You can do it with a HDD but you must create a partition of 32GB or less.

Your motherboard's User Manual has the audio chipset listed in the beginning of the Manual in a gray table, if your motherboard's User Manual follows Gigabyte's other User Manuals.

Hello,

Not too sure what you mean... On the gigabyte site, here are the audio specs for my main board (GA-EX58-UD5) :

  1. Realtek ALC889A codec
  2. High Definition Audio
  3. 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
  4. Support for Dolby® Home Theater
  5. Support for S/PDIF In/Out
  6. Support for CD In
I tried several options in MultiBeast, but I couldn't found anything working (for the sound at least)... Hence my request... Any idea?

The Realtek ALC889A codec is the audio chipset and, thus, the driver that you need. In MultiBeast,
Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALC8xx > ALC885/889a​

If you've already run MultiBeast, re-run it again just selecting the above and install.
 
Hello, I just built my first system, I am having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I loaded the software using unibeast + multibeast. i am having a problem with waking, right now i am still running onboard intel 530.
Any input would be grateful.

Thanks, lou
 
Cool thanks, I ordered a card, just have to wait on it.

Thanks
Lou
 
Thanks for this awesome guide Tonymac! Love the work you and the mods put into this site and the content!
 
I can not install it, when I go to start the usb pen tells me: "Can not find an operating system" I did all the steps correctly, the components look in my profile information. Please help me.
 
Just wanted to chime in and say thank you for this incredible utility.
This was my first time building a hackintosh and although there were some hiccups, I have to say the whole process was a LOT easier than I had assumed it would be.

My specs:
Intel S5520SC motherboard with SC5650WS chassis
2x Intel Xeon X5650 Processors
Nvidia GeForce GTX555 Graphics
Sandisk 240gb SSD

Installation was simple: I flashed the BIOS to the most current version, changed some of the bios settings, and ran the installation on a freshly formatted SSD. From there I ran Multibeast, and after a few attempts of trial and error the system now boots without the USB and appears to be running quite well. I have not had much running time, so if anything changes I will update this post but right now I am stoked things all went well. I will admit that I did have to install OS Sierra twice, but this is because the system froze randomly while Multibeast was installing the settings on to my first installation, which ended up causing the system to reset while trying to boot, both with and without the USB installed.

I just threw this all together with some parts I had lying around after getting the motherboard and case for free.. I found the processors on eBay for $40 and they were actually new in box.. After buying the CPU coolers and RAM, I have less than $150 in to this entire system build and I could not be happier. I have the on-board ethernet working perfectly, although I have yet to get the sound to work and I may end up just buying some sort of cheap USB sound card so that I don't have to fiddle with anything.
Funny enough I have yet to receive the 48gb of DDR3 ECC ram that I ordered, so the installation was completed using 8gb (2 4gb sticks) of regular DDR3 ram from my FX6300 build.

If anyone else is running this same motherboard, regardless of the version of Mac OS (or OS X), any advice as to how I can get these dang case fans to stop running at 100% would be more than appreciated. Given that the case was designed for use as a workstation, the fans are ridiculously loud and I need to get that sorted ASAP.

All in all I am a happy happy man.

Edit: After I have some seat time with this and I can confirm my settings work over the long term I will make a build thread to help anyone else who might want to build a similar system. Fingers crossed for continued success!
