Hackintosh?

[PolishXlion]

My pc is a 2014 custom build (Specs right below) but I am confused with some things. I have Windows installed right now but I am looking to install MAC OS X. I have an AMD CPU so I am not sure if that is possible. ALso can I install MAC on Windows or do I have to install MAC and later install Windows again? Do I have to own a MAC to do this? I will get an SSD next month, should I wait and install the OS on a different drive than windows? SInce I am at the Windows moment:Can I move WIndows from my HDD to an SSD? Thanks for the responses!

 

Specs:

CPU:AMD FX-4130

MOBO;Gigabyte 990 fxa UD3 (Rev.4)

GPU:MSI Geforce GTX 770 (Planning to OC)

RAM:8 GB (2x4) 1600 MHz Goodram

HDD:1 TB of Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM

CASE:Zalman z11 plus

PSU:BeQuiet! 600 Watt non-modular.

You can't Hackintosh, simply because OS X does not support AMD CPUs.

You can't Hackintosh, simply because OS X does not support AMD CPUs.

There is support now but it is really hard to get everything working.

[TheSLSAMG]

There is support now but it is really hard to get everything working.

But even with a custom kernel, there are huge issues with OS X on an AMD CPU what with all the bugs and such.

You can't make it a hackintosh with an AMD cpu. You might want to try running a virtual machine with OS X inside Windows though, although I don't see the point of doing so.

Dont use amd use intel for a hackintosh, or you will me hell in its face.

It is possible, but it will be buggy, to a point where it is almost unusable. The installation is a pain in the butt, especially if you never did a hackintosh before.

Also, I doubt that OSX will run in a VM.

 

If you try doing a hackintosh, consider switching to Intel, preferably with a Gigabyte motherboard.Those cause less trouble in OSX than the other manufacturers boards.

 

Your graphics will work fine in OSX, so no worries about that.

So just formally for your question, It should be possible to run Hackintosh (OS X) on your machine.

Now the huge BUT, I would not consider you to run Hackintosh on AMD! There are simply too many lags, bugs, issues and lot more that you will need to fix. If you aren't familiar with Hackintosh Systems and it is your first Hackintosh build (what I assume) DONT DO IT!

 

Only thing to consider you, if you want a Hackintosh, Change your MoBo and CPU and try it then (Intel CPU of course)!!!

 

Hope it helped you out a bit

You can do a Hackintosh a lot easier if you sell your AMD parts and buy an i3 or i5. 

[PolishXlion]

I already built this PC and I was hoping to try Mac.

I cannot sell my CPU, maybe in the states you guys do that but NOT in Poland.

 

Thanks everyone!

Not true, some people here have built hackintoshs. Even I am going to.

To be fair, you're not one of the people telling this thread creator that OS X is impossible for AMD.

Are you retarded? Did you not see the post above your own of mine?

 

Seriously people, educate yourselves before you give off misinformation. The hardest part about my hackintosh was making HDMI audio work... and that was because I overlooked a boot flag.

And yes, it was MY FIRST hackintosh attempt.

[EpicGeekonFire]

Its not impossible. Its not worth all the custom drivers you'll have to find since they have so many working drivers for Intel cpus.

Read this and shut up.

So you are an expert? Mhmm

[WyzeGye]

Never claimed to be an expert. Though it's pretty obvious I know more than everybody else that's piped up about it.

 

At least i'm not spouting misinformation.

[kameshss]

It's possible to run a Macintosh in your system, but it hurt your butt a lot!!

you'll face so many bugs, modify kernels like that, install custom Kexts and more!!!

... no, given his setup if he follows the instructions in my thread he'll have a fully operational system in less than an hour.

Sorry I don't agree with you! 

Only If you would read my comment correctly you would see, that I SAID it should be possible!!!!

And believe me, there are a lot of problem that you can front! 

 

And if you would read you throw some forums, you can easily tell, that there are more problems with AMD Hackintoshs!

 

And if you don't agree with me, thats okey, but there is no reason to insult anyone here!!!

This is the part I had a problem with.

 

He has basically the exact same build as me. Different CPU and motherboard, but same chipset and CPU series.  If you haven't done it, keep the comments to yourself. I HAVE HAD ZERO ISSUES WITH IT. Give me something to try to break it. I'm okay with taking the chance of breaking it to prove ignoramuses such as yourself wrong. 

 

I'm telling him it's possible and painless, you're telling him to not bother unless he spends 400 bucks on new hardware. Whos more helpful here?

 

I haven't had an issue running a single program i've tried. Times are changing, seems as though you're just mad your Intel club doesn't have a leg up on hackintosh anymore...

The biggest issue in your post: Mine works, now every other works. 

 

What I think is important to understand, Is that building a well working Hackintosh with PowerManagement and all this stuff is not so easy, whether you choose AMD or Intel. 

 

And yes, for simplicity I would consider to go with an Intel one!

I'm not saying that at all, i'm saying that FX cpus and 900 series chipsets work with no tinkering beyond typing amdfx into the boot options to get into the installer. OP happens to have both. And the only thing more complicated about this particular setup over an intel setup is literally typing those 5 letters.
