Hackintosh success

[scobie56]

So i decided to dual boot OS X El Capitan and windows 10, it took about a month to figure out what was causing problems.

first time i tried to install it i kept getting the error "error extracting essentials.pkg" which i soon fixed.

then once OS X was installed i i experienced a load off crashing and the pc kept switching its self off, this was soon fixed by swiping the failing 2.5 inch drive out with a faster and working 3.5inch drive.

installed again i had an issue with the audio, there was a lot of static every time i had the volume past 75% witch was fixed by changing the sound drivers to a voodoo kext rather than a ALC one.

then lastly i used to have OS X on one drive and then MS X on the other one which i liked but this made my boot loader clover crash every time the two drives were connected, and to fix this i had to clear the CMOS, i don't know why but this made the boot loader work. so in the end i have OS X and MS X on the same drive and now every thing works.

specs

intel core i5 4690k @ stock (But will overclock when i get the time to)

ASUS GeForce GTX 970 Strix 

2x4gb hyperx Fury @1866

Gigabyte z97Gaming 5

2 wd 1t blue drives (getting an ssd soon)

Zalman z11 plus

​Corsair CX 600W (changing to a EVGA G2 psu when i get my second 970)

and i also just noticed it looks like my cpu cooler fan is not spinning and also ignore the fact non of my side panels are on

Oh and OS X looks so good in 21:9

Nice cover up of the CX in the picture

I don't think you can give someone a file. 

 

You have to own a Mac of some sort in order to get the files in order to create a bootable USB. 

 

Unless he is willing you ship you the entire physical USB drive ...I don't think it works that way

[The Official Czex]

That's a nice CX 600W you got there...

Macs, to my knowledge...doesn't have support for SLI.

 

Side note: if you haven't already, install the Nvidia web drivers and set those as default.

yh what he said what i did was use trans mac to install Yosemite and then downloaded El Capitan and created a bootable usb and then installed it again onto my new drive

i'm really inspired by this, i have 123/250 gb free on my ssd and 771/931 gb free on my hdd, should i install it on my ssd? or the hdd? because i like osx more than windows for programming and such, but my pc is so much better than my macbook

i do use windows when playing games so the sli thing wont be an issue and i do use the nvidia web driver

macs do support crossfire though? because the mac pro uses two firepro gpus?

don't tell any one

It'd be a shame if it exploded

When is the last time you see Apple use an Nvidia GPU...let alone two in a single machine?

i think you should install it onto the SSD because of dat speed but i would back every thing up on the SSD just in case you run into a problem, i ran into a few.

last gen macbook pro had an nvidia gpu i think..

my school have old mac pro from 2008 and that had duel quad-core Xeons and i think it has an old gt card in (i think it was a 8800 gt)

yh getting rid of it soon but my pc don't use many watts tho any way 

[itsmyjobtoknow]

Last time I checked, they had Intel Iris Pro....Heck even the new MacBook pro are now using AMD GPUS...at least the one I am looking at does. But that is besides the point.

There is a reason why they a

umm never?

edit: oh wait, just put a titan z inside the old huge mac pro

[scobie56]

I've also just seen in cinebench my cpu is seen a a 2 core and 4 thread

Now look at Apple, they haven't used anything from Nvidia recently. I wouldn't be surprised in a few years they create their own CPU & GPU to replace Intel and AMD's GPU
