I built a Hackintosh with i7 4790K with Gigabyte GA Z97X UDH TH MoBo. I tried EVGA 740SC GPU but it had issues with system booting. The second monitor would go blank of there will be kernel panic. I sent the card back.
Without that GPU everything works like a charm.
However I just purchased another 1080p monitor and when I run Handbrake or other Graphics incentive app such as Adobe PS/LR/Premiere. The system seems to heat up and it restarts. I think the CPU is heating up and can't handle the load.
So I want to know that do two 1080p monitor cause extra load on the CPU's inbuilt graphics? Do I need a dedicated GPU to run two monitors? I want to make clear that I don't play games. However I will be using this system for film-editing and transcoding.
So my questions are:
1. Do I need a dedicated GPU if I plan to use two HD monitors?
2. Is there anything else to be done to stop Mac from restarting/heating up?
3. Which cards work out of the box (740 SC didn't work well) and since I dont plan to play game I don't want to buy super expensive card.
Thanks
