- i9 9900K(+Silentium Fera3)
- Gigabyte Aorus Z390 PRO WIFI
- Crucial 3200Mhz 16Gb kit
- Samsung EVO970 NVMe 500SSD
- Temporary Radeon X470 8Gb
- Almost Retina qHD BenQ EX2780Q 27"
- cheap shitty case, cheap shitty kbd, G400S mouse
- Buckets of sweat while putting it together, 1 bottle of wine to celebrate(now empty)...
- to be bought: better case, better keyboard, Vega graphics...
Anyone knows what to do after installation? How to polish the system?
Hello community. I ve been dreaming of this Hackintosh for quite some time. I managed to put it together and make it work. I used Dortania guide but some things did not work for me. I used Cris Titus Hackintosh video on youtube to guide me - to make me visualize the whole process a bit better. I think I made some mistakes in Linux live environment so I made my USB boot recovery key in Windows instead and it worked.
It downloaded Success' href='/2020/12/install-macos-catalina-on-supported-pc.html'>Catalina on its own(ethernet worked).
I am now in the stage of celebrating - thus the wine. I did not do any after installation polishing - some say you should open Clover or OpenCore to finish some things(I dont know which...)
But I managed to make it boot from the harddrive. iMessage works fine, iClould works fine. I think Sleep works but when I put it into sleep and went for a walk, then I came back, my fakeMac was ON - so I dont know yet... (to be tested).
However, MY SOUND WORKS ONLY FROM HDMI. I cant control it from my keyboard. I still need to buy a WiFi card and Bluetooth module to make AirDrop work.
Cinebench score is 4958pts. I think it is okay. I do not aspire on hardcore overclocking, however, I might buy a better fan(or water) and kick it a bit. I really do not know if it is fast in LightRoomClassic but I think it is. I, however, tested it to put it some 144Mpx panorama together and it took hell of a time :-D
I adore the BenQ monitor - the speakers are so okay :-D And the picture quality is pretty fine. I am angry cuz of the IPS bleed but I did not have enough budget to buy a really good one for content creation.
Good luck on your journey to a Success ful installation of Hackintosh!
