Hello,
I installed the application "Clover" (Clover EFI Bootloader r4961) but I see no icon "Clover" in the folder "Applications"?
Can you help me please thank you.

As correctly answered by itwas , CLOVER is an EFI Bootloader and when you install it after downloading whatever version you got from the Internet Site, it will reside inside the Hidden EFI Partition of the disk.
I am assuming, you want to find out what version of CLOVER you have actually installed.
Using a couple of ways you can find that out.

• During boot, through Clover Boot Manager (CBM) Screen
• After boot to the Desktop using Clover Configurator Global ->Clover Configurator (Global Edition) | mackie100 projectshttps://mackie100projects.altervista.org › download › ccg

To find your Installed CLOVER version during boot:

• Boot to CBM screen
• Find the i icon which is "About Clover" and click [See image]
• Read your Clover Version Number [See image]

To find the CLOVER version currently on your SSD's EFI :

• Launch CCG
• From its Left Panel Click on Install/Update Clover and find the Installed version [See the numbered steps to find the installed version from the image]

Thank you and good evening.

I have posted the link to get CCG in bullet Number 2 at #14
Download from that link and launch CCG to open the image on the screen shot #3.
Or just click the link "Download" below.
Download

Since I was not quite sure of what is meant by Home page of CCG on my uploaded image, I have added two more images to show Home page on CCG to find Clover and c config.plist to be opened.
After launching the CCG , click on Mount EFI and click Mount Partition to the Right of your macOS SSD's EFI
Then from the bottom left panel locate the "Home" icon and click open and it will show EFI>EFI>CLOVER>config.plist[See uploaded images]

If the System boots OK and the Graphics card (s) works, then the chosen iMac Version is appropriate.
In case there is a boot issue or Graphics issue for Z300 series with i7 8700, iMac19,2 could be a good choice.
Many have already tried different versions of SMBIOS Mac Model and might have found one that is most free of problems for the chosen hardware. If you can find that from published reliable posts, choose that.
I don't think, for Hackintosh, this choice has any solid science behind it. It is mainly trial and error method and most probable good match at the end of such trials.

Hello @cmn699,
At home with the iMac 19.6 version it works very well.
Except that the Graphic: Intel HD Graphics 530 (MSI), I have no possibility of resolution!
Have a good day.
