[Success] Skylake Pentium G4400 + MSI H100M Pro-VD

[jyummie]

I have successfully built couple builds with help of Unibeast and Multibeast. I am not very familiar with programming but I hope this would help people who would like to build from scrap parts. Therefore, I am not sure whether I can answer any Q's.

1. I have built this one from leftover GT 610, PSU and cases. Trip to Microcenter and good deal have let me to attempt this one.
2. G4400 is cheap (~$50 USD) compared to other processors. This build is mainly for my office work. So, it surely satisfies my need.
3. Being part of Apple Farm, I have been heavily farmed and I have iMessage-addiction...so having dual-booting hackintosh was ideal for me.

Entire idea has came from following post.
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...s-z170m-plus-with-clover-using-pentium-g4500/

However, being a newbie, I opted out to Unibeast (El Capitan Version) w/ 10.11.4 and Multibeast

1. Following the installation guide, I created USB drive w/ Inject Nvidia (for GT 610)
2. Put NullCPUManagement.kext and FakeSMC.kext and RealtekRTL8111.kext under EFI\EFI\Clover\Kexts\10.11 on USB
   
3. Then, open EFI partition --> EFI\Clover\config.plist w/ Clover Configurator.
4. In config.plist, under Graphics, I have made sure Inject Nvidia
5. Put FakeCPUID as following (IvyBridge) w/ Clover Configurator
6. Then follow this steps from above guide,
   

--- I have done everything except nv_disable=1, because w/ GT 610 I don't need it.

5. Install as you would, following guide of Part 3, 4.

6. For Part 5 Post installation, I used following​

7. Then, again open config.plist w/ Clover Configurator to inject FakeCPUID and audio device. I also put Memory DDR4 info too. However, it doesn't get recognized in 10.11.4 after boot (see below)​

8. Audio was difficult to make it run. Even w/ kexts from Multicast, I had to use ssdt method from this guide. I got it working w/ ssdt_hdef-1-100-hdas.aml (It might not be necessary but my audio wasn't working before this step.)

9. So far everything is working for me. I spent more time fixing audio (3-4 hours). Entire build and installation was less than 2 hours.​

I hope this will help someone to utilize scrap parts. I haven't noticed any lagging or freezing so far.

I have a Haswell g3258 pentium working very well in Sierra, have you updated to Sierra?

How do I install the Nvidia drivers and set a custom resolution?
I managed to install Sierra and its working all fine except that the resolution is sucky, and there are graphic glitches all around (im assuming a driver problem?)

Please help me

UPDATE: Sorry for the old build details. Really very sorry.

Please help me

Are you using an AMD CPU? Nvidia released drivers for Sierra, there are two or three versions depending on which sierra you're using.

Go to the home page here and scroll down and select the version of Sierra you are using.

Tried everything. Looked over the entire internet. Cannot find a way to change the resolution that I can understand.
Either theyre too complicated, or they use the 'Graphics Mode' flag (which doesnt seem to work on my system for some reason)

This was on another thread for a g4400. myConfig.plist

check out the boot arguments.
