hackintosh

Hello, I'll guide you how to pick a correct hardware part for your new Hackintosh.

Motherboard:

  • Brand: ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte

    MSI: There is some problem with MSI & OsxAptioFixDrv, better to stay away from it.

  • Chipset: Intel only

    AMD: You may want to check this

  • Audio codec: Check out this list

  • Ethernet: Almost any ethernet controller are supported like:

    • Intel 82578 LC/DM/DC
    • Intel 82579 LM/V
    • Intel I217LM/V
    • Intel I218LM/V/LM2/V2/LM3
    • Intel I219V/LM/V2/LM2/LM3

    Other controllers: Some report says ASMedia Thunderbolt controller working with macOS too, but I'm not 100% sure about it

  • USB port: Use Intel controller to prevent sleep/wake problem

  • NVMe: native support since macOS 10.13

GPU/iGPU:

Mouse/keyboard:

Better to use Logitech or Apple input device to prevent sleep/wake problem, some keyboard from Corsair,... may prevent sleep on macOS
