This is my 2017 Hackintosh build. I was using GTX 970 before but I just switch to Vega 64 recently. And it works out of box!!! That’s the key to the whole build. With Vega GPU, you don’t have to worry about tricky bugs any more. We just need to set up a clean build.

For the build, the liquid cooler cannot fit in the top of the case with this special motherboard. I remove the front fan and put it at the top of the case. Then I install the liquid cooler up front the case.

> Installation

I just follow the installation from Tonymacx86 High Sierra Installation and that’s works for me.

The SMBIOS setting I’m using is iMac 14,2. I was using iMac 18,3 before but once I switch to Vega graphics card, it will cause black screen. So I suggest to stick with 14,2.

The only issue I have is the audio. I am not sure it’s the macOS version 10.13.4’s problem or Vega graphics card’s. A quick fix is using USB to headphone jack converter. You can buy anyone from Amazon.

In 90% cases, you can go ahead update your system without any problem. But be careful, and check out Tonymacx86’s update posts. For example, you might have to update your clover bootloader or replace your old apfs.efi to the new one.
