Joost's Hackintosh system (MacOS 10.15.1 on GA-Z87-HD3, i5 4670K and RX 570)
- Attached screenshots of the settings in Clover Configurator
- Attached zip of EFI folder, which you can use if you have the same/similair system.
- Processor: Intel Core i5 4670K Boxed (Haswell)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3
- Sound card (onboard): Realtek ALC892 audio chip
- SSD storage: Crucial Crucial MX500, 1TB
- Graphic card: Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 570 4GD5
- OS installed: Catalina 10.15.1 dualbooted with Windows 10
- Patience (this was hard for me)
- Make sure your motherboard is on the latest available BIOS.
- Make a Bootable USB stick (from a actual Mac) using this procedure: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-create-a-macos-catalina-public-beta-installation-usb.278188/
- I didn’t do anything at all with the Library/Extensions folder myself (it has lots of files in in though). For kexts, I only used the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/ folder.
Make sure (!) you are using the latest kexts from the internet:
- FakeSMC.kext (Only install FakeSMC.kext, nothing else) https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek/downloads/
- USBInjectAll.kext https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-usb-inject-all/downloads/
- Lilu.kext https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu/releases
- WhateverGreen.kext https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/releases
- Step 1: After power on, press F12 to select bootable USB. Just boot from the USB boot disk and install. Be sure to insert the USB into the USB 2.0 port.
- Step 2: Install macOS Catalina on Any Supported Intel-based PC. I have omitted the detailed steps above. Only thing you should do, is during the entire process, boot via the USB stick.
- Step 3 (perhaps this step is redundant to step 4, but I did it anyhow): After installation is complete, install Clover (Clover_V2.5k_r5098 by Dids), install Clover Configurator and update it first. After that, mount the EFI of the SSD with Clover Configurator.
- Step 4: Delete the EFI folder of the SSD (intel SSD) with Catalina installed and EFI.ZIP Please paste and unzip. And extract it in your EFI folder.
- Step 5: Start Kext Utility Prepare the permissions.
- Step 6: Restart
- Step 7: Select and start the SSD on which Catalina is installed on.
- CPU, RAM, Fans, etc.
- Video
- Ethernet
- Sound (with a customization for Stereo speakers and 1 Subwoofer)
