Thanks both. Would I be able to use a gigabyte h/z97 board without a re-install? I would definitely like to keep the same cpu as it's still plenty quick enough. Linuxrox: what sort of usb issues did you run into? Was it issues with all ports, or just the USB3 ones?

Evening all, My hackintosh is unfortunately out of action, as the motherboard unexpectedly died. Specs: GA Z87n-WiFi - now deceased :( Crucial SSD for OSX Toshiba SSD for Windows 8GB Corsair RAM 650w Corsair PSU GTX 760 GPU Fractal Node 304 case A bit of background: previously I had pretty...

Again thank you, I'll have a go at this today, hopefully all will go well.

Brilliant, thank you! I will either be installing from a flash drive or USB DVD drive, I presume I still need to set my SATA mode to Legacy rather than UEFI in the bios? I'm also going to install Clover as a bootloader I think - I use a bluetooth keyboard and want to be able to select my OS...

I've been using a hackintosh as my main machine for the past six months, and have so far encountered very few issues. I'd now like to install windows for gaming, and have some questions as to the best way to go about doing this. Currently I have two hard drives in use: 1x 128GB SSD, which...

Hi All, I'm fairly new to Hackintosh setup but steadily getting there! I'm just wondering what the best system definition for my set up would be. My hardware looks like this: Intel Core i5 4670K - note this has 4600 Intel Graphics Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Vengeance Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI...

I'd be very interested if anyone knows of a boot back to windows solution, a la bootchamp in regular OS X. I use the same keyboard as OP, and it's great but doesn't work prior to OS load. Would be good not to have a second usb keyboard around all the time!

Hi All, I'm moving from a 27" iMac to my first ever Hackintosh, and so far the community her couldn't have been more helpful! One of the big questions is what to do regarding a monitor. A 27" 2560x1440 screen of reasonable quality is pretty pricey, much more so than 2x22" full HD screens...

Thanks for the prompt replies, the other key difference is price - I can get a deal on a new MSI 670 for £140, whereas an equivalent MSI 760 would be £200. I don't really mind as i've budgeted for this, but is it really worth it?

Hi All, I just bought a Customac from a friend. It's based on the Mac Mini Deluxe recommendations here, and is specced thusly: Intel Core i5 4670K Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Vengeance Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI Motherboard Seagate 1TB Corsair 430W PSU I'd like to add a GPU to this to give it a...

Hi all, New here but having recently sold my iMac I really don't want to wait until the refresh for SSD as standard and this looks very appealing! May be a silly question, but does the brand of the GPU matter? Looking at an ASUS GTX 760, would the setup be the same? Any other...
