OpenCore is what we refer to as a 'boot loader' – this is a complex piece of software that we use to prepare our systems for macOS – specifically by injecting new data for macOS such as SMBIOS, ACPI tables and kexts. How this tool differs from others like Clover is that it has been designed with security and quality in mind, allowing us to use many security features found on real Macs, such as SIP and FileVault. A more in-depth look can be found here: Why OpenCore over Clover and others
Hi.I'm currently picking out parts to get the most bang for my buck, and my friend suggested the AMD Phenom II X4 965 because supposedly they were able to unlocked 2 more cores with the core. Hi.I'm currently picking out parts to get the most bang for my buck, and my friend suggested the AMD Phenom II X4 965 because supposedly they were able to unlocked 2 more cores with the core. Tweet I managed to install Mac OS X 10.5.8 on an AMD Athlon X2 system after little trouble. I’ll post the procedure to make sure if I have to do it again I can easily refer and someone trying to do the same can save the trouble. This will be composed of a series of posts, a post per step. AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3 GHz Quad-Core CPU Processor HDX945WFK4DGM Socket AM3 95W 4.1 out of 5 stars 12. Only 3 left in stock - order soon. AMD Phenom II X4 965 AM3 3.4Ghz 512KB 45NM 125W 4000MHZ 4.6 out of 5 stars 641. 5 offers from $64.90. ASRock 760GM-HDV Socket AM3+/AM3/ AMD 760G/ DDR3/ SATA2&USB2.0/ A&V&GbE/MicroATX Motherboard.
This guide specifically focuses on two main things:
- Installing macOS on an X86-based PC
- Teaching you what makes your Hack work
Because of this, you will be expected to read, learn and even use Google. This is not a simple one-click install setup.
Please remember that OpenCore is still new and currently in beta. While quite stable, and arguably much more stable than Clover in pretty much every way, it is still being frequently updated, so chunks of configuration change quite often (i.e. new quirks replacing old ones).
Lastly, those having issues can visit both the r/Hackintosh subreddit and r/Hackintosh Discord for more help.

This page is a list of patched kernels for OS X. You are encouraged to add any missing information to help make this list complete! Please only add kernel-CPU combinations you or someone else have tested; don't just add a a CPU or kernel because it exists.
Two types of patches exist: binary and source. A binary patch (binpatch) is used when the target CPU is completely compatible with the stock mach_kernel, but its CPUID is not whitelisted (i.e. Intel Atom). Source patches are used for CPUs such as AMD, legacy Intel, or VIA that differ significantly from supported CPUs—these might need instruction set emulators, for example. Certain Apple programs do not work correctly with source patched kernels.[clarify]
