If you own an old computer that you want to turn into a Hackintosh, you'll probably have to fiddle with its BIOS, which is basically a traditional-style settings page for your motherboard. Since 2012, the BIOS standard has largely been replaced by UEFI, a newer (and better-looking) interface for managing motherboard settings. However, we believe that enough Hackintoshes these days still use BIOS to warrant a guide for it. Gigabyte motherboards have traditionally been the most widely recommended brand for Hackintoshes, so that's what we'll be covering in this tutorial.
While isn't really worth to embark in a 4,1 to 5,1 motherboard transplant, when it comes to 1,1 and 2,1 to 3,1 it might to get native support for the latest OS X (at the time of this writing is EL Capitan with Sierra being in Beta) That's one option if one wants to be able to run the latest OS X on a 1,1/2,1 mac pro. Niresh Mac OS X Mojave Hackintosh DMG supports UEFI compatible computer only and Clover UEFI is used as the default bootloader. It has got support for Apple File System and it is also possible to install macOS Mojave without converting it to APFS.

Not sure whether your computer's Gigabyte-brand motherboard uses BIOS or UEFI? Here's a quick guide to differentiating between the two: the interface of BIOS is usually monochrome and entirely text-based. Meanwhile, the interface of UEFI usually has pictures, and allows you to use your mouse pointer. If your Gigabyte motherboard uses UEFI, check out our UEFI settings guide instead.To enter the BIOS on my own computer's Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3 motherboard, I have to press the delete key when it boots (before the operating system starts). Different manufacturers set different keys for opening the BIOS.

If your Hackintosh already has Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed, the only thing you'll need to change in the BIOS is the 'Boot Device', so that USB drives have highest priority.
If your Hackintosh doesn't have any version of Mac OS X installed yet, you have to change a few extra BIOS settings. Before starting, reset all of your BIOS settings to their factory defaults. On Gigabyte motherboards, you can reset your BIOS settings to their default by selecting 'Load Optimized Defaults' on the main page of the BIOS. Once your BIOS is running on its defaults, you need to change these three settings:
Boot Device - Change the boot device of your computer so that 'USB-HDD' is first. You need to do this for Unibeast to work. After you finish installing Mac OS X, you should change this setting back to default, so that 'Hard Disk' is the first boot device (this optional, but it will speed up your boot times).HPET - Change this to 64-bit.
SATA Control Mode (your BIOS might call this a different name) - This will probably already be set to 'SATA', 'IDE', or 'RAID'. Change it to 'AHCI'. Mac OS X only works with AHCI.

Motherboards For Mac Os Catalina
There is a command to show full details for the machine which im guessing is the one you have already found, but there are several switches that can be used with it to narrow down the information displayed. Hopefully you can find what your looking for using the commands below.

In that case then i'm not sure how to get detailed specifics out of the logic.
Please post if you do find a solution as I would be interested to know.
Good luck.

There is a command to show full details for the machine which im guessing is the one you have already found, but there are several switches that can be used with it to narrow down the information displayed. Hopefully you can find what your looking for using the commands below.
If you type ....
system_profiler
system_profiler -detailLevel mini
or
system_profiler -detailLevel basic
it will display all details about the machine listed in the System Profiler including the Logic Board details. I am unsure of the exact switch to detail just the board details alone but if you type....
system_profiler man
You will get a list of the switches that can be used and hopefully there will be one to narrow down the results displayed to just the Logic details.
Sorry I can't be of more help but that is just about the only way I can think of getting the information you require.
Hope it helps!
