    AMD RX 580 - Any brand is fine?

    Truthfully I don't know. But what I will say is that I have had very good luck with Gigabyte equipment. So if Sapphire is not available I would say the Gigabyte board is a reasonable choice. I believe its one I would make given past experience with Gigabyte. Hope this helps, AnotherNerdHere.

    [success] Easiest OS install ever.

    @sbeaber4 I could do that. I need to look at some of the other build guides to see layout and content. Would you recommend a new posting or continue on with this one?

    [success] Easiest OS install ever.

    I have the Samsung 970 EVO NVMe Series 500GB M.2 PCI-Express 3.0 x 4 Solid State Drive (V-NAND) and I have the latest Mojave 10.14.x running with out problems. I'm really impressed by the 970 EVO it has worked flawlessly and is pretty speedy.

    [success] Easiest OS install ever.

    I just had to tell someone who would understand. I've worked in IT for decades and installed many different operating systems with Window, various Linus Distros hundreds of times and more recently OS X / MacOS starting with Snow Leopard. Mojave has been the most painless and easy install I've...

    System not bootable after update to Clover 2.4k rev 4674

    Hey @MusicHacker, This weekend was really busy so I didn't have a chance to reply to your message earlier. Have you found a solution? In the past when I've looked at the EFI drives I've noticed that some don't seem to be filesystems that are browsable with something like 'ls'. I don't know...

    System not bootable after update to Clover 2.4k rev 4674

    @MusicHacker I just has a thought that won't require the shift key and you can probably do on the Windows side of the world. first a disclaimer I haven't tried any of this so I don't know if it will work. Clover keep a backup copy of you EFI partition on the Mac drive in \EFI-Backups they are...

    System not bootable after update to Clover 2.4k rev 4674

    That is weird. I had the keyboard problem with the new clover but once I booted with my Unibeast key (r4458) my shift key worked again and I was able to change drive and recover, Why thats not the case with you I haven't a clue. I was reading a post yesterday that I thought was funny (as in odd)...

    System not bootable after update to Clover 2.4k rev 4674

    I completely understand. I "upgraded" my hackintosh SSD to an NVME m.2 which is why I can't use my MBP either. Sometime "better" tech doesn't make things easier, ay? lol as for next steps... I'm just guessing because I haven't been doing this hack thing as long as you have. :) but here is what...

    System not bootable after update to Clover 2.4k rev 4674

    If your system isn't booting it can be a real PITA and depending on how comfortable you are with a command line environment. The simple answer is copy a backup EFI (from whatever version you had before) over the top of your 4674 EFI files. The easiest way to to this is to use a different Mac...

    System not bootable after update to Clover 2.4k rev 4674

    You aren't alone @MusicHacker. I have Clover 4458 installed with High Sierra and everything is working fine. I tried to update to 4674 and had the same problems you have. IMHO there are problems with this release if even the keyboard doesn't function properly. In other posts I've read that 4586...

    AMD RX 580 - Any brand is fine?

    I realize that now. It been quite a few years since I built a system. Back when a 450 watt PSU (300 was then most common) was more then you'd ever need. but I think I'm dating myself. :) I've learned the hard way not to go cheap. The Thermaltake case looks pretty nice. I'm going to have to take...

    AMD RX 580 - Any brand is fine?

    Hi @KevinAgnes. The case is a cheap one ($30) from newegg and came with a really noisy 250 watt TFX PSU. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811128091 I wouldn't really recommend this case to any one. I was trying to do it on the cheap and I got what I paid for. :( After this...
