However Gigabyte board it is the less user friendly in some aspect and in some case if you need a proper sleep/wake feature
MSI motherboard seems more friendly

I use iMac Pro because I am using a unique config.plist to boot two OSX (HighSierra and BigSur)
I do not see any advantage to use Macpro7.1..but in Big Sur it works ;)
you have to be more specific about your initial booting error

I have no problem to build my USB with all available method

OK i success to run MacOS X Catalina. and Cinebench 20 runs very good score. i got 13650.
However there are many issue came.

1. Didn't restart or shutdown. i must push power button.
2. After Pull off usb and reboot, not booting. should hackintosh always need USB to boot?
3. I can't find Wifi even my Board is Wifi version.

I feel more and more close to real hackintosh.

any suggestion would be thanks.

I have the same issue with shutdown. Have to do it manually.

When I loaded my EFI to hard drive, usb no longer needed.

3960x
Sapphire 5700 XT
128 G Hyper X

Thoughts?

Hi there,
Mine is
CPU : AMD Ryzen 3960X
GPU : AMD RX5700 XT
MotherBoard : ASUS Zenith Extreme II (TRx40)
RAM : 128GB Corsair

I spent weeks on the internet but no luck, I found yours, it's exactly matching mine, can you share your EFI, it's will be helpful and much appreciated.

to fix your shutdown problem you have to fill your MMIO whitelist area with correct MMIO converted value
you have to add yours properly
