I started out with a Radeon HD 7970 on my first Hackintosh and later got a second one. Seemed to be plug and play and they worked great. I later upgraded to a Nvidia 980 Ti and used web drivers and that card has been working good as well. Now I have a new Hackintosh and I'm still using my 980...

Hello all, First time poster. I have searched the forum and seen this somewhat touched on but not really to my situation: Trying to build a Hackintosh laptop. I currently have a late 2017 iMac 27 inch so I have the ability to build at a good pace while being able to use my DAWS and not worry...

First build. Building primarily for use in home recording studio. Heavily invested in the UAD platform, Apollo 8p and OCTO Satellite require thunderbolt 2 (hence the converters). I've gone with a few quiet parts including the PSU, CPU heat sync and case. Please could anyone who has had...

First time build. Currently shortlisting my choices for my new Music production Hackintosh. I'm going to be running my audio interface which is a Universal Audio Apollo 8p and my Satellite OCTO DSP via the Gigabyte thunderbolt card. I'm planning to overclock the CPU from 3.7GHz to 5.0GHz also...

I've had this build for a few years and it was pretty solid in the beginning. Now the two main issues I'm having: Almost daily my onboard NIC will stop passing traffic. I resolve the issue with ifconfig en0 down/up and it's back to normal. I have also had issues with uploading files via web...

Hey everybody, First of all i wanna say thanks for all the inspiration i got browsing through this forum. I was always building my own PCs many years ago before i switched to mac. Sometimes I really missed it, so let's see how it will feel a few weeks from now :D I am about to build something...

So, thanks for entertaining all the noob questions. I've learned a lot about clover, which was new to me. So it wasn't for nothing. I am in an interesting position. With the stock machine, I have dual displays via displayport on the quadro, Sleep, as well as the on board ethernet working. I...

Hi guys, I built a dual boot rig in about April and ever since then, when using Mac OSX, the computer will randomly freeze (Windows is 100% rock solid). No matter what I'm doing, what's running, or if I'm not doing anything at all, it will inevitably freeze. Whether it's 10 seconds after boot...

Hi all. This is my first build Hack oriented work with Audio Inbox for now. I dont add graphic card for now because i will play by firsts and starts. I would add one or two extra case fans but i dont know choose and place them (positions). [CORE] MOTHERBOARD: Asus Z97-A/USB 3.1...

Hi there! I'm a first time builder looking to build a DAW workstation (and a bit of gaming) I first need to choose my CPU and motherboard but found this a bit confusing :wtf: Motherboard: Lots of USB ports preferred On board graphics not necessary as I will be getting a single graphics card...

Finally made a decision to take the plunge. My hackintosh computer will be exclusively used for music production using Protools 11, Logic X, Ableton 9, and the UAD Apollo Quad interface. I would like to install OSX Yosemite. After much research I've decided on the following: Motherboard...

Hey guys, Is there anyone there that have already tested Cubase 7 (or 7,5) into a Hackintosh with a Haswell processor? I'd like this setup: i7 4790 H87 or H97 (not sure wich would go better for drivers and integrated HD4600 graphics) Crucial 16gb RAM Samsung EVO SSD 256gb Focusrite Saffire LE...

Hello All, I recently discovered the hackintosh world, and I’m getting ready (physically and psychologically) for my first build. This computer will be a DAW station (I work on Logic 9) and I would like to use OSX Mavericks (10.9.5 cause I don’t know my plug-ins compatibility on Yosemite)...

Hello everybody, First of all, thanks for this great community. I've been following this website for years but I rarely post something but now seems the right moment to ask for your advice. Within 2-3 weeks I want to buy my first Hackintosh. My configuration is mostly based on the Buyer's...

Hi all, I'm thinking about treating myself once I pass the Series 7 (god willing) to a new computer. I want to build a hackintosh for use as a DAW with logic X. I'm thinking an i7 4790k, and at-least 16gigs of RAM too. The main questions I have are should I look into a high quality...

This is my build to use as a Logic X and Pro Tools DAW. I will post hardware specs with links if someone will verify that I am allowed to link Microcenter as this was the place that I bought the parts. Created USB Image using Unibeast 2.1.0 and Retail Apple Mountain Lion 10.8.5 release...
