Core i9 compatibility

[bostonmatty86]

Hey guys,

Im new here and looking into building a Hackintosh. I was wondering if anyone has had success with or knows if the new i9 8th get processors will be fine in a build.

Also from what I've read Mac OS doesn't work 100% on a hackintosh. What percentage would you guys say it does/ what issues have you run into. I've read that iMessage is hard to get working. can it be done?

Thank you all

The Core i9 9900K is not yet released. So who knows?

Wait until its release in October and then you may hear some more.

I’m running High Sierra on an AW17R5 w/i9 && gtx1080...
The answer to your question is yes, it can be done
Just do some reading. Ask for help. Everyone here is really nice and very patient.

What is your motherboard model?

I did not "install" MacOS on my current build. I just use previous installations of High Sierra and Mojave and run it on my current build.

But I did use some of the instructions from CaseySJ's golden build :

[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

I think most of the time iMessage works these days as long as you have a valid serial number in your config file. There was a time when it was very troublesome, but not so much anymore.
