CPU:
Ryzen 9 9950x
After a few days of tinkering I finally reached the point where everything I wanted boots perfectly from OpenCore.

macOS, Windows, and Linux all working on the same machine with a clean boot picker.

Thought I’d share the setup and results since AM5 Hackintosh builds are still a bit uncommon.

System Specs​

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 16GB

Motherboard: MSI PRO X870-P WIFI

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 MT/s


Storage
  • Samsung 990 EVO – Windows + Zorin
  • WD SN770 – macOS
Networking
  • Realtek RTL8126 5GbE (RTL812xLucy.kext)
  • Wi-Fi not working yet (waiting on a Fenvi/Broadcom card)
SMBIOS: MacPro7,1

Bootloader: OpenCore

Kexts Used​

  • Lilu.kext
  • VirtualSMC.kext
  • AppleALC.kext
  • AppleMCEReporterDisabler.kext
  • NVMeFix.kext
  • RestrictEvents.kext
  • RTL812xLucy.kext
  • USBToolBox.kext
  • UTBMap.kext
  • WhateverGreen.kext
  • AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext
  • SMCAMDProcessor.kext
  • SMCRadeonSensors.kext

Operating Systems​

  • macOS Sequoia 15.7.5
  • Windows 11
  • Zorin OS 18.1 (Linux)
All three boot directly from OpenCore picker.

What Works​

  • GPU acceleration
  • Sleep / wake
  • Ethernet
  • Audio
  • Triple boot via OpenCore
  • AppleID
  • iPhone call relay (surprisingly works)
  • iMessage
  • Dev workloads extremely smooth

What Doesn't Work (Yet)​

  • Wi-Fi / Bluetooth (waiting for Fenvi Broadcom card)
  • Some scheduler behavior causes core bouncing in single-core benchmarks
  • Minor OpenCore cosmetic stuff
If anyone is running Zen 5 Ryzen Hackintosh builds, I’d love to compare notes.

Also curious if anyone managed to improve single-core boost behavior on macOS with AMD CPUs.
