It's been a while since my last visit. With the upcoming Yosemite, I wanted to see the last compatible hardware. I'm surprise that there are no comments on the last Buyer's Guide. The comments were closed recently? Or it's a bug on my browser? Also, I'm happy to see the H97 and Z97 boards in...

Dear Customac Mini experts, I am planning for a basic Customac Mini, similar to what I already have. (see my signature) But this time, I was a smaller footprint and still silent. Components: GA-H87N-wifi, i3-4330 running the HD4600 (stock CPU fan), 8GB, SSD 250GB, HDD 1TB (basic and low...

I have a basic Customac Mini from 2012, with the GA-B75, i3-3225 using HD4000, 1 SSD and 2 HDD. I looked at my real consumption yesterday, with a watt meter on the plug. Idle: 44W with near 100% load on CPU for few minutes: 64W (doing a video in iMovie + load with terminal command + geekbench)...

I have a strange case and hope someone would have ideas.. I had a fully working hackintosh (see my sig) It was running on SSD + HDD for storage I wanted to make a FusionDrive to try it. Before that, I cloned my SSD to an external HDD. The FusionDrive was successful. I was able to clone back...

I'm planning to try the Fusion Drive on my hack. I cloned the system to an external USB HDD and got it to boot. Then when I wanted to format the SSD + internal HDD, I was stopped because the SSD has the system on it. Is there any way I can go around this limitation? (I am sure I am booting from...

My next project for my little Mac Midi, is to "silence" the HDD. This is my first computer with SSD and it's so silent. But each time the HDD is spinning when I access the movies, I can hear it clearly and there is some kind of vibration. I don't think it's from the front fan, because it's not...

Now that my build is running smoothly for the last few days, I remembered this news about new Mac Mini HD4000, which had more VRAM than previous ones. (from MacRumors : http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1476214 ) By installing 8GB of RAM, the HD4000 was showing more VRAM. It's not...

Hi, After a first day ok, my new rig was crashing. I am reinstalling OS X but I was wondering if my config in MultiBeast is correct. I took mainly the info from Moarfish build. I am using a Sandisk SSD. Maybe I should add the Trim Enabler, but I was not sure which one. Thanks for your...

Hi again, Sorry to open a new thread, I fixed my other problem, so it will be more visible. (and maybe useful for others) I got my first hackintosh, up and running since yesterday. (See my signature for config. All pretty basic, working out of the box) All was ok after Unibeast, OS X...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if all is linked, or maybe 2 different issues. I prefer to put all together. I got my first hackintosh, up and running since yesterday. (See my signature for config. All pretty basic, working out of the box) All was ok after Unibeast, OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and...

I just started to install ML onto my new rig. All was smoothly going, setting up the BIOS, running the USB flash, Unibeast, formatting the SSD, all as planned. I installed ML without any problem, then I need to run the MultiBeast from a second USB key. It was mounted but then when I clicked to...

I am wondering if it's only a problem on my computer, because it would have been reported by others.. In the menu bar, if I click "Articles", it goes nowhere. (It's a "javascript:void(0)") I must click each of the sub-menu to read each article categories. Is it a bug? Is it on my computer...

I'm almost done with my research of components. I will get a budget Customac Mini 2011-2012. ;) Core i3-2125 (using HD3000) GA-B75M-D3H 2x4GB Corsair XMS3 PC1333 Silverstone TJ08 SSD 120GB (Crucial M4 or Samsung 830 depending on availability. or OCZ.) OSX Lion (or ML... not sure at this moment)...

(Solved) Any dual display GPU (fanless), cheaper than GT430? => No Simple question (maybe simple answer..?) Solved: the GT430 is the best choice, for silent dual DVI output. I could only find the GT430 on the Customac 2011 list, which is fanless. It's about 65€ on Amazon.at The GT210 is...

There is 2 or 3 threads, when we were first complaining of missing features, and they came back with "My posts" and "Activity Stream". I guess, there might still be some work behind.. (?) But I feel something still missing from my point of view. In previous forum, I had much more...

It's been many weeks that I already plan my customac mini, from the recommended components. (Thread is here in "legacy" forum : tonymacx86 Forum • View topic - Buidling a CustoMac Mini (silent? dual monitor?) - Austria ) I still wait to see the ML, the new customac 2012, etc. In the...

I am reading around the forum and found the topics about new Shuttle barebones. Then I realized it was possible to use them for a hackintosh. Is it as good as the recommended motherboard (Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3), inside the usual case (Siverstone SG05, Thermaltake Q element, or Antec ISK, etc..)...

Maybe a stupid question but I could not find the answer regarding hackintosh. I have a old souvenir from 10 years ago, when it was always recommended on PC to have 2 identical Ram modules for faster access. Maybe nowadays, it's completely obsolete thought? I'm planning the components for a...
