The ASUS X299 Hackintosh repository contains OpenCore EFI distributions and related files that can be used as a reference when setting up or updating your X299 Hackintosh with the OpenCore bootloader. While the EFIs can be used as a starting point for all ASUS X299 boards, it is still highly recommended to review the OpenCore Vanilla Desktop Guide and Skylake-X section for a full guide. These files were created using the ASUS ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore as a baseline.

- Uses one of the USB ports on the back of the motherboard to connect internal devices in the case. You can use two of these together and remove 1 of the pins to make a "9 pin internal adapter". If the cable is too short to reach inside the case, you can extend with a USB A extension cable.
