Hi, after 7 years, I am finally going to upgrade my rig, so I was think of getting a Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 instead of an i5. It is hardly slower than an i7, but a lot cheaper, got Hyper-Threading feature. No integrated HD4600, I dont it anyway. Now, the important question: Will it work...

I'm guessing that all of the hardware on the compatibility list would also translate to an actual Apple Mac Pro. I have a Mac Pro 4.1 (2x2.26Ghz QuadCore Xean (Nehalem) I'm hoping to rejuvenate the ol' gal with an SSD, extra RAM and a new video card. :beachball: I saw that there were some...

Hi guys, I have a Mac Pro on 10.8.5. After updating, I found I could only boot in with -F GraphicsEnabler=no. I configured GraphicsEnabler=no on Multibeast, but I find I still need both -F and GraphicsEnabler=no or I get a kernel panic. How do I solve the underlying issue at hand?

=So, i stupidly installed multibeast (and checked all the boxes) on my mac pro 4.1. i did it thinking i would be able to make my gtx 560ti more stable. i got the obvious boot hang when booting osx. after reading a tutorial on here i manged to get osx working again by replacing the contents of...

I have recently bought a Mac Pro 2006. Despite the Macs age, the price attracted me. However, I am considering having a dual boot of Windows 7 for gaming. The current Graphics Card (ATI Radeon X1900 512MB) will not handle the games I want to play. I will mainly be using Windows 7 for gaming, and...

PCIe Flash Storage Compatibility List Hi tonymacx86 community, I'm really interested in PCIe Flash Storage since the new 2013 Mac Pro will be taking advantage of this technology. I've been looking into Hackintosh compatible cards and haven't found any confirmed working list on tonymacx86 or...

Hello everybody, A couple of weeks ago I had the change to by a Powermac G5 late 2005 and a Mac Pro from 2006 for €120 (about $160). I thought this was a very good price and bought both. The G5 has a bad PSU but the Mac Pro still works but runs very hot (CPU around 90°C). I also have a...

Hi guys want to build a Pro machine for photo editing. Just wanted to know if anyone knows if there's any issues they're having with their final machine before I take the plunge. Last build I did I ended up finding out too late that the 6950 wouldn't work properly and was really just crap...

This is the first time I've done a hackintosh build, and I have made a powerful computer that can easily run Mac OS X. About 4 months ago, I bought a Mac Pro for work purposes, and it came with Mac OX 10.8. My macbook I had previously was upgraded to 10.7, so I have that as a purchase in the App...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not, can a Final Cut Pro X fully use the potential of a high end graphics card? I am planning to buy a 4.1 Mac Pro and put AMD 7970 (because of its OpenCL performance) in it, but I don't want to overspend $$$ if the processor...

Hi guys, I really want to put an internal speaker on my hackintosh- similar to the G5 and its internal speaker. I had one of these a few years ago and the speaker was pretty good. Just wondered if anyone knew how I could use this and implement it into my system to use for light music use. When...

Hey guys. At the minute, I have a core i3 hackintosh with 8gb ram and a z77-ds3h motherboard and a GT520 graphics card. It's fine but just not quite the performance I am after. It served perfectly as an upgrade from my 2011 Mac Mini 2.3ghz i5 but just isn't cutting it anymore. I am ready for an...

I was hoping someone could help me with an EVGA GTX 680. This card is installed into a 2009 Mac Pro (MacPro4,1 patched with MacPro5,1 firmware for future CPU support) and being driven by the official Nvidia drivers (http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-304.00.05f02-driver.html) -- I would like...

I've been meaning to write this up for a while now, so here it is. What I started with was a 2005 model Mac Pro that I bought on eBay. The Mac Pro wasn't working when I got it, which was fine for me as I only wanted it for its case. This is the list of components that went into the case...

I have taken a clone of my Mtn Lion system drive from my hackintosh and installed it back on my (old) mac pro. Everything is fine on the mac pro except for the face that the machine won't restart, wake up from sleep or shutdown. It also becomes unresponsive with the screen off after a long...

Hi Everyone, I am planning on a Hackintosh Pro Workstation with a Xeon E3-1245V2. My preffered board would be the ASUS P8C WS (C216), but as I read here, there are problems with ASUS UEFI boards. I could not find a gigabyte board that supports ECC RAM, my second choice would be the Gigabyte...
