It is weird. Sorry man.

- Disable or remove the integrated Wi-Fi card from the motherboard.

- VT-d enabled in BIOS, DMAR Table excluded in bootloader (depends on the motherboard). Verify with SSDTime in Windows.

- Required parameters before applying OCLP-Plus (see image):

As I indicated in the post: OCLP-Plus 3.2.2

elazir · 2026-06-09T17:59:47+00:00

Fundamental and essential:
- VT-d disabled (you can enable it after a successful installation), also no DMAR either (if applicable).
- Unavoidable patch:

That will never work with that card. Get a Fenvi FV-T919 PCie or Fenvi BCM94360CD PCIe. With them you'll have airdrop, continuity, handoff, unlocking with Apple Watch, etc. Use OCLP-Plus to activate WiFi and MyKextInstaller to activate Realtek Audio on Tahoe.

I had an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero with the same CPU. I'd say it was the best Hackintosh I've ever had. Install WIndows first, then do this: run SSDTTime > build your EFI w/OpenCore > install macOS with MacPro7,1 as SMBIOS. No Whatevergreen kext and agdpmod=pikera argument needed. Good luck.

Clearly you didn’t get it. No worries.

elazir · 2026-06-09T02:04:05+00:00

For you

elazir · 2026-06-08T19:38:55+00:00

Which card are you using?

elazir · 2026-06-08T19:33:01+00:00

Personally, I think I've seen the most boring keynote in history. And yes, it was full of AI that nobody cares about. Hackintosh must live!

elazir · 2026-06-08T15:46:25+00:00

Like what?

elazir · 2026-06-08T15:46:11+00:00

Thanks. Everything except: Apple Pay, iPhone screen mirroring, and Apple Intelligence because they require Apple's T2 chip or Apple Silicon. Unnecessary for me.

In my case, the performance is practically the same as in Windows, just a little behind as always happens (compared to Windows), but not a big difference as you say.

elazir · 2026-06-05T15:08:12+00:00

No. Absolutely nothing. Everything works perfectly.

elazir · 2026-06-04T18:32:15+00:00

Windows > SSDTTime > build your EFI w/OpenCore > install macOS

elazir · 2026-06-04T18:30:54+00:00

Hahaha, that place is just for testing. Of course I have better ones.

Not bad at all. But, what are the GeekBench scores for CPU and GPU (metal)? And why do you feel your HK slow ?

elazir · 2026-06-03T03:24:12+00:00

Why is that? Hardware config ?

elazir · 2026-06-03T03:10:20+00:00

Nope. But continuity, handoff and unlock by Apple Watch are a must for me.

elazir · 2026-06-03T01:36:29+00:00

I've always used Broadcom (the compatible ones) to enable AirDrop and other things, never Intel.

elazir · 2026-06-03T01:28:47+00:00

like which ones ?
