Looking for my original Clover guide? It's still available right here.

Hackintosh Catalina Guide for Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (OpenCore)

This build is "Vanilla". I used this guide as a starting point.

Hardware

See my Hardware List

What's Working/What's Not

Working

• Ethernet
• Onboard Audio (including digital audio)
• APFS
• Sleep/Wake
• All USB ports at 3.x speed
• iMessage
• App Store
• Facetime
• APFS
• Handoff
• Bluetooth & Wi-Fi (via Broadcom adapter)
• Unlock with Apple Watch
• Airdrop
• AirPlay
• Continuity
• ALL DRMs:
  • iTunes Movies (FairPlay 1.x)

  • Some Amazon Prime content, but not all. (FairPlay 2.x/3.x)
  • Apple TV+ (FairPlay 4.x)
• Power Nap
• NVRAM

Not Working (as expected)

• Built-in WIFI. This will very likely never work since it is the new Intel CNVi that macOS doesn't support.
• Onboard Bluetooth. I disabled it (HS14) because I have a natively supported Broadcom BCM94360CS2 WIFI/BT adapter anyways.

Not Yet Tested

• FileVault

Step By Step Instructions

My old Clover guide used to have Step by Step instructions but I decided not to write such instructions here for two reasons: it's a pain to keep up to date, and I literally just followed the OpenCore Desktop Guide. When in doubt, just look at my KEXTs, drivers and config.list for guidance.

USB Port Map & SSDT

See USB_MAP.md for a map of all the ports on the Aorus z390 Master.
