Hackintosh Catalina Installation Guide for Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master
This build is "Vanilla". I used this guide as a starting point.
I assume you are installing Catalina, although most of the instructions also apply for Mojave.
Hardware
See my Hardware List
What's Working/What's Not
Working
- Ethernet
- Onboard Audio (including digital audio)
- APFS
- Sleep/Wake
- All USB ports at 3.x speed
- iMessage

Not Working
- Built-in wifi. This will likely never work since it is the new Intel CNVi that MacOS doesn't support.
- Onboard Bluetooth is hit or miss. However, I disabled it (HS14) because I have a natively supported Broadcom BCM94360CS2 WIFI/BT adapter.
- Netflix DRM in Safari (works in Chrome)
Not Yet Tested
- FileVault
