Hello! I'm nearly finishing my Skylake Hackintosh and I've stumbled upon a problem with my GPU/Drivers. My GPU (GTX 970) shows up as "Nvidia Chip Model 5mb" and it's impossible to do anything without nv_disable=1 boot flag. I tried to fix this by: - Reinstalling drivers - Using ADGPfix - Adding...

I'm wanting to build my first Hackintosh, and I'm trying to figure out what areas I can cut costs without crippling performance. For background, I do post production audio for a living (almost entirely in Pro Tools 12), and my current iMac runs Sierra, so I'd like to stay on Sierra if possible...

Hi there guys, I sold my Macbook Pro a couple of weeks ago because I was looking forward to create my own Hackintosh. This weekend (black friday) I took the opportunity to buy the most part of my build but the monitor and the graphics card went to expensive and became out of stock. My (almost)...

Hey guys, Will try and keep this pretty short/sweet. I'm a software guy, so I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to building a rig. My goal is to follow golden builds as closely as I can while also getting the performance I'm looking for: Mobo: ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO LGA1151...

I am planning on making a rig with Windows (7, 8, or 10 depending on which runs best) for gaming, and OS X El Capitan for audio recording (Logic and ProTools) and creative suites (photoshop, CS5, Final Cut Pro X). It's my FIRST BUILD, and I have read a lot but still am shaky on buying the right...

Hello guys, So I've purchased a MacBook Pro about three weeks ago and I am interested in making my first Hackintosh. One question I have, since I've never done anything with the Mac OS, is that if I set it all up and build it and get the OS running. Can I, say, add more RAM, or another SSD/HD...
