Complete hardware description

  • Gigabyte B360M D3H
  • Intel i3-8100 @3.60GHz
  • Sapphire Radeon RX 580 Nitro+
  • 4x4GB DDR4 2400MHz
  • Wifi and Bluetooth card (PCI-express 1x adapter BCM943602CS)
  • Dual monitor setup:
    • 4K monitor (DisplayPort)
    • 1080p vertical monitor (HDMI)
  • Triple boot system
    • 500GB NVME SSD for Windows
    • 500GB SDD for MacOS
    • 500GB SDD for Linux

Dual boot

Because I mainly use Windows and Linux (for professional reasons) I didn't need a quick dual boot setup. When I want to boot on macOS, I press F12 to select the BIOS startup disk.

Material required

  • 16GB USB Flash Drive The new macOS Catalina doesn't fit anymore on a 8GB flash drive, because I had problems on the past with my USB 3.0 flash drive, I use an old USB 2.0 flash drive to hackintosh
