Z170i-Pro-Gaming-OpenCore
This will be the last update for SMBIOS iMac17,1 as Skylake support is dropped in macOS 13. EFI for macOS 13 beta
This is an OpenCore version of ASUS Z170i Pro Gaming Hackintosh EFI. It works on macOS Monterey (12.5). FCPX GPU rendering works smoothly. HDR can be enabled. Sleep, Airdrop and Handoff are supported.
Notes
- Mac boot chime is added. You may need to modify
config.plist/UEFI/Audio/AudioOutbased you motherboard layout. - If you don't have a dGPU, i.e. output via iGPU, refer to HD530 branch.
- I chose 15 USB ports in my USB map. 2x USB 3.0(front) + 4x USB 3.0(back) + 2x USB 2.0(back) + Bluetooth(internal via M.2) = 15 ports. Generally there's no front USB 2.0 port on ITX cases so I didn't include onboard USB 2.0 ports(HS11/HS12). I believe this is a reasonable trade-off for most people. However if you bought some strange Wi-Fi card which requires USB 2.0 header, you need follow this guide to create your own USB map.
- For onboard 3.5mm audio output you need to plug into the green(line out) jack. If you restart from Windows, there will be no sound. This is a issue in the Windows Realtek driver as they modified the DSDT. Always shutdown from windows then boot to macOS.
