Comments

After a lots of hours spent in this forum, finally I built my first Hackintosh build. I would say thanks to ModMike because he has been my inspiration in terms of configuration and methodology.

My system is a dual boot solution with Mac OS Catalina 10.5.2 for productivity and Windows 10 for gaming. At the moment everything works properly without particular issues. I started installing Mac OS Mojave and then firstly updated to Catalina 10.5.1 before to go with 10.5.2.

I tested:

- Stability
- Continuity
- Handoff
- iMessage
- Universal Clipboard
- Instant Hotspot
- Air Drop
- iPhone Cellular Calls
- Auto Unlock
- Apple Pay
- Sleep
- Wake
- Audio
- Ethernet
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- Sidecar

NZXT H210i Mini ITX Tower Case

First time I've ever seen Mini-ITX and tower both used to describe a PC case.

"Slim 27-liter mini-ITX case" Not sure how they can call it slim either as it's wider than most tower cases.

Ok, but if you don't like my case it's not necessary to highlight all those things...

I like the case it just seems that the manufacturer didn't use the best naming for it.
It looks a lot easier to build in than any of the Mini-ITX cases I've used that were rather limited in interior space.

Ok it’s a little bit wider than most of all mini-itx cases bUt height and depth are good.

Do you use the HDMI or Displayport? Any hard freeze since you finished your build ?

 

[trs96]

I'm wondering where you found these all black Noctua Covers ? Do these have any cooling function or
are they they just for the look ?

Displayport with 144hz monitor... no issues and freeze after full configuration
