I built my hackintosh 2 years ago. After some light tweaks, everything worked great, no real problems.
I built it to do audio production work (Cubase, Ableton) with Universal Audio thunderbolt interfaces.
I run El Capitan and as long as I turn on the interfaces at the Clover boot screen, everything is great.
These are my specs:
Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 TH Mobo with Thunderbolt 3
Intel Core i7 6700K Processor (4 GHz, 4 Core, 8 Threads, 8 MB cache, LGA1151 Socket Box)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB Desktop Memory Kit
2 of Samsung 2.5 inch 250 GB 850 EVO Solid State Drive
2 of Seagate ST1000DM003 3.5 inch 1TB Barracuda Hard Drive
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 - TP-Link N900 Dl Band Wless N PCI-E Adpt
LG BH16NS55.AUAR10B 16 x Internal SATA BDRW Kit
BeQuiet 600 W Straight 10 Modular Power Supply Unit
A few weeks ago, out of the blue, the computer started turning on by itself then shutting off a few seconds later.
When I turn it on, it won’t post 9 times out of 10. After spending a long time troubleshooting, the only conclusion I can come up with is that the Gigabyte motherboard is dying.
I was going to buy a replacement but they don’t make it anymore. I saw a lot of people were having similar problems in the amazon reviews.
So, now I need some recommendations for a new replacement motherboard that will be compatible with all of my current hardware.
Most important is that it has working thunderbolt 3! - I still see so many people here that struggle with getting it working.
Also, if possible, I would like to continue using El Capitan. Mainly because I’m under the impression that people have not been able to get thunderbolt working reliably under any newer OS version. If I am wrong, please correct me!
Thanks for the help!
