Nice! I didn't realize you can make a Ventura Hackintosh using an "out of support" CPU, and even get the thing to use its iGPU. Another excellent Hackintosh video!! Definitely looking forward to your next upgrade video for this system.

[@eazy_black]

@myburn even my core 2 quad can run ventura from 2008 Dgpu needed tho

[@TheRealNeoFrancois]

@@eazy_black yeah,it's because the igpus where on the motherboard and alot of them where straight up garbage

[@pkf4124]

Supplied so many of those Fujitsu desktops., back when they were new. The hardware is rock solid. We had very few failures compared to other well known corporate brands. I have one of the older versions of this pc so am tempted to see if it can also be a respectable Hackintosh.

[@Canleaf08]

Sadly, Fujitsu announced the end of production of workstations and PCs.

[@pkf4124]

The good news it’s not till April 24. Better news is there will be plenty of these desktops sold off when corps jump ship when they end of life current deployed units.

[@_psv__]

Lets not mention their server range.. I've never seen one, but from what I do hear, firmware updates were roulette.

[@pkf4124]

Servers are rock solid, in 7 years only ever had 1 doa which was a daughter card failure , not even a Fujitsu pert, and two that failed in the first year of the 3 year warranty. As I had all, the Fujitsu type training so was certified to do my own repairs, they just sent the parts on a 4 hour replacement, all machines back up and running before the end of the day. Where I work now we use Dell and HP, there are 5 Fujitsu servers in the Data centre, that never go wrong, with the exception of the EMC kit neither Dell or HP ever manage to get same day fix, so we rely on the failover for each server. Their desktop and laptop repair is woeful, they seem to rely on re-certified parts that are often just broken in an other area. Agreed Fujitsu server firmware updates could be a little sparse but they seemed to update when it was important enough, not just because they changed the logo for the start screen . HP. Bonus with Fujitsu servers anything from 2010 onwards seems fine funning windows 8 onwards, so can be used as desktops. I use one for compiling its a brute force thing with 128gb of ram and 16 cores, cost me nothing as it was going to be scrapped.

Even in the UK you can pick up a similar spec machine for next to nothing. It doesn't have to be this specific model. These Fujitsu PC's just happen to be more common in Germany since that's where Fujitsu manufactured them. In the UK you can pick up an old Dell, Lenovo or HP office PC with the same or similar CPU for under 25 quid. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155756661820 - Sold for £9.99 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266396196411 - Sold for £19.99 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155749817383 - Sold for £15 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145264243101 - Sold for £22 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115898028379 - Sold for £16 for 5 PC's - so that's just over 3 quid each.

[@paulhorn24]

Which former Windows PC would be good basis for a Hackintosh for Video editing only? I guess a very, very good graphic card is needed and a new SSD and the RAM modules need to be upgraded as much as possible. Much RAM is always good regardless if Windows, Linux or macOS. With older hardware, RAM upgrades were the best buck for the money. As for older Apple Hardware, it is almost always possible to upgrade the RAM to much more than Apple specified at the time this hardware was new and sold in the shops. Ian Page is doing a terrific job with his Mactracker App (for iOS, for Mac (either at the Mac App Store or as a free download at the Mactracker website) to list all available information about every Apple product ever build / sold. And of course you find there how much RAM you can install in your old Mac.

[@slashparty]

with the amount of money you'd be spending just building a hackintosh, i can guarantee you a m1 mac mini or an m1 macbook would be able to give you equal if not better performance. arm macs are really the way these days. hackintosh will die out soon. at least props to apple for making their macs more affordable and usable.

relatively high power consumption though.. mac mini 2012s use around 14W at idle / sleep and 27W in use - that's the reason I personally cannot justify a mac / hack desktop - the new silicons are even more efficient; for a senior or school kid okay. Now hack laptops are a different matter - I love my lenovo hackbook pro !

[@graxxor]

You do realize that you would have to use a new Mac daily for 10+ years to offset its carbon footprint against continuing to use a PC that is already built. And let’s not get started on the financial cost. BTW, Mac minis in sleep mode use

[@rossgeography]

Well considering my mac mini is 2012 I think I qualify for an upgrade! and it will be repurposed (2014 models were awful). would be interested to know where you are getting the 10 year figure? - the boxite/alu extraction is sore I know..@@graxxor

I'm interested in a more detailed installation guide. I have some devices that are very similar.

[@BakaOnigiri]

Hello, I am sorry to bother you, but I followed your tutorial (and the second video) without any issue until the use of OCLP to apply root patches (install the HD4600 drivers). At this step, and after the reboot, I am stuck on the boot logo with the progress bar stuck at 1/3, and nothing move. The only difference is that I used an Intel i7 4770 (the maximum for the motherboard of the P420). Do you have any tips to solve this problem ? Also, I am not able to boot without the use key, I used OCAT to mount both EFI partitions, copy the EFI folder from the usb key to the internal SSD, but the motherboard doesn't seems to recognize the drive as bootable.

@@Endless_Dreams just wondering, what exactly can you do with this mac ventura.. compared with just using windows or linux?

[@Endless_Dreams]

@@judasthepious1499 It's more convenient for me to work without seeing Windows windows. After all, I have fewer errors on the hack than on Windows 10 or 11, which is actually Windows XP with minor kernel changes and a different graphical interface. I also have other Apple devices and I can start work on the way home on the iPad and finish at home on the computer without any problems. Xcode is also a great advantage. Contrary to appearances, the hack runs and works much more efficiently on this computer than Windows or Linux. Maybe it's strange, but it's true. This just goes to show how Windows is filled with all sorts of crap that 95% of users don't use or know exists.

[@slashparty]

@@judasthepious1499 idk what that person does but productivity based work such as video editing and music production are better on macos than windows. it's just the way windows handles these things. millions of different drivers that perform inefficiently while on macos you obviously dont have to install extra drivers and everything "just works".

[@lesbeery2478]

I just checked ebay in the US and the price of this model is $367.83

[@BartechTV]

That listing is an Italian seller trying to sell $20 computers for many times their value. He's also trying to sell 2001-era 17" LCD monitors for the price of a modern IPS ultrawide. In Europe there are several auctions for this PC that ended in the last month at under 25 Euros. This PC was never released in the US as far as I know. In the US you'd probably have more luck finding a Lenovo ThinkCentre or a Dell Optiplex with a similar spec. For example, on Ebay US I can see three Lenovo ThinkCentre M93P listings that were sold at $16 with a core i5-4570T that will run macOS fine, and there are dozens of Dell Optiplex 4th to 7th gen systems that sold recently for very low prices too.

[@mattiznx]

[@BartechTV]

Sadly, there's no support for Alder Lake iGPU's in macOS Ventura, so the N100 wouldn't work. The best mini PC for hackintosh until very recently was still probably the Intel 8th gen Nuc8i5BEK. It's like a 2018 Mac Mini but with faster graphics performance thanks to the Iris Plus 655. Recently, the NootedRed project has made it possible to run macOS on AMD APU's with integrated Vega GPU's, so the best hackintosh Mini PC right now would probably be one based on the Ryzen 7 5700G.

[@th34lch3m1st]

@@BartechTV That's unfortunate. So I got it, by the time the choices are two: I save some old puppy from the junkyard or I bite the bullet and buy a mac mini m2 for 550€ (which would not be a bad idea, considering the price and the the curiosity for the new chip). Assemble a 5700g could probably cost around 400€ (180€ cpu and then motherboard, psu, ram, case). Nonetheless a dual boot linux/mac-os machine for 400€ could be an option to consider for me.

Hi Bartech TV, i would like to ask, is it illegal legally to do hackintosh myself, or if i would like to do it for education system at my school without any payment made by teachers but would like to help them install for coding laboratory purposes for my community. Is it illegal ?

[@slycordinator]

The Ventura license agreement says: "Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you obtained the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, through an automatic download or under a volume license, maintenance or other written agreement from Apple, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time." This means that it's, generally, against the terms of their license to install MacOS onto a non-Apple computer. Apple isn't likely to do anything to individuals who make a Hackintosh, but an educational institution could be opening themselves to liability for doing it. Presumably, the school would need a specific educational license for that use case. And it seems unlikely that Apple would grant a license around teaching students how to make Hackintosh systems, given that this would entail teaching them how to do something Apple doesn't officially allow.

[@SianaGearz]

I have an HP Elite computer 8300 CMT that I rescued from being thrown away. Can I hackintosh it? It has an i5 3570 in it.

[@choppergirl]

@@BartechTV Holy sh1t are you kidding about modern macs not backwards compatible with 68K & PPC apps?? That's all I have and an ocean of them. Thanks for the info. I guess I'll stick then with my PowerMac 9600 @ 300mghz!

What os will work on a laptop with these specs ? System Type X86-based PC Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHZ, 2000 Mhz, 2 Core(s)

High Sierra.

Hi, can I install this on my HP envy laptop? It’s a 2019 with an i7 and nvidea gpu. The laptop is really nice but I’d like to have a partition for Mac OS if I could. It is crazy how a cheap ebay pc can run it so well with minimal headaches. Thanks for the video!

[@BartechTV]

Yes but you wouldn't be able to use the Nvidia GPU, only the integrated graphics on the CPU, since macOS has no Nvidia support.

[@TigerGreene]

​@@BartechTVWrong. Opencore supports Kepler and older Nvidia GPUs on Big Sur. macOS did support Nvidia GPUs previously.

[@tomprice5496]

That's a Crapintosh. And I want one.

put in a e3 1275v3 its unknow but it is supported

Thanks for this video 🙏🏼 What I didn't get right in the video, is how I collect the drivers of my PC. What were you using for that? How do I add my drivers to macOS? I recently build a new computer and I managed to install macOS Ventura (never ever build a Hackintosh (my first time). But it misses the exact drivers for (for example) my Graphic Card (AMD RX 6800 XT) and the sound system from the (Gigabyte Motherboard (z 790 AERO G). Is there a way to do that?

[@BartechTV]

The only way to find out is to look at the spec sheet for your motherboard. You shouldn't need any drivers for the 6800XT since it's natively supported in macOS. It should just work. Just add the "agdpmod=pikera" boot argument. For the sound, make sure that you have lilu.kext and applealc.kext, then choose an appropriate audio layout. According to the specifications of your motherboard (www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-AERO-G-rev-10/sp#sp) it's using an ALC1220-VB audio codec. According to the list of supported codecs at github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs you can use layout id's 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 34, 35, 98, 99, 100. In your boot-args, add "alcid=xx", replacing xx with one of the above audio layouts. Try each one in turn until you find one that works that works for you, testing all of the audio ports, headphone jack, microphone jack etc.

There are two mice in this video. A Logitech B100 (black) and a Razer DeathAdder Essential (white).

Does iMessage work with your hackintosh install? I tried installing Ventura in PVE and could not get imessage to work.

[@BartechTV]

Yes it works fine.

Weird question, how well does Logic Pro/Garageband run?

[@graxxor]

My daughter uses both on our Hackintosh 4770k based Hac. She hasn’t complained once.

[@CapoGamingYT]

i got sonoma on mine, i cant get the audio to work through hdmi, graphics acceleration dosent work and i cant fix my overscan issue, its depressing

[@BartechTV]

What is your GPU?

[@xxzmk]

I wonder if I should do this. too. I have a fully functioning i7-3770, 16GB system lying around.

[@BartechTV]

Sadly 3rd gen is too old. Ventura needs AVX2, so that's Haswell or newer.

[@xxzmk]

@@BartechTV I just don't really want to install MAC OS on my i5-13500, 64GB machine. That one will only rock one OS and thats it. Maybe I might build a just for fun i3-12100 32GB fun machine for about 300-400 euros for this purpose.
