I have dabbled with hackintosh a few years back but with no real success.
I had a spare ssd lying around and yesterday I decided to give it another shot, this time using Mojave.
After a short time playing around it is working flawlessly.
Here are my specs:
-
Processor: i7-8700
-
GPU: RX 470
-
Motherboard: Asus TUF series (I do not know the exact model number)
I started the install on a different computer but was only able to boot to a blank screen with cursor I was using integrated graphics, I decided to see if using a gpu would help. But after installing the gpu I couldn't even boot to bios (that old computer may be dead now)
I put the drive into an enclosure and plugged it into my main desktop and it booted and worked just fine. I only had to install new network drivers for intel and I signed into icloud without any work around. I did not test messages or face time, but all my iCloud and app store stuff works just fine.
Since 2016 I had a 13" pro and I would occasionally do some final cut stuff (home video things) and it would take forever to render. Now I am just messing around but there is almost no waiting for short stuff. I am in love with this build and am consistently impressed with its performance.
