macOS Sierra Does NOT Boot with MacPro3,1 MacPro4,1 System Definitions

[spdaimon]

So my hackintosh is running Mavericks right now. Can I use the UniBeast for El Capitan to change the profile? Also, I am using a HD6870 for my graphics, I assume that is still supported. I do have a spare GTX 770 around as well.

If by 'profile' you mean system definition (SMBIOS) then you can easily change it with Clover Configurator.

Also, I am using a HD6870 for my graphics, I assume that is still supported.

The HD6870 will not wake from sleep in Sierra.

I do have a spare GTX 770 around as well.

The GTX 770 should work fine in Sierra.

MultiBeast can be used to change the System Definition, not UniBeast. Use MultiBeast for Mavericks and just change the System Definition to iMac14,2.

Customize > System Definition > iMac > iMac14,2

Apparently i hurried and installed Sierra without changing the definition. Long story short, i had to update to Sierra from Yosemite- got so many other stuff installed i did not want to do clean install, do i really have to?

Well i downloaded it on my laptop, made usb. Installed, everything going ok, but when i try to get to desktop via usb,to finish the installation setup and run multibeast(boot to osx from usb/sierra picture)- it just goes to installation again. Then i have the "boot to osx from ssd" same story and the last "installation from usb" that does as it should. Is the system definition here the road block?

Hi,

Can anyone suggest what profile I should change to when upgrading to Sierra?

I have: Hack 1GA-X58-UD5 , i7, GTX 770, 6 Gb ram - defined as Mac Pro 3,1

and GA-X68-UD3, i7, GTX 770, 16 Gb ram -defined as Mac Pro 3,1

I did check out http://www.everymac.com but got a bit lost whether

Any help would be great.

Mac Pro 5.1 + or iMac 14.2 are the minimum recommended but I think you ca. Go as low as iMac 11.1?

Try Multibeast in your current software and change it before updating.

Hi, Thanks for the reply... The closest I could determine from the everymac.com list for my Hack 1 GA-X58-UD5 , i7, GTX 770, 6 Gb ram - was I guess Mac Pro 5,1 and Mac Pro 13,2 for my Hack 2 GA-X68-UD3, i7, GTX 770, 16 Gb ram. Do you have an idea where Multibeast changes the system definition? Does it change the entry in the Clover config plist? Do you suggest trying Mac Pro 5,1 for both? Thanks.

It changes it in the system definition tab, the second to last one on the right if im not mistaken. it defaults to 14,2 which is the recommended one, why are you using something different?

5.1 and the iMac 13.2 should work, I built a Kaby Lake i5 7600k and clover bootloader automatically gave it a iMac 13.2 definition. It worked fine and it should for you.

Hi, thanks, I'm just trying to find the closest match to the hardware. I'm a tad confused with it all. cheers
