first build

Hi Everyone, So this is my first Hackintosh build and I have successfully installed El Capitan on my computer, however after downloading Nvidia Web Drivers and enabling them, when I boot back up halfway through the bootup process the monitor goes black. My Specs are: Intel core I7 2600k...

Hey guys. This is my first post. My name is Michael Carrillo (aka Hexspa) and I've been lurking here for a few weeks. I currently have a 6,2 Mac Mini running OSX 10.8.5 with a 2.3GHz i7 and 8GB RAM. I've been inspired to build my first Hackintosh. I've got a vision on which I'm hoping to...

Hey everyone, I've just purchased all of the parts for my first Hackintosh build (first computer build ever) and I'm hoping everything goes well. I've been reading about the problems some have been having with their builds and Im seeking advice on the setup I've purchased... I will be using this...

Hi all! I'm planning my first hackintosh build and am looking at parts, but I have some questions. The December 2016 buyer's guide lists the Titan X as supported, and links to an EVGA 12G-P4-2990-KR. There's a similar model which comes preinstalled with a water block, with a slightly...

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...

Hello, So, I built myself my first PC a few weeks ago and I found out that I actually really prefer Apple's OS and wanted to build a Hackintosh. I mostly use my computer for producing music (no gaming). My current build is the following : - Motherboard : MSI X99A Raider - CPU : Intel i5-6400...

Hi there! I purchased all my parts a few days ago only to find out that the MOBO (GA-Z170X-UD5 TH) I chose was discontinued and the company made a mistake in saying it was in stock. Now I have all my parts minus the MOBO. I need to get a new board and get cracking on my system. I'm using it...

Hi all! First of all, thanks for all the helpful posts / builds /guides here on tonymacx86.com. It was a pleasure reading through them and it has made me really excited to build my first Hackintosh! I've taken a good look at the guides and some other builds and picked the following parts for...

Hey Everyone! I'm super new to the Hackintosh Community and this is going to be my first build. Been looking around and feel I am ready to start purchasing parts! But first I wanted to run my gear list by the best Forum out there to see if you all have any pointers, or if my inexperience has...

Hey Everyone, I'm working on a 2015 Macbook Air running Sierra which is fantastic...until I start getting into video editing, particularly AE. Also It would be nice to not scrunch down over my 13in screen. This is just for context: I'm in the market for a mid-line desktop that I can expand...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my first Hackintosh-build. It consist of these parts: 1x GIGABYTE GA-H97M-D3H - Intel H97 - Intel LGA1150 socket - DDR3 RAM - Micro-ATX 1 1x Intel Core i5-4590 Haswell Refresh CPU - 3.3 GHz - Intel LGA1150 - 4 core - Intel Boxed 1x Cooler Master Hyper T4...

So, I am fiddling with the idea of building a hackintosh. If I would build a hackintosh I want it to be a dual boot system. At the moment I am using a MacMini, which is wrecking my nerves because it is too slow for what I use it for. From the beginning I have been using the mini for music...

Alright guys. So I put the machine together last night, as far as I can tell, everything is working except the GPU which is to be expected. However, if the GPU is connected to the power supply I can't even get to the bios, but if I disconnect it from the PSU I can get to the bios and to clover...

Hey everyone-- So most of my hardware has arrived and I'm building the bootable flash drive. How do I know if I should do UEFI mode or Legacy mode when making the USB? I can't seem to find any clear direction. I'm currently downloading the most recent version of OSX El Capitan. Thanks in...

Hi everyone-- I'm new to the forum and although I've built many PCs in the past this will be my first CustoMac. I've assembled a parts list and have made several adjustments based on the guides and forum threads, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought and if you see any red flags as far...

Hey everyone-- This is my first CustoMac and I'm hoping to build a really solid machine. I've put together a build, but I can't confirm that my graphics card is supported and it's not on any of the lists. However, it appears to be a great card and a great deal. I was hoping to order all the...

Greetings one and all, I want to build a reliable Hackintosh, and I have been trying all that I can (with what little knowledge I have read so far on this forum and elsewhere) using the guides provided by this site. I will list what hardware I currently have, and while I am open to buying a...

Hey guys! I'm trying to get the best I can by way of CPU and GPU. This is my first build, and I think I've got the parts picked out okay, but I am still a bit confused as to the best motherboard to use and could use really use some overall guidance. I am using OS X for 4K editing and graphics...
