At this point, with intel cpus it's pretty much the same. All motherboards are pretty similar with about 2 options for eth, usb, and sound. If any of those you cannot get working, just get a 20 bucks USB sound/pcie usb card/eth card. Stick with amd graphics and you're gold.

For the Wi-Fi, you need an Apple made WiFi card with M2 adapter or something from Broadcom (I forgot the exact model). You can find online about which WiFi cards are good out of the box

[@dylanneff8338]

I just want to get this out to the public. I recently bought a Radeon VII and had absolutely terrible bsod constantly and screens would go black and it was just very annoying. I thought I had a bad card because my Vega 56 didn’t do that. After a lot of tinkering, I realized I had one connector from my modular 1250 watt psu that splits off into 2 8 pins. There was not enough volts (I think, could be amps) coming from that rail, so I needed to hook up another cable to a different rail. Now it works perfectly. Hits about 1900mhz out of the box and tjunction hits about 100. It’s a great card.

[@twistedoracle4555]

A great video. Would love to see more, just want to see the performance of that system in some productivity programs.

[@AbdelhakEssbai]

How just how you're videos are crisper using only a Sony a6300 vs other KZbinrs with red cameras. Share with us your secret sauce man, especially your export settings and how you combat KZbin heavy compression.

[@EdU-od5ec]

one of the tricks is the use a much higher bitrate than KZbins. So when YT compresses/ converts the upload, image quality remains almost identical to the original. Only down side is that your original source files will be large. Red cameras etc are completely overkill, especially if you are using Premier pro.

[@TienHuynh5312]

Just a headup for hackintoshers who wanted native wifi+bluetooth solution: buy Fenvi FV-HB1200 (on sale $30) on newegg. It works (continuity/airdrop) right out of the box for me on Mojave 10.14.5

[@hi_sayri]

Can this card fit in an ITX build? ITX boards usually only have space for one PCIE slot, usually for the graphics card, right? I think that's the only thing that's preventing me from going for a smaller form factor build.. the lack of a possible wifi/bluetooth/airdrop solution..

[@TienHuynh5312]

You need anothee pcie x1 or above to plug this one in, and one usb 2.0 header for bluetooth

[@influenist]

Seriously a PCIe slot on MINI itx is used for GPU. An A+B key card enough. Take a DW1560, works with 3 kext: AirportBrcmFixup.kext + BrcmFirmwareData.kext + BrcmPatchRAM2.kext

[@satellitemx]

Overall good video 👍 Few points I'd like to clarify. 1. Wi-Fi / BT card is Intel 8265 chip, which is not compatible under macOS and there isn't third party drivers for Intel-based wireless cards. This card is installed onto NGFF E key 1x connector and can be swapped with a Broadcom based cards. 94360 series cards are highly recommended and you can get many of them. However, cards taken from real Macs with adaptor card are a better choice. 2. Motherboards nowadays won't have many issues in terms of compatibility with macOS. Just stick with the 4 major brands and you'll be fine. Personally I've done perfect Hackintoshes (including USB power, USB port mgmt, CPU/iGPU/dGPU native power mgmt, etc., if available) on ASROCK, ASUS and MSI boards, including AMD boards. 3. In this video you are using iMac18,1 SMBIOS, which has no dGPU. Apple configures Macs according to their hardware components and such information is hard-coded into AppleGVA private framework. In order to make hardware encode/decode working properly, use iMac19,1 SMBIOS, set dGPU first in BIOS, enable iGPU (often called multiple monitor support), allocate 64 - 128mb for iGPU and set headless framebuffer id for iGPU in clover configuration. Generally speaking, without tweaking, certain amount of features won't work on macOS. Here are some good resources to make a golden build.

I currently have a Mini-ITX build with the Asus Rog Strix Z390i which I've read is essentially 100% compatible with MacOS. I love that you've taken the time to give us some simple benchmarks with the Radeon VII.

Fantastic video as always! I’d really love to see a full custom cooling loop with dual rads (possibly using an ultra slim rad like the TX240 from XSPC). Would something like that be on the cards for Ryzen 3?

It's been done before. You can have a GTS240 on the bottom with ultra slim fans and the normal 240 rad in it's normal spot. You can then put on GPU/CPU/RAM/Monoblocks (whatever you need to cool) and use EK's 60mm pump/res combo. You have to use Hardline basically, but if you look around, it has been done.

@@BlasterDavo pcpartpicker.com/b/QK29TW uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/7YdXsY There two builds using different parts just to name a few. There are plenty more, but those two are good. I believe you can still fit the 12X15's.. not too sure though. Also you could look into having just a 240mm rad that is ultra high FPI (50+). Or you could go the 92mm rad + 240mm rad route and run a Mini-DTX motherboard for Ryzen 3000.
