Hello Mac Folks

Hi folks,

I've had my iMac since 2011 and recently the graphics card died. I took it to an authorized Apple repair guy and he said there's nothing he can do because they don't make that graphics card anymore.

I just learned a PC can be used. So does anyone know about the possibility of the following hardware? From my searches it does look compatible.

  • ASRock x399
  • AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X
  • AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB

Also I have noticed no less than THREE websites that show how to get MacOS installed. Is any one of these considered "the best" ?

  • amd-osx.com
  • hackintoshers.com
  • I forgot the 3rd one but it's on this sub somewhere

Last question, is it possible to use iMovie to do movie edits if I get my PC running MacOS? Well, I know it's possible, but I've seen some reports of some errors if the graphics isn't set correctly. I'm just curious of any extra information especially relating to an AMD card on a Ryzen.

Thanks for any info.
