Process to Install Hackintosh Mojave on Z390 and i5 9600k 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 Z390 and i5 9600k CPU. We will be using Intels 9th Generation CPU with Z390 Phanthom Gaming Motherboard to build our hackintosh.
This is a medium-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.
Everything works so far, I have not yet found any issues. Many people are reporting problems with Sleep/Shutdown/Wake, which is not the case in this build. Make sure you use my EFI folder and all should be good. All the USB ports are working also there is no problems with detecting the Graphics Card as hackintosh Mojave will detect the AMD RX 580 out of the box.
**If you wan to use the Intel Core i7-9700K CPU for Hackintosh Mojave build, this will still work. All you need to do is change the Model to iMac 18,3 in SMBIOS.
**I have not tested the DP as I am using HDMI on my 27 inch 4k LG Monitor.
Without wasting any further time, please look at the configuration requirements.
Parts Used to Build hackintosh Mojave
Please Note: If you have 2 Monitors and want to use them with HDMI port, Please buy graphics card with two HDMI ports. THe above mentioned card has 2 HDMi port and is the lowest price listed on Amazon.

CREATE A BOOTABLE USB INSTALLER
*****Very Important – You would need to use the EFI folder from Required Files section for this tutorial. As this EFI folder is specifically tested to install Hackintosh Mojave on Z390 and i5 9600K CPU.
UPDATING BIOS SETTINGS on Z390
First you need to Insert the USB installer’ into the USB 2.0 Port and Start your PC. The USB 2.0 port is recommended because in some cases the USB 3.0 Port may not work during installation process. If the USB 3.0 port is working, then feel free to use it. (Give it a try).
****I used the usb 2.0 port for my wireless keyboard and the USB installer. Both were detected during the install process.
*** Plug your Monitor to the HDMI Port on the AMS RX 580 GPU.
Now during the PC is starting up keep pressing the BIOS or UEFI Menu button to access the BIOS or UEFI Menu. For most Motherboards, the BIOS or UEFI Menu is placed on the DELETE button on the keyboard. (Please note your BIOS interface would look different but the options will be same in most cases).
