[SUCCESS/GUIDE] Yosemite 10.10.4 / GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7-4790K / GTX 770 (2 GB) via Clover
This is my first Hackintosh and I'm very happy that for the first time i have Successfully Installed OS X on a PC/CustoMac. Many thanks to everyone who is sharing their experience with the Community, now is my time to share what I've learned and how i did it.
NEWS: The 10.10.5 driver no longer has the Checks in the Distribution File for System Profile. Read More...
UPDATE: I have Successfully update the OS X to the last Version (10.10.5). No kext needed to be patched again.

Finally, after all this work, reading and trying, I have my first Hackintosh Ready . Everything run Smooth, Cool & Quiet. Only issue is with Sleep, but anyway i don't use sleep mode, so... for me is no problem. Also i want to mention that i don't use ACPI Files (DSDT/SSDT) and runs just great without.

(9-Series Motherboard)
(9-Series Motherboard)
- 1. Download OS X Yosemite from App Store
- 2. Follow the setup Instructions (Clover) by tonymacx86: Click
- Note: BIOS Reset by Default. Then I have disabled Intel Graphics, and changing the X.M.P to: Profile1. Everything else as Default, eventually extra changes after installation.
- 3. Install OS X Yosemite
- Note: I have used one of the Attached config.plist from tony's guide for Installation.
- 4. Post-Installation (Specific Kexts) referring to your hardware. (Follow tonymacx86 Guide)
√ What Worked Out of the Box:
- Graphics: nVidia GTX 770
- USB 2.0: all ports
- USB 3.0: all ports
- Monitor USBs: all ports
- Everything else just perfect
Ω What Needed Kexts:
- Audio (ALC1150) Kext & Patch in Clover (Toleda Method): Audio CloverALC
- Network: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200 LAN
- Network: Intel® GbE LAN
X What Doesn't Work:

Fixes_ And Optional Things
Generating Unique UUID, Getting work iMessage & FaceTime Property and add a System Definition for you Machine: Link
Paragon NTFS. Paragon NTFS is available for FREE for those who have a Seagate HDD: Link
Configuring and Installing Nvidia Web Driver (10.10.5): Link
Fix #1: Graphics show 0 MB on “About this Mac” issue:
- Open Clover Configurator > Mount EFI Partition
- Navigate to EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist (Open it)
- Go to Graphics section
- On VRAM Box, set your amount of RAM, available on your GPU, but in MB.
- (For example i have 2GB RAM, so in MB will be 2048)
- Save, restart and Done!
Fix #2: TRIM SSD Activation:
- Before this steps, better check your TRIM Status first.
- If your TRIM is Enabled, then skip this steps.
- To check the TRIM Status > Click "About this Mac" > System Report
- Navigate to the Section: SATA/SATA Express.
- There you should be able to see TRIM Support: YES/NO. If is NO, then follow this steps.
- Download this Software: Link
- Install it and Click Enable TRIM. After restart you can uninstall the Software if you wish, TRIM will remain enabled.
Fix #3: Boot Resolution / Clover Menu / Apple Logo not at the maximum supported resolution:
- Open the Clover EFIv2Bootloader Installer and follow the Instructions:
- Next, Next, then hit Customize
- Go to > Drivers64UEFI and Select > CsmVideoDxe-64
- Note: On some hardware, this may cause Clover to fail to start. It may also be a contributing factor of a kernel panic when waking from sleep. Use with precaution.
- Then hit Install. After the Installation is complete, Restart.
- Enter in BIOS and verify if CSM is Enabled.
- Save and Exit Setup.
- Done! Now your Clover menu / Apple logo on Boot should display properly.
Fix #4: GPU Power Management / Stuck at the Maximum State after opening Applications / States are not Changing:
- First: Make sure that you have enabled nvda_drv=1 in your config.plist (Clover Configurator > Boot section)
- Download the Flat Package Editor (FPE) from Apple Developer Website: Click
- Note: Login Required (Your Apple ID)
- Search for “Auxillary Tools”
- Download the “Auxillary Tools Late July 2012” .dmg
- Mount the .dmg and Right Click to Package Maker to show the package contents
- Browse to /Contents/Resources and copy the “Flat Package Editor” and paste it to Applications
- Open the NVIDIA Web Driver package by using the Flat Package Editor
- Drag the Distribution file to your desktop
- Open the Distribution file using TextEdit
- Scroll down to the line or search the line:
- var system_models = ["MacPro3,1", "MacPro4,1", "MacPro5,1"];
- Add at the end of the line your system definition (my is iMac14,2). Should looks like this:
- var system_models = ["MacPro3,1", "MacPro4,1", "MacPro5,1", "iMac14,2"];
- Note: Make sure that you don't use smart quotes which look like italicised quotation marks.
- Hint: You can disable smart quote from TextEdit>Preferences.
- Save the Distribution.
- Go back to (FPE) and delete the Distribution file from that Window
- Drag the edited Distribution file to the (FPE) Window and save the package
- Done! Run the package and you should be able to Install the NVIDIA Web Driver
