I was running via the integrated HD530 on El Capitan, however i've since connected HDMI to my GTX1070, upgraded to Sierra 10.12.4, and installed the web drivers - and it works! i've not had to do anything with Clover, once i installed the drivers and rebooted, it worked - full acceleration, full...

FYI i realised i had this drive backed up so i've simply formatted as exFAT in Windows and now its back up and running. would be good to know ideally though the root cause of the issue so it doesn't happen again! any thoughts?

I've got a dual boot setup running windows 10 and El Cap 10.11.6. This evening i booted into OSX and it took longer than usual, and when i finally logged in, i noticed a partition wasn't mounted. I have an SSD running the above OSs, with individual partitions for each. that's running fine. I...

Just FYI I have stopped the ground hum. the 6-pin to 4-pin to 6-pin approach didn't work - as I suspected, due to the shield. However, putting some insulating tape around the shield of the connector at one end has resulted in the disappearance of the ground loop hum and associated interference...

Yes, this worked - Firewire 400 works fine via a PCI (not PCIe) card in the single PCI slot on my motherboard. No drivers required in MacOS - plug and play. I did experience a couple of issues initially though - the DMP profile of my RAM (which should operate at 3000MHz) caused audio clicks...

So I couldn't find any repair options within clover, so I reinstalled both OSs, and... OSX EFI partition still can't be seen by the bios! All that shows up in the Bios is Windows Bootloader (which works to boot to windows). I could still boot to OSX via the USB and also select windows too. THe...

So I have / had a nearly fully functional dual boot system with OS X and Win10. After everything was more or less up and running (in UEFI mode, using clover as the bootloader and allowing me to select which OS to boot) I discovered there was a BiOS update available for my motherboard. I did this...

Once I've completed a full successful sierra install I'd like to create a backup of the boot config so I don't have to go through installing all the patches, kexts etc individually in the future. Can I create a backup of the complete boot config, without resorting to something like time machine...

I'm going to multiboot win10 and sierra on a single SSD with 2 partitions. Assuming clover will be the main boot loader, do I set the bios setting to 'Windows UEFI' or 'Other OS'? So far I've installed sierra more or less successfully, and I've not fully disabled secure boot - I've just set t...

Thanks - I thought I'd already done this? I put details of my hardware in my 'build signature' but have seen it's not appearing on my posts - do I need to activate this somehow?

Thanks again guys. I'm getting there, slowly but surely. I've been installing additional functionality by various means, as follows: HD530 graphics - installed by multibeast, then patched via Mac pixel clock patch v2 to get 2560x1440@60Hz - all working apart from artefact in top left (known...

Ok great, thanks guys. That has worked. I can now boot to Sierra without the USB connected. Clearly though I need to add a few kexts and boot flags etc to get most if not all of the components working properly. Off to look up how to use clover and start testing. Before I do anything too...

Hey guys Firstly thanks for replying and coming back so quickly! i gave up and went to bed after my previous post and you'd replied before i'd even finished my breakfast in the morning. So going through your suggestions, initially you suggest booting to Sierra via the USB. Does this work? I...

incidentally i've just managed to install El Capitan and load multibeast successfully, i.e. it boots without the USB - though there are some issues. not delved into it in any detail yet but the most obvious one garbled video (initially it was unusable) since the bootloader was installed, though...

Hi, I'm returning to the world of hackintoshing since my previous successful effort on an older PC of OSX 10.6.2. How times have changed! I have built a new PC primarily for running OSX / MacOS, with parts that should work as they are listed in the buyers guide. The only item purchased that's...
