New iMacs Now Available With 9th Gen Intel Core CPUs

[KAMIKAZEUA]

So, there is no way for my CPU to be identified correctly so far? If Apple if apple didn't used it at all.

Hi, update Clover Configurator

View attachment 398638

Selected in SMBIOS section to iMac, 19,1 and next copy your Serial number and your smUUID from actual system

View attachment 398639

In Boot section insert: -no_compact_check

View attachment 398637

In section Install/Update Clover to last revision and reboot. Good luck....

(My EFI and Extensions files are to GA-Z370N WIFI)

Just had problems with this, and realised I’d copied and pasted your typo - “compact” instead of “compat”.

Once I typed it correctly, everything’s working perfectly. Thanks for the guide.

Going to build a hack with a Gigabyte Aorus z390 Pro and i5-9600k. Hoping to use the IGPU. Will the special build of macOS 10.14.4 support the 9600k's UHD630 OOB? Also, anybody having issues with any of the 19.x smbios? I know 18.1 and 18.3 caused flickering and other minor glitches for some.
Finally, if I run my current hack with SMBIOS 19:1 (disabling compatibility checks) and download macOS from app store, will it download the special build for 19.x? Has anyone tried this aproach?

is there a version of the new iMac that uses just the 630? You might have to spoof your CPU and use an older SM.

Edit:

Yes I did that approach and downloaded the new build from the App Store.

There is a new iMac 19.X that uses the 9600k and the IGPU. I believe that the IGPU id is 3E928086 or 3E988086.

After further research it does not appear that there is a iMac 19,x I9 that uses the IGPU without a DPU. There is however a version of the 19,2 that uses the IGPU but calls it irs 640 not 30. In addition that version of 19,2 comes pretty much as is with little to no customization options.

There’s no problem using only the IGPU without the DGPU. The HW encoding/decoding will be done with the IGPU, also he said i5 9600K CPU. Check every mac for info.
The i5 9600k is using the intel uhd 630 -> https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...-9600k-processor-9m-cache-up-to-4-60-ghz.html.

My advice is OK for the build, it’s compatible using iMac 19.X Smbios.
