Hi, is this hackable?
Thanks in advance...

If the video card is the problem what should I buy?
 
thanks very much...

If you get the 4360 model make sure your H81M motherboard
is on the most current bios version. You may find the Gigabyte
H81M-HD2 or HD3 models are easier to get up an running
as a CustoMac.
 
Be careful! I am having trouble with this motherboard, during boot up, unless you boot into safe mode you will get an error about the io.apple dependancy, after that you might have trouble with the Mac App Store.

I haven't managed to get Mac OS X running successfully on this motherboard yet, so here is just a warning that it may be a lot of hassle before you will get it to work. :(

yes indeed...

anyone successful with this build? :|
I'll try a new GPU, I hope this is the problem...
 
The MSI H81M-E33 v2 works fine, it runs with yosemite and el capitan perfect.
All works, RTL8111 and alc887 also.
Still try to fix the Intel HD sound.

Run the script from Toleda's CloverALC patcher to achieve native audio.
Download this ALC887 Audio patch from GitHub.
Move the ZIP file to your desktop and extract it there.
Mount the EFI partition (the one on your Hard Drive / SSD) from Launchpad :arrow: Other :arrow: Terminal
Code:
diskutil list
sudo mkdir /Volumes/efi
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/efi

Open audio_cloverALC-130.command.zip
Edit the extracted audio_cloverALC-130_v0.6.command file.
Code:
# verify system version
case ${gSysVer} in

    10.15* ) gSysName="Catalina"
    gSysFolder=kexts/10.15
    gSID=$(csrutil status)
    ;;

    10.14* ) gSysName="Mojave"
    gSysFolder=kexts/10.14
    gSID=$(csrutil status)
    ;;

Run the edited audio_cloverALC-130_v0.6.command file in the terminal.

You should see this:

You will be asked to enter your password. Enter your password and press Enter.

Here are the questions that the script will ask you:

Confirm Realtek ALC887 (y/n): y (Type 'y' and press Enter) (You are confirming that you have ALC887)
ALC887 v_0x100302 (Current)
Clover Audio ID Injection (y/n): y (Type 'y' and press Enter) (You are confirming that you will use Clover's Audio ID Injection)
Use Audio ID: 2 (y/n): y (Type 'y' and press Enter) (If for some reason it shows another Audio ID, type 'n' and enter '2' and press Enter)

The script will download the ALC887 kext and put it in the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/15.x folders automatically. It will also add kext patches to your config.plist file and set Audio ID to 2 automatically.

Once the script finishes, copy the kext files from clover kexts folder "kexts/Other" to "kexts/10.15" and reboot.
You need to restart your Hackintosh.

Navigate to System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and select your device. That's it, audio should now be working! To confirm, you can go to System Preferences > Sound and test the ports in the Output and Input tabs.

I took the screenshots from [GUIDE] MSI H81M Motherboards, an old guide with some dead links.
