This is the result of quite a lot of work and upkeep. Oh, and lack of sleep.
All my USB2 and USB3 ports are working. I also have internal Bluetooth and Apple WIFI cards installed with just natively work.
- This currently has Clover 5139 and latest lilu, whatevergreen etc. And necessary kexts for X79 power management
- The ssdts are from serveral sources. Note the 1 specific to i7-3970X processor which you may need to change in your own situation.
- I have obfuscated the board serial numbers and SMBIOS. You would need to make your own.
Some of the gotchas to be careful of :
- BIOS settings. Make sure that you have EFI boot enabled
- Will add BIOS settings here at a later date.
If anyone has managed to scale up to OpenCore or Big Sur with this board, kindly let me know.
If you're not a video game addict and just need a fantastic hackintosh, I've seen no reason to upgrade my system.
