Preface:

First of all, my mental journey is as follows:And then there you have it. The current use of normal, but also a lack of external driver, you can achieveBluetooth + air drop function.

And such a triple-A masterpiece, a 27-inch 4K screen productivity Black Apple console, I spent only $3,000 to assemble.

I’m going to tell you everything from choosing accessories to driving dual systems.

1. Prepare

1.1 Hardware Requirements

iMacSeries of hosts are basically based on:

  1. IntelCPU
  2. AMDThe graphics card
  3. Medium board B300+ or more motherboards

Identify these three major hardware categories to know if your host can hack apple.

When you search for information about black apples, someone will tell you:

  1. AMD 的CPUCan also.
  2. Nvidia graphics cards will do, too
  3. SSD Samsung981and970 evo PLUSNo black apples

The first two: Yes, but it’s too expensive for beginners, and many people can’t perfect it for months. Third: the message is out of date, you can upgrade the firmware through Samsung Magician software.

1.2 Tutorial collection

Black Apple community has vision, black Apple Paradise and other established sites. But I don’t recommend any of you

There are two reasons: 1. High threshold. 2. Charge.

It is recommended to read the following passages in order:

  1. Hackintosh Black Apple Hardware Recommendation November 19
  2. [January 2020] Installation trend and recommendation for January (1000-5000 YUAN)
  3. Black Apple 10.14 DD-free graphics card table
  4. Install black Mac+Win dual System steps on a single hard drive (complimentary GUID mode /GPT partitioning tutorial /RAID creation tutorial)

If you want to challenge yourself or have an installed base, you can go straight to it. No, just keep going.

2. Host assembly

3. Accessories purchase

I3 9100F/ I5 5400F + RX580/RX590

Other can not be too concerned about, now the basic are B365M motherboard.

If you want to install your own, you can refer to the configuration in the second article above:

Replace the graphics card with AMD RX580, and replace the power supply with any one above 500W.

  • CPU suggestion: i5-9400F is required for video editing and rendering, and i3-9100F is not required. There is not much difference between the two games. The former collocation motherboard 1500, the latter eight or nine hundred.
  • Motherboard: various categories, the pursuit of cost-effective on the rainbow, otherwise asusTUF B360M-PLUS GAMING SAnd msiB360M MORTAR.Special reminder: don’t buy into B365M, that is castrated version.
  • Graphics card: if not in a hurry, you can wait for AMD’s new technology graphics card RX55005700XT, the power ratio is much less. In a hurry, buying a brand new RX580 is also not recommended590. Used mine cards actually smell good. Over 400.
  • Solid state: NVME protocol who buys who smells good.

The following is my configuration (changed to i3 9100F price)

category accessories The price
Motherboard + CPU Msi B360M WIND + I3-9100F 900
The graphics card Used RX580 2304P 4GB 438
Memory chips Jintek DDR4 2666 199
Solid state Yes, please choose one with 500GB 500
Heat dissipation Original DELIVERED CPU 0
The case First horse crew head brother 159
The power supply Normal rated 550W 230
A combined 2426
Among them, my motherboard is installed to find that bought wrong… -wuwuwu……

4. Installed

Buy fittings, do not want to trouble, can take to give downstairs installed machine boss whole, 50 pieces had been packed. For those who want to experience the fun of installation for themselves, this video is highly recommended:

“Computer assembly tutorial, super detailed step installation teaching video, novice COMPUTER DIY host (jumper connection)”

Small white access tutorial, other need not see.

Note:

  • Do not remove the CPU black cover plate on the motherboard, it will automatically pop up after installing the CPU.
  • Set aside aM.2Slots for external drivers.
  • If you can’t light the motherboard, there are error correction lights to see.
  • Most failures are caused by faulty jumpers.
  • Qian! Wan! No! Want to! Big! Force! Out!!!! Strange! Mark!!!!!!

5. Dual system tutorial

The most reliable free tutorial I’ve found so far is the black Fruit soldier’s blog:

  • MacOS Catalina 10.15.2 19C57 with Clover 5100

3.1 makeUEFIMirror:

Start with a usb flash drive with 32GB or more and download the link to the above article: Dual EFI partition Version download link image

Download the Etcher, open the image, select the USB drive, and click Flash. Windows10 needs to run with administrator rights

3.1 Disk Partitions

Download the latest version of Diskgenius in advance and log in to the PE system to open the software.

Single-disk Dual-system Partition format (Mac+Win)

It is recommended to use the GPT partition table (as shown in the following figure, with a 256 GB disk as an example, the partition capacity and functions are for your reference).

  • ESPPartition: Boot partition300M(Must be above 200M)
  • HFSPartitions:MacThe system partition76296MB(Above 60G is recommended)
  • NTFSPartitions:WinThe system partition61444MB(More than 40G is recommended)
  • exFATPartition: file swap partition (dual-system seamless data exchange)

You can skip the Mac partition and save space for subsequent “disk tool” formatting.

Just find a mirror, install Win10 first.

3.2 Finding similar ConfigurationsEFIfile

This process, test your retrieval ability.

This collection was found when I searched wechat for relevant public accounts, and most of the configurations are ready to use.

After decompressing the folder, replace the folder named Clover in the U disk

3.3 installationmacOS

Select usb boot in BLOS (this image will have two boot options, one is for PE system and the other is for Clover boot)

If the EFI is selected correctly, you should see the following screen:

Select install MacOS….

Erase the preset disk…. Start waiting, and the whole process should take less than 30 minutes.

Tick… Tick…

It’s installed when you go to this page. Have a cup of tea in the meantime… There’s still work to be done.

3.4 combinedEFI, fromUSBrun

Now although we have a dual system, but Win10 boot items in the hard disk, and MacOS in the USB flash drive.

This is like our front-end project:

  • Dependencies are installed in two projects and can only be run separately.
  • At this point we need to takeMacOSIntegrate into the system project and reorganizepackage.json

If you’re trying to copy an EFI from your usb flash drive to the EFI partition on your disk, but you can’t find the EFI partition and you can’t see it, this is where Diskutil comes in.

1. Mount the EFI partition

Record the installation process of macOS and xiaomi Pro in Windows PE, open CMD window, enter command:

Diskpart list disk # select disk n # select EFI from list partition N = EFI partition number set id=" ebD0A0A2-b9e5-4333-87c0-68b6b72699c7Copy the code

Check your computer at this time, you will find an extra partition, that is the EFI partition.

  • willUSBtheEFIpartitionedEFITable of contents, belowCLOVERCopy to the EFI directory on disk, that is, perform the * merge operation.

  • Do not copy all of them, otherwise EFI may fail to start Windows.

2. AddUEFIBoot options

Tool :BOOTICE

Operation process:

  1. Start BOOTICE and selectPhysical disk, select the target disk and clickPartition management, pop up the partition management window, click allocate drive letter, asESPAssign a drive letter to the partition and click OK.

  1. chooseUEFI, click on theModifying the boot sequence, click on theaddButton, menu title fill:CLOVER, select the startup file and select it in the window that opensESPThe directory under the partition\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI, click on theSave the current boot device Settings.

Unplug the USB drive, restart your computer, enter BLOS, and you will see two boot options

  1. CLOVER
  2. Windows Boot Manager

This is basically the end, you need an external Broadcom drive, plug in the network cable to play black Apple cool…

6. Black Apple Wireless card & Bluetooth option

First note: Forgo USB wireless cards. Because the user experience is very poor, it is easy to cause system instability, especially during sleep.

The nic driver has two interfaces: MiniPCI-E and NGFF M.2

  • Minipci-e (note: don’t buy black cards, buy green cards)

    • DW1510/BCM94322HM8L(dual frequency 300M), this card may not be able to use AirDrop and relay (Handoff) functions (10.15 Catalina does not support out of the box, manual drive, please search, not recommended), about 20 yuan
    • DW1550/BCM94352HMB(dual frequency 300M+867M), recommended
    • Emperor level: BCM94360HMB(dual-frequency 450M+1300M), the network adapter needs to be connected, the strongest wireless

  • NGFF M.2

    • Beggar level: none
    • DW1560/BCM94352Z(dual frequency 300M+867M), recommended
    • Emperor class: DW1830/BCM943602BAED(dual frequency 450M+1300M), the strongest wireless
    • Note: it is not recommended to use DW1820A/BCM94350ZAE, this card cannot be used in HP, please provide your own technology to use this card

Please see “Broadcom B NETWORK card & Bluetooth Driver Posture” for specific driving mode.

Oh, 4K monitor, I’m using this one:

Set down, within 3400 stable, no rollover hahaha.
