Hello there!
I've always been interested in running Mac OSX on custom built computers and after switching to the Ryzen platform when it came out, my interest skyrocketed.
However, I'm running into some issues with my current setup getting it to work.
I spent about 20+ hours:
I'm not embarrassed to admit it.
The farthest I got was attempting to install. However, the install would time out. The logging system was not very helpful.
My current specs:
AMD Ryzen 3700x
1080ti (I chose High Sierra as I saw this generation of card is supported. If this one is not, it may explain why I had issues)
Crosshair VI Hero X370
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200MHZ 32gb
Silicon Power NVMe / Silicon Power SSD / Seagate Hybrid HDD
I'm just reaching out in case someone see's something with my setup that wont work so I don't waste anymore time.
I would post my work however the laptop I was using to do the work required a refresh. I'm currently at square one.
Any help, advice or the like would be greatly appreciated but not expected.
Thank you very much for time!

I spent about 20+ hours:
- Researching my hardware and known issues
- Researching which version of Mac OSX I should be using
- Going over the Dartonia guide with a fine tooth comb
- Troubleshooting boot issues and install issues
- Ensuring I had the right kexts
- Ensuring I had the right patches enabled in config.plist
- I spent a lot of time in my config.plist
- Misc things that are a blur to me
