Hackintosh for ASUS P8Z68-V LX motherboard using macOS 10.12 Sierra.This is a minimal guide that fits my hardware configuration.

Intel Z68 chipset, LGA1155 socket.Supports 2nd gen. (32 nm - Sandy Bridge) Intel Core CPUs.

Onboard devices:

• Realtek 8111E Gigabit LAN controller
• Realtek ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
• ASMedia USB 3.0 controller (the 2 blue USB ports at the back panel)

BIOS Settings

Latest stable BIOS: version 4105 (2013/07/23 update, 2013/07/01 build date)

• Del: enter the BIOS setup

• F8: display the boot menu

• F5: reset to default settings (Optimized Defaults)

• Advanced > USB Configuration > EHCI Hand-off: Enabled (optional)

• Advanced > Onboard Devices Configuration > Serial Port Configuration > Serial Port: Disabled (optional)

• Boot > Full Screen Logo: Disabled (optional)

• Boot > Setup Mode: Advanced Mode (optional)

Do not touch option 'Boot > PCI ROM Priority', in my case it crashes the BIOS and a clear CMOS is then needed

Patched BIOS to avoid kernel panic with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

You can use NullCPUPowerManagement.kext (no Intel SpeedStep and no sleep) or patch the BIOS using UEFIPatch:

/! This operation can brick your motherboard, do it at your own risk /!
Flash your BIOS using 'ASUS EZ Flash 2 Utility' and file P8Z68-V-LX-ASUS-4105.ROM.patched.

DSDT

My tests (sleep, wake, shutdown..) have concluded that there is no need to generate a patched DSDT.aml file.

OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi vs OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi

When using Nvidia Web Driver with a MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G, I randomly get Error allocating 0x800 pages at boot time in verbose mode.I couldn't fix this issue.

I've tried to replace OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi by OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi without success: I then always get Error - requested memory exceeds our allocated relocation block.

Tested using Clover v2.3k r3766 (packaged with MultiBeast 9.0.1), r3974 and r3998.

See issue #2 for possible solutions.

BIOS boot entry

The ASUS P8Z68 UEFI BIOS will recognize a USB key configured with Clover 'Install for UEFI booting only' but not a hard drive.

Using old Clover versions you could boot on using Clover USB key and add the boot entry for your hard drive into the BIOS using 'Clover Boot Options' > 'Add Clover boot options for all entries'.This is not possible anymore (why?), instead you will need to manually add the boot entry.

Open 'Clover > Start UEFI Shell 64' and play with bcfg:
