DISCLAIMER: YOU'RE NOTHING BUT AN A-HOLE IF YOU SELL EFI FOLDER (CONFIG) THAT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR FREE OF COST. DON'T DO THAT.

X79/LGA2011 Hackintosh High Sierra EFI for E5-2650 & GTX 960.

Fork or star, it's your call. You need to modify a lot if your system specs are different. I use an Ant Country chinese motherboard. Very similar to Huanan X79. You can refer to this guide if you've a Huanan X79 mobo.

Also note that I've set my system memory info within the SMBIOS in clover. You should edit that.

X79 E5-2650 Hackintosh!

#README

  • Proceed with caution.
  • Kindly delete the VoodooHDA from kexts/Other if AppleALC is working.
  • N/A for Opencore bootloader. Go ahead though, if you know what you're doing.
  • I haven't tested these settings against the latest version of Clover.

The EFI folder is applicable for Vanilla approach and SSD hot-swap (just replace/paste EFI folder - not recommended though.) Use this EFI if mine isn't working. But then you'll to tweak a lot.

What Doesn’t Work?

  • Sleep/wake
  • FaceTime/iMessage (maybe, haven't tested yet though)

I've used neofetch to display system specs via Terminal.
