Hello. I previously was having artifacting issues everywhere with my 660ti. So I went ahead and bought a R9 280 to try and solve this issue. So far it seems to have worked! I no longer have artifacting once I am logged into my account and its completely usable. However immediately after reboot and before I login to my account the login screen is completely artifacting, which is really annoying. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve it?

Running 10.13.4; sometimes my USB Soundbar will be playing music and slowly start to static out. Switching audio channels (my monitor is listed as an audio channel but doesn't have speakers) will fix it. I haven't ever had this issue before, so I'm leading to believe it's a bug with 10.13.4 and a kext I use.

I use IntelGraphicsFixup, Lilu, NvidiaGraphicsFixup, Shiki, USBInjectAll, and XHCI-200-series-injector. I'm thinking it's an issue with the USBInjectAll/XHCI-200 because of this being a USB soundbar and not needing drivers. I've never had this issue happen before, and I don't use AppleALC or anything of the sort.

As the title says. Ive used macs for 20 years and will continue too, however i would also like to have some umph on occasion for gaming and VR.

The new Nuc with the Vega got me thinking about building a system around a eGPU, which OS X now adds native support, instead of it being an addition. My thinking was you could save some money(besides the eGPU of course).

The easy thing to do, which i will likely do, is wait for the new mini and hope it has TB3. Until then i thought it might be worth discussing. Im terrible at building PCs, which is also why im asking.

So I have a secondary pc that I use as a downstairs gaming pc/ media box. I get little use from it and want to build a hackintosh, but many of its parts are seem to not be compatible with mac os, but some parts are. Would it be best for me to sell the whole computer and just buy new parts from scratch? Here is the part list

I for the life of me can't get USB 3.0 working on this, can someone please walk me through this? I have tried using "USBInjectAll.kext" and the appropriate patch in Clover with no results.

Hello Reddit!

I'm currently running an almost fully working Hackintosh, and I'm trying to figure out how I would, software-wise, make the switch to an i5 from my Pentium. What do I need to change to make it bootable? I no longer have access to another mac, so it's not an option for me to just reinstall.

Any help is appreciated, as always. :)

Just a quick question, anyone else having any issues with this update? I’ve been running a solid build for a very long time but ever since meltdown security issue, I stopped upgrading. I decided to upgrade last night and everything is running fine and NVIDIA web driver works fine too. My issue: stutter despite low cpu and GPU usage. Chrome runs very sluggish and stops working every now and then. The whole build feels extremely slow compared to before where it used to be super snappy. Kodi runs slower than my fire tv lol.

Some information: I use clover, 4770K 1080 Ti SLI and 32GB DDR 3 (2800mhz). Everything works.

Does anyone have a list of what the different values for the -shikivga boot flag do? I think it would be helpful for people!

Alright, I’ve been out of the Hackintosh loop for a year or two, and with the latest release of High Sierra, I’ve read that my GPU situation should now be better.

Can you guys help me out with links or guides to whatever I need to get running after macOS is installed?

Thanks in advance guys.

Don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but when I hover my mouse over something like over the YouTube player on a video, you would expect the play button and volume ui to appear. Also, on drop down menus on MacOS, they should be highlighted when you hover your mouse over them. But mine does nothing. I have to hold down the right mouse button and then hovering over things kinda works. This also happens in FPS games where I cant look around unless i'm holding down the left mouse button. I know it is not the mouse because I have tried other mice and still the same thing. Does anyone know what this issue is and if there is any fixes for it? Thanks

I recently had to fiddle with the BIOS a bit regarding an unrelated issue, and my BIOS menu got stuck because there were too many boot entries. I managed to remove the entries via EFI shell, but that was a pain in the ass, so I'd rather not do it again. The boot entries were caused by the old clover issue of making a new boot entry every boot cycle.

I already tried hiding /EFI/Boot/Clover and the partition UUID from the clover GUI, to no avail (didn't even disappear from GUI). I decided that maybe I could fix by updating clover. I downloaded the latest clover, made a dd backup of my old partition, and installed the new clover. Kexts, ACPI, and info.plist were not even removed by the installation process.

After the first reboot cycle, no issues occurred, however, the next day I suddenly got a kernel panic related to AppleALC. The panic itself was related to a page fault.

I managed to solve this issue by booting into my old install from clover on my install USB, and dd'ing my backup back.

Any explanations are more than welcome, as are solutions to the boot entry problem.

tl;dr I updated clover and got a kernel panic

Hello!

I am going to be upgrading my system from a Pentium G4560 and the Intel Stock cooler, to an i5 and NZXT Kraken X52... but how would pump control and stuff work? Obviously NZXT CAM isn't available for Mac... If I'm booting both Windows and macOS, can I just change the settings in Windows, and they still apply in macOS? Will the pump and/or fans run at full speed?

I'm legitimately wondering why the general consensus here seems to be that High Sierra is worse than Sierra. Aside from a slightly lower Cinebench score, I've had amazingly rock-solid performance (aside from sleep) on my build that surpasses Sierra in some ways. Are there under-the-hood changes that warrant HS as being worse? The OS has been completely stable for me.

Hi, I have been looking at laptops to build a Hackintosh out of and I am curious if the HP EliteBook Folio 9470m is a good laptop to use?

I have heard people say the screen is bad, is this a major problem?

Hi, I am currently on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2 The App Store is asking me to update to 10.13.4 which is the latest version. Is this safe to do, or will it break my Hackintosh?

I have a 5820K/980 Ti/X99 Deluxe Hackintosh going. It's been up for a couple days of real use, and it's really great. It feels like the Mac mini I had when I was a kid, but it never slows down, and chews through everything I can throw at it. I love it to death.

I just run in to the issue often where depending on the reset, I boot or error with the same flags - dart=0, npci=0x2000, slide=0, and -v. All of the other flags work regardless, but I've both errored out and had to retry AND successfully booted with or without slide=0. It's totally fine, I'm just wondering if there's any way to not have to baby this computer through the boot process. Everything else has been roses, but I wish I could leave it alone to do it's thing while I go get a muffin in the morning, instead of having to keep an eye on it.

I'm booting 12.13.3, and my smbios is the very vanilla iMac14,2.

Hello everyone!

I'm planning to build a Hackintosh, and of course, I want to use Bluetooth. I have a Bluetooth dongle and I'm wondering if it will work with macOS High Sierra. I have all drivers.

Hi, I am really keen to make a Hackintosh laptop, however, I only want to spend around £200 on it, does anyone know any laptops (reasonably lightweight and thin) that work with Hackintosh for under that, I can maybe go a little bit over. I have seen models like HP EliteBook Folio 9470m and the HP ProBook 430 G1.

I would like a Backlit keyboard and a resolution of 1600x900 if possible, but its not essential.

I would also appreciate any good guides anyone know of

Thanks

Hello, I was just wondering what is the best laptop to use as a hackintosh

most of the guides even apple's download page assumes you're on 10.13.0+

Hey guys, I want to make my first Hackintosh, and I have a few questions:

• Can I safely use my iCloud account on my Hackintosh? Can I reliably develop on it? iOS dev?
• Will my build below be compatible as a Hackintosh? Should I make any changes? Thank you!

Hey all,

I have a fresh install of macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and everything is running incredibly well. All native features are working, wifi, etc. I tried to play Fortnite a moment ago and the game was incredible laggy making it impossible to play. I know the graphics can handle it and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you!

Hello, I have everything working well except for my usb 3.0 ports, I read online that I need to create a Custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext but I am not sure what changes I need to make. My kernels and kext patches on clover currently say this:

APPLEUSBXHCIPCI .... Find[HEX]: 83BD74FF FFFF10 Replace[HEX]: 83BD74FF FFFF1B

I appreciate the help! Thank you in advance

As of 10.13.3 all my USB ports were working at full usb 3.0 speeds. After upgrading to 10.13.4, my front USB ports refuse to work with USB3-only devices. USB 2.0 devices continue to work on the front ports fine.

Clover shows bootable USB3 devices on the front ports during the boot screen as well.

I suspect something will need to change with the Kext patch but I'm not sure what.

Details:

• Motherboard: Gigabyte z170 Ultra Gaming
• Clover: 4411
• Kexts: RehabMan-USBInjectAll-2018-0102
• Kext Patches:
  • Change 15 Port Limit to 24 in XHCI kext 10.13 PB1: AppleUSBXHCIPCI 837D8C10 -> 837D8C1B

Hi,

its a known issue that any NVIDIA driver AFTER .106 has a few lag issues on 1000 NVIDIA series of GPUs.

now all though, but apparently 1070 Ti and 1080 Ti are the most affected. its specially noticeable when using chrome or safari.

i tried all 10.13.4 betas up to the beta 7 with the NVIDIA driver .161 and the lag was always there forcing me to roll back to .106

has anyone tried the final release 10.13.4? is the lag fixed with the most recent NVIDIA drivers like .160 or .161?

NVIDIA hasn't released a new one yet..

thanks in advance.
