[vbulletinpro]

Hi,

I have just ordered a new desktop and i would like to dual boot it with latest Mac OS Sierra with Windows 10. I was previously using Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch Late 2015 Model. But Now i would like to build a hackintosh for my pc.

Processor:
Intel® Core™ i7-5820K Processor (6 cores at 3.8 GHz with Intel® Turbo-Boost, 15 MB)

Motherboard:
X99 Chipset

Graphics:
Asus Strix Direct CU II GTX 970, 4 GB GDDR5

RAM:
8 GB DDR4 (2 x 4 GB), 2.133 MHz, Dual-Channel

Storage:
2x 480gb Crucial SSD 6gb/s + 2 TB (7200 rpm)

Wifi and Bluetooth:
Intel® 7260AC + BT 4.0 (802.11ac, 2x2, Dualband, 2,4 and 5 GHz, Bluetooth 4.0)

I will be using Hp z34c Curved display having resolution of 3440X1440px.


let me know if its possible to run dual OS on this pc. Thanks

If you want to run Mac OS rather than Winblows I think you should have waited on Hackintosh advice from the experts... it really matter which brand of mobo graphics card etc you get not just the chipset.

I just asked about a X99 build I want to do but I would used the 3.3Ghz chipset and overclock it to 4.7Ghz... BUT I fear I might have to hack it myself. I posted before I saw your post heres my thread no answers yet.

That system might run macOS - I don't have any personal experience with X99 builds, but others have been able to do it with some difficulty. The Intel Wifi/Bluetooth card will not work in macOS (well, maybe the Bluetooth but not the Wifi).

Based on what I've read, the Asus Strix 970 GPU should work fine.
