If you think one or two of the presented solutions here is based on one of your own unique ideas please feel free to tell me and I will add your name here at once of course. For this guide I searched and tested for days, finding all the bits needed to complete the installation. *CREDITS: Go to all people involved in the hackintosh community.

#ASUS B250M CLOVER CONFIGURATOR HOW TO#
*For this guide I assume that you already know how to prepare a macOS install drive, how to install Clover bootloader and configure it, mounting your EFI partition and so on. The best you can achieve is to get into desktop by spoofing a Skylake ID but you won’t get hardware acceleration this way. It sounds promising at first to have a macOS supported Intel HD on this chip but it seems as if Intel has just branded it this way and in reality using a different architecture. Telling it the other way: there is no post installation action requiredĪnd for those who are planning to use the Intel HD630 instead of a dedicated graphics card: You can’t. You need to configure your UEFI right and get your ist for Clover in order before you can start, otherwise macOS will simply kernel panic. Of course the installation needs preparation because the Pentium CPU isn’t supported out of the box. For this build I don’t even bother to compile one. It is not necessary to disable USB power via DSDT. You can even use your Bluetooth keyboard or mouse to wake it and it will sleep well again. Speaking of power: As the Arctic Freezer is too huge for a standard ATX power supply to fit in an ITX case I go for a PICO Mini ATX adapter that allows up to 120 watts on 16 volts, so a common laptop power supply can be used and of course it runs noiseless as wished.Įverything works like a real mac, there are no power management, sleep or wake issues.
The fan literally never spins up during usual daily usage.įor graphics card the fanless GT1030 is the obvious choice as it delivers the best performance with the lowest possible power consumption. The Arctic Freezer 33 is my favourite choice as CPU cooler and I’m using it for all my builds.
#ASUS B250M CLOVER CONFIGURATOR PRO#
So I decided to go for the Pentium G4600 which offers nearly the same performance as the I3-7100 for a much lower price and the MSI B250I Pro Mini ITX board, the cheapest one with M.2 slots for PCIe and Wifi. For that use it should be silent, fanless at best. My plan was to build a Hackintosh with the best price-performance-ratio to be used as media player in the living room hooked to the TV.
