Hi all, quick question - is there an easy fix for this? My portable 'work' drive, which is a USB-C SSD, never mounts on boot. It mounts fine once I unplug it and re-plug it after my hack has booted. I'm worried about damaging my usb-c i/o port with the daily unplug/plug routine. Am I worrying...

I had a solid build until I tried to replace my MSI Vega 56 with a Gigabyte RX 5700. The 5700 didn't work (half-booted then monitor went to sleep). So, for the last couple of days, i've pretty much ruined my build! (yes, i'm an idiot!). I'm currently running Catalina 10.15.3, Clover r5102...

Hi all, i've got a fully working build of Mojave 10.14.6 on 1x NVME ('MacOS Drive'). I have now cloned that (including the EFI folder which was copied to the new drive after cloning) onto another NVME ('TEMP MacOS Drive') so I can install Catalina onto this 'TEMP' drive to test if it works...

Hi all, i've been trying to update from a stable Sierra 10.12.6 to High Sierra 10.13.5 all day, but no matter what I do, when I get to the Clover boot screen and choose 'Boot macOS Install option' it then just sits with the black screen and white Apple logo. I've tried twice, leaving it for up...

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong area, please move to the correct section if required. Hi all, due to my rapidly increasing photography speed/storage/workflow with Lightroom/PS and Premiere Pro, I really need to upgrade my hack. How easy is it to remove my Ivy Bridge Mobo/CPU/RAM and...

Hi all, i've just installed an EVGA GTX 1070 SC 8gb, but can't get the drivers to install. It boots into Sierra 10.12.6 without any problems, so I downloaded the correct drivers - WebDriver-378.05.05.25f04 - but I get an 'installation failed' message. I noticed that the driver install info at...

Hi all, i'm currently running a perfectly stable hack with 10.12.4 installed (i'll be moving to High Sierra soon). Question is - if I purchased another SSD and a copy of Windows 10, how easy would it be to create a duel-boot system? I wouldn't want to put my hack at risk, so if it would...

I've decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my 8 month old hack, which has run perfectly since day one, from Lion to ML. The question is, what is the best way to update the OS from Lion to ML? Is it via Unibeast, or will that method wipe my SSD and leave me starting from scratch? In...

...Where's it gone? I'm ready to upload my build to the user builds section but I can't see any formatting options on the 'Post New Thread' section. Am I missing something? Do we have to use hand written HTML code to change text formatting? I'm confused :) I like the overall look of...

So, my monitor only has a Dual link DVI connection (DVI-I), and I've just been reading that the Sapphire HD 6870 only has one working DVI port. So which is it - DVI-D or DVI-I?? (I should've checked this before buying :oops:)

Hi guys, I'm currently saving my hard earned cash for a new hack and i've created two potential builds - 1x ATX and 1x Mini-ITX. I've got no problems with the ATX build but the Mini-ITX is causing me a few headaches :crazy: With my ATX build I plan to dual boot using 2x SSD (system files &...
