Ryzen Hackintosh EFI

What is this

This repository contains the EFI directory for Ryzen 3900X and Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite combo, with somewhat diverse additional components.

Specification of my computer

EFI structure

WARNING

• I recommend you use this as only a reference resource.
  • Obviously, this build may not be the best one.
  • This EFI contains additional kexts in config.plist rather than only the essential things for X570 + Zen2 CPU. You should remove them before using this on your PC.

One more, check this before you use

In the config.plist file, I've replaced the private serial codes into the EDIT_HERE words because to keep my personal information safe.

So if you are going to use this, you have to make sure that the EDIT_HERE texts are changed to yours. To generate the serial key, please refer to the Dortania's OpenCore Guide. When you are about to generate one, you should select MacPro7,1 to properly use your machine.

• If you are going to convert SMBIOS from iMacPro1,1 to MacPro7,1, make sure that you must logout Apple ID from your current system and regenerate all the SMBIOS details such as MLB, serial number, UUID for MacPro7,1.
• If your CPU has less than 8 cores, go to config.plist file and find "PlatformInfo->Generic" and change the "ProcessorType" from 0 to 1537.

You got another one you must check

From the recent AMD CPU patch, now we have to specify the CPU core counts to the algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package nodes. Currently, my EFI setup sets that for the 12-core CPU model because I'm using Ryzen 3900X.

• algrey - Force cpuid_cores_per_package
  • 10.13,10.14
    • B80C0000 0000
  • 10.15,11.0
    • BA0C0000 0000
  • 12.0
    • BA0C0000 0090

What works and what doesn't work

Works

• Almost everything including Apple continuity (Handoff, iMessage, Airdrop, Facetime, Universal Control, ...).

Partially works

• 3.5mm audio jacks
  • The speaker output on the front/back panel works.
  • The microphone input on the front/back panel doesn't work.
  • Have not tested line in/out and digital out.
• The common Ryzentosh issues. Please refer to the CPU support part of Dortania's OpenCore Guide
  • Specific professional applications may need to be patched for AMD processors such as Adobe apps, Davinci Resolve, etc.
  • Virtualization (Apple Hypervisor and the apps using this like AVD on Android Studio, Parallels) is not working but VirtualBox works.

Doesn't work

• Sidecar
• Ethernet (Our NIC, Intel I211)
  • After macOS 12 Monterey, the kext SmallTreeIntel82576.kext is not working anymore. It detects the NIC device but reports the cable is disconnected.
  • khronokernel/SmallTree-I211-AT-patch#3
