    is there any way to control fan speed on hp prodesk 500 g3?

    One can achieve a measure of fan control with the addition of sensor kexts either FakeSMC or VirtualSMC packages are available via simple search here or on net. In my experience, after adding those to your EFI, you may (or may not) then have control of the fan speeds by using either HWMonitor...

    FirePro W7000 Compatibility

    Hmmm... (I know this is pretty much a 'dead' thread, but I have been working on getting an AMD S7000 working in my latest project, and there is a paucity of relevant info on both it and its 'brother' card, the W7000 (which my card is detected as) in my system: HP Z2 G4 workstation tower i5 9500...

    [Guide] HP 6300 Pro / HP 8300 Elite - A 100 percent Working and Easily Affordable CustoMac

    If you're on a budget, and don't mind ~720p, get a Microsoft Lifecam HD 3000; plug-n-play goodness on Macs-Hacs. It is of acceptable quality for coms and general purpose (all-around) use, IMHO. One can tweek it with "Webcam Settings", which I'm pretty sure is still on the App Store for free. A...

    weird number of partitions

    I ran into the same thing after installing Catalina last night on my DeskMini 100. Given a very limited exposure to Catalina, I'm not real sure if it is 'normal' or not. However, the PCIE NVME drive (with Mojave 14.4) is still showing as a single volume. I suspect this has to do with some...

    ASRock Deskmini 110 issues

    I had the same issue at one point, and as I recall, it was a function of USBInjectAll not installed, or perhaps improperly applied, giving no access to KB or mouse at login. I believe it must also be present [on the USB drive] in order for one to install, which I assume you already know. I...

    ASRock Deskmini 110 issues

    My DeskMini 110w setup is ~ finished. Whew! After an extended slog (literally years), I finally got this DeskMini 110w 'hacked', and even though I haven't yet checked EVERYTHING, I am satisfied it will now suit my purposes for a modern, inexpensive, powerful, yet energy-efficient 'Mac' which is...

    macOS 10.14.4 Update

    I had a different experience, and a few things didn't go well, but, since I heeded your primary statement [BACK UP!] all ended well. I first tried updating to the latest Clover build (here) but it was bugging out and the install failed [>once], and I also [first] tried to upgrade directly from...

    Is It Necessary to Update to 10.14.4?

    It isn't "necessary", really, in my view. I have generally adopted a "if it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it" attitude as it regards updating. I have running versions on different 'hackintoshes' around here going back into Lion, and they all seem to be perfectly fine and usable... I do like to keep...

    macOS 10.14.3 Supplemental Update

    [Solved] Build Boot Stick that recognizes NVME before install?

    OK, thanks for your response and buttressing my current understandings, based upon info I have gathered thus far ;) I probably have an issue with a corrupted installer &/or USB stick, or there may be some problem with the motherboard. I installed an SSD but was still unable to get High Sierra...

    [Solved] Build Boot Stick that recognizes NVME before install?

    I am currently attempting a Deskmini 110 Hackintosh project, and intending on using only one drive--an NVME drive--to save $ and energy and keep the heat down (tiny stx box]. I have experienced a few barriers, including the possibility of my installer not recognizing the NVME drive during...

    Awediohead--As I recall the measurements are outside/inside diameters (there are different sizes, I presume), and the 'HP' compatible types all seemed to work; I actually ordered several different ones 90/120 & the beasty one. Sorry for non-response--haven't been on here for a while. I think...

    I had suddenly encountered problems with Mail not searching, and almost all mailboxes (VIPs, Flagged, etc.) went empty and non-responsive, on El Capitan, prior to updating to 10.12.6--don't know why... Tried many 'fixes' shown in different forums--then I thought to look here. I should have come...

    Thanks to all involved--this is an awesome little system :thumbup:; easy setup, and great compatibility...I was able to use this guide to install a 4590 I5 with a slim HSF, and used an external 230W power supply for HP laptop/dock, so I can use this as a hi-power unit video editor, or whatever...
