.110471/

Guide updated. Fork updated. Added Trim to KextToPatch instead of using sudo trimforce in Terminal. Updated Ethernet kext from AppleIntelE1000E to IntelMausiEthernet.kext.
 
I have a GA-Z87N-WIFI currently running el capitan. I have a custom DSDT (from someone else's H87N-WIFI build) and a piker alpha SSDT for power management. Everything seems to work except all USB ports seem to be 2.0 on System profiler and Amazon Prime Video won't play in HD (hollywood movies won't, amazon originals will) due to a DRM/HDCP error not fixed by Shiki (I dual boot win 10 on second SSD which has no issue with DRM/HDCP). Would I benefit from copying your list of SSDTs to my EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched folder or should I just leave it alone?

No. Patches in this guide are only for Series 9 motherboards. Series 8 uses different patches. You could move onto Clover Hotpatch with a set of SSDTs but probably won't make much difference with DRM.
 
Hello, I installed Toledas Clover Audio and now I have only one microphone that does not work (the microphone has never worked her this board).

How can I do?
