    Build advice for a Thunderbolt 3 hackintosh

    So I work in video production, mostly After Effects and Premiere which pretty much require NVIDIA'S CUDA cores to run as efficently as possible. I've built my own hackintosh before in 2012, and now want to do a full new build. I've been working off of the Late 2013 Mac Pro for a while now and...

    Fusion Drive Creation Issue - Gigabyte UP5-TH

    Neilhart, I've since picked up a new WD 2TB Caviar Black to replace my Seagate 3TB Barracuda. My Fusion Drive creates fine and I know it is operating well, because I have a custom theme for Chimera on Fusion and that loads upon startup. However, I can't boot into the Fusion Drive, I get a...

    Post 2TB+ HDD's that are confirmed working with Fusion Drive

    Update: I have now created a new Fusion Drive set, and set my BIOS to boot from the SSD first. Now, Chimera loads with the custom theme, so I know it's loading from the "Boot From OS X" partition. I can see the "two drives" thing (Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD 2), but selecting either one of...

    Fusion Drive Creation Issue - Gigabyte UP5-TH

    Middleman, I just picked up a WD Caviar Black 2TB. However with the WD in order to remove the "boot0" error (no fusion drive), I had to follow this guide: http://www.mymac4music.com/2011/10/boot0-error/ Booting then worked fine. Now, should I even bother trying to create a Fusion Drive with...

    Fusion Drive problems with new Advanced Format 4096 byte hard disks?

    I'm having a similar issue, I can create a Fusion Drive, and it shows up in disk utility/desktop, however trying to boot into it results in a boot0 error or a "still waiting for root device." I'm trying to use a 3TB drive + 60GB partition of a Samsung 840.

    Fusion Drive Creation Issue - Gigabyte UP5-TH

    I tried that on a previous fusion build, lemme try it again. It should work, I think. Possibly if I mount to both the hidden /dev/disks

    Differences in System Definitions.

    I'm following Alfa's Gigabyte UP5-TH guide, and I had a question about the system definitions - what's the difference in choosing them? I originally tried MacPro 5,1, but received kernel panics. Leaving the definitions alone gave me MacPro 3,1, but the guide says to use iMac 12,1. (Why not...

    I want to upgrade my Graphics card which is a Radeon 6850. Best choice?

    Any of the NVIDIA 6xx cards work out-of-the box with Mountain Lion. I just picked up a 660ti EVGA Superclocked for my build (~$270), however if I had the cash I would have gotten a 670, either stock or FTW edition. (EVGA is always a good brand, but that's just me). If you plan on staying with...

    G5 Case Mod - Mobo fitting help?

    Eelhead - which ones are the shorter standoffs? Currently I've got the ones with the little "bulb" on the top, and the other ones which have an opening for screws. I've tried the ones with screw openings but I seem to be about a millimeter or two too high for my PCI slots :(
