I also installed it immediately and it broke a few things - no WIFI, no Bluetooth, No Audio, No 2nd monitor (Titan Ridge 2.0), - my review is that it has NOTHING new really and not worth the update right now anyway. Also, I went back to Monterey. Ventura and Sonoma seemed to use more memory and slower than Monterey. Im running a Asus Z690, 12th Gen cpu, RX6600 VGA.
Hackintosh always looks great until you notice your clock is wrong and the bluetooth doesn't work. I've wasted weeks on Monterey. Maybe not 'dead' just too frustrating.
I am impressed that you already have installed the new system! I have old Mac Pro 5.1 (2012) and stuck with Monterey. Ventura will give issues even with USB-ports. I have thoughts of building Hackintosh but haven’t the skills to build a computer, I have most parts but not the knowledge.
my 1st computer build was a hack in 2021....using @technolli vids...my 1st computer build EVER!!!! if I can do it you can also, just gotta jump out on a limb and try...
you only ever show the conventional programs that run on a Hackintosh. But what happens if I run Logic Audio on it, for example? The problem with older Macs that don't have a Metal graphics card is that the timeline isn't displayed. It's exactly the same with video editing programs. This should be presented better so that it works on your systems too. That way you have a better sales argument for building a Windows PC as a Hackintosh. That everything works perfectly. I run a recording studio and newer Macs are just too expensive. This would be the right alternative to a PC and not a Mac as a laptop.
No problems here, bought efi from technolli and installed sonoma on my music production pc. Logic runs perfectly on the machine. I do have an m1 macbook Base model and now is only a backup as my PC has a i714700k cpu and 64gb ddr5 ram, plenty of storage for samples and vsts. I'm over the moon with this machine. Do it, you won't regret.
There is an issue with that configuration, those purple lines during the verbose popping up is a tell tale sign as well as the freeze, my Z490 runs as smooth as Ventura and boot time is a lot quicker. The only thing missing is lack of Wifi which I am hoping will be sorted soon with OCLP.
Hey I wanted to ask since I know that you're also into music, Ive wanted to upgrade my Hack so rn im running a 9700k and wanted to upgrade to socket 1700 => I do orchestral stuff and some uni I think a 12700kf would be enough (On sale rn for 200€) or would you rather go for a 14700kf (370€ rn) ?
The version before Seqoiua I still had running on a Gigabyte Brix of about 6 years old. It became a bit slower now. It's not comparable with speed of a Mac or a newer PC, but it did run ok. Just used it for Android Studio to be able to build for iOS. So going to try it again on a new Asus laptop.
Now why would you want to do this? Only reason I can think of are Happy Tinkering for many hours, Just for the fun of it, and thats fine. Each his own hobby. You are not saving money. If you spend the hours of getting everything up and running on actual work, like fixing other peoples PC's you would be able to buy a M-Series mac.
I buy and resell laptops. Each one I touch and repair I install Win and macOS just for the fun of it. I reformat to Windows before selling. It's like therapy to me.
