The video I’ve been waiting for! Currently in the middle of picking parts for a Ryzentosh SFF workstation.

It's a breath of fresh air among the CES videos. And a great one at that! Very nice hackintosh!

I love your B-roll shots and I'm gonna use some screenshots as wallpapers.

Man, I swear the exact moment I want something, you post a video with it! last time I was building a custom mech keyboard after your video! these lubed tealios are just dope! and now this, give me a break :D

Thank you for all the hardware recommendations! This was my first time building a computer. I made a Ghost S1 style case from wood to cut down costs, bought a used RX 5700, and got an AC68 USB WIFI. Today, after weeks of trial and error, I finally have Catalina 15.3 up and running with DaVinci Resolve. I recommend the OpenCore guide, and the Technolli Channel for anyone else who is in over their head like I was.

This is absolutely awesome! Great work! I am watching your videos since a while now and love your channel! 👍🏽

I just discovered your channel and I really like the content. Well done!

Congratulations! That's a sweet build. I never really liked hackintosh builds that much. I never felt it was worth the expense of time to get it working 90-95% of the way. I am excited for the second video to see what other successes you can show us. Thank you.

Loved the build. Have been looking forward to something like this for a while haha. Could you please go through on how you replaced the wifi and bluetooth card in the motherboard. I'm planning on using the same motherboard for a hackintosh and am so confused as to how this work :(

Next Hackintosh build: Threadripper 3990X.

simple + compact + tiny + beautiful = PERFECT

Look forward to seeing more videos with this build!

Kept thinking that logo on your shirt was a crumb😂 even though I KNOW an OT video would never have such an imperfection.

MAN I LOVE YOUR CONTENT, SOOO CLEAAAANNNN ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!

I love this! I have an rx 5700 somewhere at home, I was planning on make a small pc with hackintosh with intel, but I really like how these ryzen works, I'll be waiting your update on this cause iCloud is 100% for me.

This video is super clean and sharp even on 1080p, amazing.

Always with the quality content!

great vid :) looking forward to part 2

Stoked to discover another Aussie techtuber. 👌

Damn, it's crazy how much better things have gotten. My hackintosh crashes sometimes when I run final cut pro too long, but I'm hoping following this will help make things a bit smoother

Nice work. Ryzentosh has frustrating moments for all. Thanks for making it not look too easy.

Great content as always 👍

Nice production quality and scripting. Length was just right. Hope you'll revisit Catalina and non-USB boot.

i love how you answered all my questions

Love it! Best of both worlds!!

You are very straightforward:)

While I don’t need to build a PC at all, I’ve been watching your super-well-done vids and enjoying learning about it. I am a creative pro on the Mac since 1989 and just this morning was curious what the Hackintosh with AMD status was, and viola, a video specifically about that topic. I think the internet is telling me something...

Subbed! Great content. Do you have a video where you show your camera and lighting setup ect. for you studio? Would love to see that.

I love your videos, but especially the hackintosh videos.

Really interesting! Looks doable... if I wanted to. I will be passing it on! Thanks!!!

We had issues with a hackinTosh build several years ago when using the clover boot loader we always ended up having to put in the clover cd to boot. On our 2nd hackintosh build we used the niresh bootloader and that was absolutely flawless. Both hackintosh builds were Intel based. AMD was not even possible then I love seeing all your builds and I'm so happy to see that you did a ryzen hackintosh system well done sir!

Wi-Fi adapter is not soldering and you can change it. One or two screws in to back side motherboard. You can save antennas with ports

You can actually swap out the included WiFi card on that MB. I have the same one and had to do this because of driver conflicts on my system. You just need to remove the screws on the bottom of the MB that screw into the WiFi card enclosure and the screw that keep the two metal parts together and then you have access to the WiFi card and wires for the antenna connectors.

I like your style sir， much respect ！

1:15 you forgot about iMac 😉 Nice build btw. Love the compact case

Cool video as always, thank you for for EFI tho

Amazing Video Thx!!!

Nice and very informative video. Good explanations, and beautiful build. Would it be possible to build a dual OS system (bort OSX and Windows) with either OS on there respectively M.2 drives? I know that you then don't have a slot for the wifi+bluetooth adaptor, but it would be a cool thing to be able to switch between the OS just by rebooting the machine.

Nice I have my 9900k as daily driver for a few months now on Catalina as I need latest versions of Xcode running. I’m thinking of picking up parts for 3950x build but seems there quite a few issues with 10.15. I’ll have to wait until later this year when ryzen compatibility improves. In any case, I’ll also be picking up the 16” MBP just for mobility. All excellent machines and great video.

Love the case and detailed explanations. Will there be an update on cases which support ATX components in small form factor?

Sweet, I'll have enough money leftover to afford that $1000 monitor stand with the savings from this build.

I'm excited to see a build where you get everything you said you will do on Pt2, plus having the hackintosh to be able to auto-update. If not, I will just keep rocking my MacBook Pro paired with a Razor Core X /w Vega 64 GPU for rendering edits.

Cool setup.

This is awesome!

Have you had any issues with audio/video becoming out of sync? I've heard this is one of the biggest issues with content creating on a Ryzen hackintosh. Hackintosh certainly becoming much more popular everyday!

This is what I've been waiting for. Also, the Dune Case Hackintosh. But that might be too big of a case for your aesthetic.

Pretty sure you can pop in a compatible wifi card as a replacement instead of using an m.2 slot. Sick build and fantastic video, thanks!

Very nice setup

Literally only want to do a hackintosh once they figure out AirDrop. That is my number 1 feature I use to get videos and photos on my phone to post on instagram.

That garageband made intro... . . . . . . . I like it!

dude, your videos are awesome. You deserve more visits and likes. I'd love if you recommend or make a video of mini itx cases of aliexpress ... because we can't buy most cases of your videos in South America.

On my Intel based hackintosh was sufficient just to install the Clover EFI Bootloader on the hackintosh's harddrive/ssd, then mount the EFI and transfer all necessary kexts. Remove the flash drive and reboot.

Hey Man, You do a great job with your videos...Professional, Articulate, and Concise. I see you hitting 1M+ subscribers. We say "Aluminum" a little bit different in the States lol.

Really nice!!!

i giggled at "maczentosh'. nice touch

The quality. Oh yes, the quality!!!!! Awesome!

Hi Buddy, Well done, nice tech content! Could you let me know which keyboard, mouse and mousepad are you using? Thanks!

Pro tip for people wanting to replace the wifi card on their mITX board (like the one in the video or my ASROCK B350 itx, but I'd imagine they all work the same). If you take a screw driver and remove the housing around the wifi card, there's actually a mini PCIe slot, the card isn't actually integrated into the motherboard. There's no need for an M.2 adapter!

Wow man, beautiful work! Love this minimal and powerful build! (I’m trying to boot my first Catalina Hackintosh with Opencore ... Asus z390-e gaming)

This may be the build I go with for my first Hackintosh build. Not as expensive as what I was going for before, but seems more than powerful enough compared to my iMac now which is chugging when using certain programs.

Awesome build and tight case!!! Wow! Are you able to run Adobe Lightroom in mac os on your build? Havent found one instance of it working flawlessly. Wish i did!

ive been running 2600k (intel from 2011) on my hackintosh, still runs smooth but this year I think finaly i will switch to AMD! :)

thanks that was so helpful

I know that the MacBook air wifi card has to go in the m. 2 slot but some supported Broadcom wifi cards are bt modules so you can swap the wifi card which is already on the laptop and save the m. 2 slot

I want that case. It's so perfect I've Spoken.

Mac OS is like living in a nice and well designed home: It feels good to spend time in it and everything is in its right place. Win 10 feels like a dorm: It might be clean, but you're always looking for crap under the bed.

I have pretty much the same build on a hackintosh as yours. Same mobo but rocking a first gen ryzen. To boot from the SSD rather than the USB stick, you can just copy all the files from the EFI partition of the USB stick to the EFI partition of the SSD. Clover makes mounting them very easy, and it is just a drag and drop. I also have wifi working, by replacing the wifi module that came with the board. I cannot remember where I bought it from, but it replaces the original WIFI module and does not take up the second m.2 slot. Eventually I do plan on migrating to opencore, because development for patches for new OSX versions seem to exclusively on opencore, so if you want to be up to date in OS version, it is best to be on opencore.

Neat~ I like it!

I'm not 100% sure about that motherboard, but other motherboards with WiFi built into them have the card slotted into the motherboard, perpendicular to the motherboard itself, hidden within the rear IO. For my past 3 ITX builds, I was able to unscrew the WiFi card from under the WiFi antenna hookups on the bottom/back of the motherboard. You can replace it with something like the DW1560 if you can manage to find one and you'll have WiFi and Bluetooth without taking an extra slot.

Hi! Thanks for the video. I had a similar issue with my hackintosh to boot without the installer. My solution was to install clover on the ssd, restart and boot from the usb installer, in the bottom options, you select install efi boot (I can't remember the exact option name) to install that efi entry as a boot option. You may need to remove some extra options after this process and choose the one that loads macos as the defaut one in your bios. Needless to say that you need to update plist file and kexts on your ssd like the installer. Hope it works for you too.

Awesome! Really looking forward to the next video about this system. Running High Sierra on my old 2600K, and looking into upgrading to ITX and Ryzen preferably. Nice to see a Ryzentosh working :)

This is a great video. And I honestly didn't really think about having a hackingtosh instead of going for Windows 10 and its shenanigans. I'm considering either the 3900X with a 5700XT or the 3700X if budget is an issue. I have mac software for everything I need and a hackingtosh might just be the way to go. Do you do client builds or would you do a subscriber build? That is, I pay for all the parts and have them shipped to you. You could even do a video on the build and I'd pay for your labour and shipping too.

that ghost s1 case is sick... I have spoken...

You should do an updated one, with 10900K + Radeon VII + Asrock Z490 ITX TB3 and a bcM94360CD. (you can replace the original wifi card on this board with the bcM94360CD using an adapter). Bluetooth and Wifi works out of the box. I'm using this and it's amazing!

I built mine over the Christmas holidays. Asus ROG Crosshair Impact VIII with 3900x. Used OpenCore to build Catalina. Using an RX 5700 XT.

Were you able to figure out what’s causing the memory error when installing catalina?

I'm on b450 Aorus Elite, everything works great :)

Hi! How is your performance in final cut pro x? :) Would really appreciate an answer :D

For the booting of the m.2 instead issue. I think you just load your EFI partition from the USB and copy the boot folder to the EFI (which you have to load) partition on your m.2 Something like that. I haven’t done this in a while. I hope in the second part you can go over more on the workflow (does DaVinci work the same vs win10) part along with noise and temps of the system. Thanks

Will the navi base gpu be more powerful on a hackintosh? Arent the flagship mac pro still using vega/radeon vii base gpu? Btw very nice build. Love your sff content. I have a r7 1800x and vega 64 in a dan a4 case. Your build are a really good help for the sff community and also attracting newcomers to this hobby.

Thanks for good video. Next time try to make Hackintosh using ryzen 9 3950x !

Final cut is pretty finicky with the hardware. Any chance you’re gonna try that out? Curious to see if it even knows what a ryzen chip is.

what keyboard do you have? it looks nice. and what kinda dsa's are those

Nice video! If you want to run Catalina, you need to use open core

Been running Catalina 10.15.2 on my 3900X and 5700XT and it's running awesome 👌 I used OpenCore rather than Clover though

It would be nice to see an hackintosh with Epyc 48 cores CPU and 2tb ram, That would crush also the top specs Mac PRO you can buy today

Mac Middle..haha! love it.

Currently running 10.5.1 on my 2950X Threadripper build with dual boot to Windows 10. Using a X399m Taichi with a Radeon VII.

Great video, but that is NOT the L12s, it is the L12. I hope people don't get this cooler thinking it will fit stock... I've had both installed on my Ghost S1 and prefer the L12 as I don't have to bend it to get it to fit, and the fan is quieter.

Catalina is broken with clover but you can get it to work with opencore i did it myself

@Optimum Tech Love the video.. Good as usual. But Plzzzzzz can u reupload the PSU / Noctua mod. missed it by 10 min and i am doing the same mod and would be more confident with a guide by you.

Very good Video. Maybe i build a hackintosh on my own now. Optimum can you Test the nee AXP 90 Full Copper against the L9a.... Would be awesome!!

It takes a while to figure out all the steps and a lot of tryel and error, it is good to have a copy of your mac os on a separate ssd just to be accessible if something goes wrong. The easiest way is to do it in macOS recovery mode. I’m currently running hackintosh as a daily driver. All watercooled in a custom case.

To help you out. You need to mount the hdd efi folder and drag the usb efi folder to it. Then you will be able to get the computer running hdd only

An alternative to not having a Mac to get an iso you can go to Hackintosh zone and download one and convert the torrent and make a bootable usb with transmac

Worth the 1am wait

You will need to mount your EFI and copy over your EFI config files from your USB - Open Terminal and run diskutil list and find your internal storage device and the number of your EFI partition - Run mkdir /Volumes/efi - Mount your EFI sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/efi (Make sure to replace /dev/disk0s1 to what ever your EFI partition is mount to.) - Your EFI should now be mounted and should be on desktop, next you must open the CLOVER EFI and go into EFI and copy over the contents to the EFI. Now you can unplug your USB and restart and you will be able to boot without your USB.

great video for guidance! Thanks! I'm wondering if the Vega 56 can out put 10bit colors under Mac OS for photoshop? it seems only give 8bit color under windows system .

Have you saw the New Intel NUC9 PC from CES? oh boy, the entire ITX pc building is gonna change SO much because of that product. I was wondering what's your thought on the new NUC 9 gaming PC?

Next Hackintosh build: His biceps 😍😍😍😍
