I want to replace a Centrino Ultimate N-6300 Wifi card with an Asus AzureWave AW-CB160H BCM94360HMB 3x3 in an HP EliteBook 8770w laptop. I have the requisite U.FL TO MHF4 CONVERSION CABLES and have connected them to the three original antenna cables, but I'm just not certain about the order in...

Hi. Just wondering if anyone's tried to install a half-mini PCI-e card AzureWave AW-CB160H in an HP EliteBook 8770w. All of the reseller listings for the wifi card on-line indicate that it won't work with HP laptops, but I'm guessing that's because A) the HP's connectors are U.FL while the wifi...

Making a USB stick for Yosemite as we speak. Probably a stupid question, but if I'm wanting to install Yosemite on older legacy hardware (HP DC7800 with Q35 Express chipset, Core 2 Duo E8400, 8GB RAM, Micron 128GB SSD, and Radeon HD 6570), do I still install the latest version of Clover, or...

Probably a stupid question, but if using the same Yosemite download from the app store, is there a difference between the way that Unibeast 5.2 installs the OS vs. the way that 6.2 does? Wanting to re-install the OS on an older PC (HP DC7800) which, when I originally did it, I managed only by...

Whenever I boot Sierra on my EliteBook 8770w Hackintosh, the screen jumps, jitters, and gives me ten to 15 seconds of odd horizontal banding before I get the log in screen. Then, when I click in my user icon and type in my password, the screen does its thing again for another ten seconds before...

Have El Capitan back up and running after the 10.11.3 update, but not sure why I hear a loud pop (more like a small boom) through the external speakers every time there's an alert sound. Doesn't seem to matter what output levels I use in the SOUND preference panel. Still get this small cannon...

Trying to wrap my mind around EFI partitions and dual-boot UEFI installs. Installed El Capitan with Clover on an SSD without incident. Now I'd like to install Ubuntu (UEFI version) as a dual-boot on the same SSD. Q: If I let Ubuntu installer write its grub to the EFI partition, will it overwrite...

Just read RehabMan's excellent blog on triple-booting Windows, OS X, and Ubuntu, and I have a simple question. Now that modern installations are UEFI (and, consequently, now that TonyMacx86.com endorses Clover as its official boot loader), I'm wondering if it's still protocol to install grub...

Have El Capitan running beautifully on a GA-H87N wifi, Core i7, 8GB Ballistics Sport, 1TB WD Black, build. Now am wanting to step up from the integrated HD 4600 graphics to do moderately intensive video editing/color-correction in Lightworks and DaVinci Resolve. Have narrowed the field to a...

Trying to clean-install El Capitan on a bare drive in an older HP DC7800 with Clover Legacy via Unibeast. Hardware: HP Compaq DC7800 CMT Intel board SLA95 LGA775 with Q35 chipset 4GB DDR2 memory (2GB x 2) Core 2 Duo E8400 processor HIS Silence Radeon 6570 graphics card Can get to Clover boot...

Hi, Group. Relative newbie here to this forum. Have three separate Hackintoshes, all up and running smoothly, and upgrading two of the three from Mavericks to Yosemite was a breeze, as these two units were original builds. Third unit, however, is a modified HP DC7800, which was a pain to hack...

Recently did a Hackintosh Mini build with an ASROCK H87M-ITX mobo before finding this forum and learning that GIGABYTE mobos are the way to go. Now I'm stuck with a useless mobo, unless I can patch my BIOS, as MrGonzo and a few other members have indicated that they've done successfully. Just...
