Comments

I built this PC-Setup with no Hackintosh in my mind about 3 years ago, but then I realized that I really wanted to enjoy the macOS experience that I could already enjoy on my Macbook Air. I started to do my research on the topic and heavily relied on the tonymacx86 guides and the forum. The first attempts where all more or less successful, but I didn't really know what I was doing - everything was new to me and I never heard of kexts, dsdts and bootloaders before. In between I switched back to Win10 because my build always had flaws that ruined the user experience for me.

Now this was my 3rd attempt to have a fully working system and finally it worked, also due to new possibilities regarding my graphics card. The graphic card worked OOB box but also had the AMD Sleep/Wake issue, that I fixed with the whatevergreen.kext. LAN and Audio works fine after using Multibeast (ALC 1150 and Atheros Killer™ E2200 Series). Use iMessage fix asap after MacOS installation, so you wont need to delete certain files and it works way faster. Now I have a stable running Hackintosh build that has full functionality except Handoff/Continuity Features, because I didn't install a suitable PCI-E card.

Installation Notes
Will be added later on!
