Process to Install Hackintosh Mojave on H370-I and Intel i3 8100 CPU
Hello guys, I am here with another tutorial on building Hackintosh. In this video tutorial I will show you the step by step process to install Hackintosh Mojave on H370-I and i3 8100 CPU. This is a budget build, and for those who want to build an Hackintosh with limited money to spend, can go ahead and build this computer. If you are an Nvidia GPU user, you would not be able to successfully build the hackintosh.
Nvidia has not yet provided any support for Mojave drivers and therefore many hackintosher’s have decided to ditch Nvidia and proceed with AMD Graphics Cards.

What Parts You Need For this Budget HACKINTOSH Build
Whats Not Working ?
The on board wifi does not work but the ethernet port is working, therefore, if you wish to use the ethernet port for internet, you don’t need to buy the usb wifi card. Also, if you play around with some kexts or patches, you may have it working. Some hackintosher’s have had success with the onboard wifi.
People had problems with the RX 470 Graphics card, therefore I recommend you not to go for anything lower than AMD Rx 580 GPU. Also there are different manufacturer’s available, I decided to go with MSI Rx 580 because I needed 2 HDMI 2.0 ports. Buy the card according to the number of DP or HDMI ports you need for you Monitors.
