Low buget Hackintosh - Intel Pentium

Hi guys !

In 2015 I decided to put macOS on my system but I failed because I didn't quite understand how to make a proper bootable USB with kexts and all of that but 6 months ago I did it !!! And everything is working as it should !!!

I have the following:

Intel Pentium G3220 Gigabyte B85M-D2V Kingston 8 GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB SSD Sirtec 500 W power supply Segotep C1 case. Samsung TV 42 inch Full HD

CPU:

The CPU is preety good. I know that i5 or i7 is even better but macOS is working just fine with my CPU, no lags or anything like that.

I sometimes use iMovie to edit 1080p video and the export time for this is like 10 minutes for 4-5 minutes of 1080p video (something around that) and that's quite decent for a dual core without HT.

Final Cut Pro is freezing with GTX 750 but with GT 210 doesn't have any problems at all. Strange I know. Low-end card works better. I think that the CPU is bottlenecked or something like that (If you have a solution that's greatly apreciated).

GPU:

Nothing special to say about just the NVIDIA drivers that are always late for new macOS versions and the sound via HDMI works only after I put my machine to sleep. Metal 2 API is working !!!

Motherbaord:

Great ! It's working a plain config.plist with only FakeCPUID and some CPU optimizations for Pentium. That's it ! No DSDT, nothing ! Every USB port work even 3.0 without a single patch !

SSD:

It gets the job done !

Case:

This case doesn't have USB 3.0 and no RGB. So I am planning get a new case (mATX) with new fans !!!

Working:

Audio, GPU, HDMI Sound (only after sleep), CPU, USB ports, everything !
