[@tomdellinger3710]

I bought almost the same components you use here and got it up and running yesterday. I'm a photographer and I play guitar a lot. For both of those activities I demand a bit from my computers and so far it seems this one is hitting the mark for me. I was concerned about underbuilding, but those concerns are dissipating. My old hackintosh had a 3rd gen i7 and here I'm at a 10th gen i3. For guitar, playing live into recording software, latency is always an issue, but so far my buffer size is surprisingly low. The one thing I missed in this build is bluetooth. I got the FenviT919, which set up wifi easily, bluetooth requires a connection to a USB 9 pin port on the board, but it's already in use( there's only one). I think my solution is going to be a dongle. I just want it so I can use my keyboard without hooking it up to USB. Thanks for the great video. On another note, my editor for my photography lives in Lisbon. I believe you're in Portugal, yes?

[@BartechTV]

I'm glad you found the video useful. macOS runs remarkably well even on lower end hardware like a Core i3. I also missed not having bluetooth, in a previous build I was using an Asus Bluetooth dongle which allowed me to connect an Apple magic keyboard and magic mouse. It's possible to get an internal USB hub, which plugs into the motherboard 9-pin USB header and gives you multiple 9-pin headers. For example the AC-IUSBH-M3 from NZXT or the CC-9310002-WW from Corsair. Yes, I moved to Portugal several years ago, I live in the north near Porto. It's a beautiful country.

[@tomdellinger3710]

I subscribe to Adobe for Photoshop and Lightroom and right now, I'm stuck with paying for a subscription that I can't upgrade anymore. This sounds like a perfect build and I've ordered parts today. The only difference I've made is 32GB's of RAM and the SSD is 512 GB's. Looking forward to an easy build and thank you very much for sharing this with us. All the details needed appear to be there.

Thanks for all your help. I was successfully able to run Ventura with i5-13600KF/B660M/RX 5700. The last thing I would like to do is transition from the USB and boot from the internal SDD. It seems possible according to sources out there, but I was curious to know how you approached it/ would approach it.

[@BartechTV]

You just need to copy the contents of the EFI partition from the USB to the EFI partition on your SSD, as shown at 11:12 in the video. Then you can remove the USB and boot straight from your SSD.

My 2020 MBP which costed like 1600 euros has only 8 gb of ram and it thoroughly pisses me off every day. Since I love mac OS though, I was about to buy a new machine for close to 3K euros. The thing is I also really like Windows and Linux. Being able to tri book MacOs, Windows and Arch would be a dream come true. Why hasn't I heard about this before. On top of that, I can save my MBP for when I actually need it.. traveling and whatnot. Thanks! I'll let you know how I get on.

Over priced? You can buy a M2 Mac Mini for $599 USD. There’s not many PC’s that can even touch that performance for less than a couple grand. MacBook Air M1 is $999 and M2 $1199. Apple is a bargain in some areas. And M2 can edit 4k videos flawlessly. Much better than this $300 Hakintosh.

bro chose a 600w psu for an i3

[@core36]

I started with 2 hackintosh and now I own a Mac mini, iPad and iPhone. It certainly was the cheapest way running macOS, because both pcs came right from the trash. The first one was thrown out by a company I had business with, they told me to just take it and the other one was laying in a trash bin. The first one was a bit involved, because the cpu and integrated gpu wasn’t supported and I had to get a dedicated gpu and a separate pcie usb3 card to get useful performance and io. The other one had a slightly newer cpu and worked out of the box with no configuration at all, even usb 3. As I didn’t have a Mac, I had to create my boot usb from windows. There is a script (gibmacos or something), but it forced me to use clover as the open core option was broken.

[@kenshinbattousai374]

You should also be able to go itx for a little more on the mobo, and slip the whole thing inside an inwin b1 mesh, or a gamemax violin. They come with a psu and are the same price as your case and psu, but small enough to put in a lunchbox.

What this really points out is that Apple’s profit margins are exorbitant. Thanks for sharing your build.

[@BartechTV]

Apple have by far the biggest profit margins in the industry. The average profit margin on a Windows PC is about 2.5%. Apple’s profit margin is about 43% - 17 times higher. If Apple were to sell their computers at the same profit margin as other computer manufacturers, an M2 Mac Mini would cost $349 instead of $599.

hello and thanks for the great video. I want to make a hackintosh now and I realized that the motherboard is no longer available. In your opinion, an MSI could always be fine but with the H610 chipset .. such as the H610M-E for example. I await your news, thanks again.

[@DennisWidehammar]

Does H610M-E work?

[@BartechTV]

Hi Marco, If you're using an H610 chipset motherboard, then you'll have a 12th or 13th gen CPU. The integrated UHD 7x0 graphics on 12th and 13th gen Intel CPU's aren't supported in macOS, so you need a dedicated graphics card. macOS Ventura and Sonoma support Polaris cards like the RX 560 / 570 / 580, Navi 5000 and 6000 cards like the RX 5600 XT, 5700 XT, 6600 XT, 6800 XT and 6900 XT. The cheapest GPU natively supported by Sonoma is the RX 460, which you can buy for 30 - 40 Euros used.

[@19MarcoZ70]

@@BartechTV thank you for your answer, you have been very clear. I was able to create a hackintosh like yours because luckily I had an ASUS motherboard with the 410 chipset. At this point, if I want to make others, I'd better look for motherboards with that chipset because it's much cheaper than implementing a video card. Thanks again.

[@kahaniguruhindi]

I have two questions. 1. What if I can't arrange an existing mac to create bootable mac drive and running commands? 2. If I get the latest generation chipset, ram, and an external GPU, will the steps be the accurate same? Or some changes in process.

[@BartechTV]

1. You can just use a PC. Download the MacOS install disk image from Apple and write it to your USB drive using Balena Etcher (www.balena.io/etcher) Mount the EFI partition using command line, by doing the following... - Open command prompt - type "diskpart" - type "list disk" and look for your USB drive - type "select disk x" (where x=your USB drive] - type "list partition" and look for your EFI partition - type "select partition x" (where x=your EFI partition) - type "assign letter = E:" - mounts the EFI partition on your PC and assigns it the drive letter E, so you can open it, and copy your EFI folder / edit the plist etc. The config.plist is just a text file, so you can edit it using any plist editor for Windows or in notepad. 2. On the Olarila site, download the right EFI for the CPU architecture you're using - ie. Comet Lake for 10th gen, Rocket Lake for 11th gen, Alder Lake for 12th or 13th gen. If your CPU is 11th, 12th or 13th gen then you need to use a fake CPU id, which the Olarila EFI will take care of. You'll still have to ascertain what audio chipset you have and use the right audio layout. You can see a list of supported codecs and the layout id to use at github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs. Determine which Ethernet controller your motherboard has and delete whatever kexts you don't need from the kexts folder and from the config.plist. Don't get an eGPU if you're making a hackintosh. Just plug the GPU directly into a PCIe X16 slot on the motherboard. MacOS Ventura has drivers for RX 560, RX 570, RX 5700 XT, RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, RX 6800 XT, RX 6900 XT so they'll work out of the box. Just make sure you have Lilu and Whatevergreen kexts up to date.

Amazing video Thank you

[@banzie74]

Glad that someone did an entry-level, economical Hackintosh build. I think this baremetal is better than any of the ProxmoxVE based builds. Does this setup have audio fully working i.e. for both audio-input and audio-output ? I wanted a Hackintosh only for Garageband, and the past experience with virtualized Hackintosh didn't permit that. Oh and one more question, do you think that this method might work with a slightly older i5-8400 (which has only 6 cores and 6 threads), which has the same IGP (UDH630) ? I have it on a MSI H310M PRO-VDH motherboard with 16GB 2400MHz RAM, and a SATA SSD of 240GB. Would this require some changes in the OpenCore Configurator stage ?

[@18rocksthegames78]

Couldn’t tell you how it would change the install process but those specs would work relatively the same

Yeah the Mac Mini was €499 here in Europe for years. It was a perfect price point for attracting new users to switch from Windows. At €729 the M2 is still a good price, but at €499 they would sell millions more, and increase macOS market share.

[@a_9408]

What do you think about the Mac Pro (2013) as a alternative? It’s getting cheaper (like $275 on USA marketplace) and it’s upgradable parts like ram and SSD. Unfortunately not gpu upgradeable… but I guess building a hackintosh has it benefits like upgradeable gpu and ddr4 ram slots!

[@BartechTV]

I loved the design of the 2013 Mac Pro, but the problem is that to run Ventura you have to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher, and even then, there's no CPU power management and no DRM support. When you add in the need for ECC RAM, the Apple-specific SSD interface, and the inability to use standard graphics cards, I think for the money a hackintosh is a better choice.

hey! usually the difference is cores and threads. Check your programs and see if they benefit from more cores and threads (usually professional programs do such as video editing, adobe apps etc) however, the price to performance increase may not be worth it so i encourage you to look into it a little bit. Also, if you’re thinking of going up to i7 but down a generation (i.e. 7700k), i don’t recommend it.

I replaced motherboard with Gigabytye H410M S2H V2 and case with Montech Air 100 Lite, as these are easier to find. I also added Fenvi T919 WIFI and Bluetooth card, making the total £250.

[@DennisWidehammar]

Everything else the same as the video? Can't find the MSI motherboard so I was thinking of trying your way :D

[@davidsweet4089]

@@DennisWidehammar I already had that power supply, but it is the motherboard that is the biggest change.

I got the same card as you with an i5 10400 and got a black screen after the restart... Any idea ?

[@Ikizo_735]

Hey loved the build and detailed guide here planning for the similar build for a Hackintosh. Wanted to know if the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are working as well

[@BartechTV]

This motherboard has no Bluetooth or WiFi, only Ethernet, which works. You can add a PCIe BT/WiFi board like the Fenvi T919 or a BCM94360CD from a real Mac with a PCIe adapter to get native WiFi and Bluetooth with full handoff / continuity support.

@@BartechTV I don't have the pc build but I followed all the steps and I was able to get the Hackintosh to work. However I don't have an option for wifi even though my laptop has a wireless wifi receiver. What should I do? I don't want to use ethernet. Thanks for the guide though, would not have been able to get Hackintosh without you. also im not sure if it makes any difference but when I was choosing the model of the Mac I noticed it said 3ghz cpu when my cpu is 1.6 ghz. not sure if that's a problem also my trackpad isn't working for some reason (they keyboard is)

3:25 Random 4k @ 469MB write and 57MB read? I don't know, something seems wrong with that test. My Sabrent Rocket Q (gen 3) can only do 154MB write. Outside of Intel Optane, I've never seen speeds that high.

[@BartechTV]

True. Looking at the Amorphous DiskMark FAQ, it mentions that users may see inconsistent 4K random write speeds due to the 5 second time limit on that test. "The five-second measurement duration time limit was added to ADM2.5 in order to avoid the impractically lengthy 4K read/write measurement time (many minutes and hours) on inherently slow hard drives, to avoid unnecessary writes on SSDs, and to be consistent with CrystalDiskMark, you may get different or inconsistent random 4K write speed results. The random 4K write result could be faster, slower, or about the same with the five-second limit. I suspect that this is due to how the write cache on the SSD device itself behaves."

adding $300 for monitor and $100c for m+key+audio = 650-700 usd . But now in you can buy Air m1 for 730Euro/840$ and enjoy power/portability

[@lensboi1229]

but you can dual boot this to windows and you can upgrade it to a even more powerful CPU, GPU and add more RAM like a Mac Studio

Hey, great video! Would a Intel Core i5-10400F work? Is it better than the i5-10400?

[@BartechTV]

The 10400f has no iGPU, so you'll need a graphics card. The 10400 will work just like the i3-10105 in this video, but about 15% faster multicore performance.

[@digitalranger4259]

Great video. This is great for someone with some parts lying around that want to get Mac experience cheap. Would upgrading to 32gb of RAM and or an i6 or i7 processor necessitate other steps?

[@BartechTV]

Thanks. Upgrading the CPU or RAM wouldn’t require anything else to be done.

[@JuggernOtt81]

one thing I don't get is how one determines which kexts one will or won't need. please explain. thanks.

[@BartechTV]

VirtualSMC.kext - required for the hackintosh to boot. AppleALC.kext - required for audio. WhateverGreen.kext - required for graphics. Lilu.kext - required for the above kexts to work since they're Lilu plugins. As for the rest, you need to look at what hardware is on your motherboard to decide which kexts you need and which you don't. For example, my motherboard has Intel ethernet, so I don't need the two Realtek ethernet kexts nor the Atheros ethernet kexts, so I delete them. I have no WiFi or Bluetooth, so I delete AirportBrxmFixup. I leave IntelMausi.kext since I have Intel ethernet.

[@JuggernOtt81]

@@BartechTV thanks! that makes sense. i've been googling around and every article i found, just says google more. 🙄 is there some consolidated list of kexts that explain what names go with what hardware?

[@BartechTV]

If you have a read of dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ktext.html#kexts it does a decent job of explaining which kexts do what.

every time I look at the nox hummer zero, it's sold out... been sold out/out of stock for 2 years now, and on top of that the price tag is always around 100! where'd you get it, amazon?

[@BartechTV]

I got it from PCDiga last year, but it's out of stock there now. It's still in stock at Exiscom for €39,80 - www.exiscom.pt/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&product_id=7106 It's been discontinued by Nox (www.nox-xtreme.com/en/chassis/hummer-zero) so that's why it's mostly out of stock everywhere now. It's a really nice case, it's a shame they discontinued it.

Guessing that hackintosh' days are numbered once the support for intel macs stops

[@chowhar]

You never know what cleverness they will figure to make it work or maybe PCs will be ARM by then. But certainly used m1 macs will be cheap by that time too.
