Kabylake Build with E2500 or I219-V Ethernet Controller ?

[blue25ID]

Hi,

I plan to make hackintosh build with Kabylake processor and motherboard. I plan to use i5 7400 for processor. For motherboard I still confuse between MSI H270 Gaming 3 or MSI H270 Artic Tomahawk. Since i dont plan for overclocking with processor multiplier, so i'm not interested with Z270.

What i concern about is MSI H270 Gaming 3 have Killer E2500 Ethernet, and MSI H270 Tomahawk Arctic have Intel I219-V Ethernet. Which one will be better? Because I also plan to have Win 7 installed for Gaming purposes. And will both of the controller will work with Sierra? I see that Intel I219-V is used in Skylake motherboard, but for E2500 it's first time with Kabylake.

Regards,

I don't think there is a Killer E2500 driver yet for macOS (though I could be wrong about that). The i219-V is supported at least by RehabMan's branch of IntelMausiEthernet, so there is a driver available for it.
