[Success] b1's "Mac Mini Killer" with macOS Mojave: i7-8700 | Gigabyte Z370N | RX560 | 16GB RAM

[inarush]

Updated to 0.6.1 + Kexts + Open Canopy GUI. Tested on Big Sur Public Beta (20A5354i) with F13 BIOS and SMBIOS 19,1. IGPU + GPU (rx 580 8gb).

@rrviega are you enjoying Big Sur so far? Have you experienced any issue? Is everything working good in your system (quicksync, icloud, Messages, AirDrop etc)?

There is not much to say, it is a beta system. It has its bugs, but it's normal. When the Golden Master version comes out I can draw more conclusions. But the experience has been good so far. Promising.

No DRM content is the only issue.

Thanks rrviega for the EFI, I just added my USB config and my SMBIOS... that's it...

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking forward for the release of Big Sur.

Just one more question though. What wireless/bluetooth device you have in your hackintosh? By any chance it's a Broadcom BCM94352Z?

I ask because this is the wireless device I have and I'm a bit worried that it won't be Big Sur-ready (based on some reports I've read), though it works like a charm under Catalina.

@rrviega
i have almost the identical set up as you do and I used your EFI semi-successfully. I updated the serial numbers etc and booted up fine. My issue is that I get random power offs. Sometimes it happens at the end of the boot, sometimes it happens as I log in and sometimes it happens while using my hackintosh.

Do i need to re-set the NVRAM after installing OC?

In that same topic, page 78, I put my BIOS settings. Are they the same as yours? Yes, it is recommended to reset the NVRAM. I've had problems because of that (installing Big Sur Public Beta only), but not of that nature.

I use the BCM94360CS2 card, plus the adapter, @inarush

Everything working as it should? thanks for the feedback.

I have a BCM94360CS2 with the adaptor in the motherboard WIFI slot, although I don't use it and I'm on Catalina, will give it some running and report you back.

Everything working as it should? thanks for the feedback.

running great no issue on OSX. Before moving to your EFI I used a config cooked by MaLd0n with a patched DSDT.aml, It was 100% stable too but I think it's more logical to move to a EFI cooked here as we are on the same boat.

Thanks for your OC EFI, I have been able to make it work for my system with DW1560 wifi/BT card with appropriate modifications. Now everything works including DRM for Netflix, Apple TV+ worked even in clover, in Amazon Prime at least it doesn't freeze the system but tries to play the video and some type of refresh is happening as if it is trying again to play the video.

One thing of interest, after cloning my drive when selecting the clone drive at boot time it didn't boot but when I booted again to my normal drive selected in System Preference the startup disk as my clone drive and rebooted and it booted from clone drive. Also the first time after switching from clover I had to give full disk access to bunch of softwares and allow some drivers.

But the journey of learning and switching was very interesting and satisfying, the OC installation guide is also very good.

@Rajkhand can you please detail how you made your DW1560 work? Are you still on Catalina or have you tried Big Sur?
What about fixing DRM, what was the magic?

@applefan85

While iMac19,2 SMBIOS works well consider switching to iMac18,1 for better CPU speedstepping thus cooler temperatures.

19,2 SMBIOS steps down to 1200/1600 MHz while 18,1 SMBIOS steps down to 800 MHz.

Just wondering: what about the fact that iMac18,1 doesn't come with a dedicated GPU?
Can this negatively affect a Hackintosh equipped with, say, a RX580?

@rrviega - thank you.

So having made the bios changes, it still conked out frequently. I then discovered I had 3000 MHz DDR4 DRAM memory, which i assume is causing all of this issue.

I am not so familiar with the bios settings, but is there anything I can do to fix this? I had f5 for about a year under clover no problems (!!!!). If you have any advice before I get new memory, that would be great..!
