Ryzentosh

Hackintosh OpenCore EFI for AMD Ryzen running OS X on Gigabyte B550i Aorus Pro AX.

Specification

Component	Model
CPU	AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8-Core)
RAM	32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 @3200MHz CL16
Mobo	Gigabyte B550i Aorus Pro AX (rev 1.0) BIOS F17
Graphics	Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 6600 8GB GDDR6 (Navi 23)

OpenCore version: 1.0.1

Compatible macOS versions

• Ventura (13.6.9)

What Works

• Wi-Fi : Intel AX200
• Bluetooth : Intel AX200
• Ethernet : 1 Gbps
• HDMI/DisplayPort
• Internal/External audio jacks
• Sleep/Wake up (fixed on any BIOS now!)

Issues/Workarounds

• "Memory Modules Misconfigured" when OSX has booted : change SMBIOS from iMacPro 7,1 to iMacPro 1,1.
• Low FPS on gaming:
  • Changing from "uXcCAAC4BgEHALoGAQcADx9AAA==" to "uXcCAAC4BgYGBroGBgYGDzAPCQ==" in "algrey - mtrr_update_action - fix PAT" section gives pretty much better performances, but sound crackling appears when using HDMI/DP audio... AMD-OSX/bugtracker#5. So, enable only one of these Kernel patches:
    • Shaneee - mtrr_update_action - fix PAT [my default] : Full FPS on gaming but issues using HDMI/DP audio.
    • algrey - mtrr_update_action - fix PAT : Audio works fine but you'll get low FPS on gaming.
• Don't have volume control when using HDMI/DP : Use MonitorControl app.

How to use

1. Make your USB installer with this guide sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ YOUR\ VERSION.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB --nointeraction
2. Clone the repository and paste "BOOT" and "OC" directories into your's pendrive "EFI" folder
3. Download GenSMBIOS to generate unique SMBIOS information. Run it and follow all steps, as the model select iMacPro1,1 5.
4. Boot it!

You CAN NOT use SMBIOS from this repository, it MUST be unique for every macOS installation

BIOS

• Update to F12 version (later versions have issues with sleep) Update to F17.
• Save & Exit → Load Optimized Defaults
• Tweaker → Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P) : Profile1
• Tweaker → Advanced CPU Settings → SVM Mode : Enabled (only if you need virtualization)
• Settings → Platform Power → Wake on LAN : Disabled
• Settings → IO Ports → USB Configuration → XHCI Hand-off : Enabled
• Settings → IO Ports → Above 4G decoding : Enabled ¡THIS ONE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO AVOID KERNEL PANIC AT BOOT!
• Settings → IO Ports → Re-Size BAR Support : Auto
• Settings → Miscellaneous → IOMMU : Auto
• Boot → Fast Boot : Disabled
• Boot → CMS Support : Disabled
• Boot → Secure Boot → Secure Boot : Disabled

Hints

• To disable SIP enter in recovery mode an run "csrutil disable" in terminal.
• If you've dual boot:
  • To enable macOS-only SMBIOS injection:
    • Kernel → Quirks → CustomSMBIOSGuid → True
    • Platforminfo → CustomSMBIOSMode → Custom
  • To have UTC clock and fix Windows 10 issues : DualBoot/UniversalTimeFix.reg
  • Disable Fast Boot on Windows 10 : DualBoot/DisableFastBoot.reg
  • NTFS r/w support : brew install ntfs-3g; brew cask install mounty
