I've updated my test boot stick to 0.7.2 but I run into a weird issue. Updated all files, kexts et cetera. Checked the config.plist with ocvalidate as I always do. The usb installer loads but I don't see my macOS boot disk. I see EFI, a second (Time Machine) drive that isn't bootable, my Windows...

I used Macs since about 2005, ended up with a Mac mini server 2011 but when I really needed to replace it, Apple didn't have any interesting offerings. The mini upgrades were anything but. I mentally made the switch to Windows but bought the pc parts with Hackintosh in mind, more like "funny to...

Yeah, literally after enabling ProvideCurrentCpuInfo like you so clearly warned about.

EDIT: I'll leave this up for my personal shame but I've completely ignored your BIG LETTER warning to enable ProvideCurrentCpuInfo. I was too focused on the patches to look any further. EDIT2: Works like a charm! Of course it does. :D Curious, I've done it twice to be sure and tested the config...

I'd uncheck the option for automatic installation of system updates. First check here / other hackintosh forums if there are problems with an update.

Before you start messing with the EFI... your system boots correctly, right? In macOS, check System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources what kind of keyboard layout you have installed. If it's just a regular QWERTY keyboard, something like 'U.S. International' should do. If you need a region...

Thanks for the insights! I think I'll make the jump to the latest version just to see if it makes any difference. ;) EDIT Did the jump from version F12 to F34 and after some minor tweaks it still boots fine. One benefit I already noticed is that I can leave the PCIe generation to Auto (instead...

I live by the old adage if it ain't broke, but I wonder how my fellow hackintosh-builders go about BIOS updates. I'm still on the version the board was on when I got it, but that's about 20 updates ago I noticed. The system is stable and there's nothing I need to update my system over (release...

Welcome!

Hey friends, Today I cloned my rather constrained original nvme to a new terabyte one. That took only about 20 minutes but it did remind me that I'm running my system 'on the handbrake' so to say - with it set to pcie generation 3 in the bios. Read/write speeds are fine but when I set it to...

Good point. I was under the impression this was a more efficient way of telling macOS what was where, but LuxMark listed it as a AMD prototype so that's not good. ;) It was easily reversed (kept WEG but added the ignore value) so I did just that. "Radeon RX 5700 8 GB" returned. Oddly enough...

Because of this post I decided to check if my system correctly lists the graphics card under PCI in System Information. It didn't, so I followed the Hackintool values > DeviceProperties route from @baronerosso and now it works, bit smoother to my eyes too (might be a placebo effect ;) )...

Reset nvram (from the OC bootpicker menu) ?

From complete shutdown about 51 seconds until the boot menu, the about 40 seconds until login screen. My system always pauses for about 10 seconds at the System Intregrity Is On message for some reason.

Ah, the very latest I see. Oddly enough Gigabyte doesn't offer F12 anymore on the official bios page. I could make the jump to F33 but I'm not experiencing any issues. The macOS experience has been rock solid, not a single kernel panic in nearly a year.

Ah, the question wasn't clear and I didn't realise we have the same board. I'm on F12e, which is fairly/very old but if it ain't broke...

No, in the OpenCore menu. There should be an option called 'reset nvram'.

My dual boot is unchanged. Have you tried resetting nvram?

Whoo! It's working for me too! With your help with the boot issue I had a while ago - fixed by going back to HfsPlus.efi - you are fast becoming my EFI mechanic! ;) Thanks so much!

Maybe I'm out of luck with the 3700X series? ¯\(ツ)/¯ But this kext is in more active development than the one-trick-pony MacProMemoryNotificationDisabler.kext I was using up till now, right? So who knows, somewhere down the line...
