This one is chunkier but it looks cool...

I've done a build with the following case for a friend. It's very high quality but there's not much room internally to work with...

Does anybody have a good tip for a decent case for this build which is as small as possible, something Mac studio like or something that can be transported easily. I am planning to put all of my hdds in a Sabrant 5bay enclosure and have the hackintosh with my Radeon VII in a separate enclosure.

I use the NR200, which is a SFF ITX (and some MATX) case that takes almost any GPU. It’s $100-ish now on Amazon but commonly sells for $60.

Whew! Two weeks and nothing. Well, 13.2.1 update from yesterday works fine. .

EFI updated to OpenCore 0.8.9.

Yep, was just going to post that. You beat me!

OC89 working great here, in 10 mins of test.

Kext changes: WEG and AppleALC. (PC: Any reason not to add them to your EFI?)

Hi Pastrychef it's been a while i haven't updated my hack. Using a Z370i running Big Sur flawlessly for more than 2 years.

I'm considering upgrading to Ventura (I love it on my Macbook Air M1).

I have to admit i forgot many things about hackintoshes (even my forum account ) the last 2 years, but here is my EFI in big sur, in attachment.

Should I just copy/paste everything to the latest EFI version and boot with it, then upgrade to Ventura?

Thanks a lot Pastrychef ! Been using this build for years now with your magic file

The best thing to do is:
Download the latest EFI from post #1.
Replace the USBPorts.kext with the one from your EFI.
Copy/paste the Serial, Board Serial, UUID from your config.plist to the config.plist include with the new EFI.
Put the new EFI on the EFI partition of a USB flash drive and boot from it to make sure everything is working.
Update to Ventura.

Hello, I tried to update to Ventura and used your new Clover EFI, I know my specs aren't upgraded to your builds new upgrades but I switched to mac 18.3 and figured that would be all I needed to do. I noticed that the memory sections in clover were all greyed out when I tried to add the g skill memory to the smbios list. I also created a boot drive from this link. I had previously used the unibeast method I think. Thank you for the help!

I haven't used Clover in a long time... When switching back and forth between Clover and OpenCore, it was doing some weird stuff with my NVRAM...

Try using the latest OpenCore EFI from post #1.
