![]() ![]() I've been putting together the parts to build my first hackintosh for audio production using PcPartPicker, and I'm just curious if anyone could give me some advice for getting the best program compatibility with Ryzen 3700x. I think the best option for boot support could be an Samang SM951 AHCI that I have. The R720 doesn't support booting from NVMe devices to my knowledge (there might be a way to mod the UEFI firmware to include support, but that's a project in and of itself). although I can get by just fine without WiFi. but, I'm not sure the R720 supports PCIe slot bifurcation to support the WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time. However, come to think of it I think I have a Apple WiFi Broadcom card and PCIe adapter. I'm not sure about bluetooth (keyboard, mouse, and trackpad are all bluetooth). Currently I have a Broadcom BCM57840S rNDC in the R720, but I could swap that out very easily with an Intel X520 + i350 rNDC. I also have a highpoint USB 3.0 card and a Chelsio 10 GbE NIC I could pull from my Mac Pro 2012 if needed. but future-wise I want to get into machine learning with the Metal API.įrom the standpoint of storage I can put just about anything in there, it's a 16-bay machine, I have a ton of SAS gear, PERC H710, Adaptec 78165, LSI 9207-4i4e, Intel 750 NVMe, Optane 900p, Samsung m.2 AHCI, SATA SSD & HDD, USB sticks, USB to SATA adapters.įor processors I have two Xeon E5-2670 v2 (also have v1 cpus) and memory will be 16x 16GB DDR3 RDIMMs.įor sound I have a USB attached DAC, in particular a S.M.S.L. I would love dual AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Editions or Vega 64s, but I don't think the budget will allow for that at the moment. ![]() The R720 I have has two 8-pin GPU power headers and can accommodate two full-length double-wide GPUs according to the technical guide. Unfortunately I'm dependent on the accessibility and workflow features of macOS for a disability I have, otherwise I would leave the Apple ecosystem entirely. I currently have a Mac Pro 2012, but I'm pissed at Apple for their stupid feud with Nvidia and their insanely out of touch pricing on the new Mac Pro, so I want to try out a hackintosh. The technical guide says the chipset is an Intel C600. I built the same setup presented by Snazzy Labs:Ī PCIe/USB Airport Express compatible Wifi/Bluetooth cardĪny pointers for how to get macOS going on a Dell PowerEdge R720? Spec wise this is probably equivalent to a Mac Pro 6,1. I have linked my config file with my serial redacted. I have rebuilt the config file and reinstalled with no luck. I have also noticed that the Novabench scores are WAY off from the Windows 10 scores. However I will spend the time if it proves to be the likely fix. It seemed a little over my current skill. I have not been able to map the USB ports yet. I have tried SSDT-EC-USBX-AMD.aml in the ACPI folder with the files created with SSDTTime with no effect. I read some posts that it may be USB related. I followed the guide and had the config file verified by the sanity checker.Īfter running MacOS for a while, or if I let it sit and sleep (even if I disable sleep and monitor shut down) it freezes. I have been successfully in booting into MacOS Catalina with Opencore. Here's some more pics of my setup if anyone is interested!.It has bunch of different hyperlinks embedded in it and it helps a lot.I plugged it in the back port as well as the front port and selected that in system preferences but still couldn't get anything.* \As for microphone, I'm not 100% sure what the issue is.Although not for unlock with watch& airdrop which I desperately need.* I'm currently using some random usb bluetooth adapter from my old PC and its working. I have ordered a internal to external converter so I'm planning on just plugging it into an external port on back of the motherboard. \For bluetooth, I believe the problem is I couldn't get the internal USB2.0 header to work.All USB Ports \just not internal usb2.0 ones*.Its running super stable now without a single error. After doing the whole process from the top 3 times, I just gave up on OpenCore and went to clover instead. On first boot attempt, it gave me an error saying "Invalid OpenCore Configuration" After changing some minor values in the plist file, I tried again and from that attempt onwards, whenever I selected the flash drive as the boot device, it would just reset back to the motherboard BIOS. ![]() After building everything, I tried to boot. I spent days reading over the OpenCore guide and figuring out what I need.
