MacMan's Build: ASUS TUF Z390-PRO GAMING - i9-9900K - Vega 64 - Updated for 10.14.6 and NVRAM Support

[glofter1]

Are you using an i9-9900KF? If yes, try using iMacPro1,1 system definition.

iMac18,x and iMac19,x expects IGPU to be available and things will not work right if you don't have IGPU.

right but 19,1 use 9900FK... and this CPU hasn't IGPU. SO in fact I thing I can use 19.1 without IGPU Enable.

As far as I know, real iMac19,1 use 9900K.

Don't know, you can try...
Using -no_compat_check is necessary if you run a version that does not support it. Using 19,1 in that case is like using 37,9 (or something else made up - BenMac99,23?), it's not recognized either way, AFAIK.
I'd generally avoid it, and use a supported SMBIOS/update to the special build, but @pastrychef said he's having no issues

Thanks for you reply....this is my first Hackintosh attempt and I'm still learning/failing. I still need to work on learning Clover a bit....my first error was SSDT AR NOT FOUND.... Going to pick back up today and start from scratch..thanks again!

Thanks McMan. I have the same motherboard. My processor is i7-9700K. Installation went well. And I used the MutiBeast to install drivers. I installed the same as you installed. (I followed your print screen image.) When I restarted, Apple logo came in, and, when the progression bar was almost 75%, display gone. Can you please help me on this. Thank you so much for all these help.

I remember seeing this and can't remember how I fixed it. I think I had to switch from using a DP to DVI adapter to a HDMI cable.

 

[macjub]

Thanks McMan for the reply. I tried HDMI to HDMI and DVI to DP. Both had same result. My monitor has DVI, HDMI, VGA and Motherboard have HDMI & DP. I am bit confused now. Which cable to buy and at the same time I just see some posts here

DVI to HDMI converter

So I've had the HDMI working before on 10.6 with a DVI to HDMI converter. After installing 10.7, I tried rebooting with the converter plugged in. I can see my bios along with my apple boot screen on the screen. But after the boot logo it goes black when I should be abled to type in my password...

What happened to "rebuild cache" and "repair permissions" In Multibeast?

I missed something- where did these go? No "utilities" anymore? I have not built a hackintosh for some time so I missed the boat, what do you do now to achieve these functions?

And Thank you for all the genius work you do here. No words

I've update my guide to include information on how to fix system hang during boot when using latest UEFI version under BIOS section.

Thanks MacMan. I will check that. Currently, I have RTX 2060, and I know It is not supported by Apple. So I am planning to buy RX580. My built will be TUF Z390-Pro Gaming + i7 9700K + RX 580. As I am new to this world, I just wanted to know whether it is worth buying RX580. Is there anyone successfully hackinthoshed with this build. And, again, THANK YOU for all the support. I might have reached this far without this genius group. Thanks
