Here is another success story of an old discontinued legacy system. Running flawlessly Catalina with updates 10.5.7, everything works: Spec: Mobo: Asus P6X58D-E GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX580 OC Lite SSD: 512 Transcend 370 RAM: 20Gb USB 3.0:NEC USB 3.0: LAN & Sound (Crippled): Fried by lightning...

I built a USB install disk with Clover and successfully booted into the Big Sur installer. After formatting my SSD to AFPS (Guild Partition Map), I attempted to install big Sur. I received the message that "The Update Cannot Be Installed on This Computer." I tried changing the SMBIOS various...

Question is relative to my legacy EX58-UD3R with a Xeon 5650 rig. My best SMBIOS has always been MacPro 5,1. That was deemed unsupported in Catalina. I installed Catalina using Clover by switching to iMac14,2 SMBIOS. It works but does not function as well as MacPro 5,1 did. Especially in that...

I've seen a ton of posts around this and I've tried everything I could, so I figured I would post my specific setup and see if anyone might be able to help. I was using an old Nvidia GT220 and it wasn't working very well with Catalina so I upgraded to a pulse RX580. I have an X58 chipset old...

Hi there, I've successfully installed my Mac Pro 5.1 with UniBeast. I can boot it successfully from USB drive, but I can't get it to boot from the hard drive. I have installed Clover in the HD EFI folder. My approach was, rather than run Multibeast, clone the USB EFI folder to the HD EFI...

Hi there, This is a cry for help. I have followed many guides and none has fully helped me in achieving my hackintosh. My rig is the following: - Intel Xeon W3680 - Gigabyte X58A UD3R FE - ATI Radeon HD7950 I am trying to replicate the MacPro 5.1 Westmere (2012) configuration. I have been...

Hello Hackintosh-Community, I’ve been being interested in building a Hackintosh since I first touched an apple device. Now, here, I have an old PC here on which I want to run macOS. I’ve already tried to find some existing threads on that topic but haven’t found anything useful. Also, I am new...

Things were looking much better on this attempt on my X58 legacy bios board until the installer got to the 3rd (I think) restart at which point the clover options had changed, offering first.... boot FileVault prebooter from preboot. boot macos install prebooter from preboot. boot macOS from...

Have somebody the same problem and know a way ?

I've just finished my first build on an old computer with 10.12.6 using legacy Clover and Multibeast. I used 14,2 and the build succeeded without a hitch. I also ran ssdtPRGen to generate an SSDT for my i7-960 processor but the GeekBench benchmark is incredibly slow. What could I have done...

I am not having success booting High Sierra in my DX58SO. Any success? Could you share the Kexts and patches used?

Hi, this is my first post there, and i really need help. I try every possible tutorial on internet to do a dualboot on my system but no one works. So i need someone who can help me with all the process. I need full support and understanding, patience, time and much moral support. I need some one...

I was in the proces of updating to El Capitann, never had any issues before. This time, the kernel can not be found in my USB boot drive. During the process, I somehow affected my current setup and am currently locked out of my machine. It gets as far as the logo, and hangs up in a kernel...

Hi all.. I have old hackie using GA X58-UD3R and i7 950, but the motherboard is not working properly and I'd like to use the processor to built a new one. I'm thinking built a mac mini. Do you think there is new motherboard still compatible with this processor available in market? Which one...

Hi everyone! It's my first working hackintosh attempt. :) The only issue I have is when I boot to Sierra, and reboot my PC, the RAM voltage goes insane. (DDR3 2.5V) o_O and resets 2 other voltages to Auto (My OC doesn't work with) MB: Gigabyte X58A-UD7 1.0 F8 CPU: Intel Xeon X5650 @4GHz GPU...

Long time reader first time poster: I am pretty much a novice at this, although I have had been running a hackintosh since 2010 (sno leo lifehacker build). I have upgraded and built new systems a variety of times but for the most part have always been able to find the answers to my questions...

For years I have been dealing with poor hard-drive performance on my Gax58ud3r. I only get around 200 mbps write and 300 read. I have been reading up on the Samsung m.2 drives and pcie adapters. So far it only looks like they make a pcie 3 adapter and my mobo is pcie 2. Are those adapters...

I'm having problem trying to install Sierra on my GA-EX58-UD4P system and i7-975 Bloomfield processor. I'm starting with a new SSD, not an upgrade. After I choose for the BIOS to boot from the USB it reads b1f:init for a while, then puts a 6 at the end, clears the screen and has an underscore...

Hi all, I am trying to install Mac OS X El Capitan on my PC And just like with most of you it doesn't work the first time :( what it does: bios boots clover on screen i go to "Boot Mac os X from Untitled" in verbose mode it says "_" on screen for like 7 seconds Than there are a bunch of...

Hi, I am having a severe issue with my setup. If i boot into my El Capitan Install i will get about 10% then it will just reboot itself. I thought maybe a thermal/voltage issue as i just upgraded to 980x from a 950 and now wether i am installing or if i stick in my Yosemite drive it will just...
