Hi guys,
I'm planning to build a compute server / video workstation and thought about a dual xeon setup. I'm not sure yet which xeon processors I will put in this machine but I want to keep it expandable. Should also contain loads of RAM. Of course I want to run macos on the machine, El Capitan...
EDIT: Updated info for 10.13 here.
Ok, this is my first shot at a guide, so it might suck. Hopefully it doesn't. But it might.
So, this is not a all-encompassing start to finish guide. This assumes you're at the point where you're trying to boot a macOS Sierra thumb drive (or the upgrade...
Hello so I am planning to build a hackintosh after deciding it would be a better "bang for your buck" option over getting a 2012 mac mini. This build will be used for photo editing (mainly lightroom/photoshop), some light video work and just general day to day usage. There is not set budget but...
Hi guys,
I've been working on G5 case modding for some months and finally managed to get it almost Completed.
The concept of my build is a case for ultimate high-end workstation or gaming rig. Which can hold large SSI EEB mobo to support dual CPU configuration and possesses 9 expansion slots so...
Hey guys,
If you've built a dual xeon hackintosh recently, can you please give me some input or the actual rig you're using?
The main purpose of this machine is for cpu based 3D rendering as well as hosting Resilio Sync and acting as a server.
Budget is $2000, or just a little over.
Thanks...
Can anyone confirm if the new xeon skylake v5 processors are hackintosh compatible? I would prefer a xeon over the i7 6700k simply due to ECC memory being compatible with xeons. Any thoughts?
Hi I have similar rig as you, my mb is X99-M WS and CPU is xeon as well.
my problem is different ...cant pass RTC or PCI configuration fail to start and restart the machine...i think those not needed when booting: kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0
I use : -v npc-0x2000 nv_disable=1 any other keys will...
Hello, everyone!
First of all, please let me know if this type of thread isn't allowed and what to do in that case. In the past, I've only used other people's guides, so I'm just trying to start planning for my own build!
Anyway, I've built two hackintoshes so far, the most recent being...
Is there any way I can hack my BIOS / OS / kexts / WHATEVER to force my CPU into a Turbo state? I have tried searching the forums but it seems like not many people are using Xeons.
My motherboard is ASUS X99-E WS and my processor is Xeon E5 2630-v3
Thanks much
New Xeons - Xeon E5 V4 like E5 2699V4
Does the new Xeons e5 v4 work in El Capitan?
Anyone knows it?
& whats the el capitan CPU limit - Yosemites is 30 Cores.
(including 1 Core for every Hyperthreading... of course...)
Anyone knows it?
Hi, does anybody knows how to get Yose or Capitan run with the New Xeon E5 v4 Processors?
Got a e5 2699v3 in Yose running.
Cinebench r11,5 is 21,8 (only 15cores with HT so 30 Cores - more dont work)
Now i got some e5 2699v4 but looks like they need another Kernel...
Anyone got any infos?
Hi,
I am looking for the most compatible board with ECC support.
Minimum of 3 PCI-E full-size slots, plus at least one PCI-E x1 slot.
Thanks for your help!
I have been interested about trying to make myself a Hackintosh system for a while. The internet has been filling with Skylake Hackintoshes for a while now but they all use the Intel's Core CPUs. I was just wondering does anyone know how much do the Z170 and C232 chipsets differ in this context...
Hello everyone!
I recently bought a used HP Z620 because my iMac couldn't cope with all the Simulations I threw at him and I also needed a rendering beast.
Here are the specs:
HP Z Workstation
2x XEON E5-2670
96GB RAM
Gainward Phantom GTX 970
Anyway.. I miss OS X and all it's glory so I was...
Should I upgrade Mac Pro 1,1 or build new system
Hey everyone,
I have been following this website for a while and i've been interested in putting together a hackintosh.
I'm torn between two ideas.
1. Restoring a Mac Pro 1,1 by putting 2 Xeon Quad core processors, SSD, and max out the ram...
I searched here a guide for this installation but i found two types of guides: Guides for who has got a xeon but a nvidia gpu and guides for who has got an i7 (or i5) and a 390. I'm right in the middle (Just see my signature) and I don't know what to do? Is there any remote chance that I can...
Unless Apple comes out with a Mobile Xeon based MacBook Pro, I'm hoping to build a workstation with ECC RAM in the near future.
Currently I'm eyeing something like the Gigabyte GA-X150M-PRO ECC based on Intel's C232 chipset and I'd pair it with a Xeon v5.
I'm not in a hurry but is it...
Asrock X99 Extreme3 with Xeon E5-1650V3, GTX 980 Ti and
OSX 10.11.1 El Capitan
This has been a tricky build as basicly none of the solutions for other X99 builds I found on this awesome forum (and a couple of other forums) worked for this Asrock board. So for all of those who would like...
