Hey guys, I have a Hack with a Sabertooth Z77, a 3770k and a GTX680. I heard of the broken OpenCL are at least performance decrease of the 6xx series, and I wanted to ask wether I have any advantgae of updating to 10.8.4 with my system. My 10.8.2 is doing well at the moment, not missing any...

Hey guys, I have an old Mac Mini G4 laying around, working perfectly fine, and I have no idea what to do with it. My main computer is a super-fast hackintosh that acts as some sort of homeserver as well as my gaming machine and my machine to do work. Then I have a MacBook Pro from 2008 as a...

Maybe this already came up, but I thought a forum with so much people might enjoy a market place? You could sell parts for hackintoshes or G5 mods, or even completed hacks there. Of course, not just anyone can enter the market place, you need some qualifications (being a member for a certain...

Hey guys, This forum made my little hackintosh project reality, thank you very much for that! Meanwhile playing with the software, I was planning this build. Enjoy! My biggest inspiration was l3p's d3sk, I absolutely love it. So I decided to build something similar :) The name is made up from...

Hey guys, I'm having this really weird issue. I was just browsing on OS X, doing nothing special, facebook and stuff, when suddendly my machine froze. I rebooted it, booted fine, logged in, was very laggy, and kernel panicked about a minute later. So I booted on Windows 7, and everything was...

Hey guys, the USB3 ports of my Sabertooth Z77 don't work. All together, I should have 4 of them, two on the Intel chipset, tweo on the AsMedia. None of them work. Both of them appear in the system informations, but when I connect something it simply doesen't work. Neither my external HDD, my...

Hey guys, I recently build myself my first hack, and while I'm setting up my custom watercooling loop, I'm looking into overclocking. I'm running a i7 3770k on a Sabertooth Z77. A friend of mine gave me his SSDT for his 2600k that has a hell lot of states going up to 5.0Ghz. I doubt I'm ever...

Hey guys, I'm stuck here. I'm trying to patch the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext with the one from Mieze, but it somehow doesen't work! I don't get any error while installing, but it doesen't look successeful as well. When I want to use EasyBeast, it gives me an error! FakeSMC and...

Hey guys, so I put together my first hackintosh and tried to pwer it up. Screen stayed black, I tried a whole evening long different things, no result. Today,I got a GTX 680 and placed it into the hack and connected a different monitor using DVI output, and it worked (I already panicked cause I...

Hey guys, Today, I recieved my new hardware. It's an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 with an Intel 3770k. I took a piece of cardboard and placed it between my glass desk an the mobo, then built up the rest around (3HDDs and one SSD), then connected it all to the PSU (all on my desk, looks quite funny. I...

Hey guys,I currently own a MacBook Pro and a Mac Pro. In both of them, I use the onboard sound.But both of them have a very good soundcard and outputs preinstalled.I'm going to build a custom hackintosh with a Sabertooth Z77 board. I wonder whether the price for a good sound card is worth it?I...

Hey guys, little question: Can I use the powerbutton of a MacBook Pro as a normal power button for my Hackintosh(-in-progress^^)? It just looks so good :P The button looks like this...

Hey guys, first of all: Maybe I'm in the wrong forum in here, but I'm not going to build a hackintosh (at least not now). I want to watercool my 2009 Mac Pro. This sounds crazy, I know. Very few people have done that before. I'm planning to mod a Mac Pro to get it water-cooled. Also I want to...

Hey guys, has anyone of you lapped your CPUs? How much improvement did you get for this? I somehow can't imagine that shrubbing away material that is meant to cool down your CPU can lower your temps. For those who don't know what CPU lapping is...

Hey guys, I plan to do a hackintosh with a 3930k that I want to overclock beyond 4.5Ghz. (water-cooled, of course) I heard that ASUS boards are generally better for OCing that Gigabyte's. Is that true? I have to decide between the ASUS Rampage IV and the GA-X79-UD5 for that build. Even if...

Hey guys, I recently got an old G5 as a gift from a friend. Now I decided to make a hackintosh out of it. I never build a PC, the only things I did was changing GPUs/HDDs and removing/adding some PCI cards. On the other hand, I know OS X pretty well. I want to use the following parts...
