Hackintosher-High-Sierra-10.13-EFI.zip<\/a>
Unzip Hackintosher-High-Sierra-10.13-EFI.zip
Copy the unzipped EFI folder
Paste the copied EFI into your mounted EFI partition or \/Volumes\/EFI<\/p>\nStep 3: Configuring config.plist<\/p>\n
These mini steps need to only be followed if each condition applies. It\u2019s recommended that you do the initial install using integrated graphics for a problem free install, however I\u2019ve been able to install High Sierra using my RX 560. The changes will be made to the EFI folder you just pasted onto your flash drive in Step 2.
Step 3.1: Sky Lake, Haswell, Ivy Bridge users Only<\/p>\n
The default config.plist is configured for a Coffee Lake or Kaby Lake CPU. If you are using an older Skylake, Haswell or Ivy Bridge CPU then you will may need to make changes to the SMBIOS section located in config.plist in order to boot macOS by mimicking the properties of an older Mac. Skip this step only if using a Coffee Lake or Kaby Lake CPU.<\/p>\n
If you are using a Sky Lake or Haswell CPU:<\/p>\n
Navigate to \/Volumes\/EFI\/EFI\/CLOVER\/
Right-click config.plist
Select Open With Clover Configurator
Click SMBIOS on left column
Select the Up-Down arrow in the bottom right corner of Clover Configurator to change the SMBIOS depending on your CPU:
Sky Lake: Select iMac 17,1 or iMac 14,2
Haswell: Select iMac 14,2
Ivy Bridge: Select iMac 14,2
Save config.plist<\/p>\n
Step 3.2: Pentium users Only<\/p>\n
If you are using a Pentium processor such as the G4560\/G3258 you will in addition to following this step will need a Nvidia\/AMD graphics card to run your hackintosh as the integrated iGPU on Pentium CPU\u2019s are not currently supported on Hackintoshes.<\/p>\n
Follow Steps 1-4 of https:\/\/hackintosher.com\/guides\/hackintosh-intel-pentium-g4560-kabylake-processor\/<\/p>\n
Step 3.3: MSI Motherboard users Only<\/p>\n
MSI motherboards may require this step in order to boot macOS. If you are not using an MSI motherboard please skip this step and move to Step 4.<\/p>\n
Download OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi.zip.
Unzip OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi
Navigate to location \/Volumes\/EFI\/EFI\/CLOVER\/drivers64UEFI\/ of your mounted EFI partition
Paste OsxAptioFix2Drv-free2000.efi here
Delete OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi while in this folder<\/p>\n
Step 3.4: Gigabyte \/ ASUS Motherboard users Only<\/p>\n
A checkbox needs to be set in your config.plist in order to prevent the computer from restarting instead of properly shutting down. Follow this step only if you have a Gigabyte or ASUS motherboard otherwise move on to Step 4.<\/p>\n
Open config.plist with Clover Configurator
Highlight Acpi on left column
Under fixes check FixShutdown
Save config.plist<\/p>\n
Step 3.5: ASUS \/ ASRock \/ MSI \/ Motherboard users Only<\/p>\n
Open config.plist with Clover Configurator
Highlight Boot on left column
Under Arguments press the drop down arrow next to darkwake
Select darkwake = 1 if using an ASUS motherboard
Select darkwake = 8 if using an ASROCK or MSI motherboard
Save config.plist<\/p>\n
Step 3.6: USB Patch for High Sierra<\/p>\n
The config.plist needs a USB patch for High Sierra and the patch is different for each version of macOS High Sierra 10.13.0 to 10.13.6. A patch is included for 10.13.6 so those that downloaded from the App Store don\u2019t need to add any patch. If you downloaded a copy of macOS somewhere other than the App Store and it\u2019s not version 10.13.6 you will need to add or enable a USB port Limit patch for your specific version of High Sierra so that all USB ports work: List of Hackintosh USB Port Limit Patches<\/p>\n
Step 4 \u2013 Recommended BIOS Settings<\/p>\n
Restart your computer and press the DEL key or required key to enter BIOS when computer posts splash screen.<\/p>\n
Wit the EFI boot partition setup we now need to change some BIOS settings that are macOS and hackintosh friendly 🙂<\/p>\n
Recommendation: Check out the builds section and find a motherboard by the same manufacturer as you have. Then scroll down to it\u2019s BIOS settings to find the exact location of each setting that needs to be changed if your having trouble.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re motherboard may not have all of these settings and that\u2019s okay:<\/p>\n
Change the following settings:<\/p>\n
Virtualization : Enabled
VT-d : Disabled
XHCI Hand-Off : Enabled
Legacy USB Support: Auto\/Enabled
IO SerialPort : Disabled
Network Stack : Disabled
XMP Profile : Auto \/ Profile 1\/Enabled
UEFI Booting set to Enabled and set Priority over Legacy
Secure Boot : Disabled
Fast Boot : Disabled
OS Type: Other OS
Wake on LAN : Disabled<\/p>\n
Based on the GPU you\u2019re using change the following settings:<\/p>\n
Dedicated graphics card:<\/p>\n
Integrated Graphics : Disabled
Graphics: PEG\/PCIe Slot 1
Initial Display Output : PCIe 1 Slot<\/p>\n
Intel iGPU:<\/p>\n
Integrated Graphics : Enabled
Graphics: IGD\/Integrated\/iGPU\/CPU Graphics<\/p>\n
DVMT Pre-Allocated : 128M<\/p>\n
Note: If you set Primary Display to CPU Graphics and DVMT Pre-Allocated setting doesn\u2019t show. Save and exit BIOS and reenter and it should be there<\/p>\n
Setting Boot Device:<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll want to be using the USB Flash Drive as the primary boot device until your hard drive becomes bootable at the end of Step 6. There are two ways to go about doing this:<\/p>\n
Option 1: Press F8\/F11\/F12 on startup each time to select a temporary boot device until the boot partition on the drive you install macOS is configured. If you want to do temporary booting you will select the version of your USB Drive starting with UEFI: in it\u2019s name. (For example I used a SanDisk flash drive so I would select UEFI: Sandisk, Partition 1)<\/p>\n
Option 2: Enter BIOS and set Boot \u2192 Boot Option #1: UEFI : XXX (For example I used a SanDisk flash drive so I would select UEFI: Sandisk, Partition 1) This is easier if you don\u2019t want to spam F8 on startup every time to boot macOS.
Set Boot Option #1 ASUS BIOS<\/p>\n
This is where you would set the Boot Option in BIOS if you followed Option 2<\/p>\n
Press F10 to Save and Exit the BIOS
Step 5 \u2013 Installing macOS<\/p>\n
The next step is to install macOS and then after copy the EFI folder from your flash drive\u2019s boot partition over to the boot partition of the drive macOS is installed on. If you need to walked through the install follow: High Sierra Clover Install Walkthrough<\/p>\n
Note: Most people like to install new versions of macOS using integrated graphics. Since I included the files for AMD cards you may be able to install macOS like I did with the card plugged in. Some people may have trouble installing High Sierra with a Nvidia card plugged in. If you have one you may want to use integrated graphics and go back to the BIOS settings and configure for an iGPU.<\/p>\n
Hackintosh Post-Install<\/p>\n
Now that you have macOS up and running you should also be able to access the internet since the included Ethernet kexts are already in EFI\/Clover\/kexts\/Other However you may want to delete the ones you don\u2019t need as I included them all.
Step 6 \u2013 Improving Sleep<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t want your hackintosh turning on in the middle of the night you need to disable two settings.<\/p>\n
Open the Settings App
Click Energy Saver
Uncheck
Uncheck Wake for Ethernet Network access
Uncheck Enable Power Nap<\/p>\n
Energy Saver MacOS<\/p>\n
It\u2019s very important that you uncheck \u201cEnabled Power Nap\u201d and \u2018Wake for Ethernet network access\u201d so that your computer will wake properly from sleep and wont turn on the middle of the night.
Step 7 \u2013 Graphics Card<\/p>\n
If using a compatible graphics card then you will need to install the fixes to get hardware detection and acceleration.<\/p>\n
For AMD I\u2019ve already included the files necessary to get most AMD graphic cards like the RX 560, 570 and 580 working, but there are some extra steps like NVRAM detection and maybe ig-platform-id if using a KabyLake\/CoffeeLake CPU that need to be set: How to hackintosh AMD graphics cards in Sierra 10.12.6+<\/p>\n
To get Nvidia graphic cards working in High Sierra you need to enable SIP temporarily to prevent being locked out after the Web Drivers install see:
\u2192 How to properly Install Nvidia Drivers on High Sierra 10.13 \u2190
Step 8: Hackintosh Sound<\/p>\n
I setup the EFI folder for ALC1220 as that\u2019s the most common audio codec used for Kabylake motherboards. If you are using a different audio chipset codec such as ALC892, S1220A, ALC887, ALC1150 then all you need to do is change a single number to get audio working.

Step 9: HDMI Audio<\/p>\n
This is an optional step if you want toHDMI audio can be tricky to get working and is much more difficult with a Pascal Nvidia GPU:<\/p>\n
