This has been a very frustrating experience. First, a bit about myself — I've been building tons of Hackintoshes for myself and friends for many years on a number of motherboards and CPU's so I wouldn't describe myself as a noob at this. I assumed that updating to the recommended components...

Hello all, I'm currently running High Sierra on a Gigabyte Gaming 5 170 board and a 6700k (the Tonymac buyer's guide from a couple of years ago). I'm using a GTX1080 for graphics and an external USB audio interface for audio so I don't use any of the built-in audio/video. Everything is peachy...

Hello, I'm running a pretty stable ASUS Sabertooth X79/i7-3930k system with 10.8.1 I have had a couple of minor issues, firstly when I try to Overclock I will get a failure to overclock in the BIOS before boot up if I push the CPU above 4.2ghz which seems a tad conservative. Secondly, the USB...

Hello all, After reading a bunch of great info on this forums I'm starting my journey. I purchased an i7 3930k CPU, a CM GX 750W power supply and a case. I'm wondering if you guys might be able to answer some questions: 1. Should I follow the recommended 2011 mobo on the buyer's...
