Hackintosh Checklist - What Am I Missing?

The thing about a hack is that you can get it running with just a few settings/kext and honestly could leave it that way for a long time and never be effected. On the other hand I like to obsess over all the small details and I can't tell where the finish line is. Here's what I've done.

  1. All Kext are in L/E and FakeSMC has a duplicate in other. Boot arg- is set to dev so if anything goes awry I can still get in.
  2. USB ports are mapped.
  3. Thunderbolt 3 card and it’s USB 3 port work and hot swapping.
  4. RX 580 works.
  5. According to VideoProc HEVC is working. H264 is not.
  6. According to Mac X Video “Hardware Encoding” is enable. So iGPU is running correctly? I sense my SMBIOS being set to Mac mini 8,1 is the suspect if not.
  7. Audio working though HDMI doesn’t show up. I suspect it’s because I don’t have audio on my monitor. Digital Output shows up.
  8. UAD Apollo works perfectly.
  9. NVME’s work.
  10. Voltage offset set to 0.070. Cinebench no longer causes throttle.
  11. Wifi/BT work.

Hardware:

Asus Prime z370a

32gb Adata 2933 RAM

250gb Samsung M.2 PM961 NVME (OS)

1tb Intel M.2 660 (Session Drive)

Intel i7 8700

Radeon RX580

UAD PCIe Duo Card

A1419 Wifi/BT Card w/ PCIe adapter.

So the question is: what am I missing?
