For this build I wanted to use Mojave, since I find it to be a little faster and System Integrity Protection in Catalina is annoying.
- Get macOS Mojave (10.14.6) (see notes)
- Clover Install Package
- Clover Configurator Install Package
- The EFI area from this repo
- Build the USB Installer disk. Read the Vanilla guide
- Note that all guides seem to recommend a 16Gb USB drive (some even 32Gb!), I used 8Gb with no problems. FYI the Mojave install image is 5.7Gb on the USB drive. A USB3 drive will speed things up enormously
- Create the installer sudo «/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia» —volume /Volumes/USB
- Install Clover to USB Installer. Read the Vanilla guide
- Clone this repo and copy the Clover files onto your USB Installer. E.g.:
- git clone https://github.com/init4/gigabyte-z390-ud-thunderbolt-hackintosh.git
- Locate SSD & USB device diskutil list
- Mount USB EFI partition sudo mkdir /Volumes/efiusb
- sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk
/Volumes/efidisk - Remove existing Clover stuff rm -rf /Volumes/efiusb/EFI/CLOVER/*
- Copy my repo config on cp -r ./gigabyte-z390-ud-thunderbolt-hackintosh/EFI/* /Volumes/efiusb/EFI/
- Use Clover Configurator to edit config.plist, and generate real serial numbers/uuid so iMessage/etc will work
- Update BIOS, I used F9.
- Configure BIOS
- Load Optimized Default Settings
- BIOS → Windows 8/10 Features: Other OS
- BIOS → CSM Support: Disabled
- Chipset → VT-d: Disabled
- Chipset → Internal Graphics: Auto
- Chipset → Above 4G Decoding: Enabled
- Peripherals → Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT): Disabled
- Peripherals → Legacy USB support: Enabled
- Peripherals → XHCI Hand-off: Enabled
- Peripherals → Port 60/64 emulation: Enabled
- Peripherals → Network stack: Disabled
- Peripherals → Security device support: Disabled
- Peripherals → Super IO configuration → Serial port: Enabled (see notes)
- Peripherals → Thunderbolt → Security: Disabled (IMPORTANT — see notes)
- Peripherals → Thunderbolt → USB: Enabled
- Power → Platform Power Management: Enabled
- Power → PEG ASPM: Disabled
- Power → PCH ASPM: Disabled
- Power → DMI ASPM: Enabled
- Power → ErP: Enabled
- Install macOS
- I already had a Mojave image and ran into this when I tried to install 🙄
- Fixed by setting the system date back to 2018 for the install (wont happen for a fresh download)
- Create EFI partition for Hackintosh
- locate SSD & USB’s disk no. by diskutil list
- Create EFI partition for Hackintosh sudo mkdir /Volumes/efidisk
- sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk
/Volumes/efidisk - Mount USB’s EFI partition sudo mkdir /Volumes/efiusb
- sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk
/Volumes/efiusb - Copy clover settings from USB cp -R /Volumes/efiusb/* /Volumes/efidisk
- Enjoy, if you find any errors or this page helped get your Thunderbolt device going let me know
Nearly everything works as far as I can tell; GPU, Network, Bluetooth, Audio, USB. iMessage works, GPU supports Metal, Homekit works. It was pretty painless.
What doesn’t work
The USB hub built-in to the Thunderbolt display will not wake from sleep. To wake it up again you must power cycle everything, including unplugging the screen for 30 seconds while the PC is off. For now I have just disabled sleep.
Get macOS patcher to make it easier to download the macOS install packages. Finding direct links to the full installer isn’t easy.
If you are going to Hackintosh a Gigabyte Z390 UD, save yourself some time and upgrade the BIOS before you start, I wasted a couple of hours trying with F3 BIOS. Also, don’t try to boot the installer from the front USB ports, this always failed in my experience. Note that the Gigabyte F9 and onward BIOS wont let you disable the SuperIO serial port (menu option is gone). This didnt seem to matter, even though others recommend disabling it.
My research would indicate that Thunderbolt 1 & 2 don’t implement security, and I couldn’t make the Thunderbolt Display’s in-built USB hub work while Thunderbolt security was enabled.
Also note that I have deliberately used the Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt 3 controller, because of the issues described here it is doubtful that a Titan Ridge controller will ever work properly with an Apple Thunderbolt display.
Once you have everything installed and set up properly, you can edit the Clover config.plist to remove verbose boot. This speeds up booting.
Performance is similar to a real iMac Retina or iMac Pro, and would keep up with many Xeon Macs. Certainly build cost is far cheaper than a real Mac. As an experiment I will see what I can do with overclocking.
- Overclocking
- Add some info on my software RAID setup
My build was helped out by reading experiences from these guys, and messing with their Clover configs.

What doesn’t
Have I missed anything?
Overall I am very happy with this build as it is a huge step up from my ancient 2012 MacBook Pro. I couldn’t justify the cost of a new MacBook and this Hackintosh provides me with all the specs I wanted without the cost. For daily usage (browsing, Netflix etc) I will just use my iPad.
I love macOS, my first computer was a Bondi Blue iMac, but as of late Apple’s hardware has been underwhelming and overpriced (maybe the new 16 inch is an exception?) so I didn’t want to go down that route. This new rig will be used for recording and video editing. The only regret on the hardware side is perhaps the case as it is way bigger than I expected, there is a lot of empty space in there. Still looks good though.
I haven’t built a Hackintosh since they were patching the kernel so this was a breeze in comparison. Thanks to the many posts on this subreddit for making it so.
PS. My EFI etc can be found here Edit: sorry should work now, forgot to set it to public. Apologies

> Gigabyte Z390 UD Only 7Mb UHD630 Mojave 10.14.2
grib666
Hi,
I spent more than 30 hours trying to find a solution, but no way.
I’ve already built 9 Hackintoshes in the last ten years and I’ve never had such problems.
However, I bought this hardware according to the Tonymac’s Buyer’s Guide. I thought I could trust it (usually I could).
CustoMac Budget ATX : Gigabyte Z390 UD + Core i3-8100
I have audio working, LAN, but no video. Only 7Mb VRAM.
First I’ve installed the system with UniBeast (with a modified config.plist and OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi driver ’cause I couldn’t boot with the base setup).
Then I installed kext for audio, LAN and graphics and set the config.plist with clover configurator. Everything was OK except the Intel UHD Graphics 630 7 Mo.
So I tried this tutorial for enabling uhd 630 : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/. 390-thunderbolt-3-i7-9700k-amd-rx-580.267551/
Mobo is very close, so I thought it could help.
Well, it helped for video (1536VRAM now), but no audio and mouse very slow during more than one minute after startup.
Then, I’ve tried a lot of combinations (MacOS 10.13.6, 10.14, 10.14.2, 10.14.4, different config plist settings, different kexts, different Framebuffer patching) and nothing works. I can have sound or video, but not both!
Here is my config :
Mojave 10.14.2
Gigabyte Z390 UD
Core i3-8100
Crucial SSD MX500 1To
Crucial 8GB DDR4-2400
Corsair CX450 80PLUS Bronze
Thanks in advance, I’m really lost!
I built this config for a friend who can’t afford a real Mac, but really need it for work. I can’t imagine telling her she spent 700€ for nothing

(SUCCESS) Gigabyte Z390 UD -Open Core 0.6.3
nottooshabby
This will be a work in progress, so check back for updates. There isn’t a lot of build info for the Gigabyte Z390 UD motherboard so when I got it up and running earlier this year I cobbled together a clover configuration that has worked fine using some help from another thread, but I did not believe it would work with Catalina. I took it on as a project for both my computer(Z390 Gaming M) and my son’s(Z390 UD) to build an open core EFI from scratch so I would understand the setup better.
This is an EFI built from scratch using the open core configuration guide for 0.6.3. Intended use is for a Gigabyte Z390 UD with dGPU(RX580 or similar. I am using Sapphire Pulse Rx580) and uses the iMacPro1,1 SMBIOS description.
I was able to use this EFI with both Mojave, and then update using software update to Catalina 10.15.7.
This EFI uses NVRAM. BIOS should be updated to F10J with the config lock disabled.
Recommended BIOS settings are below.
- Advanced CPU Settings → VT-d → Disabled
- Advanced Mode > Settings > IO Ports > Initial Display Output > PCIe 1 Slot
- Advanced Mode > Settings > IO Ports > Above 4G Decoding > Enabled
- Advanced Mode > Settings > IO Ports > USB Configuration > XHCI Hand-off > Enabled
- Advanced Mode > Boot > CSM Support > Disabled
- Settings > IO Ports > Super IO Configuration > Serial Port > Disabled
- Boot > CFG Lock > Disabled
- Boot> Operating System>Windows 8/10
- IGPU — >Disabled
Open core recommends some other settings which I used but I don’t believe are critical as the ones above. I will post these later.
A few things. If you are moving from Clover, I would recommend clearing NVRAM after you reach the open canopy picker screen. Then once you boot into MacOS set your startup disk to your Mojave or Catalina installation.
If you set the picker to «Built-in» and uncheck show picker, it will boot up faster, but if you want to be able to switch between windows and macOS, then keep the picker.
Using Open core configurator, open the config.plist and either copy in your UUID and serial number or generate new ones. These values have been cleared in the attached EFI. If you switch from Clover you will need to sign into iCloud again.
The USB ports are mapped using a aml file I found in another post.
> — Gigabyte Z390 UD Only 7Mb UHD630 Mojave 10.14.2
This USB aml file I also used with clover and has been working fine.
Update 9/10/21: The OpenCore 0.6.7 EFI is posted in #13 . I recommend using this one as it should work better with Big Sur. Download the appropriate OpenCore Configurator to set your Serial#s.

Looking for my original Clover guide? It’s still available right here.
Hackintosh Catalina Guide for Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (OpenCore)
This build is «Vanilla». I used this guide as a starting point.
What’s Working/What’s Not
- Ethernet
- Onboard Audio (including digital audio)
- APFS
- Sleep/Wake
- All USB ports at 3.x speed
- iMessage
- App Store
- Facetime
- APFS
- Handoff
- Bluetooth & Wi-Fi (via Broadcom adapter)
- Unlock with Apple Watch
- Airdrop
- AirPlay
- Continuity
- ALL DRMs:
- iTunes Movies (FairPlay 1.x)
- Netflix (FairPlay 2.x/3.x)
- Some Amazon Prime content, but not all. (FairPlay 2.x/3.x)
- Apple TV+ (FairPlay 4.x)
- Power Nap
- NVRAM
Not Working (as expected)
- Built-in WIFI. This will very likely never work since it is the new Intel CNVi that macOS doesn’t support.
- Onboard Bluetooth. I disabled it (HS14) because I have a natively supported Broadcom BCM94360CS2 WIFI/BT adapter anyways.
Step By Step Instructions
My old Clover guide used to have Step by Step instructions but I decided not to write such instructions here for two reasons: it’s a pain to keep up to date, and I literally just followed the OpenCore Desktop Guide. When in doubt, just look at my KEXTs, drivers and config.list for guidance.
