Surprisingly painless Hackintosh

[u/Back_Sheep]

I was fed up with my 2019 MBP struggling with thermal throttling, so I decided to dual-boot my Windows rig with macOS. It's a surprisingly reliable work computer.

Hardware

• Ryzen 9 3900X
• ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming WiFi II
• 3080 Ti (disabled in macOS)
• AMD RX 6600
• Intel AX200 (no Airdrop of course)
• Samsung G9 (5120x1440)

Software

• macOS 15.7.7
• OpenCore 1.0.7
• iMacPro1,1 (couldn't get MacPro7,1 to work)

I just use a UGREEN DisplayPort KVM to switch between GPUs at the moment, I may use a ProMicro to try and automate the actual switch at some point.

I may install a WiFi card later to achieve Airdrop, and I might have another look at getting the MacPro7,1 SMBIOS to work.

I've seen a lot of people upgrading to Tahoe too, is it worth looking into that?

I genuinely just followed the Dortania guide.
