Hi all..

First of all, thanks for all the work, and for sharing. Amazing community you got here. Wish all where like that.

Well, I havet done a build since the 90', So this is my first custom build. And its a Hackintosh. My Mac Mini just died. But I saved all data by mounting the two harddrives (fusion drive) in a VMware, a it ran i first try.

This is a working station, so I only need some space, lot of CPU and the integrated GPU will do, but I can see here on the forums that It wont work. So I got a semi small GFXcard.
So lets see if a rusty nerd can "blindly" follow some guides with result..

Build specs:
GigaByte GA-Z170-UD5 TH
Intel I7-6700K
Enermax LiqMac II 240 (4 fans)
G.Skill TridenZ 16GB (soon 48GB)
GigaByte GV-N950OC-2GB
Samsung SM951 SSD M.2 2280 NVMe 250GB
SanDisk SSD 250GB
Thermaltake Core P5


Im starting now, and feedback will follow on the way...

OK..

Had problems with UniBeast, but after 6 hours, the USB disk was created.
I added the M2 driver
Changed the BIOS settings, and start booting.
Its starts booting, apple logo and crash.

Now I will remove the M2 driver again. lets see..

Do you have a full guide? I have nearly the same setup like you (same mobo and same graphics card) and I am always running in "Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport" and I don't know how to fix right now.

Your GPU requires the Nvidia Web Drivers, add nv_disable=1 to your Boot args.
