Thank you Casey for this phenomenal guide! I think I just found my Christmas/New Year gift to myself. The 4790k rig's doing OK for virtual music, but the rig is 6 years old and the early-days SSDs are really showing their age and bottleneck dumping sample libraries to DDR3 RAM.

Thank you kindly for the reply, scottkendall! Sounds like the 5000 is the way to go.

I have a 980Ti Hybrid (the liquid/radiator one) and am very happy with the card in 10.13 and Windows 10 (for gaming). Looking for AMD suggestions so that I can go to Catalina. I'm OK with slightly lower performance if it's considerably more economical. Thanks!

If you do switch back, will you have to switch to another "main" set of programs? I toy with switching to Windows, but there's no Logic Pro for Windows. I do own Digital Performer and Ableton but the ergonomic setback is HUGE and I do it for fun/leisure not a living.

I think I'll invest in making my 4790K rig Catalina / Big Sur compatible, but not invest in a completely new i9+ setup. Cost will be: New GPU (currently have 980Ti), New 10x14 audio interface (mine's not Catalina supported), Paid upgrades/udpates for Waves, same for various NI & Arturia...

It can work with a 3000-series with some tinkering, but for simplicity I wouldn't recommend anything older than Haswell (4000). Note that modern Nvidia GPUs aren't supported at all in Catalina. iGPU will run the OS fine, an exact card would depend on your needs.

Clover attached - iMac 14,2 for Optiplex 9020 Haswell / HD4600 iGPU only Edit: I initially thought this was Unibeast problem because the Clover worked previously and the latest Catalina update was the only thing that "changed." Advice to anyone reading this: When you are "re-using" a USB stick...

I download the 8.23GB Install macOS Catalina file on an authentic Mac with SIP/CSR confirmed disabled. Unibeast completes w/o errors. On my build system, Clover boots but there's no installer option. I deleted the .IAPhysicalMedia file and have the HFSPlus drivers in the Clover folder. Disabling...

Thank you kindly for the reply. Still in denial about the state of my 980Ti, which I use only occasionally for games when I boot into Windows (it still plays everything I play at max, so not looking to upgrade at this time).

Thank you for the nice guide. I also have a 9020MT i7-4790 (not K) like the one in your signature (the 4790k in my signature is a self-build, not Dell). But, I am planning to get an RX 570 to save $$$. Do you think that the 570 setup will be similar to your 580? If I only need 1 screen and...

You may want to try: https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/346/WebDriver-346.03.15f12.pkg It was proposed as an answer to me after I already moved to Sierra instead over this issue. I've specifically been holding off on the last security update for my other El Cap machine - have not had time to try...

I also have this case for my 4790K build and LOVE it! I'm not a "builder-builder," but everything turned out so clean because the mess hides so well on the other side. And the 2.5"/SSD caddy is to die for! Beautiful build and guide! ^_^

Yes, I agree it will be Sequoia. And if it's not, then there's 0% chance it will be anything other than Mac OS Covfefe. Well said, all!

Hi Everyone - I see a lot of talk about the svelte, compact, thin notebooks on the market. That's not what I'm interested in. I'm looking to replace my Retina 2012 MBP, which is showing system board symptoms (even after fan replacements) and is not long for this world. I'd like something with a...

Yes, disabling Optimus will give you the discrete (nVidia GPU) only. On my OS X Latitude E6530, using the dGPU all the time comes at the cost of battery (and some seriously hot air blows out the side!). So just keep that in mind! ^_^ EDIT: Just wanted to add some clarification regarding Optimus...

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to RehabMan for putting this together. I just updated my GB-BXi3H-4010U from 10.10 to 10.11.4 straight from the App Store installer. I was more nervous about the .4 than the Yosemite to El Cap transition. This Brix was my very first Hackintosh, and it's served as ye...

Latitude E6530 Instant Sleeps or Has Blank LCD with my DSDT's (10.11.3) It's working!!! With every thread you resolve, my mind gets more blown!! For Dell notebooks, IGFX can be disabled in BIOS (by disabling "Optimus"); when I enable it, the bootloader gives options to inject either. With...

My E6530 (i7 3720QM with discrete NVS 5200M) was working fine with Yosemite and Chameleon, but I'm a glutton for punishment and am trying to go El Capitan 10.11.3 with Clover. After doing the usual "try every plist combination," I have two reproducible issues with the laptop's 15" LCD (via...
