Please don't laugh

[tanstaafl1963]

New to the Hackintosh world and looking to make sure I understand the lingo on the buyer's Guide.

When I see 'Gigabyte GA-H270-HD3' it would be considered the '200 series' motherboard.

ITX is a form-factor and would need to make sure my mother board and case are both ITX.
Like an ATX moboard wouldn't work with an ITX case.

These are my ASSumptions, but you know what happens

Thank you

yes and yes

And I didn't even laugh once. There really aren't any "dumb" questions just ones that you are afraid to ask.

Thank you.. how does this list look? Pretty much grabbed the defaults..

One thing I didn't see on the buying guide was anything Bluetooth related. I didn't see the Wireless or the Motherboard indicate BT.

For a 1050 the 500 or 550w PSU will be more than enough power. This EVGA gold rated PSU is as good and sells for less than the Corsair model does. $88 from Amazon.com

There are a few USB BT dongles in B.G. Accessories section.

Wonderful.. thanks...

I wonder if the coffee mug is supported?

Hi.. I'm in the midst of the install and had a question.

I'm using this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRYHW6B/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 motherboard and the EVGA 550w PSU . There are power cabling from the PSU that are labeled 'VGA', however, I don't see any connections labeled VGA on the motherboard. I can get the BIOs to display using the Geoforce video card but not via the motherboard. Is that expected? i.e. Motherboard video disable if there's a video card detected?

Also, I'm hoping (didn't think to ask earlier) that I can support multiple displays on the
Thanks for any help.

The 6 pin power from the PSU only provides supplemental power to your graphics card, not a video signal to your monitor. What hardware are you using ? Put it all in your profile. https://www.tonymacx86.com/account/personal-details

I've updated the profile (Thank you for the suggestion).

I went ahead and worked through most of the installation, as suggested here, however I'm unclear on which drives I need to use in as shown in MultiBeast.

Wireless: TP-Link AC1900 WiFi PCI-Express Wireless Network Card | Beamforming Technology seems to be working without issue.
