Hi everyone. I'm still running along with this same machine. Almost 7 years now, and still fast and stable machine! I recently upgraded to a Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB, since they are now below $200. I also upgraded to 10.14.6, and everything is working well except sound (I just plug in a USB...

Just a quick follow up to my 10.14 upgrade post: I have SpeedStep working great by using the enclosed kexts from 10.13.6. They are patched using the same technique in my 10.12 upgrade post. Just install them using your favorite kext installer utility and you are set. I have upgraded to...

Hi again everyone! After playing with "Dark Mode" on my MacBook, I became addicted. So I am testing 10.14 Mojave using a separate SSD drive on my trusty old 3930k Hackintosh. It went pretty well so far. What I did: ----------------- INITIAL INSTALLATION ----------------- 1) Since I have been...

I can't believe my build is still going strong after 5.5 years. This is the longest running machine I've ever owned. And it definitely doesn't feel slow; although it's single core speed is about 40% below the fastest new iMac at 4118...it's multi-core speed is still very respectable at 21,976 on...

Have you tried some of my steps from here: #2508 ? You should be able to safely skip step 4.

Samsung NVMe 950 now working great using this: https://github.com/RehabMan/patch-nvme I'm fully operational again :)

This worked for me also; and I'm back at 4Ghz. Yipee! Thanks for the link PhantomHelix

Getting audio working by following shilohh's instructions was a breeze: ./audio_cloverALC-120.sh Agreement The audio_cloverALC script is for personal use only. Do not distribute the patch, any or all of the files or the resulting patched AppleHDA.kext for any reason without permission. The...

Hi everyone! I was getting a little annoyed at apps that refused to update since I was still running 10.11.1. So I decided to just backup my boot drive with a disk duplicator, and then try to upgrade right to 10.12.1. I figured worst case scenario I could just go back to my old build. It went...

I believe this is current settings I am using: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dxwydhr00emruf6/AAAMUxHEDE9UNA-IVJ40tCdra?dl=0 I have been running 4Ghz since El Cap due to some stability issues. My current geek bench results are 20,348: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/5774204

Wow, I just picked up my Samsung NVMe drive. Holy cow is this thing fast! Thanks to everyone for the info about this drive; it's a winner for sure. I went with the same PCIe board linked to below, but I clicked the 256GB version of the SSD. They both were available via Prime; so I got them...

So, just to confirm, we are talking about this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A38B4KI Plus this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01639694M Is that correct? I'm giving up on my Accelsior as it seems to be defective and looking for other options.

LOL, you know it buddy :-) <- Currently testing the hell out of it.

That sounds like the sensible approach. Is there a particular reason you wouldn't trust the driver to solve the issue? I'd kind of like to continue using the E2 as my primary drive as it was pretty expensive. I picked up one of those 2-port (plus two internal) USB3 cards. I'm excited to give...

On the off chance it saves anyone else using an Accelsior or Accelsior E2; I thought I would post this follow-up. Don't forget to install the driver. The Accelsior appears to run fine without the driver, but when powering your system down OS X pulls power from the PCIe card a bit too...
