I have been used this machine as a hackintosh for developing since Nov. 2020, for almost 3 years! The longest up time was 40 days because of locking down of Covid-19, and it worked fine when I returned without rebooting. Pretty stable!

Saddly found that the compile speed difference of my project(golang) between this hackintosh and M2 Pro MBP was large, and obviously M2 Pro compiles much faster. Here are their compile tests for the same code(including handling vendors & dependencies)

• In this hackintosh:

  $ /usr/bin/time -h make all
  ...
          1m15.64s real           8m24.56s user           1m40.72s sys

• In M2 Pro MBP

  $ /usr/bin/time -h make all
  ...
          37.17s real             3m46.23s user           39.77s sys

About upgrading to macOS Sonoma 14.0

No native support for BCM94360CS2, need to add some kexts and make some configurations. Links below may helps!

• Sonoma 常遇到的問題（保持更新）
• Hackintosh tutorial - Broadcom/Fenvi WIFI on MacOS Sonoma
• OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher Get OCLP app & related kexts here!

Step summaries:

1. PATH: NVRAM - ADD - 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82

• Add parameters in boot-args
  • amfi=0x80
  • vsmcgen=1
  • -lilubetaall
  • vsmcbeta
• Set csr-active-config to 03080000

2. PATH: NVRAM - DELETE - 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82

• Add csr-active-config

3. PATH: MISC - Security - SecurityBootModel

• Set to Disabled

4. Kenel - Add add IOSkywalk.kext & IO80211FamilyLegacy.kext（Min kernel version: 23.0.0）

Add 3 kexts in order.

5. Kenel - Block add com.apple.iokit.IOSkywalkFamily （Min kernel version: 23.0.0） Strategy -> Exclude

6. Reboot your hackintosh

7. Download OCLP v1.0.1 and open this app, click Post-Install Root Patch, then Start Root Patching.

8. After rebooting again, WiFi works.

Works fine

• Start and shutdown
• App Store login and download
• iCloud,iMessage,AirDrop
• WiFi, Bluetooth, Ethernet

Known Issues

• File Share can't be opened from preference

BIOS Settings

The BIOS I set before was missing, but it's pretty simple and just need to do few settings. So you can try the following configurations below if it doesn't works.

• Secure Boot : Disabled
• Internal Graphics : Disabled
• Above 4G Decoding : Enabled
• Above 4GB MMIO BIOS assignment : Enabled
• Re-Size BAR Support : Disabled
• Intel Platform Trust Technology(PTT): Disabled
• Hyper-Threading : Enabled
• CFG Lock : Disabled

---

• Fast Boot - Disabled
• CSM - Disabled
• VT-d, Thunderbolt - Disabled
• Serial port - Disabled
• Intel SGX - Disabled

---

• OS type: Other OS
• EHCI/XHCI Hand-off - Enabled
• Security Device Support - Disable
• Internal Graphics - Disabled

What to do next?

• Generate model information after selecting iMac20,1 aka iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020).
• Hope your hackintosh come to you as soon as possibile and have a good night!
