Hi luup96. Did you managed to get your ASRock Hackintosh working? I'm considering the exact same setup as you.

Not yet... I can't figure out how to set my port limit patch correct...

@luup96 did you manage to figure it out? Did you get it working? Actually, I believe what's happening is that you have your USB install media plugged into a non-Intel controller. If you got it working, could you share what you did as I'm about to build one with this board. Did TB3 work for you?

Hi @hoeman

I managed to boot

install with unibeast 8.1.0 (8.2.0 will cause an install error)

Audio working with: ALC1220 kext + VodooHDA v2 9.0d10

Wifi/Bluetooth NOT working: I need to install hardware, BCM94360CD

My Intel HD630 Graphics is flickering/Glitchy, but I thinks thats a global issue. I'm working on it

I haven't testet THB3 jet! I'll let you know when I have tested it.

I'll post the build when it is complete
step by step

Hey @luup96, does 'I managed to boot' mean you were able to install High Sierra successfully or does it mean you can get into boot mode?

@burkl12, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard (Mobo), CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know what he means? Thanks
