Started with this new job!
In the next days I'll inform you about the progress.
This isn't my first Hackintosh (I started on Tonymacx86 with Snow Leopard...), and I did at least 4 hackintoshes till today.
Now I'm moving forward from the Z390 to the new Z790.
Planned OS: Ventura 13.6 + Windows 10... and within few mounts: Sonoma!
A short story of this build:
My new Hardware:
- MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI
- Intel i9 13900K
- 2x16GB Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 RGB 6400MT/s CL32 DIMM
- 2x FireCuda 530 4TB NVME Disk as data disk (in JBOD Raid)
- 1x FireCuda 530 2TB NVME Disk as MacOS boot disk
- 1x Nvme Samsung SSD 960 PRO 512GB as Windows disk
- GPU Nitro RX 6900 XT 16Gb
- NZXT Kraken X63
- NZXT h510i Case
- EVGA Supernova T2 1000W Titanium 80+
The Power Supply, Case, Cooler, SSD Sata and NVMe disk is the same I used in my actual Hackintosh, with Fenvi Card for Bluetooth and WiFi... (that I plan to sell due the new BT/WiFi on my new MoBo).
NEW PARTS IN BLUE COLOUR.
... I started the job, and I will update the progress every time I gain a new step.
Now... let's time to remove MoBo, CPU, RAM, etc... in my actual Hack and replace with new material arrived today (thx to Amazon!)...
First STEP:
- Backup of every single file, partition etc... at least in two different place! And a Time Machine Backup!
- a Copy of Carbon Copy Cloner in a separate pen drive, with all the occourring files: OC 0.9.5 Release, Hackintool, KextUpdater, OpenCore Configurator or PlistEdit Pro, USBInjectAll.kext, Hackintool, IORegistryExplorer.app and so one...
A USB2.0 flash-drive
A USB3.0 flash-drive
... Just to have access at all I need without WiFI/Ethernet

A short story of this build:
Premise: it started one way (Gigabyte Z790 UD AX) and ended up another (MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI). I had a lot of instability problems with the Z790 UD AX (Immature firmware?) and switched to MSI. Followed by MSI Z790-P Wifi
My Hardware:
- Gigabyte Z790 UD AX DDR5 Rev. 1.0, Bios Version 8
- Intel i9 13900K
- 2x16GB Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5 RGB 6400MT/s CL32 DIMM
- 3 x SSD SATA Toshiba model THNSN81Q29 2TB (each) + Samsung 850 EVO 2TB (in raid 0 to reach 8TB Data disk with good speed)
- 1x FireCuda 530 4TB NVME DIsk as boot disk
- 1x Nvme Samsung SSD 960 PRO 512GB as Windows disk
- GPU Nitro RX 6900 XT 16Gb
- NZXT Kraken X63
- NZXT h510i Case

First (partially) bad result (only because I've to spent more money as expected):
SSD SATA Toshiba model THNSN81Q29 2TB --> They don't work on this motherboard. This isn't related to hackintosh. Also in windows they don't work properly, very long formatting time, very poor performances.. 15Mb/sec read/write trasfer rate).
No problem with the Samsung SSD Sata Disk and a spare 512GB SATA SSD Sandisk... problem is with the specific Toshiba SSD SAta Drivers..
I'll sell the disk (that works perfectly via usb external case) and I'll replace it with a couple of FireCuda 530
- 1 x 4TB Firecuda 530 Nvme disk to make RAID 0 stripe with the other 4TB Firecuda 530 --> I need a 8TB as Data Disk
- 1 x 2TB Firecuda 530 Nvme disk as Boot/OS Disk.
I need also a PCIe to NVme adapter due to the "only" 3 PCIe M.2 connectors (Socket 3, M key, type 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 SSD support) on the Z790 UD AX
I'll keep you informed!
PS: crossing fingers
12h later, firs news:
- bios F9a probably fixed a severe issue (PC reboot while copying large amount of data from a NVme to another NVme disk). At least after first 4TB data copy are all right!! May be a slightly slow data transfer speed than expected...3.5-4Gb/sec instead of 5.5-6Gb/sec). Better than in the past (bios F8)!
- the second test was not so lucky: PC reboot, restarts for no reason...
We had to wait for the final F9 version....
