herve008 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Many thanks for sharing this guide. Everithing work perfectly for me with almost the same config. My only problem (but not sure it is) is that when I click on Hardware info, I have the following Mac mini (2018) Processor 3,6 GhZ Unknown My processor is an i7 9700K. Thanks for your help and advice. Again thx for this amzing tutorial Herve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx tbh i'm not sure as I don't have the i7 9700K, I tried a quick test and changed to iMac 19,1 SMBIOS but on boot got an unsupported macOS error, use previous EFI from guide and you can easily provide the missing CPU info.

peanutman314 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Thank you very much for this guide. Without knowing about your guide I bought the same motherboard and similar other hardware. I was expecting to have to do a few days of trial and error. Instead I found this awesome guide where most of the research has already been done. I love how your guide is so detailed and that you bundled up the necessary files for us. Thanks, very much appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herve008 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hello I discovered an issue when Hackintosh go in sleep mode. Everithing is OK, but impossible to reactivate by using mouse or Keyboard, I have to press the On/Off button and then it wake up, but afterwards I have issue with the wifi which is very slow / doesn't work properly. Any idea ? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea ? Thx Check BIOS for Z390 Aorus Pro is version F5 and use DSDT-F5-2ndApril.zip if BIOS version is later than F5 then ask @MaLd0n for DSDT for your BIOS version.

You will then find the extracted DSDT files inside Clover / ACPI / origin folder . Ask MaLd0n if he already has a DSDT for Aorus Pro Z390 with BIOS version F8.

Hifi33 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Followed the guide with very similar hardware, and it works just as I had hoped. I am having a sleep issue though unfortunately. (My firmware is v9 for the Z390 AORUS pro) I am wondering why the wake up occurs seconds after going to sleep. My suspicion is that it might be the USB connection of the h100i pro rgb that is cooling my 9700k keeping the computer awake. Perhaps I have my h100i USB wired to the wrong USB motherboard port or maybe the h100i aio be set to pwm in the bios instead of auto. I didn’t switch mine as stated in the guide as it wasn’t exactly the same model as in this build. Everything else works a treat though, thank you for the guide!

Hi, sorted this yesterday by using Rehabman's SSDT-GPRW, find and replace hotpatch to avoid instant wake. Works by replacing _PRW method for all devices in ACPI. It is now implemented in the latest >> Aorus Pro Z390 EFI with NO DSDT New.zip . (resume from sleep by pressing the power button. ) Go with PWM in BIOS for h100i, and attach h100i USB header to F_USB1 (HS11) Rehabman's hot-patching fix below for instant wake, as I already mentioned it is already implemented in Aorus Pro Z390 EFI. Thanks Edited April 17, 2019 by glasgood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hifi33 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 My issue has been fixed, sleep without an instant wake. Many thanks for the help resolving this to glasgood and MaLd0n. Originally, I was a bit concerned if everything would work out, selling my old cMP, buying parts, building my first pc, and installing the OS, but I jumped in with both feet and glad I did! My hat's off to you. Once my PCIe wifi/bluetooth adapter arrives this build will be complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppohio Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hey! I am using pretty much the same hardware, and my system is running well except for a few nagging issues (hanging on reboot, color static when bringing my main display back from sleep). I was looking over your config.plist and was hoping you could explain why you fill out all the information in the DEVICES->Arbitrary section. I haven't seen that before and was curious what it does/ if it is necessary. And if I have the same motherboard, can I populate the same values? Thanks for all the thorough work on the guide, these are so useful for not only getting systems up and running but actually understanding how things work underneath the hood.

If you have same motherboard you should be able to use most of the values, see updated guide for more information. OPTIONAL: System Information - PCI Best!

Hifi33 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Final part arrived for my build. Received the Broadcom BCM94360CD wifi/bluetooth (4 antennae version) and installed the card on PCIEX1_3 and wired to the Front panel USB header F_USB2 on the Z390 Aorus Pro board, and so far, so good with bluetooth on this setup. Handoff, Airdrop, Personal Hotspot is all connecting. Very painless. Paired a genuine wireless keyboard easily. Adjusted the System Information - PCI and this card is displayed properly in system information. Sleep working. One little issue regarding Wifi where although the connection *I think* is pretty solid, (Wireless 802.11ac the Tx rate is around 468mbps, rssi: -61dBm noise: -78 dBm, mcs: 5 two rooms over.) the traffic slows to a crawl on my gigabit internet connection. While still showing full bars on the wifi icon. Not a huge deal as I will likely be on wired ethernet once I move my setup back into the office.

Try temporary removing the network entries from System Information PCI and see if it persist, Good to know everything else is satisfactory! Will look into this soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer applicable, fixed itself..(*Just noticed in the sys info pane under Network : Wifi : interfaces, the country code shows X0. Not sure if that effects anything, but I think it should be CA for my locale.*) Edited April 21, 2019 by Hifi33 X0 changed back to CA when I logged back in, no issue there.

I noticed that Country Code was set US on the test drive, as far as I was aware it should be GB or DE. As far as I know, AirportBrcmFixup.kext for my Wi-Fi card defaults to US, so I found the way to change country code. I updated guide with instructions on this.

larabee Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Amazing guide. Thank you so much for this fool-proof guide. After getting a real Mac (iMac 2017) to use for a while, I finally want to get back to Hackintosh world and here it is. perfectly working Hackintosh with full hardware acceleration and everything works as it should. My Config: Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X Intel Core i7 8700K Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 NVMe SSDs I've used the VGTab to adjust the fan curve and voltage of the Vega 56 (the kext is attached in this post) then use clover to include the soft power table to the config.plist. My Max voltage is set at 1050mv (under voting by 150mv from default) Ran Unigine for 4 hours and the max temperature is at my target 73C. The fan is barely audible at under 2000 rpm. I have a bit of coil whine but I handled it by placing some cork board between me and my case. VegaTab_56.kext.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used your pre-installation EFI as both my Pre and Post installation. I don't need to do anything with SSDT for my USB to work because my board is within the USB limit of Mac OS. Besides, the USB patch from config.plist already unlocked the USB 3 ports. Everything went as smoothly as it should on a real Mac. I'm still tweaking the voltage of my Vega 56 to make it runs a bit cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
