Stork's MyHero Build: ASUS ROG Z170 MAXIMUS VIII HERO - i7-6700K - GTX 980

[Stork]

Thanks! But how does the 970 compare to the 1060 and 1050, both of which seem to be much cheaper than the 9xx series...

Sorry for all the Qs.

I report finally I can resolve the problem for future users in my situation:
- I downloaded El Capitan in my Macbook Pro.
- Ignore the message "can't install"
- Made Thumb
- Boot, before select the disk, I open Terminal and I set the date in two digits each space between brackets.
date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
- If you don't do this, you going to get a message that you can't do it.

And happiness start again, eating an apple.

Hi!

I followed your guide using identical parts and everything works perfectly however having a hard time with sleep. My hackintosh would take 10-15 secs to go to sleep, which is normal however it wakes up again immediately (sometimes the monitor comes back on, sometimes it doesn't).

I have darkwake=0 and disabled wake on pci.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

My build is based on Stork's Hero build and I have the same problem with sleep. I have created an SSDT which as far as I can tell is running properly however I had another issue where when I shut down it would restart on its own. I sorted that in config.plist with the fixshutdown option. Let me know if you get it sorted.

...wakes up again immediately...

See sleep sleuthing tip in post #861 of this thread. As for wake with blank screen, if this happens some time after you place computer to sleep, and computer goes back to sleep after a few minutes, this is normal power nap behavior (you can turn it off in sleep settings if you don't need system periodically waking to update).

@robaird I ran the terminal command "pmset -g assertions" and this is the result. I have highlighted in red what I think the problem is. Now I need to know how to fix it.

Thanks again @budafilms and @Stork
Sounds like the 1060 is going to be best bang for the buck at this moment for me.

"acwakelinger" is not enough for me to help (new to OSX, and it appears to be a generic response from googling it). You might get more info in GUI by trying the following:

1) Enable /View/Columns/Preventing Sleep in Activity Monitor (View is in the top menu bar)
2) Click on the new Preventing Sleep column so you sort it by preventing sleep items first, and see if you get more clues (Note you can do this for each tab (e.g., CPU, Memory, Engergy, Disk and Network)--but I get same sleep preventers in each tab

 

[Macmagoo]

@robaird I am a newbie as well but the annoying thing is I have everything working with no other issues. Just had a quick look at your suggestion and there are two entries preventing sleep and they are both the same PID 103 hidd one in CPU and one in Network.

Thanks, Stork for this build manual - I used it for https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...pha-i7-6700k-4-6-32-gb-3-2-gtx-980-ti.219776/, and it works like a charm.
