I guess I'll get the PLUS GAMING WIFI anyway as the installation procedure shouldn't be much different than the PRO GAMING (is that true?) and not much more expensive...
It's gonna be my first hackintosh so actually I'm trying to get whatever components are easier to build a hackintosh with.
I've been 2 months reading this forum around, and I think its time I jump into it, though I'm kinda scared.
Thats exactly right (Pro V Gaming etc). Given they are both Z390 Asus Tuf series MB's there shouldn't much variance in the Bios.
Don't be scared, its kind of fun and you know two people who have it up and running - one of them is the Top guy on the site!
My advice when starting out and building this particular one is (to make it successful):
- Follow MacMan's instructions on this post exactly (and I mean exactly), and remember he is also referring to the standard install instructions which are here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ojave-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.259381/
- Upgrade to latest BIOS before starting the process.
- Do the Bios recommendations on the standard install, then do Macman's recommendations in his post before installing.
- I've put my BIOS recommendation in as well on top of this, as I'm running an AMD Vega 64 graphics card, where MacMan used the HD632 integrated graphics (no graphics card). These settings got rid of the jpg preview fail and are:
- BIOS: Enable IGPU, multi monitor support and PCIe as the selection for graphics.
- MultiBeast: set SMBIOS to 19,1
The only issue that slowed me down was merging the config files using the command MacMan gave for plistbuddy in terminal. To solve this I just made sure the files were in the same Clover directory, and made sure I navigated to this before running his command.
One last bit - after you've installed, use Clover Configurator to mount the EFI folder if you can't find them as that's where the config files are (just in case you're new to doing this - took me a while to figure it out on my first run!)
And good luck - post back here if you need some help. There are plenty of us here who won't mind!
