Greetings! - ASUS ROG Strix X670E-I + Ryzen 9 7950X

[unforsaken]

Greetings everyone!

I want to thank the community for their hard work. I want to share with you how I got my PC running ( ASUS ROG Strix X670E-I Gaming WiFi with an AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X - Cores 16 / Threads 32 ).

I downloaded the EFI attachment from this thread/post: ryzen-7000-testing / #656 and made an "offline" USB installer with Big Sur and tweaked a few settings in config.plist. So, special thanks to @CaseySJ and @ExtremeXT

So far the OS installs and runs. There are sound issues no WiFi and LAN/ethernet has to be patched/fixed for it to work.

Keep up the good work.

I was torn between the Asus X670E-I and the Gene. Because I have the Asus Z690-I already, the AMD version would have allowed me to create a sibling system. But alas I chose the Gene because I preferred to avoid the “Hive”!

On-board WiFi and Bluetooth module works properly when using the OpenIntelWireless drivers.

Similar thing happened to me. And let me tell you, I believe you chose correctly. I have to deal/live with what I have "on board".

Thanks for sharing this info as well. However, my WiFi module is a MediaTek MT7922 Wi-Fi 6E. Probably there's a different module on the Gene. Sadly it won't work for me, I'm out of luck in that sense/part. If you have any suggestions to get around the WiFi please let me know.

That is very odd! On my Asus ROG Strix Z690-I there is an Intel WiFi/BT module so I'm surprised that on the AM5 version of this board Asus chose a MediaTek module. Anyway, this module can be replaced. I am using a Fenvi BCM94360NG on my Asus Z690-I. This module is natively supported in macOS -- just plug-and-play!

OMG YES! Thank for you letting me know! I didn't check the board thoroughly when I was assembling everything, although I would prefer to use a WiFi 6 module and apply necessary hacks. I will definitely look into that in order to replace the module.

Now I will just follow your thread for the sound issues, probably will try SpeedKeeper. Since I had issues booting Monterey, I will stick to Big Sur for a while I guess because my technical knowledge on these things is not there yet.



EDIT:
WiFi Module is integrated on the board. Can't swap it out. I can, however, use/sacrifice one of the free M.2 NVME Slots there is on the board. (sad face)

Ouch!! They hardwired the WiFi/BT chip to the motherboard?? Are you still keeping the board? The ProArt X670E-Creator looks really really good. It’s ATX…

I'm really moved into doing that. Also, I will have to get a new case, because for this ITX build I bought a Fractal Torrent Nano which sadly I can't return now. Honestly I never thought I had so much interest in running Hackintosh, but now it seems like I do. So I'll definitely check what my options are. Thank you for the suggestions as well.

Keep up the good work.

Does your GPU require any patching to run or does it work OOTB? I'm trying to buy a (cheap) GPU as a stand-in until the 7000 GPUs ship fm ATi

I didn't have to do anything (patching) "special", it was mostly CPU (cores) and USB (kexts) tweaking applied to the config.plist. Just did exactly as I posted in the OP.
