        # ASUS B460 Strix ITX OpenCore EFI

## 🚨 Notifications

This is project is **DEPRECATED**, and no longer under maintenance. However, contributions are still welcome.

The Hackintosh is based on OpenCore `0.7.9` at the time of writing, and `macOS Monterey 12.3` following the Dortania [Dortania Guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/) for [Comet Lake](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config.plist/comet-lake.html#starting-point).

Hackintosh EFI for `ASUS ROG STRIX B460I` + `Intel Core i7 10700` + `BCM94360CS2 Wireless Air Port Card`

#### Important Notes

Since `MacOS 12.3+`, if your GPU is based on `Navi` Architecture (5500XT, 5700XT, 6000 Series), then you will need `frame buffer` patches to your EFI.

- Reference: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/macos-12-3-update-causes-problems-for-5700-6700-6800-6900-graphics-cards.319421/page-14

- Under `DeviceProperties` add your GPU device information and add the frame buffer patches associtated to your card. You may find the samples in the `GPU Patches` directory

## Hardware

* Case: NZXT H1 Case ( come with AIO cooler, 650W power supply and PCIE Riser Card )

* Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B460-I

* WiFi module: BCM94360CS2 Wireless Air Port Card (Driverless)

* CPU: Intel Core i7-10700

* GPU: Intel UHD630 and Sapphire Pulse RX 5500 XT

* RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 3000 32GB(16G×2)

* Storage: Western Digital SN750 512GB M.2-2280 NVME

## Details

### BIOS

There is no CFG-lock issue with this board. Installing BIOS version 0707 is worth it as it enables higher resolutions in the boot loader screen for me.

Things I changed from default:

* Fast boot: OFF

* Intel Virtualization Technology: ON

* OS type: Windows UEFI

* Multi Monitor support: ON

* Clear the platform key as this disables secure boot.

### SSDTs

Compiled by following the [Dortania's ACPI Guide](https://dortania.github.io/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/)

* SSDT-AWAC (enable the legacy RTC clock)

* SSDT-EC-USBX (Fix embedded controller)

* SSDT-PLUG (Power management)

* SSDT-RHUB (reset USB controller)

* SSDT-SBUS-MCHC (SMBus support)

* [SSDT-RX5700XT](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/amd-radeon-performance-enhanced-ssdt.296555/) (Better support for RX5600/5700)

### Kexts

Download them from their official repo

* [AppleALC.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC) - Audio

* [FakePCIID.kext](https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Fake-PCI-ID) and FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext - Also needed for audio to work

* [IntelMausi.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/IntelMausi) - Ethernet

* [Lilu.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/Lilu) - Enables various patching

* [NVMeFix.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/NVMeFix) - Better NVMe support

* [VirtualSMC](https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC) SMCProcessor.kext, SMCSuperIO.kext, VirtualSMC.kext - SMC emulator

* USB-Map.kext - Available from the kexts folder in this repo. This maps the 6 USB3 ports and the two internal ones used for Bluetooth and the Aura header. See USB section.

* [WhateverGreen.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen) - Various graphics related patches

* [XHCI-unsupported.kext](https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-USB-Inject-All) - There is a patched version of this in this repo. Needed for USB3 to work.

* [DAGPM.kext](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/amd-radeon-performance-enhanced-ssdt.296555/) - Better power management for AMD Navi GPUs.

* [HibernationFixup.kext](https://github.com/acidanthera/HibernationFixup) - Added this back as it seems like my computer crashed when in sleep mode for more than 24h. Need more testing to see if this fixes it though.

### USB

This board has two USB controllers. The Intel one that drives the 6 USB3 ports on the rear panel as well as Bluetooth and the Aura header. I'm not using the internal USB ports - so the supplied USB Map will not map these. Currently 14 ports are mapped - so there is room for one more logical port. The second controller is for the rear USB-C port and it doesn't need a USB map.

The front USB ports that I didn't map have the following IDs (thanks to [zhzhzh88](https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/hbcdgq/asus_rog_strix_b460i_gaming_mobo_hackintosh/g8cmw5b?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)):

* HS01, port 0x01 (USB2)

* HS02, port 0x02 (USB2)

* SS01, port 0x11 (USB3)

* SS02, port 0x12 (USB3)

In addition to the USB-Map.kext you also need the modified `XHCI-unsuported.kext` to enable USB3 ports.

### Note on Navi GPU

I found that installing the kext and SSDT from [here](https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/amd-radeon-performance-enhanced-ssdt.296555/) not only improves Geekbench scores (see below), but also real world performance in Mafia III. Without it the GPU seemed to thermal throttle after a few minutes of playing and the frame rate would drop really low. Interestingly I did not see this happen with [Unigine Heaven](https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven) which is much harder on the GPU.

### Config.plist

#### Kernel

 Quirks > DisableRtcChecksum = TRUE - This prevents the BIOS from restarting into safe mode

 Misc > Boot > HibernateMode = Auto - Not sure if this is necessary. The machine sleeps fine without this, but maybe this enables deeper hibernation.

 All other settings follow the Dortania guide.

#### PlatformInfo

I used the iMac19,1 SMBIOS because that was what the guide recommended at the time. It has now been updated to use iMac20,1 instead. So I would use this for a new build. But since I haven't found any issues with iMac19,1 I see no reason to change it.
