After much duress, I have successfully installed Catalina 10.15.6 on my old i7-4790k, Z97X mainboard, just updated with a new PCIe M.2 970 SSD and a RX 580. It has been a while since my last hack, but it was a great re-learning process. Everything about the build is functional (yeah!) however...

Hi folks! I have a Sandisk SSD with Mojave running ok and I bought a Samsung 960 EVO m.2. I've used CCC to clone SSD to m.2 and restart. So, until this I could start Mojave from m.2 normally. Clover was in SSD EFI until this. After this, I installed Clover in m.2 EFI and move all files from...

Hello, This might be a dumb question, if so, the answer should be fairly quick and simple. I want to update the Hardware on my "Mac Pro" [SEE SIGNATURE - 1ST BUILD]. Can the EVGA GTX 1060 work on the Gigabyte z97x series motherboards?

Hi guys! I'm searching over 2 weeks and nothing about to make my USB 3.0 ports working. I've tried the Multibeast solution to expand ports limit and solution to series 9 motherboards and nothing. My system report only shows USB 2.0 doors and one USB 3.0 Hub, but nothing I connect shows in that...

Hi, I built my hackintosh 4 months ago and its has given me quite an "interesting" time. Most days/weeks it is quite stable and works the way I want, but some weeks it starts to act up. It seems quite random when it works and when it does not! I work mainly with music production, so I have a UA...

Hi! I'm in the process of buying the parts for my first Hackintosh. I will be using a Gigabyte z97x board and I looked at the Samsung SM951 SSD M.2 drive. I've seen people run OS X on it, but I have not found any guides for doing so, and I don't know if its more difficult since its a...

So I finished building my first hackintosh a couple of weeks ago, and I still have some lingering questions. In my windows partition, everything works perfectly. Display is hooked up through thunderbolt, speakers are hooked up through the display, devices are hooked up to the display, it...
