For now what I have:

Booting OSX
usb - ok
card reader - ok
video - no video acceleration - if I activate Nvidia web driver I have no display at all (honestly I don't care about the hd 530, this is a desktop, no power issue, I want the 1060 only)
bluetooth - ok
wifi - for now via USB adapter ok - (if I succeed with video acceleration I will invest in an apple wifi card and mini pci adapter)
sound - via bt speaker ok - (via hdmi no sound)

Here I am. I'm very new to this, so I am very keen to listen to any advice .

I started to use Clover 2.4 and Mac OS Sierra usb installer but I switched to multibeast after looking for it but i don't know what i can and cannot do really

thanks!

@lilins, please update your profile (personal details) with your build (Motherboard or Model, CPU and Graphics Card).

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

 

[lilins]

Sorry and thanks, i've done it, i really need help on the graphic support!

 

[lilins]

Here is my progress:

What works:

Boot ok

Clover decently configured with OSS theme

Mac OS booting

GTX1060 recognized

Imessage and facetime running, icloud and stores login ok

4k 60hz ok, HiDPI ok

Usb and chipset seems ok.

Serial setup ok (goung though idiot's guide to imessage was a must!)

What is half working:

Bluetooth working - no handoff

Sound - no hdmi or dp sound, no jack sound. Only BT or USB sound

What is not working:

Sd card reader

Wifi (using dlink dwa dongle)

What is planned:

Buying dell 1560 wifi/bt card wor osx recognize wifi/bt. Hoping handoff

Buying new webcam for full hd

Trying to fix hdmi audio (i need help as none of the guide i followed seemed to get me some improvment!)

It seems sd card reader on intel 100 series chipset is a no go, i can leave with that!

Now, please, i need some help to finish this! thanks

 

[Sheerkhan]

Sorry I cannot help but I am also very interested in buying a Zotac Magnus 1070 and really would like to make a nice little silent Hackintosh...keep us posted about your progress and hopefully we can figure it out!
I will start a thread once I work on mine...

Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Sheerkhan

[Mactinos]

Hi lilins

I'm using EN1060 and EN1070 too. Can you help me to install Sierra on those thing? I'm a very very fresh here.

I tried to follow this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ierra-on-any-supported-intel-based-pc.200564/ by using Unibeast, but it stuck on this screen (even tried with -x, -v)

 

[BreBo]

@Mactinos, please update your profile (personal details) with your build (Motherboard or Model, CPU and Graphics Card).

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

At Clover Boot Screen select Options > PCI devices > USB Ownership and USB Injection

Check Inject USB + FixOwnership in Clovers config.plist

        <key>USB</key>
        <dict>
            <key>FixOwnership</key>
            <true/>
            <key>Inject</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>

 

[lilins]

@Mactinos sorry for delay! I can help you but i am still stuck on audsome other things i'll get all the info and tell you during week end.

@BreBo thanks for the tips

 

[Mactinos]

Thanks @BreBo , it works like a charm <3

@lilins Can't wait for it
