Thermals/Fan Speeds?

Hi! I was running a game while screen-recording the other day, just as a test. The performance was terrible. I later realized that my fans weren't revving up, and temperature sensing programs had false thermals for both my CPU and GPU. Is there any way that I can get my system to detect the correct temperatures so that it can keep them cool?

Can't get any port to open with my GA-Z68XP-UD3 ethernet.

My macbook died, so I brought my work pc (hackintosh) home from the office. Both of these are on El Capitan, used NordVPN, and were on routers set up by me.

What I don't understand is, why the "port is closed" on the hackintosh at home. Transmission worked fine on my macbook on the same network, Yet the hackintosh can't connect to anything.

I'm curious if it has to do with the wrong device id? maybe need to edit the DTST line? I was having trouble getting my ethernet recognized at first, so I think it's possible I don't have the exact id.

Build Question

Thank you in advance!
My current equipment: -CPU:Ryzen 5 1500x -Mobo: ASRock AB350 Pro 4 -Case: G5

As I start to plan my build, I am currently looking at a good yet affordable video card. I do not game and just plan on using it for everyday use and light photoshopping. Any recommendations on good/ affordable video cards that would suit my needs.

Thank you!

Need a Little Bit of Help

Hey Everyone,

Before I start here is my PC

i5 4590

GTX 970

TL-Wn881ND

ASROCK Z97 Anniversary

8GB Ram

Ok so for the past year and a half I have (had) been running a Duel-Boot system of Windows 10 and El Capitan on the same drive no issues whatsoever. Yesterday night though by mistake I fucking quick-formatted the Mac Partition from Windows :/ .

Luckily, my Clover bootloader is there but now I need to reinstall OSX/MacOs and since I am going to be starting fresh I was woundering if I should go ahead and install High Sierra or regular Sierra. Also, would my bootloader cause any issues or would it work fine?

Thanks!

Compatibility of Current Desktop?

Edit: a word

Hey everyone, I have a desktop I built about a year ago, and am wondering how compatible it would be with MacOS Sierra (or High Sierra).

The main specs are:

Motherboard: MSI H110M ECO (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130910)

CPU: Intel i3-6100 (Skylake) (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=2MN-0004-00002)

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 470 (N/A) Wireless card: TP-Link AC1900 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TQEX7AQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I've done some research, and it appears that the Motherboard and CPU are supported out of the box, but the graphics card had mixed results.

Dumb question, but if it all is compatible, do I just follow the Vanilla guide in the sidebar? Would I need any special kexts not mentioned, especially for the graphics card?

Thanks!

Optical out support?

Hi, I’ve just bought an external dac to listen to some music. I want to connect the dac to the optical out from my hackintosh preferably.

I’ve a Z87-UD3H and I’m using clover. Can I use the optical out or do I need some patch to make it work?

I only need 2.0 audio, no 5.1 etc. It’s just for listening to music.

I prefer to use optical out to usb. I know it will work with usb.

[Question] Best WIFI USB for Sierra & Above

Hello,

My Hackintosh laptop is nearly complete! I've got Sierra booted and running stable on my laptop. Ethernet is working but I want to get WIFI working as well.

Could anyone suggest a WIFI USB that is working, I've seen some around but read mixed things.

Also, is it worth replacing the WIFI card on my laptop? I've seen some people have done this. My laptop is an Acer Aspire V5 571 is that's any help.

Thanks

Has anyone bumped into any article or video of a threadripper hackintosh vs an imac pro?

It would be super interesting to see benchmarks of a similar configuration, except, of course, the xeon vs the threadripper under macOS.

High Sierra installed, but few issues.

OS: High Sierra w/ APFS
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7
CPU: i7 4790k
GPU: MSI R9 390x gaming 8gb

Issues:

  • Audio not working have AppleACL.kext installed.
  • Restart with clover bootloader usb shows the usb installer, filevault prebooter, macos install prebooter, macOS, and boot recovery. It does not show my Windows 10 installation on my other SSD.
  • Restart without usb plugged in doesn't have a bootload menu at all. How do I get a clover menu to show me the option of booting from macOS or Windows (seperate sdd's)?
  • iMessage doesn't work

Any other common issues I should look for?

Now I can’t even get back to the bios to switch to my gtx 680s. Any way I can reset the bios or switch default gpus without seeing the menus?

Dell Latitude 6330 with macOS Sierra?

Just wondering if this has been done yet. Most of the tutorials I'm finding (if you can call them tutorials) are for much older OS like Mountain Lion or Mavericks. I recently got my Hackintosh tower up and running (Ryzen 3 1200 and GTX 970), but I've always wanted to get my Latitude running Sierra as well, or at least El Capitan. Anyone have success trying this, or any pointers on where to start?

Help Deciding if a Hackintosh Would Be better for me?

I am looking at either trading up to a newer MacBook Pro (15”) or an iMac (27”) to replace my mid 2015 MacBook Pro (13”). I use my current MacBook for everything from developing games and programming to basic content viewing. I would like a little more power and something I could use to power a 34” Ultra widescreen monitor for programming. My first instinct was a newer MacBook pro that I could leave docked until I wanted to go portable, how ever I feel like getting a hackintosh would be way better bang for the buck and would suit me better as I could keep my current MacBook pro for when I needed to go portable. My question is, what would be the best budget friendly hackintosh build that would get me at least 16GBs RAM and preferably an i7. I would also need a decent graphics card as I do a hood chunk of game design in 3D using Unity and Blender/Maya. I’d love to stay around the $1000 max range, but would be willing to put more aside for it. Also, I would definitely like a build that has the most compatibility with getting iMessage and other features working.

Vanilla Install High Sierra & Time Machine Question

I am going to retry my High Sierra Hackintosh install, follow the Vanilla method this time, but before doing so I wanted to ask about Time Machine. My current High Sierra installation was using the Multibeast + Unibeast method, and I am now worried that since Time Machine already created a backup, it had to have backed up the things Multibeast and Unibeast performed, correct? For instance, when I installed High Sierra, Time Machine was able to restore old themes I had running on El Capitan's clover boot screen. Is there any way I can perhaps go in and clean up the MultiBeast+UniBeast stuff from my Time Machine restore to truly make it a "vanilla" restore? Or perhaps another method to currently backup my existing data before I start the entire fresh install?

One final question: Would the "fresh install" listed on hackintosher.com suffice for a "vanilla" install? Also, is it worthwhile to jump the ship on High Sierra in general? Or should upgrading to Sierra, and perhaps waiting ~6-12 months then upgrade to High Sierra be better?

System Specs:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H
  • CPU: i5-4590, Intel HD 4600
  • GPU: Saphire Radeon HD 7950
  • RAM: 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Clover won't recognize installation media on flash drive!

My build: Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI i5 7600K Gigabyte 1050 ti

I have tried many, many different methods and at this point, the most promising seems to be Corpnewt's guide. I have followed through, trying to install High Sierra. I manage to boot up to Clover but there is no "external" drive displayed, in fact there is none.

I have tried another method where instead of using the terminal to put the installation media on the flash drive, I use the High Sierra patcher to make the larger partition have the install app on it.

This method worked, I got it to install, but when I checked the HDD I installed it on (140GB 7200RPM drive) had no EFI partition, and no matter what I tried I couldn't manually create one myself.

I've exhausted all of my knowledge and everything else I've found on the internet so far...please help!

Apple Begins Offering $29 Battery Replacements Today



Apple has begun offering $29 battery replacements as promised. The company issued the following statement to TechCrunch:

“We expected to need more time to be ready but we are happy to offer our customers the lower pricing right away. Initial supplies of some replacement batteries may be limited.”

Apple announced it would be dropping the price of battery replacements from $79 to $29 after it was discovered that iPhones were being secretly slowed down as their batteries aged. Apple touts the slowdown as a feature but it was put in place to avoid unexpected shutdowns on the iPhone 6s; something that doesn't appear to have occurred as commonly with earlier generation devices.
