Hackintosh Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Ultra

I didn't find any specific tutorial for this mobo so I decided to share my EFI folder to maybe save someone else some time and frustration 😊

⚠️ Please follow the OC tutorial - don't use my configuration if you have a different motherboard! ⚠️

My configuration:

Part	Model
Motherboard	Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Ultra, Bios v F6
CPU	Intel i7-10700K @ 3.8 GHz
Cooler	Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH
GPU	Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 5700 XT 8G
RAM	Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 64GB @ 3600 MHz
Storage	ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB M.2
Wifi	Fenvi T919 Wireless PCI
Case	NZXT H510i
PSU	Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1200W 80 Plus Platinum

What works:

Ethernet - with IntelMausiEthernet
Airdrop
Sleep
iServices (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud)
Sound
USB (including USB-C)
Wifi (Fenvi T919 is natively supported)

What doesn't work:

DRM (Netflix & co) - the solution is to disable the iGPU in BIOS
unlocking with Apple Watch as I can't seem to disable internal Wifi+Bluetooth

Usage

⚠️ If you do decide to use my EFI folder, make sure to generate your own serial numbers with GenSMBIOS for either iMac20,1 or iMac20,2 (depending on your CPU) and add them in the config.plist in the PlatformInfo > Generic section:

Comments and PRs are appreciated!
