A guide to build your own Hackintosh based on Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master

Looking for my original Clover guide? It's still available right here.

This build is "Vanilla". I used this guide as a starting point.

Not Working (as expected)
  • Built-in WIFI. This will very likely never work since it is the new Intel CNVi that macOS doesn't support.

Not Yet Tested
  • FileVault

Step By Step Instructions

My old Clover guide used to have Step by Step instructions but I decided not to write such instructions here for two reasons: it's a pain to keep up to date, and I literally just followed the OpenCore Desktop Guide. When in doubt, just look at my KEXTs, drivers and config.list for guidance.
