Kext | Description |
---|---|
Lilu.kext | Patch many processes, required for AppleALC, WhateverGreen, VirtualSMC and many other kexts. |
SMCProcessor.kext | Used for monitoring CPU temperature, doesn't work on AMD CPU based systems. |
SMCSuperIO.kext | Used for monitoring fan speed, doesn't work on AMD CPU based systems. |
VirtualSMC.kext | Emulates the SMC chip found on real macs, without this macOS will not boot. Alternative is FakeSMC which can have better or worse support, most commonly used on legacy hardware. |
WhateverGreen.kext | Used for graphics patching, DRM fixes, board ID checks, framebuffer fixes, etc; all GPUs benefit from this kext. |
CpuTscSync.kext | Needed for syncing TSC on some of Intel's HEDT and server motherboards, without this macOS may be extremely slow or even unbootable. |
Kexts for support Audio, Wifi, Ethernets and other devices.
Kext | Description |
---|---|
AppleALC.kext | Used for AppleHDA patching, allowing support for the majority of on-board sound controllers. AMD 15h/16h may have issues with this and Ryzen/Threadripper systems rarely have mic support. |
VoodooHDA.kext | Audio for FX systems and front panel Mic+Audio support for Ryzen system, do not mix with AppleALC. Audio quality is noticeably worse than AppleALC on Zen CPUs. |
Kext | Description |
---|---|
IntelMausi.kext | Intel's 82578, 82579, I217, I218 and I219 NICs are officially supported. |
IntelMausiEthernet.kext | Alternative for some I219 NICs. Use it if the kext above doesn't work. |
IntelMausiEthernet.kext | Some alternative for some I219 NICs. Use it if the kext above doesn't work. |
AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext | Required for Atheros and Killer NICs. Note: Atheros Killer E2500 models are actually Realtek based, for these systems please use RealtekRTL8111 instead. |
RealtekRTL8100.kext | Required for Realtek FE Familly Controller - 10/100 Mbps. Common on older hardware. |
RealtekRTL8111.kext | Required for Realtek Gigabit Ethernet. Realtek GbE Familly Controller Sometimes the latest version of the kext might not work properly with your Ethernet. If you see this issue, try older versions. |
LucyRTL8125Ethernet.kext | Required for Realtek 2.5Gb Ethernet. |
SmallTreeIntel82576.kext | Required for I211 NICs, based off of the SmallTree kext but patched to support I211. Required for most AMD boards running Intel NICs. |
AppleIGB.kext | Required for I211 NICs running on macOS Monterey and above. Might have instability issues on some NICs, recommended to stay on Big Sur and use SmallTree. Requires macOS 12 and above. |
AppleIGC.kext | Required for I226 NICs running on macOS Monterey and above. Might have instability issues on some NICs. |
AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext | Required for Intel i225-V in macOS 13 (Monterey) and above. |
Kext | Description |
---|---|
AirportItlwm | Adds support for a large variety of INTEL WIRELESS cards and works natively in recovery thanks to IO80211Family integration. |
IntelBluetoothFirmware | Adds Bluetooth support to macOS when paired with an Intel wireless card. |
AirportBrcmFixup | Used for patching non-Apple/non-Fenvi Broadcom cards, will not work on Intel, Killer, Realtek, etc. For Big Sur see Big Sur Known Issues for extra steps regarding AirPortBrcm4360 drivers. |
BrcmPatchRAM | Used for uploading firmware on Broadcom Bluetooth chipset, required for all non-Apple/non-Fenvi Airport cards. |
Kext | Description |
---|---|
USBInjectAll | Used for injecting Intel USB controllers on systems without defined USB ports in ACPI. All Intel chipset series. Requires OS X 10.11 or newer. |
XHCI-unsupported | Needed for non-native USB controllers. Common chipsets needing this: H370, B360, H310, Z390(Not needed on Mojave and newer), X79, X99, AsRock boards(On Intel motherboards specifically, B460/Z490+ boards do not need it however). |
Kext | Description |
---|---|
NVMeFix | Used for fixing power management and initialization on non-Apple NVMe. |
SATA-Unsupported | Adds support for a large variety of SATA controllers, mainly relevant for laptops which have issues seeing the SATA drive in macOS. We recommend testing without this first. |
AppleMCEReporterDisabler | Useful starting with Catalina to disable the AppleMCEReporter kext which will cause kernel panics on AMD CPUs. Recommended for dual-socket systems (ie. Intel Xeons). |
RestrictEvents | Better experience with unsupported processors like AMD, Disable MacPro7,1 memory warnings and provide upgrade to macOS Monterey via Software Updates when available. |
SMDRadeonGPU | Used for monitoring GPU temperature on AMD GPU systems. Requires RadeonSensor from the same repository. Requires macOS 11 or newer. |
FeatureUnlock | Add Sidecar, NightShift, AirPlay, Universal Control and Continuity Camera support. |
These files are MUST be included in your EFI's ACPI directory. We recommend that you use the MANUAL method, but for a first test you can use the prebuild versions.
