I've bought these parts last week. After the assembling and trying, stressing it with windoze10 I have started the Mac OS preparation and installation.
- I have followed dorthania.
- I used gibmacos to download the Mojave setup files.
- Selected the O option for opencore installation to the usb. But when I look into the usb drive, there was no "boot" file in the root directory. So I have copied it from the opencore package manually.
- Generated iMac19,2 SMBIOS with macserial and embedded my ethernet's mac also into the config.plist
- I have found and EFI setup with the same mobo on reddit. Grabbed the ACPI folder. I do not know anything about setting up ACPI.
- I have deleted al the partitions from the disk with a live linux's gparted to ensure there is nothing left from the previous windos installation.
- Computer booted from usb selected mojave installation. Everyting went smooth.
- Everything was working except jpeg preview so I have found a NoVPAJpeg.kext version which was compiled for lilu 1.3.6
- I ran geekbench 5 and the scores were similar to both iMac19,2 and Ryzen 5 3600x and also better than RX570.
- In prim95 torture test the heat was not above 83 celcius. TDP was 94 watts. I'll work on it later.
- I used my 10 year old appel id. Works smooth.
- After the first version of this post, Shanee suggested me to use iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS to enable better GPU and JPEG Preview. Tried it. Worked.
- I just had to re-enter my icloud password and approve it with my iphone.
- Removed the old imac from the icloud account. Now jpeg works without NoVPAJpeg.kext
- Intel ethernet
- AMD Power Tool and Gadget
- HDMI Audio
- Messages, Facetime, Appstore, Photos
- Civilization VI, Civilization V
- Shutdown, Restart
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- Adobe software (despite the patches)
- Some Waves plug-ins (crashing validation)
- Wine, Crossover etc. (except VirtualBox)
- Sleep
Sanitized EFI in the attachments. I would like to try any suggestions and here for any questions. Thank you for your time.
