Welcome to the AMD OS X FAQ. Here we aim to provide you with enough information so you can squash any bugs or issues you have with ease and speed.
Tools
After writing a number of Hackintosh Guides, we are revealing curtains off the next big Guide that had been keeping us Busy for last few weeks. Its now possible to Install Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on your PC with the standard Hackintosh techniques. Note: Hackintosh PCs are for nerds who desire to have them with effort, if you are lazy, you may quit now. Things just got a little easier for squeamish Hackintosh makers. One of the biggest problems with installing Mac OS X on an MSI Wind has been the lack of proper Wi-Fi support. The easiest way to. Brother DCP-145C. Brother DCP-1510 series.
These aren't a requirement but do assist in making it easier to perform tasks.:
- AMD OS X Knowledge Base: A collection of tools and guides that you might find useful for installing macOS on you AMD machine.
- Clover Bootloader: This is the software that will allow you to boot from the HDD/SSD without the USB Installer.
- Clover Configurator: This software allows you to configure Clover.
If you require further support that this page cannot offer please visit the Forums or the Discord server.
Compatibility
When it comes to an AMD Hackintosh compatibility is often questioned. Truth is if the device works on an Intel hackintosh it'll work on AMD too.
There's no specific motherboard that won't work but there are some that can make it harder. Gigabyte boards are normally the choice of many.

As for CPUs, Just about every AMD CPU is supported by the modified kernel. It's the system that limits it. From Sierra onwards your CPU must support the SSE4.1 CPU instruction.
This currently isn't emulated by the kernel and most likely won't be added. FX and Ryzen systems have the required instructions to run.

Hackintosh Mac
The only true requirement in the BIOS is that SATA is set to AHCI. If there's no option then it's most likely already on. The other settings below are for optimisation.
- APU/Integrated graphics = Disabled
- EHCI Handoff = Enabled
- XHCI Handoff = Enabled
- Cool'n'Quiet = Enabled
- Serial and Parallel ports = Disabled
- HPET = Enabled
- HPC = Enabled
Notes
Some useful pointers to take note of.
- Sierra 10.12 onwards is only compatible with CPUs that have the SSE4.1 / 4.2 Instructions for now.
- Sleep doesn't always work with macOS on AMD. It'll work or it won't.
- It's always best to install macOS to a separate HDD/SSD and keep your other Operating System separate.
These issues are known on AMD systems and no known fix is available but will be looked at when time allows.
