Thanks this looks perfect.

I've decided to go with Ubuntu for now. And decided on my disk layout. I'm going to shrink both current installations, install the root partition on the 500G Windows drive, and the /home partition on space freed from the 1TB drive. In theory user file system ops and system processes can get...

I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Mojave on two separate SSDs and Clover booting them. Win is on a 500G, and Mojave on a 1TB drive. The Clover EFI that boots is on the 1TB Mojave drive, which is partitioned with GPT into the EFI partition and an APFS container. Now I want to add a...

I don't have to run the latest and greatest OS, true. But systems remain useful longer if OS-adjacent software like web browsers remains supported. That's why I'm happy to get the 2018. My guess is there will be one more mixed-OS release after Big Sur. Either that or Big Sur will be a...

I priced out all the parts I'd need to build a mini-ITX from scratch with new cheap parts and it came to $345. At that, there's no perfect model to work from (of someone else doing a build like that) so I wouldn't be sure of everything working right. H310CM-HDV $60 i3-6100 $75...

I'm looking for a quick-and-dirty solution for a computer for our exercise room. The most it'll ever need to do is run Zwift, which yes, is game-like and graphics and stuff, but as games go it's pretty lightweight. It's going to be plugged into the cheapest 1080p monitor I can find; I'm not...

When I switched over to your native nvram method one of the few things I didn't do was switch to USBPorts kext, but stuck with USBInjectAll and the port configuration I had built for that because it seemed to work fine. Although now that I'm trying every port the lower red port that I thought I...

Hi, After months of using this setup happily and with less problems than my real Mac Pro trash can at work (which would crash once or twice a month with some sort of GPU error), I finally got around to buying a webcam, which gives me audio input. Or it was supposed to. I bought the popular...

Just wanted to note that this laptop, now designated as Y740si, is on sale in UK, Switzerland, Singapore, and perhaps other places, though I don't see it on the U.S. site yet. The sites where it's sold say shipping is more than six weeks out so basically they're pre-ordering them. It is...

Is there an issue in this build with wifi dropping its connection every few days? Once or twice a week the wifi says it has no network. Turning wifi off and on again clears it. Other things on the same wifi haven't dropped so I know it's not the wifi. (I can't rule out some sort of device...

It was four years between switch to Intel, and the release of an OS that was not PPC compatible. I was thinking of buying the Lenovo Y740si when it comes out. I might still. If it can get OS updates for four years, and then keep working with that frozen OS for another couple, that's plenty of...

I based my setup on pastrychef's Gaming M build, and this is what I did — kept my USBInjectAll setup. Is it the "way to go"? USBPorts.kext can work but you need to build it for your board and for your needs. Of course, the same is true with USBInjectAll — if you don't have the correct SSDTs...

What BIOS version do you have on the AORUS Pro?

I got my system stable with this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/gigabyte-z390-m-gaming-build-with-working-nvram.291193/page-136 I'm pretty sure F12d was a critical part of that, BTW. What BIOS version you using?

Wow. Maybe I'll just leave it alone then. I've never run with the front cover on the case, so it's basically a mesh-front push-cooled box with three fans. I still think the biggest case problem is the top fan pushes most of the air out of the top vent before it reaches the cooler. I have a...

First I want to thank you again pastrychef for this thread. My system is now at least as stable as the real trash can I have at work. But I am having overheating problems. I suspect I'll need to reseat my cooler (or perhaps have a professional do it for me). During a two-minute povray test...

I was assuming that if I used USBInjectAll I should move aside the USBPorts-with-Power.kext. Is this true? That's what I did and it booted and has been fine for a day and a half (though I now realize I left SSDT-EC in place, but this should be harmless?) I initially had no working audio but I...

Hi, Is Catalina a requirement to get the stability benefits and NVRAM, or can I stay at Mojave? If I do stay at Mojave, what changes are there? Does the new USB port config method work with Mojave or do I stick with USBInjectAll and the SSDT port config file? (I've already upgraded my Aorus...

And it has USB-C with TB3. This thing is screaming "make me a hackintosh".

Here's one example I've found that looks really intriguing. The Lenovo Legion Y740S, which has a display that is not retina (although there is a 4K option), and has no discrete graphics added. 16GB and for CPU I've seen both 9750H and 9880H listed. (These benchmark at 2-3 times faster than...
