How to Fix Custom PC in 2021 Hackintosh Compatibility
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Verify your network controller model (Intel, Broadcom, Realtek).
- Ensure the correct kext (e.g., AirportItlwm or BrcmPatchRAM) is loaded in your config.
- Clear network interfaces and reset NVRAM if changes don't apply.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.
Original Question:
Hi all,
First post here. Currently building a custom Pc as a mac user. Was really keen on getting a fully function hackintosh working, especially with most parts being relatively new.
Specs:
Case: IQUNIX ZX-1 Aluminum Mini-ITX Case
Motherboard: Z690 Mini ITX (12th Gen Intel Support + DCIP 4.0 + DDR5 RAM)
CPU: Intel 12th Gen Core i7-12700KF LGA 1700 Unlocked Desktop Processor
GPU: Leadtek Quadro P4000 8GB DGGR5 GPU (Checked works with High Sierra and nothing above)
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4
SSD: Samsung 980 PRO 1TB 3-bit MLC V-NAND M.2 (2280) NVMe SSD (PCIE 4.0) (Realised Samsung SSD are problematic and will change to a non samsung SSD)
PSU: Corsair 750W SF750 Platinum High Performance SFX Power Supply
CPU COOLER: NZXT Kraken X53 R1 240mm AIO
Main questions:
- Does Alder Lake CPUs on a Z690 motherboard work? (More specifically on High Sierra due to quadro p4000 GPU)
There are discussion on Alder Lake CPUs working on Hackintosh with some saying the E cores need to be disabled. Does this mean a hard wired disable where it would be disabled on the native windows or is this something done within the Hackintosh alone?
- The Z690 Mini ITX (12th Gen Intel Support + DCIP 4.0 + DDR5 RAM) has Intel WIFI 6E AX210 and Bluetooth 5.2
I guess it all comes down to whether these hardwares will work on High Sierra. Especially getting airdrop to work.
Any tips and comments appreciated !
