Glad it was some help. After reading your reply I spent some time trying to recall specifically what that was fixing. It would seem I am getting old. I suspect that removing those via the shell (assuming you didn't not forget the sudo su -) is being blocked by the System Integrity Protection...

I successfully upgraded from 10.11 to 10.13 using the terse instructions. No issues at all. Updated Clover, added in updated FakeSMC in other/, the APFS EFI driver, and the Intel 1000e driver. After booting re-enabled audio with the audio_cloverALC-130 shell script. My system specs are...

That is quite interesting. You were already up and running, I take it. I am curious if that means the whole dance of installing Windows to get the TB firmware installed is no longer required. Good info.

Hey back. Performance-wise it was fine. Unfortunately when I was doing it (which I think was in 10.9) I had a lot of struggles with the devices attached via the display not working. The FaceTime camera, onboard audio, even the Ethernet adapter would often just cease to be connected to the...

In addition to Stork's excellent and thorough suggestions, you might want to try pulling the video card and seeing if you can proceed through the installation process with just the IGP. This can help you determine for sure that the nVidia card is the source of your pain. But from my perspective...

My knowledge may be obsolete as I no longer with with that board on my build, but when I did it you first needed to install Windows and load the Intel TB driver package in order to get the firmware fully initialized before OSX would talk to it. Did you do a Windows install yet and verify full...

I would not expect any issues with using a 970. You may have to turn some additional knobs for nVidia driver enablement, but nothing that is not covered exhaustively elsewhere in the forums. Since I was optimizing around CPU workloads I did not worry about pushing the envelope on GPU...

No, I did not have any issues at all beyond those I outlined in the original description. Certainly I never had POST issues. If you are having issues during POST I would suspect a hardware issue of some sort. Try booting with minimal memory and see if that helps with POST, and maybe try...

[SUCCESS]GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7 4790K / 32GB / GTX 760 / 10.9.4 To my knowledge issue one is not solvable. iMessage of course works on all my real Macs, but I have yet to have it work on a Hackintosh. Others may have a more satisfying answer. On the second one, this is something that ended up...

[SUCCESS]GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7 4790K / 32GB / GTX 760 / 10.9.4 Glad I could help. I recently upgraded this build to 10.9.5 without any issues at all, which was nice. Upgrading my other build (which uses a Thunderbolt display) was a bit more of a train wreck.

[SUCCESS]GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7 4790K / 32GB / GTX 760 / 10.9.4 I would like to second this--specifically the comment about the PSU. As someone building systems for a long time (not saying how long... makes me feel too old) I tended to underestimate the importance of "clean", reliable power...

[SUCCESS]GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7 4790K / 32GB / GTX 760 / 10.9.4 Sorry to hear you're having issues. I had strange / flaky problems similar to what you described when I was using the older 570 card. Once I bumped to the GTX 760 I did not have any issues, and I absolutely did not install third...

[SUCCESS]GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7 4790K / 32GB / GTX 760 / 10.9.4 If it's not seeing your disk I would verify that in your BIOS you have the SATA configuration set to AHCI, and that the drive shows up in the BIOS. It's possible you simply have a bum disk. Is it known-good?

I'm glad it worked for you. After a few days of use, I will say that I should revise my "working fine" to "mostly works fine". Seems like a certain combination of activities (syncing an iPhone connected to a display USB port while playing music to the display speakers) sometimes causes the...

[SUCCESS]GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7 4790K / 32GB / GTX 760 / 10.9.4 Yes, you change the state generation in MultiBeast. In the "Customize" view you need to make sure you un-check "Generate CPU States", which is checked by default when you start a DSDT-free configuration. You can manually edit it for...
