OpenCore EFI for a 100% stable Intel 10900k + Z490 Vision G + AMD 6900XT Hackintosh

macOS Monteray - Hackintosh

Latest working macOS: 12.0.1

Current OpenCore: 0.7.5

Complete hardware specs:

• CPU: Intel 10900k OC to 5.1GHz
  • Cooling: Noctua NH-D15 (with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490 Vision G
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
• WiFi/Bluetooth: Fenvi T919
• RAM: 64GB @ 3200 MHz DDR4
• NVME SSD:
  • 500GB Kingston A2000 NVMe PCIe SSD (macOS Partition)
  • 500GB Kingston A2000 NVMe PCIe SSD (Windows Partition)
• SATA SSD: 4TB Samsung Evo 860 SATA SSD (shared with Windows, formatted as exFAT)
• PC Case: NZXT H710 (important because front usb ports are mapped)

SMBIOS: iMac20,2

The system dual boots Windows 11

Tools

• OpenCore Auxiliary Tools - easy config.plist management
  • OpenCore Configurator - alternative for OCAT
• Hackintool - debug and map USB ports

Get it running

1. Make sure to update your BIOS, disable CSM support and enable XHCI Hand-off (for Airdrop/Continuity/Sidecar)
2. Create an macOS Big Sur/Monteray USB-Installer Stick, install OpenCore and copy my EFI folder (how?)
3. Generate a new serial number, motherboard id, ROM (that's your motherboard's mac address without dots) and SMUUID (make sure serial number is invalid in order to iMessage/Facetime to work) (how?)
4. Boot the new macOS partition

What works

• macOS Monteray (12.0.1) and Big Sur (11.6.1)
• WiFi and Bluetooth + Airdrop + Sidecar + Continuity (OOB via Fenvi T919)
• Audio
• HDMI/DP (Variable Refresh Rate if your Display is FreeSync 2 compatible)
• All USB ports
• Everything iCloud related (Drive, iMessage, Facetime, unlock with Apple Watch, etc)
• Intel Quick Sync (if you enable iGPU in BIOS)
• Temperature monitoring for everything except GPU (no GPU temp support in VirtualSMC for navi and big navi cards)
• Resizable Bar Support (enable Above 4G Decoding in BIOS)
• Shutdown/Reboot/Update to newer macOS builds over time

What doesn't work

I225-V 2.5Gbit Ethernet Adapter on Monteray (worked on Big Sur with a bootarg still present in the config.plist). I'm currently using a generic gigabit USB dongle until this gets fixed. Here and here are some interesting threads with people trying to make it play nice on Monteray.

Port mapping

All USB ports work except the two next to the ethernet port (HS03/SS03 and HS04/SS04). I needed another USBC port on the front of my case + a USB 3 port + USB 2 port so i had to disable those 2. If you don't need front IO (or use a different PC case) you can use USBInjectAll.kext, set XhciPortLimit = true and use Hackintool to map the ports you want. The USBC port on the motherboard works and it's reversible.

Fuck /r/Hackintosh mods for not allowing EFI sharing and being on power trips
