MSI z490m Gaming Edge Hackintosh OpenCore-based EFI

Hardware:

  • MSI z490m Gaming Edge
  • Intel i7-10700 (non-k)
  • XFX RX590 Fatboy (no bios flash required)
  • Patriot Viper 4 Blackout 16 GB (8x2)

BIOS Settings:

  • Above 4GB MMIO BIOS Assignment: Enabled
  • Internal Graphics: Enabled
  • Fast Boot: Disabled
  • Secure Boot Mode: Standard
  • Wake Up Event By: OS
  • Above 4G memory/Crypto Currency mining: Enabled
  • IGD Multi-Monitor: Enabled
  • Extreme Memory Profile(XMP): Enabled
  • Intel Virtualization Tech: Disabled
  • CFG Lock: Disabled (Below are my system specific and can be ignored)
  • Long Duration Power Limit: no limit (95 for testing)
  • Short Duration Power Limit: no limit (95 for testing)
  • CPU Fan1 type: PWM
  • level 1 T: 30
  • level 2 T: 50
  • level 3 T: 60
  • level 4 T: 75
  • level 1 S: 38
  • level 2 S: 65
  • level 3 S: 90
  • level 4 S: 100
  • SYS Fan1 Smart Fan Control: ENabled
  • SYS Fan1 type: PWM
  • level 1 T: 30
  • level 2 T: 50
  • level 3 T: 60
  • level 4 T: 70
  • level 1 S: 50
  • level 2 S: 68
  • level 3 S: 90
  • level 4 S: 100

What Works:

  • Sleep/Wake
  • Shutdown
  • Onboard Bluetooth
  • 2.5G Ethernet (must use attached patched kext) (must force select a speed -- which you need to do by going to System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet -> Advanced -> Hardware -> Speed: (select 1000baset if you are using a 1000t bridge/router))
  • Sound (updated to use AppleALC audio kext)
  • iMessage
  • Continuity/Handoff
  • Quicksync hardware acceleration via iGPU
  • All USB 3 and 2 ports
  • Power management

What Doesn't Work:

  • Onboard Wifi ax card

Odd items:

  • AAPL: [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] error on startup until leveraged a boot patch included in the config.plist

Other notes (mostly hardware-specific notes to self):

  • 3200Mhz rated ram is unstable when clocked to 3333Mhz (3200 XMP works though)
  • i7-10700 CPU clocked with power limits removed reaches 72C @ 75F ambient during R20 with score of 4826
  • Clocking the CPU to 102.9Mhz yields slightly higher speed for CPU and ram (around 3300Mhz) and appears to also run stable
  • RX590 works without any special setup and runs relatively cool at around 50-60C at idle
  • CPU at idle runs around 30-40C @ 70-80F ambient
