Thank you everyone for helping me for years on here, this is my third build. i have always used chimera. Thanks Tonymac.

If its your first build, please use tonys guide to create the USB. i used a MacBook Pro to create this.

NEW hardware:

GA x99 UD4 motherboard
i7 5820k 6 core
ddr4 ballistics 16gb
Corsair nepton 120xl
ASUS GTX 780ti

old Hardware:

old 650 watt psu
HAF 912 case
bunch of stock fans
etc.

This is a very lazy writeup because this whole process was the easiest hackintosh for me. i just had to follow the links and buy the exact hardware as Sunny except the video card..

Bob Roche has a great setup guide. I followed it, and my setup was flawless. Thanks Bob. Be sure to format the final drive in the right format per the video during your first boot after installation.

Except the boot flags. with my video card I had to use the following to get into install screen. npci=0x2000 nv_disable=1 -f -x -v .

i did not use verbose mode because its boring. just kidding. You actually don't need it if you have the same config as me i think.


I got this from colton 328. thank you so much!!

Once that's done, you just have to follow this MultiBeast created by Sunny Nath. thanks Sunny. one thing i had to do was edit the /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist. You have to add the following line if you have a similar setup. npci=0x2000 nvda_drv=1 instead of whats in the video for my video card. Also, until you add this after the full installation you will have to use the boot flags until you deit the plist file.

i have the exact setup as sunny except the video card.

Everything works for me including sleep. I don't use WiFi or hand-off. I actually don't even know what is hand-off. I am a basic user. So, the only thing that matters is gaming in windows for which i have a different SSD. On my mac, i use video editing software, Photoshop and LightRoom.

My favorite part of this installation was .......not once did i get kernel panic. loving the system. Thank you all. Feel free to ask me any question as I will be happy to help or direct you the way I know. I will post some pics and videos shortly.
