Hi all,

So I am thinking of abandoning my X99 system as it is just causing way too many problems for what it's worth. My main workload is FCP X, Photoshop CC, Lightroom and a crap load of Chrome tabs. I plan on migrating almost everything to the new system excluding Mobo/CPU. So the question would be, wait for Z370, i7-8700k to be supported or go with a Z270, i7-7700k now?

Thanks!
 
Hey joshua, same question here:
wait for z370 - i5 8600k with windows as OS, or go straight to hackintosh Z270 i7-7700k?

Are there any echoes if Z370 will be supported? Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, Media Encoder...
Thanks anyone!
 
Looking around over on the user builds section shows a few people that have working hackintoshs on Coffee Lake using FakeCPU ID in clover, considering that the Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake system architecture are nearly identical. Seems like it would work for the time being until Apple officially releases an update to support it. But there defiantly is a price for the new systems that should be taking into consideration, almost a $200 delta in parts compared to Kaby Lake.

Are there any echoes if Z370 will be supported? Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, Media Encoder...
Thanks anyone!
