I build this Slim PC for Windows 7, somewhere down the line Mac Bug bit me, I wanted to convert into Hackintosh.
So I swapped out Intel Dual Band AC Wifi+BT for Broadcom BCM4352 Wifi+BT card.

Also I bought the Samsung SM951 AHCI M.2 PCI SSD, Please Use the exact Part Number Specified in the Components List.

Very cool! you're one of the first rx 560 builds I can find anywhere.

Any info about getting it to work and the performance? Was it plug and play? Thank you!
 
What BIOS VERSION does your motherboard have?
 
Can you be more specific, about how you made RX 560 work? Because i didn't see anyone to bring XFX RX 460/560 to work with MacOs from the beginning. Does it even work, or you just made a click-bait?

I don't have to "click-bait" in this forum.... Anyways I had a trouble of continuous reboot with XFX card (as mentioned in Post#3). so I have returned the card and purchased HP RX580 4Gb from used market as mentioned in this post....

My question is...where are you installing this? On the EFI Partition of the USB Drive you created?

If you get a black screen at boot how are you supposed to make any kind of trouble shooting happen?
