Hello guys and gals. New to this forum, found it while I was searching for OpenCore tutorials. Was blown away when I saw here that a few of you have successfully built a Hackintosh using newer AMD components. I have had Macs for a very long time, despise Windows and trying to learn to use Arch Linux (hasn't been easy). I thought I couldn't build a Hackintosh with my setup and was trying to make a Mac VM inside Arch Linux when I found this forum.
My current PC build is:
I built this PC in an attempt to teach my child about computer, he is still pretty young but gotta start teaching them early. So I let him help with motherboard, CPU (carefully), RAM, PSU and GPU. I did all the cable management which could use some improvement. Since I found this forum, I have changed my goals of having a Windows, Arch with Mac OS VM through QEMU KVM to making it a Windows, Hackintosh, Arch Linux Build. Definitely not familiar with Code but I get by using terminal commands in most OSes.
Are my goals achievable?
Do you suggest to have all of the OSes in one drive and then use separate drives to share compatible content? Or put the OSes in separate drives for simplicity?
How to keep the OSes separately? I did a previous Hackintosh but it was a script install on an Intel NUC and when I log into Windows the system shows I have a Mac Mini, instead of an Intel NUC Hades Canyon.
Currently reading the recent posts of my similar build, one being from AudioGod. Confused some of the steps but I guess that will clarify a little after reading the OpenCore Guide as well.
Anyway, tips, advice, suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Peace
My current PC build is:
- AMD 5950X 16 Core
- Asus X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero MotherBoard
- Asus ROG Strix RX 6700 XT OC (Got this card only because it was the only part needed to finish my PC, but I am happy with how it performs so far. So have no plans in upgrading it)
- 64GB (16x4) Crucial Ballistic Max CL 19 4100 Mhz RAM
(Crucial states that it is overclock-able to 5100 Mhz, but Windows doesn't boot if I go above 3800 Mhz even using AI D.O.C.P. Do not know why. Not familiar with over-clocking since this is my first PC built since I joined the Apple gang)(Any advice in over-clocking in addition of building the Hackintosh will be greatly appreciated) - Sabrent 1TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD (x2) (original plan was to have Windows on one and Linux in the other)
- EVGA SuperNova G5 850W Gold Plus Power Supply
- MainGear Vybe PC Case
