Most of the people are using the Mac operating system such as Mojave and Catalina on their Windows PC. The best way to select the correct SMBIOS is to use Clover Configurator and from the SMBIOS section choose the closest Apple’s SMBIOS to match your hardware. Open Clover Configurator navigate to SMBIOS section like shown in the picture bellow and click on the SMBIOS selector and navigate through the list and find the best matching config and select it, Save the new config and that’s pretty much it.

Before this when I first install the Hackintosh I was using MacBook Air 6,2 which is really bad for Laptop. I'm suing Skylake so found MacBook Pro best for me. You may have question like why changing SMBIOS is important ? Yes, It is very important to change the SMBIOS. I am using the MacBook Pro13,2 but for a minute assume that I am using MacBook Air (8,1) which as core 2 duo then the Mac OS performs like 'Hey this laptop is using core 2 duo so minimize the performance, and also while updates and patches, Hey don't install Nvidia drivers to this laptop because it has not Nvidia drivers.' and this may get you into kernal panic. I think you got what I mean to say rite?
As I am one who changed the SMBIOS without any problems, But I've seen people in forum sites claim that changing SMBIOS from Clover got them stuck into Kernel Panic and need to re-install the entire OS. So, I recommend you to do following things before you change anything:
1) First Read : Before You Make Any Changes
2)Update your Clover Boot Loader
3)Update Config.plist
4)Download Clover Configurator (if you've not installed already)
Now, First thing you need to know which system do you have? What processor you're using(Broadwell, Haswell, Skylake)? Choose the one that match from EveryMac site . (For Laptop Users always recommended go with MacBook Pro) Once, you have choose that is likely best match with your system. Come back in Clover Configurator and click on Magic icon > Choose Mac Types > and select the one that you choose from EveryMac.
You are good to go, Mount your EFI and navigate through
EFI/EFI/Clover/
using Finder
and Right Click
on Config.plist
and open with Clover Configurator then goto SMBIOS Click on Magic Button and Click on Macbook Types and choose you desired one click ok then save the Config.plist
with File > Save exit Clover Configurator. Open TerminalShutdown computer and turn on
Click on Apple Logo > About This Mac
Congratulations You've just changed your SMBIOS!!

For all these steps you will need to edit your config.plist. When messing around with the SBMIOS settings it's recommended create a backup first before proceeding:
- Mount your EFI partition with Clover Configurator
- Navigate to /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/kexts/Other
- Backup your config.plist by making a duplicate copy of it and renaming the backup something else i.e. config-smbios-backup.plist
- Right-click config.plist and open with Clover Configurator
- Click SMBIOS on left side
- Copy the Serial Number
- Go to checkcoverage.apple.com
- Paste Serial Number and click Continue
- If it comes back as valid you will need to generate a new serial number until you get a error or invalid serial number
- Go back to Clover Configurator SMBIOS section
- Repeat Generate New and paste to checkcoverage.apple.com until you get an Invalid Serial Number
Now that you have your own invalid serial number you need to replace the Board Serial Number with one containing your Invalid Serial Number along with 5 random digits. Since they can be any digits I keep the last five digits of the Board Serial Number and replace the first 12 with the Serial Number
- Copy Serial Number
- Replace the first 12 digits of Board Serial Number with the copied Serial Number
- Open Terminal
- Generate a unique string by entering uuidgen into Terminal
- Copy & Paste the generated UUID value from Terminal into SmUUID in Clover Configurator -> SMBIOS
- Save config.plist
- Restart Hackintosh
- Select RTVariables in Clover Configurator
- Set ROM value to UseMacAddr0
RTVaraibles -> MLB can be left blank once the steps are followed. You can also use one off a valid Mac that you own if you wish, but it is not required or experiment with an MLB generator if you wish, but again following the steps above you shouldn't have any issues with simply leaving MLB blank.
BooterConfig
- Set RTVariables -> BooterConfig to 0x28 for Intel for a AMD/Ryzen machine leave it at the value it's already set at.
Smbios Mac Mini
- CsrActiveConfig or SIP should be left in the disabled state i.e. 0x67 for more information see: Enable & Disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) on a Hackintosh
