Rationale I am generally disappointed for the lack of information out there for ASUS motherboards in creating Hackintoshes. So I am going to make it super easy for you. My setup is a dual boot system (10.9 Mavericks + Windows 8 64bit) created with MyHack. You can try to use UniBeast but for me, installation failed. When it asks you to patch MBR, just click no with MyHack. Update 8/11/2015 For upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.x please read this thread: https://xiaopan.co/forums/threads/create-a-hackintosh-with-asus-motherboards.4591/page-7#post-31281 Update 18/10/2014 Note that if you are upgrading or looking to install the newest Mac OS X.

Sound is working WiFi is working (see my sig) DVD Drive working (sh224-BB) Dual Monitors (HDMI + DVI) Working Photobooth working! Sleep and shutdown working! My Lovely Desktop Homework Now, there is some other things you have to do before. 1) Download the latest BIOS for your Motherboard from ASUS 2) Patch your BIOS (you may not need to do this, try doing without). I have created a patched 2204 cap version for my own motherboard (download the zip below). I recommend you use the USB BIOS Flashback (if your motherboard supports it) or use it manually if you get security verification failed errors 3) Create a Mac OS X install disk 4) Setup your BIOS according to the following BIOS Settings screenshots 5) Install Mac OS X 6) If you know someone with a Mac it is quite easy to create a Bootable USB. If not, you are going to have to use Parallels Desktop or VMWare (see video below) in Windows and Install Mac OS X VM to be able to create a bootable installer. This will increase the install time significantly. Minimum What you Need 8GB or more USB formatted Mac OS X Journaled Mac OS X Installer Computer with OS X installed to create your Installer USB MyHack or Unibeast Recommended ASUS UEFI BIOS Utility Settings I am missing a screenshot up there, so if someone can determine what screenshot I missed, please comment below. Multibeast Settings If you do not have an SSD, you do not need the TRIM patch. Also for other motherboards, be sure to check what LAN and Sound devices you have. How to Create Mavericks Install USB YouTube VideoWatch this video on YouTube. These tutorials will come after, stay tuned. I feel that there are some video tutorials that can be done much better. But for now, my advice is to: 1) Start in safe mode -x to get it installed and to get to the Desktop. 2) Backup your Extra folder in the root of your drive 3) Replace the (Extra Folder) files in the root of your drive listed in the download link at the bottom of the page. Now you should be able to start Mac OS X without safe mode. 4) But! You will have to edit the plist settings manually and change the serial number and mac identifier before you reboot by using the original plist settings. Where it says Add a String in here replace it with the backup mentioned in your original org.chameleon.Boot.plist file. Do the same for smbios.plist.

Hi pal...I am about to buy the ASUS P8Z77-V LX motherboard for a Hackintosh Build i am about to do......Thanks to your detailed post here Create a Hackintosh with ASUS Motherboards | Xiaopan Forums ...I am able to follow instructions to be successful..I have only one question.I don't truly understand your statement u made here ''4) But! You will have to edit the plist settings manually and change the serial number and mac identifier before you reboot by using the original plist settings. Where it says Add a String in here replace it with the backup mentioned in your original org.chameleon.Boot.plist file. Do the same for smbios.plist.'' Could u please elaborate a little on it? Thanks
Just create a new serial and mac identifier. You don't want multiple Macs of the same serial getting pinged to Apple from all over the world. Also if others have followed the guide you would get constantly emailed if you setup iCloud and all that saying your device is in China for example.
Ohh I think i understand now...thanks a lot...Well that would be secondary matters for me...Wont be using any icloud or even using it to browse the internet at all even...But thanks for the heads up..When i get everything working and up and running as it should I would report back here with some good news..thanks again..... --- Double Post Merged, 24 Nov 2013 --- Oh and i forgot to report that I would be using a core i3 with HD4000 with that same asus board...That should not make any difference...Am i right?
i am at the part using myhack to create the bootable usb..but it asking for password...what is the admin password in os snow wm? anyone
Well i used the vm disk file download from here...i try to do the usb revery...it pop up the window asking for password....name is mac but i dont know what the passwird is
You will have to use nullcpupowermanagement.kext your system won't be able to sleep and will run a bit hotter.
Hi penguin and everyone...so i choose to used myhack to prepare the os x bootabe usb....did the configuration like the screen above but at the part where i need to select partition to install os on but state that my pc dont have enought space to for install..but i deleted windows parttion prior os x installing...am i missing something?
