New Kaby Lake Intel NUCs

[beelzebozo]

Check out Ars Tecnica's coverage of new Kaby Lake based NUCs by Intel.

They come in a few different CPU configurations with new ports and Thunderbolt 3 support and will probably range between $300 to $500 USD-

• two Core i3 models (NUC7i3BNK and NUC7i3BNH)
• two Core i5 models (NUC7i5BNK and NUC7i5BNH)
• one Core i7 model (NUC7i7BNH)

Hi,
Has anyone built a hackintosh with the NUC7I3BNH yet?
wondering if I'll run into any problems or should instead get the 6i3SYH instead.
I haven't found anything in the search.
Thanks.

Looking forward to using one of these to replace a dying imac as a mac mini. They are far superior to anything that Apple has out there.

Am I right in thinking that I can expect a NUC7I3BNH hackintosh to just work as long as I don't care about WiFi and Bluetooth?
I am going to use ethernet with it so I don't care about WiFi.

(First time posting here, be nice to me please)

Noob here.

I've been attempting this over the weekend with a NUC7i3BNH.

If you set the CPU ID to Skylake, it boots up and installs Sierra without a problem. However, although I didn't expect wifi to work, I can't get ethernet to work either.

What is the device-id of the Ethernet device? Did you look at the Info.plist of IntelMausiEthernet.kext to see if it is supported. Correct BIOS settings (eg. LAN boot disabled, network stack disabled)? Latest IntelMausiEthernet.kext?

The network adapter is an I219-V. BIOS settings are all as instructed. I've tried all the latest versions of the drivers in the Sierra Multibeast without success (despite two of them saying the controller is supported).

If you don't know what that means...

Will need changes to the kext...
See here:

I'll probably make a kext that has all the new ids...
