Yes, I understand that NVMe drive as the boot over SSD would be the accepted wisdom. It's just that I didn't do my homework properly and see that actually this particular NVMe is not that highly rated in terms of fail rates compared to Samsung products. And also, thinking if the NVMe is my...

Great news! Thanks for the reply. I have a Samsung 850 evo 500GB SATA SSD too...Can I ask, which of these would you recommend as the boot and which as storage? I will use the machine for audio production.

Hello guys, Could any of you advise whether it's easy, difficult or impossible to use WD Blue SN550 1TB High-Performance M.2 Pcie NVMe SSD as a boot drive? Specifically with the following build; MOBO: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming WiFI CPU: i7-8700K OS: Mojave I have seen specific Samsung...

Hey man, Im not sure exactly how much detail you want, but I can tell you I have the following; Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming i7 8700K 32gb Ram No graphics card Corsair H60 ASUS USB BT400 (I haven't got this to work yet) Samsung 850 evo 250gb I run High Sierra with Logic Pro X

Hey mthayer104 - thank you so much for the thorough guide for this...I seem to have a working Hackintosh; yours was the 3rd guide I used for this (my first) build, so very grateful for it. I think my USB ports are not all firing on all cylinders so will look into that, I also had to change the...

Hey @BoomR, I made a similar build to you as I had seen you are an audio guy, too, and seemed very knowledgeable with this stuff. (I am new to Hackintosh myself.) I know you do not use onboard WiFi, and I also don't need this. But I see you use Bluetooth peripherals, and I would like to use them...

Hi thrf Thanks a lot for your advice. I ended up buying i7-8700K with Corsair H60 Water Cooler, 32GB Ram and no graphics card (for now). I have done the physical build, but haven't even done the install yet - I think this will be enough of a challenge for a noob such as myself before I consider...

Hey KapnKrunch, thanks very much for your advice. I was away hence slow response. I had actually ordered the K version and a Gigabyte MB before I got your advice about having to have a dual boot machine if wanting to overclock with that. STill good to know though! I too wasn't in the market...

Thanks so much for your advice!

Hello all, About to make my first build - for music production...no video editing, but maybe occasionally scoring to video. Im planning on going for i7-8700K as its recommended in the latest buying guides and seems the most powerful option. However, I know that there is some debate about i5...

Hi James Bond! Thanks so much for taking the time to advise me. I will make a separate post about OSX choice for music, I understand that my current choice of processor means only High Sierra will work if I go with that. Can I ask your thoughts on i7 "K" vs i7 "non-K" for my uses as described...

Hello all, I'm hoping to build a powerful machine that will last me a while. I'll use it mainly for audio (Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Reaper, Ableton Live). Occasionally I might score music to video, but very unlikely to do any video editing. A quiet build would be nice, but not...
