Comments

This is my second Hackintosh build. My first one was ~6 years ago so Clover wasn't around then. I wanted to upgrade my main workstation as well as give Clover a shot

First off, I absolutely love this case. I had found the same exact model on a Chinese website, so I assumed the case was coming from China and wasn't the highest of quality, but I am quite impressed. It's pretty solid, everything works as it should, and it looks sexy.


Installation Notes

Used latest Clover, which at the time was v2.3k_r3259

Anytime I mention "from guide", I am talking about this one: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html


Installation

• Assemble the components
• Disable Secure boot in BIOS
• Create Yosemite Installer USB from guide
• Install Clover onto USB from guide (UEFI booting)
• Added HFSPlus.efi
• Added kexts:
  
  - FakeSMC
  - NullCPUPowerManagement
  - AppleIntelE1000​
• Downloaded Intel-4600 config.plist from the tonymacx86 guide
• Opened up config.plist with Clover Configurator Vibrant and generated SMBIOS information (I used iMac14,2)
• Added config.plist to USB
• Booted with USB and boot flags
  Code:

  -x -v GraphicsEnabler=No

• Went through OS X installation from guide

Post Installation

• Install Clover onto EFI partition from guide (UEFI booting)
• Restart and boot into system drive
• Mount EFI partition using Clover Configurator
• Download https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverALC and run
  Code:

  audio_cloverALC-100.command

  Used for working Audio
• Download https://github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_9series/tree/master/ssdt_hdmi-hd6000+, move the .aml file to
  Code:

  /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml

  Used for working HDMI/Display Port audio
• Restart
• Do happy dance

As far as I know everything is working. Sleep works, audio works, iMessage is working.

I'm not sure about CPU Power Management stuff and C states P states, etc. I have done some surface level research on generating another SSDT, but I haven't tried anything yet. If anyone has some information on how to approach this, or if I even need to use it, much appreciated.

Overall very impressed with Clover. While guides and information about what kexts are needed seemed particularly sparse, I think I was able to get up and running in record time (a few hours).

Thanks, I have the same combo as you, minus the gfx card and worked like a charm. For future builders, keep the clover guide to the point with Tamagokun suggestions.

hi!

I've a problem with audio. I have the same hardware except CPU. I have I7 4790k. Can you help me please?

Beautiful build. I featured you on my Instagram page "hackintoshkings"

Hope that's alright! I think I might use this case for my next build.

Absolutely. Thanks! It's really a beautiful case. I love it, and have it sitting up on my desk next to my monitor.

Did you mount your EFI partition before running the audio command? You should have a realtekALC.kext under /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11/. If not, try running that audio command until it works. When I ran it, all the default answers to the questions it was asking were spot on, so I didn't need to change anything. You might want to double check that it is able to determine the audio codec and other options correctly.
