[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

I used the antenna that came with the motherboard for blue tooth on the Fenvi. Works great.

Me too, now I can put my BT antenna on my desk for better range.

@CaseySJ
would the attached give any clues to my lack of sleep?

I know I had to set Proximity Wake to 0. this was waking up my system each time I walked by with my Watch or iPhone in my pocket. Powernap is showing 0 (so off) and that is good. However your system is showing a couple of different entries than mine. I'll need to look up.

In the time being in Hackintool you should be able to hit the little Wrench/Gear icon, and it will configure the Proximitywake and Hibernate to be ZERO (0) which will disable those for you.

Did that...thanks

@CaseySJ Just wanted to thank you again for this walkthrough--I backtracked and did a few steps again and now have a very fast, very capable machine for under 2k. I appreciate you!

This is an absolutely fantastic guide! Very impressive work, Casey!

I have ordered a Fenvi FV-T919 from China and a Radeon VII (while stock last!), so now I wait. Maybe want to see if Intel comes up with something surprisingly good with the Cascade Lake-X, but I don't expect it. X299 also seems to be waaay more tricky to Hackintosh. So I will probably soon order a Gigabyte Designare Z390 + i7-9900K. Will obviously install 10.14.6 on it.

Two questions for you and the rest of the community:
1): I'm thinking about doing all the tweaks manually as described in this great guide, or do you recommend that I use the attached files instead?
2) Any issues with the Radeon VII that I should be prepared to deal with?

BTW: I really had my heart set on the Mac Pro 2019, but that price man...

Thanks, so is it just delete the old ones and copy the new ones? I did that but I couldn't boot

no, it checks for new updates kexts and downloads them to your desktop

then:

I just started working on a video project today, and I can't open iMovie. I used GarageBand for the first time on this Hackintosh, and, after, I can't open iMovie. Suggestions?

I tried deleting the .plist for iMovie. Tried restarting. Also reinstalled iMovie.
