H310 chipset support

[isaacholtis]

Hey everyone, I have gone and picked up a Gigabyte H310 2.0 motherboard and an i3 9100F. I am wondering if there is anyway that I can install high sierra on this computer.

Thanks so much!

Yes you can. Just follow the Guide here.

Having said that your 9800GT GPU may be a problem. Happily the i3-9100 has its own UHD 630 iGPU and this is probably more powerful than such an old PCI-e card which doesn't support "Metal" anyway. Maybe use that instead.

Alas, I have the 9100F, that requires a discrete GPU. is there any way to even boot into the installer with that GPU?

Thanks so much!

I'm sorry, I missed that. My bad.

The 9800GT might allow an install but not being "Metal" capable you would probably have to forget Mojave and go with High Sierra instead, for which there are Nvidia drivers available.

Will my Nvidia Graphics Card work with macOS ? List of Desktop Cards with Native Support

Preamble for those new to Nvidia graphics card choices for a Hackintosh 1. You will only have success choosing macOS compatible graphics if you remember that: macOS is not Windows 2. Apple incorporates all their graphics drivers into the Mac Operating System. There are only drivers in macOS...

The 9800GT is almost 12 years old. Probably best to upgrade that somewhat. Even an Nvidia Kepler card from 2012/13 is a big step up and is Mojave compatible.

Here's the lowest cost, natively supported by Mojave/Catalina, graphics card you can buy. Support could possibly end after Catalina. We'll know in a few months from now.

Thanks! I was already planning on upgrading. Thanks anyway though!

So you're saying that high sierra will support that card? that would be really nice!

9800 GT owners started reporting problems with Sierra so I doubt it would work with High Sierra.

9800 GT macOS Sierra 10.12

9800 GT pretty much has worked with "INJECT NVIDIA" for me since the last two mac operating systems. With 10.12 it doesn't. I've tried with or without "inject nvidia" and both don't get me to desktop. I'm only able to boot to desktop with nv_disable=1. Can anyone help me out?

There may be some "hacky approaches" available to make it work but if you can't even install the OS first, it's difficult to implement them.

Okay, thanks a lot!
