a very well thought out build. No fancy high-end motherboards, you have included affordable yet powerful CPU and an all-round practical configuration.
agreed. its also an interesting start for making a hackintosh :D
4C/8T 10gen powerfull CPU you are kidding?
@@kevinyoliveira68 bro it's powerful enough for some relaxed gaming

Thank you so much for this - it just worked after wasting weeks trying to follow the opencore guides and no one explaining anything properly. Super happy!! Thanks again!
Thanks Ricardo, I'm glad you found the video useful.
I'd say the opencore documentation is perfectly concise. What did you have trouble with?
did you manage to get a hackintosh?? did you watch the 2023 indian dude top result video? ... im a bit scared from all the steps,, was it pretty simple for you to get it?
Hello, I am still using the USB in order to run Ventura. I tried to find the EFI folder in the USB, but the only thing I found is the Ventura Installer. Can you help me? Thanks :)
Thanks for the video and for supporting Hackintosh community. I am a Hackintosh user for the past 3 years and i have a 8700k asus 370 32gb 1tb machine that spits fire, recently updated to Ventura macos
hi, which video card do you use?
can you guide me how i can make my hp envy i5 11gen laptop to the one how this video creator makes like i didnt get which file to download hackintosh mac os or genuine apple mac os? and other thing how to make bootable usb drive of mac os from my windows laptop do i really need macbook for creating the bootable disk?
lmao bro gave an ssd spec but not a gpu spec
Fantastic guide! My daily driver laptop is an old Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 2 that I made into a hackintosh running 10.15.7. It's been running solid as a hackintosh for over two years now. I really do love MacOS and the Apple ecosystem. My laptop is starting to show its age so I have been considering building an affordable desktop hackintosh. I think I just found my guide! Fantastic job! 😁
Why not just buy a mac mini for 600$?
@@c1bersnake want to dual boot with windows for gaming
@Cristian Barcaru Because newer models using Apple Silicon and with Apple Silicon (without Parallels etc) some tasks (especially gaming) aren't that great for price/performance expect.
Thants nice for you.........
does iMessage work on it?
I succesfully installed Ventura with I5 processor on Asus motherboard 390 with Amd radeon RX580, thanks for your video got to learn you are good tutor
This seems like a lot of work. Thanks for sharing I’m glad hackintosh is still a thing
the OS installation and maintenance really is, but it's much better than it used to be back in the old days.
Terrific and brilliant guide! Thank you for this!
I used a hackintosh running Sonoma till last month when I got an 8GB ram 2013 MBP for portability that smoothly runs Sonoma with opencore legacy patcher
That’s a super awesome video, thank you for making it.
The only thing I’d say is that I’d really like to see a bit more info on how to modify versions settings for those of us with different CPU’s and graphics cards… .
And if you could eventually, I’d also really love to see an amd processor build hackintosh, given the price to performance ratio of those CPU’s these days.
Thanks man, this is really great setup my delivery is coming soon!
I bought almost the same components you use here and got it up and running yesterday. I'm a photographer and I play guitar a lot. For both of those activities I demand a bit from my computers and so far it seems this one is hitting the mark for me. I was concerned about underbuilding, but those concerns are dissipating. My old hackintosh had a 3rd gen i7 and here I'm at a 10th gen i3. For guitar, playing live into recording software, latency is always an issue, but so far my buffer size is surprisingly low. The one thing I missed in this build is bluetooth. I got the FenviT919, which set up wifi easily, bluetooth requires a connection to a USB 9 pin port on the board, but it's already in use( there's only one). I think my solution is going to be a dongle. I just want it so I can use my keyboard without hooking it up to USB. Thanks for the great video.
On another note, my editor for my photography lives in Lisbon. I believe you're in Portugal, yes?
I'm glad you found the video useful. macOS runs remarkably well even on lower end hardware like a Core i3. I also missed not having bluetooth, in a previous build I was using an Asus Bluetooth dongle which allowed me to connect an Apple magic keyboard and magic mouse. It's possible to get an internal USB hub, which plugs into the motherboard 9-pin USB header and gives you multiple 9-pin headers. For example the AC-IUSBH-M3 from NZXT or the CC-9310002-WW from Corsair.
Yes, I moved to Portugal several years ago, I live in the north near Porto. It's a beautiful country.
Thanks for sharing that tip on the USB hub. Got one ordered and should be here by Friday.
@@BartechTV
I've had the same hackintosh I built 10 years ago and I can't take it any further than Mojave, so it's time I got my OS situation updated. I subscribe to Adobe for Photoshop and Lightroom and right now, I'm stuck with paying for a subscription that I can't upgrade anymore. This sounds like a perfect build and I've ordered parts today. The only difference I've made is 32GB's of RAM and the SSD is 512 GB's. Looking forward to an easy build and thank you very much for sharing this with us. All the details needed appear to be there.
Hey man, you should make the back fan work as outake, it gonna make temps better as the hot air is thrown out of the case :D
Awesome CPU for the money 💪One thing to add, they case fan needs to be flipped the other way around
Very good , I needed a small and cheap Hackintosh for my OPNP, this goes far beyond my expectations. Thanks
Subscribed, nice vid dude!
Excellent tutorial, i am writing this in one hackintosh already! You're GOAT.
Very nice build,That case looks stunning for the price :)
holy crap, this is incredible. I had no idea this was even a thing. Who would've thought that Apple is selling overpriced hardware!? No but seriously, I'm going to be doing this build. My 2020 MBP which costed like 1600 euros has only 8 gb of ram and it thoroughly pisses me off every day. Since I love mac OS though, I was about to buy a new machine for close to 3K euros. The thing is I also really like Windows and Linux. Being able to tri book MacOs, Windows and Arch would be a dream come true. Why hasn't I heard about this before. On top of that, I can save my MBP for when I actually need it.. traveling and whatnot. Thanks! I'll let you know how I get on.
Over priced? You can buy a M2 Mac Mini for $599 USD. There’s not many PC’s that can even touch that performance for less than a couple grand. MacBook Air M1 is $999 and M2 $1199. Apple is a bargain in some areas. And M2 can edit 4k videos flawlessly. Much better than this $300 Hakintosh.

Wonderful tutorial. Thanks Mister❤️
No worries!
Great job doing this man!
I love the video,, and how easily you explained everything..
agree: Terrific and brilliant guide! !!!! thanks
All item listed now on my cart and i have ordered the first three items at the top. Will notify you bro once i start to assemble and install the macos.
I started with 2 hackintosh and now I own a Mac mini, iPad and iPhone. It certainly was the cheapest way running macOS, because both pcs came right from the trash. The first one was thrown out by a company I had business with, they told me to just take it and the other one was laying in a trash bin.
The first one was a bit involved, because the cpu and integrated gpu wasn’t supported and I had to get a dedicated gpu and a separate pcie usb3 card to get useful performance and io. The other one had a slightly newer cpu and worked out of the box with no configuration at all, even usb 3.
As I didn’t have a Mac, I had to create my boot usb from windows. There is a script (gibmacos or something), but it forced me to use clover as the open core option was broken.
Countdown until Apple stops allowing people to download their OS.
it looks like it's impossible
Well since Apple moved to ARM silicon chips eventually they would stop supporting these legacy Operating Systems
If they ever manage to do that, then some other solution will be found. In the meantime, plenty of people will avoid being ripped off by apple’s insanely overpriced hardware.
@@rc-yApple isn’t the only manufacturer using arm chips. As intel’s are being used today, so will some arm flavour be used for the new generation hackintosh.
Can't believe you actually dictated the terminal commmand. Never seen this before
It was a powerful tutorial, thanks for the imformation.
epic case cooler position, nice air flow xD
Very nice, super neat and dual drives!
this is the best way to get into hackintosh on a budget
Ayee I had a feeling you were in Portugal from your previous videos. From a fellow Portuguese, I hope you enjoy it here.
Obrigado!
What this really points out is that Apple’s profit margins are exorbitant. Thanks for sharing your build.
Apple have by far the biggest profit margins in the industry. The average profit margin on a Windows PC is about 2.5%. Apple’s profit margin is about 43% - 17 times higher. If Apple were to sell their computers at the same profit margin as other computer manufacturers, an M2 Mac Mini would cost $349 instead of $599.
Dope build. Thanks for the step by step guide...
This is better than any screen flickering mac mini for home using and tracking some stuff in Logic Pro)))
This is very good tutorial, Obligardo!
Give this man a medal!
Great video, unfortunately I don’t already own a Mac and the installation process of Ventura looks a bit difficult.
Don’t worry, there are guides for everything and you don’t need a real Mac or hackintosh. You can setup a Virtual Machine and use that to build your boot stick
hello and thanks for the great video. I want to make a hackintosh now and I realized that the motherboard is no longer available. In your opinion, an MSI could always be fine but with the H610 chipset .. such as the H610M-E for example. I await your news, thanks again.
Does H610M-E work?
Hi Marco,
If you're using an H610 chipset motherboard, then you'll have a 12th or 13th gen CPU. The integrated UHD 7x0 graphics on 12th and 13th gen Intel CPU's aren't supported in macOS, so you need a dedicated graphics card. macOS Ventura and Sonoma support Polaris cards like the RX 560 / 570 / 580, Navi 5000 and 6000 cards like the RX 5600 XT, 5700 XT, 6600 XT, 6800 XT and 6900 XT.
The cheapest GPU natively supported by Sonoma is the RX 460, which you can buy for 30 - 40 Euros used.
@@BartechTV thank you for your answer, you have been very clear. I was able to create a hackintosh like yours because luckily I had an ASUS motherboard with the 410 chipset. At this point, if I want to make others, I'd better look for motherboards with that chipset because it's much cheaper than implementing a video card. Thanks again.
Such a clean video demonstrating a clean build, ❤. Wish Ryzen 3200G was this easy to setup xD
DAMN, you hacintoshers did it again! A+!
Nice build, back fan is bad plugged, this one put air from the back to inside, i recommend you make the airflow from the front to the back!
You should also be able to go itx for a little more on the mobo, and slip the whole thing inside an inwin b1 mesh, or a gamemax violin. They come with a psu and are the same price as your case and psu, but small enough to put in a lunchbox.
but then you wouldn't be able to add a GPU
¡Gracias!, tutorial válido para Sonoma 14.5 , la misma placa base y un i5 10400
Thanks for the review, will also build hackintosh soon 😊
Thanks for all your help. I was successfully able to run Ventura with i5-13600KF/B660M/RX 5700. The last thing I would like to do is transition from the USB and boot from the internal SDD. It seems possible according to sources out there, but I was curious to know how you approached it/ would approach it.
You just need to copy the contents of the EFI partition from the USB to the EFI partition on your SSD, as shown at 11:12 in the video. Then you can remove the USB and boot straight from your SSD.
@@BartechTV Oh man, I totally missed that...! Thank you, I'll give that a try.
Awesome build. performace per dollar.
Hi thank you for your great videos. please can you make also a tutorial for a dual boot hackintosh with Mac OS Sonoma and windows 11 ?
Just perfect like that!
Amazing video Thank you
Awesome
Excellent build, I love these kinds of videos. What monitor is that?
The monitor is LG 29UM59-P
2/20: I was able to finally write to this EFI folder, I use Clover to mount the drive and copy and paste the folder. Then, I use Open core to edit the config file and other options. Something is wrong with OpenCore nothing been able to mount but clover in conjunction with Open Core worked. Now, I get a stinky blinking cursor when booting to this flash drive. 2/19: EFI folder says read only permissions. Cant copy paste
You are the best
Hello ! Nice work ! (Bom trabalho). Can you add how to make a dual boot machine with it please. Thanks.
I have built several hackintosh.the current one is a 2130 h61 asus mobo and a gtc680 with catalina . I have a mac pro
amazing braaaavooooo
Nice build
I have two questions.
1. What if I can't arrange an existing mac to create bootable mac drive and running commands?
2. If I get the latest generation chipset, ram, and an external GPU, will the steps be the accurate same? Or some changes in process.
1. You can just use a PC.
Download the MacOS install disk image from Apple and write it to your USB drive using Balena Etcher (www.balena.io/etcher)
Mount the EFI partition using command line, by doing the following...
- Open command prompt
- type "diskpart"
- type "list disk" and look for your USB drive
- type "select disk x" (where x=your USB drive]
- type "list partition" and look for your EFI partition
- type "select partition x" (where x=your EFI partition)
- type "assign letter = E:" - mounts the EFI partition on your PC and assigns it the drive letter E, so you can open it, and copy your EFI folder / edit the plist etc.
The config.plist is just a text file, so you can edit it using any plist editor for Windows or in notepad.
2. On the Olarila site, download the right EFI for the CPU architecture you're using - ie. Comet Lake for 10th gen, Rocket Lake for 11th gen, Alder Lake for 12th or 13th gen.
If your CPU is 11th, 12th or 13th gen then you need to use a fake CPU id, which the Olarila EFI will take care of. You'll still have to ascertain what audio chipset you have and use the right audio layout. You can see a list of supported codecs and the layout id to use at github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs.
Determine which Ethernet controller your motherboard has and delete whatever kexts you don't need from the kexts folder and from the config.plist.
Don't get an eGPU if you're making a hackintosh. Just plug the GPU directly into a PCIe X16 slot on the motherboard. MacOS Ventura has drivers for RX 560, RX 570, RX 5700 XT, RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, RX 6800 XT, RX 6900 XT so they'll work out of the box. Just make sure you have Lilu and Whatevergreen kexts up to date.
@@BartechTV Hey dude, just wanted to say that I really appreciate you helping everyone out in the comments with extra info to make things work for them. It's a rare thing to see nowadays!
Amazing work! Have you done any macOS updates since your build? How complicated is it to do basic updates?
I've already upgraded from Ventura 13 to 13.1.
I updated OpenCore, and updated the kexts to the latest versions.
Then downloaded the update from the app store and did the update like a real Mac.
@@BartechTV sounds good. Would be great to have follow up video showing how to do this. Thank you 🙏
@@asd382 I agree. As someone who purchases real Mac's, but would like to not have to..... ;)
That is actually a really good keyboard! I however found I couldn't quite hit super glides on Apex Legends with it though, so I ended up repairing my old Logitech G Pro. :P
what is the keyboard?
REally nice altenative to the crazy prices of Apple
An RX 580/480 will also work in macOS, it’ll also handle GPU reset if doing it through vfio.
Hi, again. I just made a identical configuration just like you did. Please , can you upload your usb image with all instalation because i only have a windows .Thxxxxxxxy
So it is similar to 2018 MacMini? How much a 2nd hand macmini form that time costs theses days?
Glad that someone did an entry-level, economical Hackintosh build. I think this baremetal is better than any of the ProxmoxVE based builds. Does this setup have audio fully working i.e. for both audio-input and audio-output ? I wanted a Hackintosh only for Garageband, and the past experience with virtualized Hackintosh didn't permit that.
Oh and one more question, do you think that this method might work with a slightly older i5-8400 (which has only 6 cores and 6 threads), which has the same IGP (UDH630) ? I have it on a MSI H310M PRO-VDH motherboard with 16GB 2400MHz RAM, and a SATA SSD of 240GB. Would this require some changes in the OpenCore Configurator stage ?
Couldn’t tell you how it would change the install process but those specs would work relatively the same
I already have a Mac mini and ordered a new gaming PC. I was looking for a way to get the Mac operating system on this new PC and switch back into windows for gaming. Will def use this!
5:19 If you don't see the option to select the scheme (GUID), press Cancel, cmd+2 and try again. I stucked in here quite a while :-/
Nice!
you lost me at premade EFI mate, but thanks for the inspiration to pick up some 3 gen old hardware and a 6800xt and refresh my 7th gen build.
Thnx !!!
I replaced motherboard with Gigabytye H410M S2H V2 and case with Montech Air 100 Lite, as these are easier to find. I also added Fenvi T919 WIFI and Bluetooth card, making the total £250.
Everything else the same as the video? Can't find the MSI motherboard so I was thinking of trying your way :D
@@DennisWidehammar I already had that power supply, but it is the motherboard that is the biggest change.
I got the same card as you with an i5 10400 and got a black screen after the restart... Any idea ?
one thing I don't get is how one determines which kexts one will or won't need. please explain. thanks.
VirtualSMC.kext - required for the hackintosh to boot.
AppleALC.kext - required for audio.
WhateverGreen.kext - required for graphics.
Lilu.kext - required for the above kexts to work since they're Lilu plugins.
As for the rest, you need to look at what hardware is on your motherboard to decide which kexts you need and which you don't. For example, my motherboard has Intel ethernet, so I don't need the two Realtek ethernet kexts nor the Atheros ethernet kexts, so I delete them. I have no WiFi or Bluetooth, so I delete AirportBrxmFixup. I leave IntelMausi.kext since I have Intel ethernet.
@@BartechTV thanks! that makes sense. i've been googling around and every article i found, just says google more. 🙄 is there some consolidated list of kexts that explain what names go with what hardware?
If you have a read of dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ktext.html#kexts it does a decent job of explaining which kexts do what.
Nice video. Can you make a video where you do the initial process in Windows and then dual boot it in a machine with windows? Thanks in advance
Please do every operation to install the mac os, to the downloading in a window machine.

Great video, thanks for putting it together, unfortunately the processor and motherboard are no longer available on amazon. I don't want to get something that is incompatible, so now I'm stuck.
I also suggest if you can make video on this process using Windows computer not mac it would be a great help. thank you. :)
I like your monitor
Thank you.
I would say the back fan It's pulling air inside the case instead of pulling the hot air out, it should be facing out.
then their is the temp results
adding $300 for monitor and $100c for m+key+audio = 650-700 usd . But now in you can buy Air m1 for 730Euro/840$ and enjoy power/portability
but you can dual boot this to windows and you can upgrade it to a even more powerful CPU, GPU and add more RAM like a Mac Studio
@@lensboi1229 yes, that's true .
Thank you for the video. 🙂
1. Can you use the DVI port from the MB to connect a second screen?
2. Is the playback in FCPX smooth + without sound delays etc.?
1. Yes.
2. Yes, as long as you don't go crazy with overlaying multiple layers and effects - it is only a UHD 630 iGPU, after all. If you get a dedicated GPU then it is obviously a lot more powerful.
This is amazing. Can you please another version of this video where you use a Windows PC instead to make the hackintosh preparation?
Using the ventura environment to create another ventura doesnt help us Windows users much Please.

The sad thing is you used to be able to get Mac Minis with i5s in them for around this price 8 or 9 years ago., albeit with HDDs and meagre RAM.Hopefully they'll bring the M-series Minis down to such a low price someday
Yeah the Mac Mini was €499 here in Europe for years. It was a perfect price point for attracting new users to switch from Windows. At €729 the M2 is still a good price, but at €499 they would sell millions more, and increase macOS market share.
What do you think about the Mac Pro (2013) as a alternative? It’s getting cheaper (like $275 on USA marketplace) and it’s upgradable parts like ram and SSD. Unfortunately not gpu upgradeable… but I guess building a hackintosh has it benefits like upgradeable gpu and ddr4 ram slots!
I loved the design of the 2013 Mac Pro, but the problem is that to run Ventura you have to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher, and even then, there's no CPU power management and no DRM support. When you add in the need for ECC RAM, the Apple-specific SSD interface, and the inability to use standard graphics cards, I think for the money a hackintosh is a better choice.
Not worth it. Those cases are anti consumer. Just put Linux or Unix. Buy a macbook..
I have a budget of around £800 I think I’ll go with the same motherboard but I’ll definitely put a better cpu in, I don’t think I need a better power supply. for the gpu would a Radeon vii work or would a Radeon rx580 be better or a different gpu?
For cooling is it possible to add water cooling?
Thank you so much for the high detailed very well explained tutorial
Hi! Thanks for the nice and Clean Hackintosh guide and installation system. But I have a Question. What to do when I add a Graphics Card. Do I need to change the kexts or Plist? Please make a video on that
There's no need to change anything. So long as you're using a supported GPU, it should just work. WhateverGreen kext will handle configuration.
I don't know why this is getting recommended to me but I will build a Mini-ITX System double the price with i5-13500, 64GB and 2TB M.2 SSD.
I mount the EFI partition and can't copy EFI folder to the Partition, even used this command (sudo diskutil mount disk5s1)
Great video. This is great for someone with some parts lying around that want to get Mac experience cheap. Would upgrading to 32gb of RAM and or an i6 or i7 processor necessitate other steps?
Thanks. Upgrading the CPU or RAM wouldn’t require anything else to be done.
