mobo: MSI H170I Pro

Graphics card: GTX 960

processor: Intel i7 6700K

Above are my current components in my hackintosh build. unfortunately, I am in need of more PCIE slots so that I can add a USBC connection to my computer, and my Motherboard only has only slot, currently occupied by my GPU.

My current OS is High Sierra, my SSD backs up regularly to another drive, and everything runs pretty smoothly so far I just need to know:

1. What are ideal Motherboards for this so I won't need to upgrade for a while?
2. Will I need to go through the whole installation process again?
3. Should I upgrade my processor and GPU while I'm at it?

I recently switched to using WhateverGreen to handle my graphics, which does seem like the way forward for Hackintosh setups. The problem I've run into was that in my previous IntelFixup, Inject Intel setup HDMI out worked just fine. But since making the change it no longer works. As WG is kinda new and I find a lot of builds still use the other methods, I've struggled to find anyone else experiencing this problem in support forums. Most thread tend to be worried about HDMI audio, which isn't a biggie for me since my monitors are just DVI. I cleared a big hurdle yesterday with this build with getting the laptop to genuinely go to sleep using the HD 630, so HDMI out is the next on my hit list.

If anyone wanted to take a look at my build files, they can be found here on GitHub.

I can't seem to find these bad boys anywhere.

Hello guys, So i just built my gaming system,and need to do some dev work in xcode.I tried installing hackintosh.

My system is. : Ryzen 2600 Rx590 sapphire nitro+

So,i tried installing mojave but had problems about randomseed couldnt boot it up. Then i tried the unofficial image of highsierrav3,it installed i followed all steps. When i try to boot it shows black screen.Ati injector is selected,and id of my card is already in configs.

So what should i do to pass blackscreen,is mojave a must ?

Thanks.

Everything works perfectly on this little pc under the latest build of Mojave, however, after waking from sleep, the screen has random flashing (white noise) and, maybe unrelated, my Bluetooth mouse (Apple Magic Mouse 1), will randomly drop.

A restart makes everything happy again.

P.S.

Tried power cycling monitor and pulling HDMI and plugging it back in, to no avail.

I'm able to boot-up fine. I'll turn on my computer, it'll go to the Clover Boot Loader, and then the apple logo will show and the load bar will start. About half-way through the loading process, my monitor will shut off momentarily and then turn back on. Then the system will continue to load macOS as if nothing happened. It's slightly annoying but not the end of the world. If I could fix it though, that would be amazing! Any thoughts on why it could be doing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

So I’m running 10.14.2 on mojave using vg_tab to set the fan speed on the vega. The fans seem to fire up fine and while running luxmark I stay below 75° (usually around 69-72). The problem is the fans never spin back down even when the card returns to 29-32° at idle. Any thoughts?

Looking for recommendations of a laptop to buy and to install Mojave..

Wanted:
15 inch size, (not too big not too small) User replaceable SSD / HD. (Maybe option to have two drives SSD and HD)
Good hardware build quality
Good results when installing Mojave - everything works when I carefully follow the directions of a decent write up to convert machine to a Hackintosh.

Lower priority
-Don't care about cost.
-Not overly concerned about thinness and weight. Apple too much focused on this at expense of repair ability

Most importantly I want to get away from Apple's poor repairability/upgradeability and avoid soldered in SSD drives.

My Hackintosh worked perfectly with High Sierra. I'm trying to update to OS Mojave, so I created a bootable USB and installed clover onto it. Ive made sure ththoat Osxaptio fix and EmuVariable is not deleted; they're in the folder. Clover doesn't seem to see any of my texts, like FakeSMC.kext when I am about to boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been on this for a week now.

Thanks

My specs are as follows I7 4790K Asus Maximus vii formula 16GB 1866mhz ddr3 ram 1TB 850 evo ssd Gtx 980ti

I’ve been trying to use a VM of MacOS to create the boot drive, but anytime I use the clover efi boot loader to get the drive ready the drive unmounts and it fails. Any suggestions would be great

I'm trying to have WHQL enabled on my bios as I dual boot into Windows and I like the boost in boot speed and the proper resolution of the windows logo/clover etc. When I enable WHQL on my bios t causes the defects seen in the video, basically rendering the computer useless until I reboot and turn WHQL off. I'd really like to sort this as it's my last compromise to having a hackintosh and it's a tad annoying!

I have:

​

MSI z270M Mortar

i7 6700k

nVidia GTX 1070ti 8Gb - Web drivers installed

16Gb DDR4

500Gb Sandisk SSD

6th Gen Intel Core I-5-6200u (3m cache, up to 2.8 ghz). 8gb LPDDR3 1866MHz. Intel (R) HD Graphics. 256gb solid state drive. 13.3 inch qhd. I have stock WiFi card in right now so I can still use my computer until I get this fixed. But I have a DW1560 ready to go when needed.

BIOS: Disable secure boot. Disable v/t for direct I/o. Auto os Recovery threshold to off. Set data operations to disabled.

I ordered a usb Mac OS Sierra online. I installed clover to the usb UEFI (usb was put into gpt) I mounted EFI Partition and replaced the clover file with the guide that I’m following of the same computer model. Dell xps 13 9350.

Guide I’m following: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-dell-xps-13-9350-macos-10-12-1.204730/

When I load into clover I click on Mac OS installer and I get a black screen with white circle through it. Kinda losing hope here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I've found a really cheap miniPC and I just want to know if i can install Mojave on there.

Thanks.

Hello, all—I posted this in TonyMac and got banned. :( I used the vanilla install method and didn't realize I couldn't ask for support there for non-TonyMac install methods. I thought if I posted the clover settings that I used, it'd be enough. Anyway, I'll move my discussion here, typing it all out again. :)

Configuration and Kexts used for installer

Clover Setup

I followed the Vanilla installation guide here.

USB Clover Bootloader

• AptioMemoryFix
• HFSPlus.efi
• ApfsDriverLoader (Basically, I followed everything here: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackintosh-vanilla-desktop-guide/clover-setup)

Kexts

• AppleALC.kext
• IntelMausiEthernet.kext
• Lilu.kext
• USBInjectAll.kext
• VirtualSMC.kext
• WhateverGreen.kext (it's included, but I don't know if I actually needed it since I don't have a dedicated GPU)

Installation

The installation went really well. It completed without issue. The end result was that I could boot into Mac OS from the main SSD while using Clover Bootloader (USB). The issues that I encountered weren't catastrophic, but they did make Mac OS unusable:

• Graphics The graphics were jittery and would sometimes freeze and lag for several seconds.
• Audio The audio wasn't recognized at all.
• Wired Ethernet Network This one was odd and hinders me from doing any google-fu from the Hackintosh itself. The network will work fine for brief moments, then it will slow to a halt, not allowing anything more than a crawl. A download won't complete, a speedtest will not complete, basic web browsing takes several minutes to load a page. Oddly, the system tools like iCloud Photos seemed to work okay—it was downloading photos without issue. That may have just been my imagination, but I monitored activity monitor and Photos was using the network fine. That being said, even pausing Photos network activity, I couldn't browse like normal.

What I've tried So, plainly, I don't really know where to go from here, which is why I'm asking for help. :) The vanilla guide that I linked to doesn't explain what to do after initial installation, which I am guessing the next step is to modify the EFI partition on the main hard drive so that it can boot from there as well as resolve the issues I'm seeing. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

While install omg my screen goes black and says. Deferred spawn of service 5 input output error. I’m trying to install Mojave’s please help

Hi guys,

Without getting into the details too much in my system I wanted to ask the community if they might know the answer, or if it's a quick fix. I had a stable system running of High Sierra on a separate HD, and then I decided to add another drive and give the dual boot system a try. I got my Windows 10 install going on a separate HD from the mac OS - but I forgot to disconnect my Mac OS HD during installation and my clover bootloader is gone. I can't get back into the mac - i tried physically disconnecting the drive the windows was installed on, and I also tried a bunch of different bios options.

Is there a quick fix for this? Or do I start completely over? And if I start completely over does anyone know where to find High Sierra? It's not in the app store anymore - it's mojave. Or if you need more information about my system - I guess I can figure that out. lol
