@CaseySJ,
I would like to thank you and all the people who are actively contributing in that thread.
After a long break (20 years), I have build a new PC last weekend. (z390 Designare ,i9-9900K, iGPU, Broadcom Wifi&Bt with PCIe x1 adapter, RX 580 just arrived, to be installed.)
After a day of reading different resources available online, I have decide to go with OpenCore.
To make bootable USB I have followed
https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore.../mac-install.html#downloading-macos-modern-os
I made an installer for Catalina.
Then I used your guide
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...olt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.267551/post-2189297
and EFI folders on that post.
Since, I have not installed the RX 580 yet, I have used iGPU branch of config.plist.
I used
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...olt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.267551/post-2190308
for creating the SMBIOS data. (Thanks
@Inqnuam)
The system was booted without any problem.
After a couple of minute of hesitation I logged in to my icloud account. Then, updated to BigSur via AppStore. ( A couple of boots and BigSur works.)
I would suggest anyone with same motherboard to read
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...olt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.267551/post-1873593
regardless of the bootloader that you are using. This guide gives crucial information on the Hackintosh that you are building. I am stressing on that issue, since I build OpenCore, and that guide is about Clover it was also my first impression that it is not relevant for me. (so wrong)
After slowing down RAM to normal speed (to correct sleep/wake problems), all the functions that I use works quite fine and stable.
After that long summary, I have a couple of question
@CaseySJ ;
I have an Apple folder on my EFI boot section. (It has im191.fd as only file ) Is this normal ? Should I worry ? ( is that because I have updated from AppStore)
Can I use the same SMBIOS data on both iGPU and AMD config.plist ? ( I know that there are a couple of changes in config.plist, the major one I have noticed are Platform ID, video buffer addresses and command line args differences.) Since I have already logged in to icloud with existing SMBIOS data, I don't want to change when I install RX 580.
Best
