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.
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 16GB
Motherboard: MSI PRO X870-P WIFI
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 MT/s
Storage
Bootloader: OpenCore
Also curious if anyone managed to improve single-core boost behavior on macOS with AMD CPUs.

System Specs
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950XGPU: 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
- Realtek RTL8126 5GbE (RTL812xLucy.kext)
- Wi-Fi not working yet (waiting on a Fenvi/Broadcom card)
Bootloader: OpenCore
Kexts Used

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