I successfully set up a new Hackintosh after years of using Apple products and want to share my experience with you.
I cloned my iMac 10.11.6 system with Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to an SSD, put it in my PC and used UniBeast with Clover and with FakeCPUID to boot up. After it booted, I used MultiBeast with Intel network drivers and set up the Intel Hd630 graphics. Sound is irrelevant since I use an audio interface.
I experimented a little bit getting the 1080TI to run but with only 1280px. Installed the NVIDIA Web drivers without success though other users reported it worked for them with a 1070 e.g. HD630 runs smooth at 2560px and with 144fps.
Thunderbolt worked right out of the box with my Apollo Twin MKII yesterday. But this morning it wouldn't start up, even after starting windows first and using the Apollo. ***FIXED*** I had to use my old Networkinterfaces.plist where thunderbolt was integrated though you couldn't see it in system settings.
And one problem still is iMessage and iCloud of course. I got iPhoto running and syncing with my iCloud by using a higher plan and downgraded instantly via iCloud settings. But iMessage won't work for me. Tried several tutorials already setting up Serials and System ID. Maybe somebody has a tip for me regarding this.
One last thing is the USB connectivity. After starting up it takes like a few minutes to have the inputs lag free. Tried with apple keyboards, different ports etc. already.
I will try to collect all tutorials I used to get here and post them in a few days probably when I have some time to spare.
So my next tasks are:
- iMessage login problem
- USB lag fix after boot
- getting the 1080ti to run without having to change cables to hd630
Any Tipps appreciated.
If you have any questions regarding the build please let me know and I will try to help wherever I can.
