Success HackintoshGA-Z170X-UD5 TH - i7-7700 - GIGABYTE GT GeForce 220

7th Generation - Kaby Lake Hackintosh






booted into BIOS by pressing DEL during start splash screen.


Loaded optimized defaults

XMCI Hand-off ->Enable

Super IO Configuration-> Disable

VT-d ->Disable

Windows 8/10 features -> Other OS

Storage Boot Option Control -> UEFI Only

Boot Option #1 -> USB drive


**Save and Exit**


1 - Create a Bootable USB with UniBeast with this guide : https://goo.gl/7XiPNq



2 – To boot, CPU ID needs to be spoofed. Go into Clover options at boot time and input the Skylake ID as FakeCPUID. Then just add the key and string in the KextandKernelPatches section of Clover's config.plist during post-installation.


Skylake CPUID: 0x0506E3

Code:
...

    <key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>

    <dict>

       <key>FakeCPUID</key>

       <string>0x0506E3</string>

...


3 – Clover Configurator /Devices/USB select FixOwnership



4- Boot and install following tonymacx86 : https://goo.gl/7XiPNq




5- After install ... I use MultiBeast - Sierra 9.0.1 with this configuration





6 – Copy FakeSMC.kext in EFI Clover Folder (in Other )



Reboot and Congratulations )





Not working :-

ALC 1150 ( I have external sound card ”Fast Track USB” )

Intel HD 630 ( I have Nvidia graphics card “GT 220” )

USB 3.1 (type-C)


 
I'm pleased and excited with your success! Your post gives me hope.
My build will be primarily for Logic Pro X, Kontakt and high-end orchestral samples.

I have the GA-Z170X-UD5 (non TB) and have been struggling over whether to get a
6700K or a delidded Silicon Lottery 7700K with a Noctua NH D15.

I see you have a keyboard. Are you using Logic?
Are you planning on using the ALC1150 for audio?

I need to try and use the onboard video until I can acquire a suitable GPU.

I'm assuming you did the bios f20 upgrade and it was uneventful?
Does the upgrade require a Skylake chip or can any 1151 socket Pentium, Celeron, i3-i7 chip be used?

Well done and thanks!

No, I'm using Cubase and Pro tools with Kontakt and many other plugins

Are you planning on using the ALC1150 for audio?
No, Because it's weak sound card and wouldn't give you real sound

You can check this guide : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...cpus-200-series-motherboards-in-macos.211743/

but it didn't work with me

You can use any 1151 socket .

So I'm assuming that you're going to be using some 24-bit, 192kHz, USB audio interface instead?
Do you think that will work well with a nice set of calibrated, near-field monitors?

Also:
How hot does the Kaby Lake seem in your setup?
I'm getting ready to purchase a cpu on Wed and am still considering this chip.

Now that you've logged some time with it, would you unequivocally recommend using the Kaby Lake over the Skylake?

I'll let you know how my build goes.
Thanks again for your invaluable input!
 
hello

FYI: the bios F20 upgrade DOES require a skylake cpu.
I have been stuck with my 7700K with my 170x board because I had neglected that point. I had to buy a cheap skylake cpu on amazon to do the flash update ...

Thank you!
Amazingly, it's been difficult to ascertain this fact.
