I read that article, or one like it and assumed the same thing. For those of us who are not as knowledgable, can anyone explain simply how a hackintosh without a co-processor handles the same OS needs? Or more precisely, how a hackintosh can run without the Apple co-processor.

I agree to go with better processor, and the current buying guide recommends Z270 with Kaby Lake. The question I have is about the total cost you have here. Is this total including shipping fees? Or are you paying really high prices on everything because that's how much it costs in France? I...

It's a nice thing your doing for your dad. I second what aztlan says, especially the part about using a Z270 board with Kaby Lake. When you consider how late Apple always is at upgrading hardware, and the fact that they are already on Kaby Lake, you'd be doing the opposite of future proofing...

You are more than welcome to ask me anything you want here. But frankly speaking, I am a beginner myself. So I don't know how much help I would be. You will get far better help by asking your important questions here, where you can get more than one opinion, and your questions will help...

I would either wait a few days for the August Buying Guide to be posted, or follow a build from the forum that uses the Z270 and Kaby Lake. You said you don't care about having the latest and greatest, which is exactly how I felt when I started. However, you said you want a system that will...

Ah, ok, thanks. Sorry, this is very new for me. Ok, so I just grabbed the latest MaciASL from RehabMan's Bitbucket. Are you saying I go to file>new from ACPI>SSDT? I opened a new template from there and it has about 3000 lines. I'm don't understand where I paste the code with the patches...

Thanks for that. I will try it tonight. I have never created a SSDT, is this the right way to do it? https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/quick-guide-to-generate-a-ssdt-for-cpu-power-management.177456/

Ok, sorry. Here you go.

It seems odd that I didn't have to do anything except change graphics to PCIe in BIOS. In my config, I still have iGPU enabled, BIOS is all I changed. I have not actually verified the GPU with any benchmark or even tried any of my editing software yet, haven't had time. But it does show up in...

Just thought I would report back. I returned my glitching Asus 1060 and bought a GeForce GTX 770 for $100. I ran Intel HD 630 for a day in between. Then, I literally had to do nothing except plug it in and boot. As far as I can tell, it's working fine. So I guess I had everything configured...

For some reason, the sleep display fix no longer worked for me after switching to Intel HD 630 and back again to the GTX 1060. Prior to switching to Intel, sleep display worked flawlessly. So I tried the change resolution fix and it seems to work as well as the display sleep ever did. In...

I unpacked the 1060 that was ready to be sent back, reinstalled it and tried the quick fix. My suspicion was correct. Using the sleep display fix immediately after waking did not prevent the glitch from happening. Ugh! Now I just have to decide if I want to wait for a fix or replace the GPU.

Ok, I guess I'll be the guinea pig and install the 1060 again to see if the fix can be automated on wake. There are 3 applications that could do it. Scenario $5, Power Management $50, or Sleepwatcher, a free command line tool. You can assume which one I'll be trying first if the manual test...

I agree about it being reasonable, the problem isn't that big since it is a quick fix. I asked a question a few posts back that hasn't been answered, maybe you have the answer? Do you know if the fix works if you run the script right away at every wake before the glitch starts to happen? I...

I spoke with Ray at Nvidia. He made it seem like they have every intention to update the driver, but wouldn't comment about how high of a priority it is. I wonder if they are abandoning Sierra drivers as beta and looking to implement full support in High Sierra. Personally, if I were Nvidia...
