@JCMunsonII Yes, sir.

Very good build description. <blush>Thank you for the kind words on MyHero build description.</blush>

Welcome to the HERO Club!

I got it to run and installed OS. But now after I installed the kext via KextBeast, it won't start up. Once it goes to the Apple logo and the progress bar, it just restarts to the BIOS. Please help.

You'll need to post in the relevant forum as the error received here is not something I encountered, nor is your build similar enough to mine for me to even try and be helpful.

For El Capitan, post here. For Sierra post here. Remember to post the relevant files, as stipulated near the bottom of the OP of this thread, in the "Problem Reporting" section.

You might also try searching the web based on the last lines of your verbose boot output (which, btw, is very hard to read - I cannot even hazard a guess as to the last few lines).

Awesome Hackintosh! Do you use it for gaming?

Thank you.

Not generally - mostly this is for work-related items and digital artwork of several varieties. I'm going to give Sword Coast Legends a try to see how it performs though.

In case your wondering what Geekbench reports when you push her to her limits this is 5.1GHz & 3600Mhz ram

P.S unless i'm gaming which with the 1080 Ti SC2 card The Witcher runs 40fps easy at 4k i actually run my machine with turboboost off and underclocked to 3.9GHz, In that config, My ML140 and ML120 fans spin at 750rpm and no temp sensors go over 40C and obviously the thing is silent as can be

Nice benchmarks. Oddly, I can't run the graphics test as Geekbench states it isn't the only program running. I'm not sure which program is interfering though...

As for gaming, I really don't do too much of that at all - I got bored with the similar gameplay & end result, and I no longer appreciate the "violence" that's prevalent today.

 

[nimernimer]

same boat here in relation to the lack of GPU test in geekbench but cinebench says which is not bad as the Titan XP on the front page is scoring 111

And truth be told 90% of my gaming is CMANO which could probably happily run on the I-GPU

If you havnt done so i strongly suggest implementing this. It went off without a hitch

P.S I came from your step 16 or something similar.....

[*]Also, implemented this SSDT

Edit for exactness I used this SSDT PREVIOUSLY - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/skylake-hwp-enable.214915/

I´ll definitely try this, my specs are similar to yours, except I got a Maximus IX Code, 16gb tridentz rgb and a gtx 1080.
