Just updated, no issues.

Ok, update, I took another approach to overclocking - I disabled turbo in the BIOS and increased multiplier to 41, I have no turbo but that's not needed as I'm still quite overclocked on all 4 cores 4x4.1GHz. Power management seems to work ok, if not better (but measured from the plug in the...

Monterey 12.6.3, OpenCore 0.8.7-0.8.8. UEFI boot. MacPro6,1 SMBIOS. Asus Radeon HD7750 Silent (during install and early test, radpg=15 added to boot args), Gigabyte Radeon RX560 4GB OC rev1 while writing this. (HDMI, DP not tested). Asus PCE-AC68 Dual Band Wireless PCI Express, worked fine...

UPDATE Jan 2023: I'm now on Monterrey as iphoto no longer worked ok with my phone. -------+----+------ My MSI z77 board with i7 2600k has served me well for some time now. I see it as very stable and I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade. Eventually I will though, but maybe a Mac Mini will be next in...

Nice. This will broaden the community and everyone will benefit. My first "hackintosh" was an ECS C51GM-M with some single core AMD cpu and, while I got it running Tiger (this was ages ago!) I vowed never again AMD or ECS. Thanks to this site I later bought a P55 Gigabyte board and a 4 core...

There are lots of users with iphone, or ipad, but Windows computers. Some of them might jump to Mac if it integrates even better with their mobile devices. MacOS offers software for music, editing movies, photos, calendar, mail, imessage, maps, lots of stuff right out of the box. Just like...

Considering I find my Z77 board with 2600K i7, slightly OCed, enough for my needs in general (I want faster x264 encodes though, I'd love more cores but just a day or two a month) I'm sure I'll be satisfied with the performance from high end i7s and i9s in the years to come. I'm totally...

I run Mojave on one system, Catalina on another, I'd recommend Mojave for the simple reason of stability and possible 32 bit apps.

I've retired my P55 system, but had to use Clover 4920, lilu 1.2.8 + whatevergreen 1.2.4 (I guess newer could be used, but I had some problems with one thing or another), and boot my Radeon 7750 with radpg=15 as boot argument to avoid black screen. I also had to use -v once or twice when booting...

Ok, I guess I made some mistakes, booted Clover off wrong HD. Seems like ASUS Radeon HD 7750 is working in Mojave, at least so far so good. Displayport and HDMI. Great, this was a cheap, and silent, card and I don't need a better (more expensive) card. Cheapest card I could find that handled 4K...

Final update: I managed to get Mojave running quite stable on a Seagate SSHD (still kept Sierra as main system on SSD). One crash a month, maybe. But once I tried it on SSD (clone, new install, one Intel SSD and one Samsung, didn't matter) it crashed every other day. Either user interface or...

Just for the record, I have another MB but I had crashes when trying to watch youtube. Turned out my sound was disabled after an update. After I enabled sound (I have Realtek ALC892), using some script (probably...

I use https://sourceforge.net/projects/hwsensors/ to control fan speed for my CPU. (I have no liquid cooling or GPU fan though)

I don't have the same MB (but similar generation), and use Mac Pro 5,1 definitions and DSDT from https://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt-database and my CPU seems to work fine. No special SSDT. For whatever reason the cpu fan is more aggressive and louder in High Sierra than Sierra though. (at exactly...

@zeroxw Have you tried dvi, hdmi or displayport? Have you tried booting with argument -radvesa , it might work (but give really poor graphics) to get into the system. Or -rad24 to force 24 bit color depth. (for some reason, my 7750 shows up with 24 bit depth in High Sierra (and works) but 32 bit...
