As the title says I am having issues with my old Hackintosh and SATA III ports. It boots up, shuts down, and sleeps fine. But, I was getting an error for the aftermarket SATA III driver/kext upon boot up. So, I deleted the kext and reinstalled it via Multibeast. Still get the error and no...

Hello, fellow hackintoshers. I am wondering if anyone has used multi AMD GPU that didn't match? What I am considering doing is using an R9-270X 2GB model with a 4GB model. Or possibly using a 7950 with the R9 series GPU since OS X sees the R9 card in the machine currently as a 7XXX card...

What kind of footage are you editing?

Well, it is time to ask for some advice and/or assistance. With much success several OSX machines have been built for our team. We have been using OSX on a PC for a while now and have loved the experience. Lately, though due to the success of the Asus Z77M-Pro which was very Vanilla(Runs...

Hello, my fellow hackintosh fans. I have built several machines for friends and myself. Well, I have sold or gave away pretty much everything but a base model Macbook Pro. It is a 13' model and does fine for almost all my uses. Well, I have been given a X58A-UD5 and i7-950 CPU. The...

Hello, I have run into an interesting situation. I installed Windows7 on my computer after having a successful OSX 10.8.2 partition running for 3-4 months. Well, I can't get back into the OSX partition. I have used rBoot with 10.8 support and get this error - Mach-0 file has bad magic number...

Hello to everyone on this awesome forum site. As we all already know the ability to build a computer and the prices for modern performance have never been better. Alas, going to build a second editing machine for the company. After trying and trying with Asus it is time to go back to old...

First off I just want to say how much help this community has always been. If it hadn't of been for people like samisnake, thelostswede, or macman, I don't think I would have gotten this computer to be as stable as it is. Alas, there is always something that holds up a perfect Custom Mac...

Hello, it has been a while. Now, everything I have been reading from people states that getting a GTX480 to work in 10.6.8 AKA Snow Leopard isn't an easy task. After a fresh install using a 9800GT, I removed the 9800GT and placed the GTX480 into the machine. Walla, everything is working...

I keep seeing the add for this little device on this site. I have gone to NewEgg and other sites to research compatibility. I haven't found anything to justify that this device works on a Mac platform. It would be nice to use as it gets its power from the PCI slot and shouldn't bottle neck a...

Hello, I am trying to build a machine to use for editing and rendering files using Final Cut Studio 3, CS5, etc... I have no issues with the system giving CUDA acceleration under CS5 or DaVinci software. But, I want to use Compressor to render out video files, but all the FCS3 programs say I...

Hello, this is probably a dumb question but here I go. I have a working Hackintosh build. It has a ATI 5770 video card but, I would like to change to an Nvidia GTX 285 or Quadra 4000. Can I just swap the cards and continue with 10.6.8? Do I have to do a complete reinstall? Lastly, can I...

Ok, now this is absolutely weird. I have heard a few different opinions. Now, I would like some more. I will do my best to explain. Using a GA-H55M-USB3 and GA-H55M-UD2H had same effect. Ok, when I put RAM in all four slots on these boards the machine will hang after a little while and/or...

Ok this is an odd question. I recently finished an install on a H55M-UD2H board. I first installed the OS onto a 2.5 inch drive. It never really ran correctly. Even with the userDSDT. Then when I installed onto the 3.5 HDD more items worked from the get go. Now, I am wondering if anyone...

After giving the old computer away. :o Its finally time to build a new image/film editing machine. :headbang: I have been looking and looking on this site and other sites as well. So, I have finally decided on a build that will suit my needs. Here is the parts I have chosen. :shh: Antec...

I like Hackintosh machines. Some don't like building machines to edit their work. Too each their own ways. The ability to make a machine as you want it is phenomenal. This build is my personal 1st build but the 2nd Hackintosh I have owned. 8-) I have owned two MacBook Pros but will stick...
