    Install OS X El Capitan with Chameleon

    Thanks to all who put the effort into making this happen. I've been checking on this site periodically hoping for just such a tool to appear. I was disappointed when I learned that Chameleon was initially abandoned as I had always known that clover came with a bit of a learning curve. I'm...

    Finished Simple Power G4 Sawtooth mod

    you did a fantastic job. I'm a tad jealous. These cases really take me back and make me feel very nostalgic of my college days. I tried to find one on eBay but no such luck. :(

    El Capitan - 4790K / Z97 PRO / SSD 850 PRO

    You're not the first person I've read from on a Z97 stating that they couldn't boot their system with the USB stick removed. I never had this issue with my Z97. Maybe it's a BIOS setting that causes this? I'm only saying that because I've had booting issues in the past where they've cleared up...

    El Capitan Unibeast 6

    Found a 16GB around the house and gave it a shot. Seems that the 16GB stick works. Yay.

    El Capitan Unibeast 6

    same problem.. same error. All Unibeast installations before 6.0 have been flawless for me. Attempted on a 8GB USB flash drive with a App Store copy of OS X 10.11 on a MacBookPro.

    [SUCCESS] Asus Maximus Hero VII, i7-4970K, GeForce GTX 980ti

    I initially had difficulties with the installation and removed the graphics kit, memory and drives as a means only to avoid complications. When I installed the 10.10.4 combo update I left all of my nVidia cards, memory and SSD drives in the system (all except for the windows drives). As it turns...

    OSX Yosemite Freezing when extra hard drive is connected

    At only three posts and half a year absence since this since this post, I suspect that you won't ever read this. But I have experienced what you are reporting about your windows partition freezing your Yosemite system. I have 8 SSD drives in my case and two of the drives are windows...

    [SUCCESS] Asus Maximus Hero VII, i7-4970K, GeForce GTX 980ti

    For the record, the 980ti card I have is just fine. Ran 8 hours of Haven Demo and 4 hours of iTunes visualizer in OSX. Such a relief! After at least 20 hours of trouble shooting I'm closer and closer to being able to definitively say that the reason OSX is freezing up so bloody consistently...

    [SUCCESS] Asus Maximus Hero VII, i7-4970K, GeForce GTX 980ti

    This is just an update on the build. I had little problems and good system stability for several weeks after putting together this guide. Until very recently I was experiencing imminent system freeze-ups. I would boot up the system and anywhere between 2 to 5 minutes the system would just...

    Graphics Card recommendations CustoMac Pro

    some card manufacturers make different sized cards which fit different case situations, cards have different cooling solutions, and some are pre-configured to be overclocked out of box. And of course, some cards have different port configurations. Prices vary based on what you want. Of course...

    First Time Hackintosh Builder for Music/Video Editing

    I only found out through real world usage that 32GB was a bit overkill. I used to run out of memory all of the time on my old system (16GB) and now I find I'm averaging about 12GB of memory used out of 32GB. 16GB may suffice. I would consider multiple fast storage solutions for what you're...

    [SUCCESS] Asus Maximus Hero VII, i7-4970K, GeForce GTX 980ti

    I'm glad that my guide could be of help. It's the least I could do considering how others on here have helped make my dream system become a reality. :D

    [SUCCESS] Asus Maximus Hero VII, i7-4970K, GeForce GTX 980ti

    I had he same graphics memory issue at one point. I'm no expert on these matters but it may refer to your graphicsenabler or gpienabler setting. What are they set at? If correct it will report the whole six thousand mb of memory but still refers to the card model as unknown. (Perhaps because the...

    [SUCCESS] Asus Maximus Hero VII, i7-4970K, GeForce GTX 980ti

    Guide for Yosemite 10.10.3 (June 16, 2015) Working: Networking, Graphics. If you are having mad difficulties getting your nVidia web drivers (GTX 9XX series for example) to work then read on. I found a solution! Not Working: On-board Audio, power management (did not attempt, don't need it)...

    [Another Success] ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO, i5-4690K, ASUS nVIDIA GTX 660

    Thanks for the info about your build. I used this guide to get everything up and runnning. albeit the process was the most difficult I've ever done for any hackintosh build. I'm glad I didn't go the route of Haswell-E which I had contemplated. I followed this guide mostly to a tee. I was a...

    343.02.02f02 NVIDIA Alternate Drivers + Security Update 2015-002 = Broken

    Apparently I upgraded at the wrong time. (coming from mountain lion, doing a clean install of Yosemite with a brand new EVGA 970 GTX) It seems some GeForce owners that updated to the current 10.10.3 very recently had their nVidia drivers voided. Current Build is 14D136 but nVidia's latest...

    Usb 3.0

    Thanks a ton! You just saved me from spending $80 which I was not wanting to part with. (was going to buy a PCI-E RocketU highpoint USB 3.0 controller card) Bit of a newb too, so your kext replacement tutorial was a major time saver. USB 3.0 hardware is finally working after a year of holding...

    Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4 B3 Success

    Nice stuff. ;-) I have a similar configuration, but my graphics card is not working (radeon 6XXX). Got everything working accept for it. I'm sure a little research on the subject will yield a solution inevitably. I have not had to "repair permissions" after an instal. This is a step I've...
