I just built my first Hackintosh. Thanks to this amazing community, installation and setup has been a BREEZE. I remember trying to do this back in 2008 and it was a headache.
Here is my current setup:
-i7 2700k
-16GB Corsair RAM
-XFX 6870 2gb
-Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
-OWC Accelsior 120GB SSD (I learned today that when using both x16 slots, they throttle to x8 )
-Crucial M4 512GB SSD (home folder)
Bought them all from Amazon, and installation and setup was as smooth as butter.
I have a 2010 Mac Pro 6-core with 24GB of RAM and 5870. It has a Geekbench score of 16000+. When I test my new hackintosh, it's getting around 6000... While the machine feels super fast and snappy, I'm curious why I would be getting such a low score? Everything seems set up right, but, I'm curious if there is something else missing. Here are the steps I took:
1. Install from USB drive (download from Mac Store)
2. Boot to Unibeast, install onto OWC SSD
3. Boot again to the USB drive, and finalize OSX install. Run Multibeast and added all of the settings as seen here: viewtopic.php?f=264&t=47830
4. Updated the SSDT as I read it was necessary...installed the i7 overclock (since I'm running 43x in BIOS...4.3ghz and is stable)
Any thoughts? Cinebench is also really low...I would really really appreciate any guidance on this one!
