    Does Kaby Lake still need to be spoofed on latest High Sierra?

    As per title... Last time I did a setup it was on Sierra, and that needed to be spoofed to Skylake. Do we still need to do this or has Apple included Kaby Lake support in High Sierra?

    Surface Pro 4

    Hey all, I'd like to install High Sierra on my Surface Pro 4 (i7 2.2Ghz 8GB RAM). I know touch won't work, but it will be a "fun" project. Can it be installed internally, or do I need to use a USB 3 drive? I'm guessing a microSD card is too slow (but it would be a discreet install)...

    Z270X G5 - ALC1220 - Way too loud to start with

    Hey all, With both built-in and USB external audio, this machine is too loud to begin with. At one volume notch it's ok, but if you turn it up to 5 notches you can hear it distorting internally, i.e. it's not the speakers crapping out. Anyone else come across this? BIOS change perhaps? Cheers, J

    Urgent issue: External USB HD not showing up

    I've got an external powered hard drive, and it's not mounting or showing up in Disk Utility or System Profiler. I've tried all the USB ports. Fairly urgent problem :( This is the Z270X Gaming 5 board. Update: It's mounting on the USB 2.0 ports, but none of the 3.0 or 3.1 ports. It's a 3.0...

    Kaby Lake crashed at 5.0Ghz

    Bit disappointed. I was running a GeekBench test and had a system shut down halfway through. Temperature is fine, BIOS is up to date and water cooler working well. Anyone else getting this?

    [SOLVED] Urgent question: Starting up on its own

    My new Hackintosh is starting up on its own after I shut it down - usually after about 30 seconds. How can I stop it doing this?? Disabling Wake on LAN in BIOS did not fix it.

    [SOLVED] ALC1220 not working

    Hey all, Z270X Gaming 5 motherboard that uses the ALC1220 chipset. I've installed the Realtek ALC1220 and 100/200 Series Audio drivers in MultiBeast but have no sound. The input/output ports show up in audio preferences however, and it detects headphones being plugged in. Anyone have working...

    [SOLVED] YouTube videos won't play

    Next problem. YouTube videos won't play. Tried Safari and Chrome. Basically, the video loads about 30-40%, and shows a fixed frame, and I can kind of click through to show other frames, but it refuses to play the video. The spinning loader doesn't stop. Latest Pascal drivers on 10.12.5...

    [Solved] macOS Sierra can't see my second hard drive

    This build will be the death of me. During installation, I could see my second hard drive just fine. I formatted it. Now that I'm in macOS, it's not showing at all - not even in disk utility. It's a Western Digital Black Edition 6TB. What should I do?

    [SOLVED] Pascal driver installed but won't initiate?

    So my next issue is that I've installed the WebDriver-378.05.05.15f01 for my EVGA GTX 1050. It's running Sierra 10.12.5. It's all showing in the menu bar and in the system prefs, but whenever I select NVIDIA Web Driver, it says I need to restart. I do this, but upon restart, it's never...

    Can someone please tell me how to use FakeCPUID

    I've got my machine assembled, and I'm trying to install Sierra. It's an i7-7700 (Kaby Lake) on a Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 5 board. I know I need to use FakeCPUID before installing macOS, otherwise it just sits on the Apple logo not booting. The problem is, I have no idea HOW to do this. From...

    GeForce GTX 760 driver?

    Hey all - I'm putting in my old GeForce GTX 760 into my brother's new Hackintosh (not for gaming), and I'm trying to remember what to do about the graphics driver? Do I need to download from Nvidia? Cheers James

    How do you use FakeCPU on a fresh Hackintosh?

    I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I will need to use FakeCPU as my Hackintosh will have a Kaby Lake processor. My question is, how do you use FakeCPU if you can't get the Mac to work first?? Or can you do something in BIOS? Bit confused. I know I shouldn't be.
