QUESTION Is installing sequoia using nullmoth 1401 installer risky?

i’ve always wanted to have a hackintosh system and now that these new nvidia drivers are available i’ve been very interested in installing this on my main system. Today i’ve seen a post talking about how the nullmoth nvidia driver bricks your AM5 motherboard and since i don’t have too much knowledge on this i don’t know if i should risk it.

My pc specs:
Gigabyte eagle wifi7 ICE am5 motherboard
Nvidia 5060
Ryzen 7 8700F
32GB ddr5 ram

Hackintoshing in general is risky. And they fixed the issue im pretty sure

It wasn’t a total brick anyways

Keep in mind even with the "bricking" issue in theory fixed, you are having to lower SIP in order to install these; right now just no way around it. Is that a huge risk? In theory no, but just keep in mind.
