Hi! I was running a game while screen-recording the other day, just as a test. The performance was terrible. I later realized that my fans weren't revving up, and temperature sensing programs had false thermals for both my CPU and GPU. Is there any way that I can get my system to detect the correct temperatures so that it can keep them cool?

My macbook died, so I brought my work pc (hackintosh) home from the office. Both of these are on El Capitan, used NordVPN, and were on routers set up by me.

What I don't understand is, why the "port is closed" on the hackintosh at home. Transmission worked fine on my macbook on the same network, Yet the hackintosh can't connect to anything.

I'm curious if it has to do with the wrong device id? maybe need to edit the DTST line? I was having trouble getting my ethernet recognized at first, so I think it's possible I don't have the exact id.

Thank you in advance!
My current equipment: -CPU:Ryzen 5 1500x -Mobo: ASRock AB350 Pro 4 -Case: G5

As I start to plan my build, I am currently looking at a good yet affordable video card. I do not game and just plan on using it for everyday use and light photoshopping. Any recommendations on good/ affordable video cards that would suit my needs.

Thank you!

Hey Everyone,

Before I start here is my PC

i5 4590

GTX 970

TL-Wn881ND

ASROCK Z97 Anniversary

8GB Ram

Ok so for the past year and a half I have (had) been running a Duel-Boot system of Windows 10 and El Capitan on the same drive no issues whatsoever. Yesterday night though by mistake I fucking quick-formatted the Mac Partition from Windows :/ .

Luckily, my Clover bootloader is there but now I need to reinstall OSX/MacOs and since I am going to be starting fresh I was woundering if I should go ahead and install High Sierra or regular Sierra. Also, would my bootloader cause any issues or would it work fine?

Thanks!

Hello guys it is the first time that i'm attempting this so I would like your thoughts and wisdom. My system is: CPU: intel core i3-4170 3.70ghz RAM: 8gb of DDR3 motherboard: asrock H81M-VG4 R2.0 GPU: Amd R7250-OC-2GD3

Can I run Hign sierra and if yes what should I look out for IF NOT what is the latest os x version my pc could run? if any

Edit: a word

Hey everyone, I have a desktop I built about a year ago, and am wondering how compatible it would be with MacOS Sierra (or High Sierra).

The main specs are:

Motherboard: MSI H110M ECO (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130910)

CPU: Intel i3-6100 (Skylake) (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=2MN-0004-00002)

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 470 (N/A) Wireless card: TP-Link AC1900 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TQEX7AQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I've done some research, and it appears that the Motherboard and CPU are supported out of the box, but the graphics card had mixed results.

Dumb question, but if it all is compatible, do I just follow the Vanilla guide in the sidebar? Would I need any special kexts not mentioned, especially for the graphics card?

Thanks!

Thank you to all the people in this group, I have managed to dual boot High Sierra on my build along with windows 10. Hackintosh runs on SSD while windows on HDD

My Specs:

MOBO: MSI z370 A-PRO

Processor: Core i5 8400

Ram: Kingston HyperX 8Gb DDR4 2666MHz

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250Gb

GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6Gb (Nvidia Web Drivers running great)

ONE PROBELM:

I do need some expert help on this issue, I have been unable to use WiFi. I have been using tplink tl-wn727n on my windows machine but it seems to not work on hackintosh no matter what kext files I try. Someone please guide me for the right wifi adapter for my build, also please let me know if anyone was able to use wifi using my adapter make.

Cheers!

Hello community! I bought online an Apple A1314 to use it with my windows PC. I was wondering how I can map the layout to match microsoft's default keyboards, including the shortcuts. Is there a windows driver for that? Thank you!

Hi, I’ve just bought an external dac to listen to some music. I want to connect the dac to the optical out from my hackintosh preferably.

I’ve a Z87-UD3H and I’m using clover. Can I use the optical out or do I need some patch to make it work?

I only need 2.0 audio, no 5.1 etc. It’s just for listening to music.

I prefer to use optical out to usb. I know it will work with usb.

hey guys , am trying to install macos on my pc but i dont know which guide to follow or macos version to install. and i couldnt find any guide that uses my motherboard. any help would be appreciated.

What Works(so far) *Audio *Ethernet *USB 3 *GPU Acceleration

What does not work *No GPU temp, fans etc in HWMonitor(if you have any idea how to fix this it will be appreciated )

Yh as the title says here is the Specs

And I’ve added an extra 4gb of ram so 8 in total

Hi fellows,

Is there a solution at the moment to get alc283(from deskmini) working in 10.13? I have done some research and it seems quite difficult, if possible at all.

Hello,

My Hackintosh laptop is nearly complete! I've got Sierra booted and running stable on my laptop. Ethernet is working but I want to get WIFI working as well.

Could anyone suggest a WIFI USB that is working, I've seen some around but read mixed things.

Also, is it worth replacing the WIFI card on my laptop? I've seen some people have done this. My laptop is an Acer Aspire V5 571 is that's any help.

Thanks

It would be super interesting to see benchmarks of a similar configuration, except, of course, the xeon vs the threadripper under macOS.

I have an AMD 6950 that is incompatible with OSX. I am looking to swap it out with someone for something that is compatible, of a comparable age to the 6950.

Which would be better for Final Cut? An old Nvidia or old AMD?

Got com.apple.windowserver ran for 0 seconds error when trying to boot up the high sierra installer and it looks like I'll need to disable nvidia using a property injection outlined in this post.

How exactly should I format that code within the Clover Configurator properties box?

Had high sierra installed and I updated it now it wont boot. GG fuck this.

OS: High Sierra w/ APFS
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7
CPU: i7 4790k
GPU: MSI R9 390x gaming 8gb

Issues:

• Audio not working have AppleACL.kext installed.
  
• Restart with clover bootloader usb shows the usb installer, filevault prebooter, macos install prebooter, macOS, and boot recovery. It does not show my Windows 10 installation on my other SSD.
  
• Restart without usb plugged in doesn't have a bootload menu at all. How do I get a clover menu to show me the option of booting from macOS or Windows (seperate sdd's)?
  
• iMessage doesn't work
  

Any other common issues I should look for?

When I try to boot in safe mode and verbose I get this error -https://imgur.com/a/ihQsN

Here is my whole clover folder- https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D7uygbWQGEUxV-PaN1JKUR4WeHEc0Xkw

I have edited the .plist with clover, I have the correct boot arguments. I also have the Nvidia web notion checked.

I have 2x SSD's: 250gb 850 pro, 500gb 850 evo.
HDD: 3TB
I currently have windows installed on the 250gb one which I want to format and change to mac os and give the 500gb one to windows. In the disk utility it shows me several options:

• name size type
  
• disk2s1 134.2mb microsoft reserved
  
• disk0s1 471.9mb windows recovery

I tried selecting disk0s4 -> erase -> Format APFS -> Erase process has failed. MediaKit reports not enough space on device for requested operation.

Having a huge problem with the Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H Z87

I was running into some issues while trying to install High Sierra and saw a suggestion to switch to the integrated gpu until the installation was done. I did that only to find that my IGPU is shot. Now I can’t even get back to the bios to switch to my gtx 680s. Any way I can reset the bios or switch default gpus without seeing the menus?

Any help is appreciated!

Hey, I have 7700k, Asus Z270F, GTX 1080, managed to install the USB but when I boot clover I can't see the MacOS installation, it's just windows things.

Just wondering if this has been done yet. Most of the tutorials I'm finding (if you can call them tutorials) are for much older OS like Mountain Lion or Mavericks. I recently got my Hackintosh tower up and running (Ryzen 3 1200 and GTX 970), but I've always wanted to get my Latitude running Sierra as well, or at least El Capitan. Anyone have success trying this, or any pointers on where to start?

Dell Latitude E6330 Core i5 3320M @ 2.6GHz with Intel HD Graphics 4000 Broadcom 802.11n (pretty sure I'll have to change this) Intel 82579LM Giganit LAN

I am looking at either trading up to a newer MacBook Pro (15”) or an iMac (27”) to replace my mid 2015 MacBook Pro (13”). I use my current MacBook for everything from developing games and programming to basic content viewing. I would like a little more power and something I could use to power a 34” Ultra widescreen monitor for programming. My first instinct was a newer MacBook pro that I could leave docked until I wanted to go portable, how ever I feel like getting a hackintosh would be way better bang for the buck and would suit me better as I could keep my current MacBook pro for when I needed to go portable. My question is, what would be the best budget friendly hackintosh build that would get me at least 16GBs RAM and preferably an i7. I would also need a decent graphics card as I do a hood chunk of game design in 3D using Unity and Blender/Maya. I’d love to stay around the $1000 max range, but would be willing to put more aside for it. Also, I would definitely like a build that has the most compatibility with getting iMessage and other features working.

I am going to retry my High Sierra Hackintosh install, follow the Vanilla method this time, but before doing so I wanted to ask about Time Machine. My current High Sierra installation was using the Multibeast + Unibeast method, and I am now worried that since Time Machine already created a backup, it had to have backed up the things Multibeast and Unibeast performed, correct? For instance, when I installed High Sierra, Time Machine was able to restore old themes I had running on El Capitan's clover boot screen. Is there any way I can perhaps go in and clean up the MultiBeast+UniBeast stuff from my Time Machine restore to truly make it a "vanilla" restore? Or perhaps another method to currently backup my existing data before I start the entire fresh install?

One final question: Would the "fresh install" listed on hackintosher.com suffice for a "vanilla" install? Also, is it worthwhile to jump the ship on High Sierra in general? Or should upgrading to Sierra, and perhaps waiting ~6-12 months then upgrade to High Sierra be better?

System Specs:

• Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H

I have tried many, many different methods and at this point, the most promising seems to be Corpnewt's guide. I have followed through, trying to install High Sierra. I manage to boot up to Clover but there is no "external" drive displayed, in fact there is none.

I have tried another method where instead of using the terminal to put the installation media on the flash drive, I use the High Sierra patcher to make the larger partition have the install app on it.

This method worked, I got it to install, but when I checked the HDD I installed it on (140GB 7200RPM drive) had no EFI partition, and no matter what I tried I couldn't manually create one myself.

I've exhausted all of my knowledge and everything else I've found on the internet so far...please help!

So specs: i5 7400 3gb 1060 8gb of ram And I don’t know the motherboard But here is the link to the prebuilt.

Title says it all. What do I need to do to prepare my hack for my upgrade from a gtx 750ti to a gtx 1060? Build is a kaby lake i5, b250 motherboard, sierra 10.12.6 booting using clover and nvidia web drivers. Thanks!

Hey guys, i finally set up my first hackintosh. Everything went fine, but i cant boot without the USB Stick. Im on Sierra.

Thanks for your help! :)

I'm backing up one of y two terabyte disks and I would like to run High Sierra, should I use the new HFS?

I have been out of the Hackintosh game for a couple years, and want to get back into it. My motherboard a MSi Z87 MPOWER Max needed a patch back in the Yosemite days and I was just wondering if I still need the BIOS to be patched.

Thanks!
