# Hackintosh: ASUS ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming + AMD Threadripper 3960X
**macOS Sequoia 15.5**
**SMBIOS Model: MacPro7,1**
**OpenCore Version: 1.0.4**
---
## Overview
This project documents the installation and configuration of macOS on a high-performance AMD Threadripper platform, using the ASUS ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming motherboard and an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU. The goal is to achieve a fully functional system for creative tasks (audio, video, design) with support for most macOS peripherals and features.
> **Note:** This system is not recommended for software development requiring advanced virtualization (Docker, Xcode, Hyper-V, Android Studio, etc.), as the AMD architecture and lack of native Hyper-V support limit these capabilities.

## Installation
- There are two EFI folders: one for pre-installation and one for post-installation. Use the appropriate one according to your system state.
- Follow the motherboard manual to correctly connect devices and configure the BIOS.
- If you use Intel or BCM Wi-Fi cards, you must patch macOS with the `OpenCore-Patcher` app (see `Post Install` folder).
---
## Post-Installation
- Use the tools in the `Post Install` folder to monitor the system and apply necessary patches.
- It is essential to run `OpenCore-Patcher` to enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support for Intel and BCM cards.
