Number crushing / silent hackintosh

[DAIK]

Hello,

First try to order a silent - yet quite powerful config
No game, only modeling and CADs

My only concern is about the palit... will it work since no reference on that model?


-Intel Skylake Processeur Core i7-6700K
-Gigabyte Z170X Ultra Gaming Carte mère Intel ATX Socket LGA1151 / Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 (depend on amazon..)
-ARCTIC Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 - 160 Watt
-be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 Alimentation PC 650 W
-Ballistix Sport LT 32Go Kit
-Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX, 4GB GDDR5

All will fit in a Cooltek umx3 case

Any hint about this project ?

Thanks a lot

That GPU should work, but I would stick to something that is known for your first build (I assume). Only other advice would be to drop down to ~500w on the PSU IF you want to save a couple bucks.

Thanks chedda7 for your reply,

About the GPU I gave up upgrading MacPros/Modding Old G4 for this particular reason.
My second option was a dual xeon on an old MacrPro > or equivalent with dual CPU's
Well ... it will be a Try/fail for the Palit ...

I will try a lower 550W PSU since they've to be in charge between 80-100 % to be efficient

Yipee all the set up received :

-Intel Skylake Processeur Core i7-6700K
-Gigabyte Z170X Ultra gaming instead of the /UD5.
-Le Grand macho RT
-Seasonic - Platinum fanless 520 W
-Ballistix Sport LT 32Go Kit
-Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX, 4GB
-Fractal Design Define R5 case

Since I ordered a passive PSU + Passive GPU + Grand Macho RT in a Define R5 case...

Any advice concerning the grand macho use without fan?


Seems to me that this config should be 45° tilded (+/-mac pro 2013 system) (and made a wrong choice on the case)

Any advice concerning the grand macho use without fan?

That is a rather hight TDP CPU to be running fan less. Based of the illustration I assume you are going to have a rear exhaust fan? I would say you could remove the rear exhaust fan and keep a fan on the cooler pointed out that way.

 

[DAIK]

Yes 95W.. on the edge of thermaltake recommandations.

This rear Fan annoys me since the air flow's blocked by the massive ventirad. I'll shut it down/remove it after OS X installation and thermal log.

But the main goal will be a fan less config (only case fan's) or at least an efficient combinaison of both system...

 

[chedda7]

Do you plan on dual booting Windows at all?

 

[DAIK]

Nope; exempt in case of fail.. I work only on OS X.

 

[DAIK]

Just a post to show the temperatures on idle.. quasi passive configuration works well.

The grand macho fan is off or v-low and switch only on charge..all I can hear is my switch in the other room

Hello! I'm trying to update my graphics card to the same one you used and I'm having a hard time finding the KEXT file for it to work. Would you be so kind to share it with me?
Thank you so much!
