@Leesureone I'm not seeing the EFI folder attached to that post anymore. Is there a more up to date version on a different post?

Sweet, thank you.

@Elite2k Thanks for the help! I followed your guide and I have Catalina running great on my x299 board. Dumb question, if I'm using EFI provided by another user here, and I copied it from my boot USB to the EFI partition of my boot SSD, do I need to run Multibeast before rebooting?

Got it working. It was the ram, as per my post in catalina support. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-macos-sierra-could-not-be-installed-on-your-computer.206935/ Thanks again @kubusikan for the EFI!

It was the ram. Replaced with a single stick of samsung ddr4 8gb 2400mhz did the trick. No issues at all.

Looks like it is either ram, ssd, or usb stick r/w errors: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-macos-sierra-could-not-be-installed-on-your-computer.206935/ Will update if I get this working.

Ok, I let it run it's course for a while.... it eventually said that it couldn't be installed on my hardware, and I needed to run diagnostics by holding down f12 while booting. I'll probably try that tomorrow.

Hi, Total noob back after a long break. Sorry for dumb questions. I am having issues with getting Catalina installed. With verbose mode on, I do not get any crashes/hangs, and the installation seems to proceed fine. When the installer indicates 6 minutes remaining (about 45% of the way...

I'll add that clover seems to think the rx580 is a rx480. Also, I formatted my ssd with GUID partition and APFS. Should that be an issue? Cycle: 1 Bios splash 2 Clover splash 3 (Autoselect SSD for os install) 4 Black screen, white logo, moves slowly and evenly through single bar 5 Screen...

Everything seems to work fine, but when I'm at the install screen "installing on 'hackintosh'", it tells me about 10-14 minutes is remaining, but at 6 minutes remaining it reboots to clover and cycles back to the same install screen. Am I missing something obvious?

@kubusikan Thank you so much! I'm giving this a try right now. I picked up an RX 580 sapphire nitro+ 4gb today, but I am not sure where I should go to add support. Is there any need for me to add a kext or something?

I'm having trouble getting the bootable usb stick (built using this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-create-a-macos-catalina-public-beta-installation-usb.278188/ and followed by an installtion of clover v4961) to be seen by my x299e-itx board. I'm using the usb port above the...

@trs96 Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate the upfront assessment. I'll put this on the back burner and see if I can get everything working on the itx board sometime before 2020, but I won't rely on it much at all. Since it will take a while anyways, I might as well make it a fun...

Hey guys, It's been a few years since I have done a build, and I'm pretty out of the loop. I've been lurking for the last two weeks or so, gleaning info, but I am not 100% sure on a few things. I bought a macbook a month ago for some work stuff, and I am honestly blown away by how good it is...

Naw, your good. Just a dumb mistake you might have googled. Integrated graphics can't run the 2715q @ 4k. I have the 15q and the 15k, and neither can be pushed farther than 1440p except with a discrete gpu.

I did get the hexacore in the build with quad ssds in raid 0 along with 64gb ram and a 7990 reference from XFX with the lifetime warranty.... it was blisteringly awesome. To answer your question, yes, it did work. Imo, though, it isn't a great solution for an AIO. I had to remove the standard...

It is totally possible. Use a displayport to LVDS adapter. You can find them on ebay for less than 100 USD. You can also put a dell 24" monitor inside the mac, which would save a good bit of space. That help? bob

Hey all. First post, and I just wanted to thank everyone for all the time and effort they have put into this site. I have loved reading everything here! Last spring, I decided to put together an iMac monitor @ 2560x1440 for my surface pro. To build it, I bought two things on ebay, 1. iMac...

Sup all. I am interested in building a powerful xeon hack. Will this chip work? I am a noob at desktops, but I have been a laptop techy for years. Are ES chips as bad on desktops as they are on laptops? Based on the specs (10 cores, up to 2.9 ghz turbo) does anyone know what chip this is...

Quick question. Does anyone know if the matx motherboard hack build will support this ram? http://www.ebay.com/itm/G-SKILL-Ripjaws-Z-Series-32GB-4-x-8GB-240-Pin-DDR3-SDRAM-DDR3-2400-PC3-19200-/301040571020?pt=US_Memory_RAM_&hash=item46176a928c Interested in getting the 2400mhz speed at least...
