## PC specification

| Part  | Info |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Mainboard | Gigabyte H81M-DS2 (rev3.0), BIOS version F2  |
| CPU:  | Intel Xeon E3-1241 v3 (Haswell, 3,50GHz up to 3,90GHz, 4 core 8 thread)  |
| RAM:  | 8GB (2x4GB 1333MHz DDR3)  |
| GPU:  | NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050 (GP107, 128bit, 2GB GDDR5), driver support only up to macOS Sierra, High Sierra .(*) |
| GPU (old):  | NVIDIA Geforce GT 730 (GK208B, 128bit, 2GB GDDR5), natively support in Mojave, Catalina. (**) |
| Disk:  | Netac SSD 128GB, WD Blue 256GB  |
| Network: | Realtek RTL8111 |
| Sound:  | Realtek ALC887 (best layout-id in my build is 3)  |
| SMBIOS:  | iMac15,1  |


| Windows  | macOS |

| ![dxdiag windows spec](images/systeminfo_win.png "System specfication") | ![hackintool spec](images/systeminfo_mac.png "System specfication")  |

## Compatible with

- [x] Windows 10
- [x] macOS Monterey Beta 1
- [x] macOS Big Sur
- [x] macOS Catalina
- [x] macOS Mojave
- [x] macOS High Sierra (*)
- [x] macOS Sierra (*)
- [x] Mac OS X El Captain

Notes:

(*): WebDriver is required when using these macOS versions.

(**): macOS 12 Monterey does not support iMac15,1 or older SMBIOS, use iMac16,1 (if you only have iGPU) or iMac17,1 (if you have dGPU).

(**): Apple dropped support for Kepler NVIDIA graphics cards since Monterey Beta 7, so you need be cautious, if you in Monterey < Beta 6, don't update to Beta 7 or just go back to earlier version like Big Sur, Catalina,...

## What is working

- [x] Microphone (pink 3.5mm input)
- [x] Speaker (green 3.5mm input)
- [x] Ethernet (en0)
- [x] Services (App Store, Apple Music,...)
- [x] Graphics card*
- [x] Intel QuickSync/Hardware Acceleration
- [x] USB 2.0/3.0
- [x] Bootcamp**
- [ ] You tell me.

Notes: 

(*): GT730 (Kepler) is natively support in Catalina, other NVIDIA card please check before install Mojave or above.

(*): You may have screen flickering sometimes, add agdpmod=pikera in boot-arg may fix it. 

(**): If Bootcamp don't work in your machine, you need select another OS disk in UEFI settings to boot another OS.

## Guide for low-end CPUs
+ Because macOS doesn't provide support for low-end CPUs like Pentium, Celeron, so we need to use the Fake CPUID and some changes, patches for that CPU to boot in MacOS:

Tutorial:
+ In your config.plist, goto Kernel > Emulate add these data into required value
```
Cpuid1Data: A9060300 00000000 00000000 00000000
Cpuid1Mask: FFFFFFFF 00000000 00000000 00000000
```
+ Set Kernel > Emulate > DummyPowerManagement to Enabled/True
+ Set NVRAM > WriteFlash to Disabled/False
+ Replace HFSPlus.efi with [HFSPlusLegacy.efi](https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData/blob/master/Drivers/HfsPlusLegacy.efi)
+ Don't forget to take an OC Snapshot in ProperTree after you work with files!
+ Some problem are described/fix like this [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/gn41rk/stuck_in_oc_watchdog_status_is_0/) post.

## How to download EFI
+ To download the latest EFI, simply click the download badge on the very first lines of README. If you don't want to scroll up, I've bring it down here for you: [![GitHub all releases](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/dtcu0ng/H81M-DS2-Hackintosh/total?style=for-the-badge&logo=github&color=1A91FF)](https://github.com/dtcu0ng/H81M-DS2-Hackintosh/releases)

Here is another way you can correctly download the EFI:

| DON'T use this  | Use this | And this |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| ![don't use this](images/dont_use_this_to_download.png "Don't use this") | ![use this](images/use_this.png "Use this") | ![and this](images/and_this.png "and this") |

## Additional
+ (Only High Sierra) If you have NVIDIA graphics card, use this terminal command to install Web driver:

```
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update/master/nvidia-update.sh)
```
Code by [Benjamin-Dobell](https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/), visit this [link](https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update/) to learn more.
+ (Only High Sierra) I installed CUDA driver too, get this in [here](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/cuda/mac-driver-archive/)
