T2 Chip security and its consequences on building Hackintosh Exteme machine

[hkuser]

I have been anticipating building a hackintosh extreme rig ever since Apple announced the new iMac Pro but I just came across this: http://bgr.com/2017/12/12/imac-pro-t2-chip-secure-enclave/. I am thinking that this chip will prohibit macos from being installed on "unsanctioned" hardware.

Thanks for posting the above article. However, I didn't see anything in the article that would cause concern as your thread title indicates. There's still a lot to learn about the possible impacts of the T-2 chipset. Since hacks don't have the those security devices/hardware and until all supported Macs have that hardware, I'm still not concerned. Chances are, someone in the hackintosh community will find a work around.

In my opinion, there is still hackintosh for a long time.
There are many systems that have yet to maintain now.

With the release of new MacBook Air, we can wait and see how the OS changes..

Graphics Test: Bruce X

Have you tried the iMac Pro SMBIOS? Does it make any difference in GPU usage? I've been thinking of a dual 64 setup VS a Radeon VII. Or maybe just adding a second smaller GPU to the radeon maybe. Just trying to decrease export times since I'm doing a lot of 4K RAW editing. Thoughts? Thanks...
