Gigabyte-Z490-Vision-G-Hackintosh-OpenCore reviews and mentions

• Intel I225-V is problematic. Can I just disable it in the BIOS and get a separate PCIe NIC for ease of use?

  I used this guide to get the I225-V adapter working on my Z490i Aorus Ultra: https://github.com/5T33Z0/Gigabyte-Z490-Vision-G-Hackintosh-OpenCore/blob/main/I225-V_FIX.md

• Is Z490 worth it over Z370 if you want 'working out of the box' experience? I read the Dortania Anti-Buying guide and it seems that Z490 has many issues, from NIC to RTC vs AWAC, and even at Dortania they are not recommended. What do you think?

  Basically read the Open Core Guide and built and EFI Folder from scratch and checked some of the prebuilt EFIs on Github that used the _same_ hardware. I spend a full day assambling the parts and then installing MacOS Big Sur. I had some problems running the installer at first, but most of the issues were related to BIOS settings. I followed the guide of ST33Z0 and his settings worked perfectly (https://github.com/5T33Z0/Gigabyte-Z490-Vision-G-Hackintosh-OpenCore)
