I have a GTX 970 in my hackintosh running OS X 10.10.5. I don't want to update OS X, but I would like to upgrade the GPU for use in Windows. Do I have any options here besides building a brand new system? Thank you

Thank you! 1. Carbon Copy makes sense, although I suppose if a piece of hardware like the motherboard bit the dust, I'd be screwed anyway and need a new build. Do I just need to create a Unibeast USB from a tutorial, or do I need to copy the EFI from my drive as a backup? How would I do that...

I have a confession. I built my hackintosh about 4 years ago and once I got everything working, I never updated it, stopped looking at hackintosh discussion forums, and over time, slowly forgot everything about how it works in terms of the EFI, clover bootloader, etc. I’m still running OS X...

Thanks. Looks relatively similar to something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AI2YGK4/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 I like the price, but I just found a review of the Amazon Basics Single Monitor Display Mounting Arm that specifically states the monitor can be lowered below the mounting...

That sounds great. Do you have a link? I googled but couldn't find that model or that brand.

I have a ViewSonic XG2703-GS monitor and my desk is very tall. This is the desk. The desk has a shelf that is 11" higher than the main desk platform. Most people seem to keep their screens on this top shelf, but for me, it's way too higher and I'm craning my neck. I'm looking for a more...

Wow, thank you! That just might be the answer! My solution in the interim was to boot up into Windows 10 and backup/restore from iTunes 12.7 there. I'm going to have to look into how to update Clover. My biggest fear is just breaking this rig from it's working state since it's my main computer...

Thank you, that actually helps a lot. I had no idea that my mobo and CPU would support newer Apple OSes. Any idea if Sierra of High Sierra would support a GTX 970? I'd love to upgrade the GPU, but probably in the future, not right now. In terms of updating the OS, what steps do I need to take...

Sorry, updated my profile. Been awhile since I've been here because Hack was working smoothly for a couple years :) I figured Time Machine was an ok choice because if anything went horribly wrong, I could always buy a real mac and just restore from TM. Cloning the system isn't a bad idea at...

First, I apologize because even though I built a hackintosh a few years ago, I haven't kept up to date and have forgotten most of what I learned about setting it up/getting it working. I do know that I'm using Clover (not sure what version, it still says Merry Xmas lol) I'm on Yosemite OS X...

I have a Hackintosh running OS X 10.10 Yosemite and I'm dual booting Windows 7 from a separate SSD. I want to get the free upgrade to Windows 10, but I'm wondering if doing that upgrade will have any effect on my Clover install, or how my computer operates. Can anyone answer this for me? My...

Bump

When I first set up my hackintosh (i7-4790K, Z97X mobo, GTX 970, OS X 10.10.5), when I shut down my computer, my external hard drives would stay on. I could hear and feel them still spinning, or at least their fans were still needlessly blowing and the cases felt warm. The drives did not do...

I did not try that, however I got it working decently by Injecting Intel AND entering in ig-platformid=0x0a260006. Any ideas why this was necessary on reboot, but not after initial install?

Update 3: Installed Yosemite 10.10.3 on a Z97X-UD7 TH with an i7-4790K. Right after initial install, Intel HD 4600 graphics work well. However, after post-installation with Multibeast, I get a hanging boot due to "Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport," and I'm forced to essentially start...

UPDATES: I re-installed Yosemite and tried using the Alternate Post-Installation instructions here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-desktop-guides/172672-unibeast-install-os-x-el-capitan-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html In Clover I added Inject Intel, as I thought maybe that would fix...

Hey everyone, I just built my computer (Z97X-UD7 TH, 4790K, 16GB RAM, currently intel graphics only) and installed Yosemite. I made a Yosemite installer on a USB drive with Unibeast (This was because I couldn't figure out how to make a clover version without Unibeast). Yosemite installed...

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if maybe it was somehow better for Thunderbolt 2 since 14,2 used Thunderbolt 1? That would be one reason for me to use 15,1, I suppose, but yes, it would be nice if it was simpler to get working. I'm hoping to not have to do anything "custom," and just use...

What is the benefit of using iMac15,1 over 14,1/14,2? I'm curious as my upcoming build is 4790K + Z97X + nvidia

Thanks! I found it at Fry's. It said In Stock, but when you try to buy it, it says Out of Stock, so I wound up purchasing at nextwarehouse thanks to your post. The order went through, so we'll see if it's actually in stock there! haha
