Posted October 2, 2014 Author Paranoid? What for? I've never taken a motherboard apart before. I've always left them alone... The SB core is very small and delidded, so very easy to damage. I had also not ran this RAM in this set up yet either... You gotta remember dude, everything was stripped down to absolutely nothing and quite heavily modded. One little slip or one screw done up too tight and it's game over. Still, at least I know she fires. Braiding the PSU shouldn't change anything so fingers crossed it will all work at the end. Edit. I also wasn't sure about the cooler contacting properly. I made it remember? it was never intended to be ran on this socket.. Just did some bios digging and thankfully the CPU fan is fully controllable so I have it set to silent. Phew x2. You should have heard the bloody thing roar before I changed it ! Area 51 2014.

Posted October 2, 2014 Author Looking awesome so far. Try using Niresh Mavericks as ive found that it works out of the box Couple of questions if I may. This is to Nicholas too... Am I going to need a MAC to build the bootable USB installer? and if so, can I do it with Leopard? Ed. NVM I think I have everything I need? So far I've got the Nvidia drivers, Multibeast Mavericks ed 6.5.0 and am downloading Niresh 10.9 ISO. I also grabbed Windows Disk Imager, so I should be able to attempt to build a USB stick with that lot. Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram.

Posted October 2, 2014 Author Gigabyte X79 UD3 with a Xeon 8 core.. It works on the UP4, Linus did one. The UD3 is identical it's just lesser specced on USB and phases. Area 51 2014.

You will need a Mac or a VM of OS X, Retail 10.9, Multibeast, unibeast, KextBeast. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 3, 2014 Author Oops. forgot all about this lol. Today I decided to tidy up the bits and bobs. Everything was in a bit of a mess.. Any way, allow me to introduce you to Mr Skull. This part actually took me about an hour. What I did was stuck it down and then used the Dremel to carve around the edges. So that's my light blank. I've polished the edges since but the sun has gone in. Here is how they fit. They're now setting, so I got on with this. Mark. And... As I say, glue setting so that's it for now but this will become the centre piece of the front of the case. 5 white LEDs Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram.

Posted October 3, 2014 Author I'm really digging mr skull I originally bought him for the BPM. But it didn't look right in chrome for that so I was meaning to order a black one but BPM has gone on the backburner for a bit. Should look rather B.A when lit up Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz.

Posted October 3, 2014 Author Yo, sorry I am at LAN. You will need a Mac or a VM of OS X, Retail 10.9, Multibeast, unibeast, KextBeast. Right, going back to this... So yesterday I found this guide.. http://www.macbreaker.com/2014/01/install-osx-mavericks-on-pc-with-niresh.html I managed to find the Niresh ISO and have now built that using the disk imager in the link... So, that's it right? I boot from that, install it and then I install Multibeast, the X79 kexts and so on? is that all there is? or am I missing something? The time is becoming nigh Mr Nicholas.....

Posted October 4, 2014 Author Okay, I just woke up Yup, pretty simple to setup a Hackintosh if you know what files you need. I need a specific shopping list now dude. And I need orders to install things too. Though tbh? I don't mind effing it up and doing it a few times as I like to learn. Good news. Both the paracord and the last of the acrylic arrived this morning. So that's pretty much everything I need to complete the build... Scary ! Mr Skull is now complete with the LEDs fitted and tested. Am very happy with him, looks very clean and professional but will save him for a bit later Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram. AMD Fury X.Asus RAIDR.OCZ ARC 480gb SSD.

I haven't use the niresh model before but I will do a little bit of research now to see what needs to be done, if it is want I think it will be I should have it ready in around 20mins Tops. Edit: I would still prefer that we use a Retail image of Mavericks because I know how to use it but I will look.

Posted October 5, 2014 Author Quick update. Last night I began the build. First thing I noticed was - 1. Oh crap, hardly any room for cables. 2. The PSU shroud fouls the fan connector and power/reset buttons when they are fitted. 2 - not a problem, I'll simply trim the shroud. 1 - not sure if the side panel is going to go back on. Might call for drastic measures..... Edit. I will crack on later this afternoon after the football.. Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram.
