So I have an opportunity to swap my Asus Prime Z370-A for a ROG Strix Z370-e motherboard at my local computer store. These boards are very similar with the exception of some Rgb and Thunderbolt 3 headers. If I do the swap, what are the odds that my High Sierra drive will still boot? Any...

Thank you. I think I found a workaround for the Thermaltake Riing Plus fans that came with my AIO. I'll post back here if it's successful. Since watercooling has become so popular, Tonymacx86 should have a list of approved RGB watercooling options that will work with Mac OS. Right now, you...

Does the NZXT fan controller connect to fan headers for motherboard PWM control, or does it use USB and it's own software? I'm using a Thermaltake Ring Plus AIO, and there is only software PWM control which does not work in MacOS as far as I can tell. I ran Geekbench for about 15 seconds and...

Nice. I understand now. Thank you.

Jay, if I can't do it now with those instructions, then it can't be done. THANK YOU. I will let you know how it goes. UPDATE: I got audio as soon as I rebooted after using KextBeast! :clap: But "Sound" under System Preferences shows that I only get sound using Internal Speakers instead of...

I really wish I could understand what you're trying to tell me. I truly appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions, but this is over my head. I don't know what the codec is, dummy kexts, /L/E, or layout ids. I'll do some research to see if I can figure this all out. I really need...

I found that, too, but I don't know how to do those things. The terminology assumes that the reader already has a certain level of understanding. I need the tutorial that teaches me the basics about kexts and such before I can understand the rest.

That's the best explanation I have read anywhere since starting my hackintosh research. So thank you! Since this was a brand new build, I went back and wiped my Win10 drive and followed the instructions. Now my dual boot is working great, except for two issues. I have no audio in High Sierra...

Hi. I'm a complete noob. I just got my hackintosh working with dual booting Win10 on separate drives. As far as I can tell (because I don't really know how to check for errors yet) everything is working except for Audio. I have nothing listed in System Preferences for Audio output. I found...

I am a total noob, so my questions are very basic. (1) How do I know if my Nvidia Web Drivers are working? (2) How do use Xcode to follow the steps you listed?

Do you still need to install W10 on a GPT formatted NVMe drive? Also, what is the advantage of Clover vs the motherboard boot menu?

I plan to have W10 and OSX on separate SSDs. What is the benefit of using Clover? What functions would I be giving up if I just used the bios boot menu instead?

Duly noted. I didn't create a profile earlier because all of my components are still in their boxes. I'm building my hackintosh this weekend. I've got a buddy who will let me use his computer. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks trs96. There isn't an El Capitan listed in my purchases in the App Store. However, I do have an "Install OS X El Capitan" icon on my dock. I must have downloaded it and decided not to run it. Do I need to delete that one in order to see it again in the app store? Also, how much...

I cannot download High Sierra because even though I am currently running OS 10.10.5, I am using an early 2008 iMac which is not compatible with HS. How do I get a download?

I just ordered an EVGA GTX1080 FTW2 DT graphics card for my first hackintosh build. I know this specific card isn't on the Buyer's Guide list, but the FTW2 card is. I'm hoping that these cards are basically identical except for that the DT has not be OC'd (...yet). I was planning on getting a...

Thank you. I've ordered all of my parts and I'm just anxiously waiting.

Thanks Jay. That sounds perfect. I'm going to give that a try. Maybe you can answer my other question about this setup. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/pre-build-question-dual-boot-with-windows-10-speed-issues.256993/

This is exactly what I'm planning as well. Have you got it working yet?

Hi. I'm planning on building an i7-8700K/GTX1080 hackintosh with dual boot for Windows 10 on a separate drive. I tend to use both operating systems for different things. But I will primarily be using Davinci Recode in Windows. My question is whether or not the BIOS settings for the MacOS...
