This is not a guide, this is just a tribute.

(will update this when i have migrated to macOS Monterey -im in no hurry)

Read up on OpenCore, don't just blind copypasta EFI's, kexts, .plist files, pathces, when you find them on the wildweb.

Open, read, put some brain's into it, learn something. You owe it to ALL creators, contributors before you.

oh. and remember to unzip the archives under Resources :P

BIOS Settings

As per OpenCore guide, nothing dramatic needed to be done. I have 2 profiles saved in bios.

  • One stable all core 5.1GHz OC for when i feel like booting up windows to game.
  • One for macOS with a bit bumped voltages for cpu and ram.
    • Fan/pump curves adjusted for silence but not to sacrifice cooling.
    • Active Turbo Ratios are set to 51 for all the cores.

RGB you say?

  • I say nay, it's all turned off -just doesn't float my boat.

Current OS

  • macOS Big Sur 11.5 (Build 20G71)
  • Windows 10 21H1 (19043.1110)

Bootloader

  • OpenCore 0.7.1

Working:

  • Allmost everything, see below.

Known Not working:

  • TV+ has stopped working, don't use the rig for it -so it doesn't matter.

Unused:

  • Sleep, nap, whatever.. i dont use, it worked last time i tested and played with it.

Other:

Besides the hacks i own and use daily, my pureblood iPhone and M1 Air talks and integrates with the hacks daily.
