Another great hackintosh vid. I knew you were going to add a GPU to it, but buying a lot of them and then selling them back to lower costs was a twist I didn't see coming, haha. You've inspired me to do a cheap build like this. Very cool!
Man, You are inspiring. For about a month I plan to build a hackintosh, and You are the one who shows how. Still, wanted to know, are You planning to make video about WiFi adapters? Or You already did and I just haven’t seen it?
I just watched this video. I started to buy the components immediately. I love this video. Not because of it is cheap, but becuase of this is just genius. Thank you!
The author himself mentioned the advantages of hackintosh. Original Apple machines are outrageously expensive. In addition, as time passes, everything will be soldered on the board. You want to upgrade the hardware, it cannot. And not only that, but the components on the motherboard will be locked. In other words, there is no freedom. Which leads to the absurdity of buying expensive hardware that restricts you from improving it and adapting it to yourself. Why would you buy the same one then?
@@sundayevening161 they only use Mac for the software, the hardware of Macs is overhyped and not worth the money. That’s why hackintoshes are a great budget option
@@thepapnmapn6733 THIS. However hackintoshes are not widely known and most people think they have to do it themselves, they could pay someone else to install it.
Yes. Most will run macOS Sonoma. For Intel it needs to be from 7th gen to 10th gen for the graphics to work, or for Ryzen you need an AMD APU with integrated Vega graphics and NootedRed kext.

Thanks for your reply to the other video. I got myself a Fujitsu P520 E85+ with i7 4790, 16GB Ram, MSI Rx560 ITX Aero 4gb PciE powered, same PciE Adapter and NVME. I am considering a FENVI T919 Wifi, Bluetooth card(for later). This is my first ever try and have my fingers crossed, lets see if I make it work or end up burninf money. I too nervous but also excited at the same time. 😅 most likely I will try Ventura first. Your videos, your replies to comments and most importantly your calm voice gives me hope. Keep the good work going on!🎉
@Itsraminstech ruclips.net/video/GGy3V3YT6tI/видео.htmlsi=FstJbDOkvs5BlRO6 I did follow this video. Only after install, with one of the OCC, I corrected the Audio ALC ID, and using some boot mount tool, copied the EFI folder from USB Installer to hidden folder(partition) on the HDD which has Ventura. (Copied all thr folders where boot info is loaded on the hard drive partition, thus then it would boot without USB drive uninstalled). BTW, I added thr Fenvi wifi card later and it works without any issues. No configuration was needed. And Ram was upgraded to 32GB as well. Some tips, make sure that computer is connected to internet via Ethernet/Wired. Also I had mine windows drive completely disconnected physically.
That's a great build. I wish I could find similiar prices in these parts here in UK. I have a HP Compaq Elite 8300 CMT i7-3770 with 16GB RAM , SSD, Palit GTX 1660. Do you reckon it would work for a Hackintosh or shouldn't bother? Carry on the great work!
You can definitely get a PC with similar specs on Ebay UK for the same or less money. Just avoid the fixed price listings and follow the auctions. Here are a few that ended recently. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404480723543 - sold for £8.99 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404357824697 - Sold for £8.99 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134742207812 - sold for £12.50 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145239309982 - Sold for £12.90 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404446821648 - Sold for £14.50 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134742207339 - Sold for £15.00 Any of these could run macOS. MacOS Ventura and Sonoma need AVX2, which your i7-3770 doesn't have, and also macOS doesn't support Nvidia GPU's, only AMD. But you could still put together a similar build to this for £50-£60 or thereabouts that would run Sonoma and edit video very well.
HP, Dell, Lenovo - all are hackintoshable. The only reason I chose this Fujitsu was that it happened to be cheap at the time I was looking on Ebay. There's nothing special about it that makes it more hackintoshable than any other brand, so just pick whatever PC is cheapest. The only drawback with the SFF PC's is the inability to add a graphics card, which I why I tend to prefer the mini tower systems.

I would be very cautious with SATA power cables. It is known that molex to SATA power cables (molex to SATA, lose your data) can short out and catch fire. Something at how the molding can be difficult with how close together the SATA pins are when laid out. I want to say this is why SATA power cables you see on power supplies are angled or perpendicular to the connector.

Ok so I am new to this HACINTOSH RELM... I have an old Dell T7810 and wanted to install sonama OS14 on it. It has an Nvidia Quadro 5000 in it. Can I install Sanoma on this system?
well you can edit the smbios to support sonoma install, then after you install it on your dell, use opecore legacy patcher to patch that nvidia so it will somehow be usable
I have a spare i7 9700k, gigabyte itx motherboard and an Asus Amd rx5700xt GPU. 32 gb corsair ram and Samsung 970 evo plus nvme ssd. Do you think I could make those into a hackintosh?
Yes. You could make that into a hackintosh that would be a video and photo editing beast. The 5700 XT is about 50% faster than the M3 Pro. One thing I'd change is the SSD. WD drives play better with macOS than Samsung. Swap out the 970 EVO for an SN770 or SN850X and you have a killer hackintosh build.
can install mac os on a Intel Core Ultra 7-155U - 1080p - Windows 11? I would love to build a hackintosh but i am so out of my depth on the technical side that it would just be a waste of money for me.
I'm shocked at how abismal the performance is on the apple products compared to a 10 year old build that costs a fraction of the price, my lenovo w530 laptop has the same score as that macbook air even though it's from 2013 and I only paid 150 dollars for it
4th Gen or higher CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a compatible graphics card or iGPU (Kaby Lake or newer). If you have an unsupported iGPU (like the HD 4600 in this PC) you can still get it to work by running OpenCore Legacy Patcher after installation.
The 1660 TDP is 120w. So, with a maximum 75w from the PCIe slot and 54w from the SATA connector you’d be pushing it right to the limit. It may work but I definitely wouldn’t expect it to be stable for long gaming sessions.
I really enjoy your videos BarTechTV!! Great Job!! Maybe a weird question, but Can I buy one of these from you? :), with clean install MacOS sanoma? I live in the Netherlands and sending + extra costs is offcourse uppon me :). Tell me your price! I'm in :)
Man , please reply me...i really need your help. Please tell me combination of hardware for i5 13500 as you have suggested in your older videos...but pls tell all hardware. Keep it compatible for logic Pro especially
I got the low profile versión of this computar, same processor. Which low profile graphics card would you suggest to achieve this dedícated gpu hackintosh?
I was so stunned from your Video i bought a P420 and a RX 460 too to try it myself. Mine got the i5 4400 By factory. I can just copy your steps, am i right? One thing i would like to add would be AirDrop with wifi and bluetooth do you have a recommodation for that? Greetings from germany 👋🏻
To get working AirDrop you'll need a WiFi/Bluetooth card that uses the same Broadcom chipset that's used in real Macs. People most commonly use the Fenvi T919, which you can find on Amazon or Ebay, but any BCM94360-based card should work out of the box in Ventura. Apple dropped support for the Broadcom card in Sonoma, so if you install Sonoma you'll have to run OpenCore Legacy Patcher after installation to get WiFi/Bluetooth back.
If anyone wants to build something like this. And have a bit more to spare. I recommend getting a 6th or 8th gen i5. A lot better performance and even most sff office models. Even the micros have a native nvme slot 👍
I have the same CPU and intel HD graphic running on Ventura, if I add an RX 560, what I need to do? Only changing the SMBios to iMac Pro or anything else ?
You don't have to change the SMBIOS to iMac Pro. You could leave the iGPU enabled in the BIOS, use a regular iMac SMBIOS, and change the device-id for the iGPU to a "headless" one. If you do this, macOS will use the dedicated RX 560 for the display and use the iGPU for Quicksync video decoding, just like a real iMac. Or, you can disable the iGPU completely and use an iMac Pro or Mac Pro SMBIOS in which case MacOS uses the DGPU for everything, like on a real iMac Pro. In this case, you'd delete everything iGPU-related under device properties since there's no iGPU to patch. So, it's up to you which approach you want. I found video encoding / decoding to be faster using the DGPU so I chose the second method.
@@BartechTV I got it. So the RX 560 is plug and play without any other setting that must I do ? I would use the second method, how to delete the iGPU things? Can I use OCAuxiliaryTool ?
Only a Fujitsu power supply will work, because they use a special 16-pin PSU with 11v standby instead of a normal ATX PSU. You can buy an adapter on Ebay for ATX PSU's, although it's a bit expensive.
LOVE your vids man! You made me wanna try Sonoma in my haswell machine too, do you think is there anyway to just get it woking with only igpu and no external graphics card?
Yes, it'll work, you'll just need to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to get graphics acceleration working after installation since Sonoma doesn't support HD 4xxx series.
@@BartechTV I'm curious how well OpenCore Legacy Patcher actually works on Hackintosh machines as so far I've only heard of it being used on real Macs. I have a Dell OptiPlex 9020 currently running MacOS 12.7 I'll have to try it on.
@@zeroturn7091 SMBOIS is the problem, I two or three different ones which were supported and it worked! Although keep in mind the graphics is pretty slow
Hi - thanks for your great videos. I built a Hackintosh based on your guide from about 7 months ago. All worked fine and i recently installed Sonoma as well. But i recently put a in a new motherboard a MSI Z490 gaming plus. I'm struggling to get Hackintosh to boot. I think it might be a motherboard settings issue? Can you advise on any key Bios settings please
30-35 watts under low usage eg. web browsing, editing documents in Pages, etc. 105w under full load eg. benchmarking the GPU or exporting video from FCP. I pay €0.12/kWh so running costs are about €1/month if used for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Hi, I installed macos ventura and then I wanted to upgrade to sonoma, but after starting the pc it says something like radeonsensor, my GPU is RX570, do you know how to fix it? Thank you
RadeonSensor is a pair of kexts and an app for monitoring GPU temperatures in your status bar. If you don't need it just remove RadeonSensor.kext and SMCRadeonGPU.kext from your kexts folder and your config.plist.
Usually Apple supports Mac models for 5 years with OS updates. The last Intel Macs were released in 2020, so it's likely that macOS 16 next year will be the last to include Intel support, with macOS 17 in 2026 being ARM only. However Apple still provides security updates for another 2 years after support is dropped, so Intel Macs (and therefore hackintoshes) will likely still be able to run a currently supported version of macOS until 2028.
Hola tengo un problemita he comprado un M2 con su adaptador psi pero la bios no lo reconoce sin embargo cuando inicio Windows o Mac en otro disco si aparece pero en la bios no que hay que hacer para poder instalar un SO y arrancar desde el Agradecería Ayuda por favor Gracia
Boa tarde. Não sei falar ou escrever espanhol, mas vou responder em português. O BIOS dos computadores antigos não reconhecem SSD NVMe, então é necessário ter OpenCore instalado num SSD SATA ou um USB, junto com o driver NVMe do OpenCore "NvmExpressDxe.efi", dentro da pasta EFI/OC/Drivers. Assim, o computador inicializar desde o USB ou SSD SATA, e OpenCore carrega seus próprios drivers nvme, permitindo que você selecione a unidade nvme no instalador do Windows ou macOS.
You can install macOS Monterey or earlier but not Ventura or Sonoma since they require AVX2 instructions which were only introduced with Intel 4th Gen.
Top vid :-) Ah haa I have the same GPU in my Haswell hackintosh - managed to get it triple booting Big Sur, Win11 and Zorin (Linux) - Have you tried Zorin? it's a very polished OS, almost mac-like.
The PCI slot and BIOS will support anything. PCIe 4 cards will still work in PCIe 3 and PCIe 2 slots. You could put a 4090 in there if you wanted to. The problem is that premade desktops like this have a proprietary, low wattage power supply with no GPU power connectors. You can't even replace the PSU with an ATX one since they don't follow the ATX standard - the motherboard power connectors are proprietary. I was able to use a SATA to 6-pin adapter in this case, and it worked because the RX 460 card only pulls a very small amount of power from the 6-pin connector. But power hungry cards wouldn't work unless you powered them separately, perhaps by using a separate PSU outside the case.
@@BartechTV i find it a bit challenging to find a LP gpu with a good price,i spotted an RX460,do you think this is going to be futureproof or i will need to change the GPU at some point.
My hackintosh can’t boot without flashdrive. I have copy and paste the EFI file. But still, my bios doesn’t recognize it. Update: solved by adding my ssd using Bootx64.efi with new usb drive
Is your BIOS set to UEFI with secure boot off? Is your EFI exactly the same structure on the USB and desktop partition? Are you able to boot to the boot picker?

Ok so I am new to this HACINTOSH RELM...
I have an old Dell T7810 and wanted to install sonama OS14 on it. It has an Nvidia Quadro 5000 in it. Can I install Sanoma on this system?
No, MacOS has no Nvidia support, only AMD.
well you can edit the smbios to support sonoma install, then after you install it on your dell, use opecore legacy patcher to patch that nvidia so it will somehow be usable
Can you please search the Sonoma installer package link!
I have a spare i7 9700k, gigabyte itx motherboard and an Asus Amd rx5700xt GPU. 32 gb corsair ram and Samsung 970 evo plus nvme ssd. Do you think I could make those into a hackintosh?
Yes. You could make that into a hackintosh that would be a video and photo editing beast. The 5700 XT is about 50% faster than the M3 Pro.
One thing I'd change is the SSD. WD drives play better with macOS than Samsung. Swap out the 970 EVO for an SN770 or SN850X and you have a killer hackintosh build.
can install mac os on a Intel Core Ultra 7-155U - 1080p - Windows 11? I would love to build a hackintosh but i am so out of my depth on the technical side that it would just be a waste of money for me.
No, sadly macOS doesn't support the integrated graphics on Intel CPU's newer than 10th gen, so there's no way to install it on a Core Ultra 7.
Great Video. Congratulations . What is the motherboard model ? Thank you
The motherboard model is D3230-A13.
I'm shocked at how abismal the performance is on the apple products compared to a 10 year old build that costs a fraction of the price, my lenovo w530 laptop has the same score as that macbook air even though it's from 2013 and I only paid 150 dollars for it
Got it, vey nice, can I buy one from you….?how much, ship it to Canada?Please.
hello nice video is it possible to hackintosh a pc with a i5 3570k gtx 960 and if so what version of macOS would i need?
It wiil work with BigSur
Hey BarTech , What's the minimum System requirements for Hackintosh Ventura ?
4th Gen or higher CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a compatible graphics card or iGPU (Kaby Lake or newer). If you have an unsupported iGPU (like the HD 4600 in this PC) you can still get it to work by running OpenCore Legacy Patcher after installation.
Can you please help me upgrade my i3 Fujitsu to Mac please bro

How did you get all the parts for so cheap :( im in the uk and i cant find them for so cheap.
On Ebay Germany, mostly. Look for auctions and ignore the fixed price listings.
@@BartechTV I have actually found a p420 e85+ for 28.49 GBP and it has an i3, 8gb of ram and a Samsung 256gb ssd
I just bought one of these! Do you think I could use a GTX 1660 with the current PSU? Sata power included.
The 1660 TDP is 120w. So, with a maximum 75w from the PCIe slot and 54w from the SATA connector you’d be pushing it right to the limit. It may work but I definitely wouldn’t expect it to be stable for long gaming sessions.
@@BartechTV Thanks! I’m thinking about getting an atx PSU and an adapter. Quite expensive though.
@@BartechTV Do you know how I can fit a 600w PSU in there? I got the GTX 1660 but now I’ve got to get the right psu.

I got the low profile versión of this computar, same processor. Which low profile graphics card would you suggest to achieve this dedícated gpu hackintosh?

I was so stunned from your Video i bought a P420 and a RX 460 too to try it myself. Mine got the i5 4400 By factory. I can just copy your steps, am i right?
One thing i would like to add would be AirDrop with wifi and bluetooth do you have a recommodation for that?
Greetings from germany 👋🏻
To get working AirDrop you'll need a WiFi/Bluetooth card that uses the same Broadcom chipset that's used in real Macs. People most commonly use the Fenvi T919, which you can find on Amazon or Ebay, but any BCM94360-based card should work out of the box in Ventura.
Apple dropped support for the Broadcom card in Sonoma, so if you install Sonoma you'll have to run OpenCore Legacy Patcher after installation to get WiFi/Bluetooth back.
Trying to open a new tab in Chrome, wondered why it wasn't working, I was clicking the one in your video lol
If anyone wants to build something like this. And have a bit more to spare. I recommend getting a 6th or 8th gen i5. A lot better performance and even most sff office models. Even the micros have a native nvme slot 👍
Can you use Ryzen CPU’s for this. As I have a spare 1600 and 2600 currently. Just not sure since Apple used to use intel chips.

i seen on reddit that someone made the 550 worked, the title was, Making the radeon RX 550 4GB DDR5 to work on hackintosh
I have the same CPU and intel HD graphic running on Ventura, if I add an RX 560, what I need to do? Only changing the SMBios to iMac Pro or anything else ?
You don't have to change the SMBIOS to iMac Pro.
You could leave the iGPU enabled in the BIOS, use a regular iMac SMBIOS, and change the device-id for the iGPU to a "headless" one. If you do this, macOS will use the dedicated RX 560 for the display and use the iGPU for Quicksync video decoding, just like a real iMac.
Or, you can disable the iGPU completely and use an iMac Pro or Mac Pro SMBIOS in which case MacOS uses the DGPU for everything, like on a real iMac Pro. In this case, you'd delete everything iGPU-related under device properties since there's no iGPU to patch.
So, it's up to you which approach you want. I found video encoding / decoding to be faster using the DGPU so I chose the second method.
@@BartechTV I got it. So the RX 560 is plug and play without any other setting that must I do ?
I would use the second method, how to delete the iGPU things? Can I use OCAuxiliaryTool ?
hey man please reply to this i have same case i am thinking of upgrading my psu what type of psu for this case?
Only a Fujitsu power supply will work, because they use a special 16-pin PSU with 11v standby instead of a normal ATX PSU. You can buy an adapter on Ebay for ATX PSU's, although it's a bit expensive.
can you give me links for them?@@BartechTV
if i change the motherboard can i change psu?@@BartechTV
What's the point of using an nvme in a pcie2 x1 slot? SATA speed is better than this.
LOVE your vids man! You made me wanna try Sonoma in my haswell machine too, do you think is there anyway to just get it woking with only igpu and no external graphics card?
Yes, it'll work, you'll just need to use OpenCore Legacy Patcher to get graphics acceleration working after installation since Sonoma doesn't support HD 4xxx series.
Thanks, really appreciate replying 😄
May I know which SMbois would you use without the dgpu?
@@BartechTV I'm curious how well OpenCore Legacy Patcher actually works on Hackintosh machines as so far I've only heard of it being used on real Macs. I have a Dell OptiPlex 9020 currently running MacOS 12.7 I'll have to try it on.
@@drahrekot683I’ve patched my Sonoma (beta) Haswell T1700 with OCLP, and accelerated graphics still doesn’t work. This is a good question.
@@zeroturn7091 SMBOIS is the problem, I two or three different ones which were supported and it worked! Although keep in mind the graphics is pretty slow
How far the performance if i want to build hackintosh with i5 6500 + rx 570 4gb vs i5 4570 + rx 570 4gb ?
The 6500 would be 5 to 7% faster than the 4570. Likely not enough to even be noticeable.
@@BartechTV ok thank you very much, i really appreciate it 🙏, and do you think i5 8400 is sufficient for budget build ?
Yes for sure. The i5 8400 will be significantly faster than either the 4570 or the 6500 thanks to the extra cores.
how can i install macos on my pc? i have windows 11 already installed and i want to dualboot im stuck in the black part when i press the install macos
perhaps you have wrong bios settings or bad EFI
Hi - thanks for your great videos. I built a Hackintosh based on your guide from about 7 months ago. All worked fine and i recently installed Sonoma as well. But i recently put a in a new motherboard a MSI Z490 gaming plus. I'm struggling to get Hackintosh to boot. I think it might be a motherboard settings issue? Can you advise on any key Bios settings please
Depending on your cpu gen. There should be some settings in bios to be disabled
That’s impressive. What the power consumption of this build btw?
30-35 watts under low usage eg. web browsing, editing documents in Pages, etc.
105w under full load eg. benchmarking the GPU or exporting video from FCP.
I pay €0.12/kWh so running costs are about €1/month if used for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Hey mate - love your videos and am going to make a Hackintosh as a science project.

Hi, I installed macos ventura and then I wanted to upgrade to sonoma, but after starting the pc it says something like radeonsensor, my GPU is RX570, do you know how to fix it? Thank you
RadeonSensor is a pair of kexts and an app for monitoring GPU temperatures in your status bar. If you don't need it just remove RadeonSensor.kext and SMCRadeonGPU.kext from your kexts folder and your config.plist.
Are Radeon RX 500 series supported?
Yes.
any card to get the airdrop working on sonoma ?
Native Apple broadcom card with a PCIe adapter, or a Fenvi T919, along with OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
@@BartechTV really I thought t1919 airdrop isn’t supported on Sonoma
Yes that’s why you need OCLP. It re-adds support for the Broadcom chipset used on the Fenvi cards.
How much longer until the newest macOS is no longer x86 compatible
Usually Apple supports Mac models for 5 years with OS updates. The last Intel Macs were released in 2020, so it's likely that macOS 16 next year will be the last to include Intel support, with macOS 17 in 2026 being ARM only. However Apple still provides security updates for another 2 years after support is dropped, so Intel Macs (and therefore hackintoshes) will likely still be able to run a currently supported version of macOS until 2028.
Hola tengo un problemita he comprado un M2 con su adaptador psi pero la bios no lo reconoce sin embargo cuando inicio Windows o Mac en otro disco si aparece pero en la bios no que hay que hacer para poder instalar un SO y arrancar desde el Agradecería Ayuda por favor Gracia
Boa tarde. Não sei falar ou escrever espanhol, mas vou responder em português.
O BIOS dos computadores antigos não reconhecem SSD NVMe, então é necessário ter OpenCore instalado num SSD SATA ou um USB, junto com o driver NVMe do OpenCore "NvmExpressDxe.efi", dentro da pasta EFI/OC/Drivers.
Assim, o computador inicializar desde o USB ou SSD SATA, e OpenCore carrega seus próprios drivers nvme, permitindo que você selecione a unidade nvme no instalador do Windows ou macOS.
Muchas gracias lo probaré así gracias por tu tiempo

Hi؍ bar thech , i want you to make video build hackintosh with RTX 2060 , i have it but the Graphics card is not work 😢
macOS doesn't work with Nvidia cards, only AMD.
Can you pin link device to build it in here ?
What is the maximum GPU that you can install in this computef? Will the PCI slot and BIOS support an Nvidia RTX card?
The PCI slot and BIOS will support anything. PCIe 4 cards will still work in PCIe 3 and PCIe 2 slots. You could put a 4090 in there if you wanted to. The problem is that premade desktops like this have a proprietary, low wattage power supply with no GPU power connectors. You can't even replace the PSU with an ATX one since they don't follow the ATX standard - the motherboard power connectors are proprietary. I was able to use a SATA to 6-pin adapter in this case, and it worked because the RX 460 card only pulls a very small amount of power from the 6-pin connector.
But power hungry cards wouldn't work unless you powered them separately, perhaps by using a separate PSU outside the case.
RTX isn’t supported natively in the vanilla OS.
Hi can the ryzen 5 3400G work with hackintosh
Yes, it works using NootedRed kext
Take care maybe the hoy takes all power from the 6pin and none from the pci slot
since rx 570 is more expensive here, will gtx 5/6/7xx series work? whats the minimum gpu to run sonoma?
RX 460 is the cheapest GPU that is natively supported in Sonoma.
These GPU's work in Sonoma:-
RX 460 / 470 / 480
RX 560 / 570 / 580 / 590
RX Vega 56 / 64 / VII
RX 5500 / 5600 / 5700 / XT
