Hi there, I am building my first hackintosh with an Intel iGPU and it's unexpectedly hard. Hardware of choice is a Gigabyte Z270N-Wifi, an Intel i-7600T (iGPU: HD 630) with Mac OS 10.14.6. This setup worked fine with a Radeon 560, but with the iGPU I get stuck during boot from the Macintosh HD...

Hi, I have a Gigabyte Z270N-Wifi, a Intel 7600T and a MSI 560 graphics card. I am using a USB2 stick to install 10.14.3 (probably with the Supplemental Update, since I downloaded Apple's installer after it was released) but the boot process freezes at some point. I never get to the installer...

In 2018 I spent a lot of time case modding old Apple PowerMac cases, specifically the G3 blue&white, a G4 Sawtooth and two G4 Quicksilvers. Here I am presenting the G4 Quicksilver. The hackintosh parts are not really worth going over, so here are a few points on the case mod. I try to illustrate...

Does this sound familiar to anyone? So here I have my main work horse (7700K, Gigabyte H270N-Wifi, Samsung 970 EVO M2 SSD, GTX 1070). Up until recently it was all working with a Samsung 850 EVO S-ATA SSD and macOS 10.13.6. I am using a native WLAN solution, specifically a BCM94360CS2 card in an...

Hi there, I started building hackintoshes in 2012, but I have never used a Radeon GPU. This time however I have a i5-3550, a ASUS P8Z77-M and a PowerColor Radeon 6870 (2x DVI, HDMI, 2x mDP). Here it says it should be compatible out of the box? But what Clover settings do I need (for 10.13.6...

So here I built a Skylake-based hackintosh into a 2001 Apple PowerMac G4 "Quicksilver" (info thread soon, little teaser pic attached). Now, what about the front speaker? Just one piece, but hey, it's Harman/Kardon if I remember correctly. The cable seems to have two wires. I don't find this...

In the feature description for WhateverGreen it says Does that fix the stutter that I and lot of other users experience? Currently I am on 10.13.3 with a Gigabyte 1070 and using an old version of the NVidia Web Driver was the only way for me. With anything newer YouTube videos would stutter...

I am currently feeling like modding a G4 tower (after two G5's) and one offering on EBay comes with a 23" Apple Cinema Display from 2003. Now I remember those displays and while those where fine at the time, I don't think today they hold up. Now on ifixit they have guides for that thing and at...

Yeah, question is right in the title. My local stores are full of M2 Samsung 860 EVO's, yet the current part recommendations on the tonymac main page don't mention them. The list carries the 840 SATA's, 850 SATA's, 960 EVO M2's ... but not those? The M2 860 EVO's are NVAND, so I guess macOS High...

Yeah, the question is pretty much in the title. Let's say I have a USB stick lying around, prepared by Unibeast, that I used to install macOS Sierra or High Sierra on a hackintosh. Now I have original Apple hardware that I want to install macOS on. Can I use that same stick or do I have to use...

Hi there, I already have a hackintosh up and running with macOS 10.12.6 "Sierra". The mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-H270N-Wifi. Now let's assume I get my hands on a Gigabyte GA-Z270N-Wifi. Could I just swap the mainboard and the hackintosh continues to work as before? Or do I have to do a...

So here is the second G5 case I bought used on EBay. The other one I repainted, whereas this one was used as is by me until recently. A few weeks ago I bought new Kaby Lake hardware and put it into a Corsair 250D. The modded G5 case with the old 2012-ish parts I gifted to a friend. I am using...

Hi there, I am currently building my new hack, a GA-H270N-Wifi with a 7700K. The latter should have a HD 630 iGPU. Now, that setup works fine, but via DVI-D or HDMI I can't get my 1440p monitor to run at anything higher than 1080p. A different 1200p screen is being recognized a such though. I...

Hi there, I am going for a Gigabyte H270N-Wifi motherboard, 7700K CPU and a GTX 1070 ITX graphics card. While I have some hackintosh experience I am worried about a complicated install. In this thread the thread starter uses that very board but the install process is soooo complicated. Why is...

So, I've never really liked my Corsair Carbide 400R. It's functional, sure, but also just one big black block. At the same time I never really liked people's efforts to "pretend" they have a Mac when they build a hackintosh. Why do people put a Apple logo sticker on a conventional PC tower? Why...

Hi, so, I assembled my (first) Hackintosh, created the UniBeast USB stick with ML on it. Now I try to boot the stick to do the very first ML install, but it kernel panics shortly after booting. Can't be a VT-d issue since the CPU doesn't support that anyway. My hardware is: GA-Z77MX-D3H...

Hi, being a Apple customer since 1996 it looks like I finally ended up in the Hackintosh scene. Wow, who would have thought. I am currently using a 24" early 2009 iMac and looking for an update. I waited my a** off for the new iMacs (18 months, basically), and I'm shaking my head in...
