Henties Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Hi @all I just about completed the assembly of the following components for a new hackintosh: GA-Z790-D mobo i7-1200KF cpu 2 x 32 GiG Corsair Vengeance LPX memory Red Devil RX 6800 XT Gpu 1 x Samsung EVO 970 500GB NVMe 3 x Samsung EVO 860 SSD;s 2 x WD Black 2TB NVMe's 1 x Noctual NH-D14 air cooler with an adaptor plate for an Intel 1700 socket Apple Magic keyboard V.2 Logitech M705 Marathon mouse Logitech C370 Webcam The first initial startup - into Win 11 - is imminent, from where I will do the USB mapping for all the ports I actually require and deem essential. Note that, for obvious reasons, I deliberately steered away from the Raptor Lake CPU range. In order to successfully complete this hack I would appreciate some help and advice about the recommended bios, P-core, E-Core and hyper threading settings. If my memory serves me correctly @Miezeis actually running a hack with fairly similar hardware, it would be great if she would share some of her settings that work in her particular environment. Miau. On the ACPI side I plan not to rely on a modded all inclusive DSDT file but rather on individually tailored .aml files placed in the opencore ACPI folder. This measure should allow me more flexibility should it be required to change something further down the line. I am already running, quite successfully, 2 x GA-Z490-G mobos each with an Intel i9-10850K processor. I figure that the transition from a Comet Lake to an Alder Lake environment should not be too challenging. I am looking forward to any assistance or advice so that this new build can shortly be finalized and placed into service.
