Tested with macOS 12.3 – later versions have not been tested. This EFI is my personal configuration and is not 100% guaranteed to work with your hardware... but is intended to be used as a reference point to get your hackintosh up and running. Feel free to join the Telegram chat for discussion. Please note that you'll need to flush a new SMBIOS if you wish to use iCloud services. The included SMBIOS is intentionally blank.

Common Questions

My audio isn't working!

• Certain revisions of this motherboard, either for the Chinese market or those produced around mid-late 2021 have a different device path for the multimedia controller. Try changing the path in your config.plist from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x8,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x3) to PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x8,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x4)

My internal WiFi & Bluetooth isn't working!

• The internal wireless card is not natively compatible, but can be replaced with one that is compatible with macOS.
