Hi there everyone.

​

I just ordered the WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe SSD after researching around online and confirming that other Hackintoshers have the exact same SSD working in macOS. I was previously planning on buying the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, but after some research I've found that model to not function properly with macOS. I saw the advice to opt for a 970 EVO Pro instead somewhere either on this forum or another Hackintosh webspace, but I wasn't willing to pay the extra price premium for minimal performance differentiation. Reference below...

​

Samsung 970 EVO Pro 512GB @ $167.99:

- Read: "Up to 3500MBps"

- Write: "Up to 2300MBps"

​

WD Black SN750 500GB @ $104.99:

- Read: "Up to 3470MBps"

- Write: "Up to 2600MBps"

​

TLDR;

As the title suggests, I've ordered my first NVMe SSD and want to move all my existing data over to the new drive once it arrives. I'd like to mirror EXACTLY my current 250GB SATA SSD right over to the 500GB NVMe SSD if possible so that everything is as if nothing changed.

​

How can I do this without data loss? What's the best method?

​

Thank you for reading.

Hi all, I had a perfectly good hackintosh working fine except for one or two issues up until an hour ago when I installed HWMonitor with all options checked in the customise box. This I think, installed a new fakeSMC and now I cannot boot after restart. I get to the clover options, select my boot and see Apple logo for one second before it restarts. Trouble is I cannot figure out out to debug. I don't have the clover config on a usb. I am running i8700k, Asus prime ii z370 mobo, sapphire pulse rx580 8gb graphics, 32gb ram. The reason I wanted HWMonitor is because the fans on the GPU were not running at a min speed and would kick in to high gear all of a sudden being very noisey so wanted to check the temps.

Can I disable some kexts in clover or boot to safe mode or replace my config file?

If you need any more info to help please ask. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is a normal issue with Hackintoshes, but I recently tried using a portable USB DVD drive with my Hackintosh, but it doesn't seem to be seen by the machine. It get power, opens and closes, but when a disc is inserted it doesn't mount and Disk Utility doesn't see it.

Can anyone help with troubleshooting steps to see why this isn't working and how I might be able to get it going?

Thanks!

I keep having issues booting the installer for 10.14.4 and i was told that 10.14.3 and earlier worked just fine with DosDude1's patch. Problem is i cant find any standalone installation media for 10.14.3 or earlier at all. Is there any chance someone can give me a download of theirs or point me somewhere i can download it?

Hi all, I just wanted to make a quick post stating that this WiFi adapter is working on my NUCintosh build with 10.14.4.

​

I downloaded the driver from here: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/tl-wn823n/#Driver

After wiping my hard drive and installing Mojave via clover, I get a panic when trying to boot up.

Boot into my USB > boot macOS install from base system > format HDD as MacOS Extended Journal then install > reboot into USB > boot macOS install from HDD > panic.

I've found very little info about my CPU/iGPU in my searches so that's likely where I'm going wrong. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Got this card as a gift, the Sentey iteration / 2GB DDR5. Did a bit of google-fu and found out it should be possible to get it working with Hackintosh.

I have a Mojave install that works fine, but can't get it to boot with this card.

Could anyone share a basic config for this card (especially the graphics & PCI settings on clover) so I have a quick reference of how it works for other people? Doesn't matter if you are using HS or S or Mojave just want to have a quick look.

Thanks in advance!

Wondering because coding on my laptop is a pain in the ass and my desktop has two monitors but a 980ti

I'm having the same issue as this post and I think it might be a bad either framebuffer, device-id or not properly injecting (or well not injecting) the Intel GFX in the config.plist.

Mobo: Gigabyte Z370M DS3H CPU: i5-8400 GPU: AMD RX 580 Sapphire Nitro + SE

I've set the hackintosh to be an iMac18,3 and it was working great with the AMD and iGPU working side by side until I updated OSX a little bit ago. (Gonna avoid doing that from now on).

I think I would know how to fix it (redo the config.plist) but I don't know how to access the file since the computer isn't booting. I also stupidly don't have a backup (or clone) of the drive (which I will be doing sooner than later).

I am able to boot off of my installer flash drive and run commands through terminal that's available there. I can mount the boot drive and access the EFI partition. Is there a way that I can pull the config.plist off of the computer to edit it? I want to look through all of the settings with the Clover Configurator to make sure I'm not missing something.

Thoughts on how to recover the file or just update it on the machine via the bootable clover flash drive? Or is there another way to boot it to make it work?

I saw a post on r/mac about from a Redditor that seems to have purchased a MacBook Pro that was previously enterprise enrolled and requires activation, presumably based on board/serial and SMC checks.

If this is the case, wouldn't that technically mean one could override this activation process by using Clover Bootloader on a real Mac?

Did I just buy a stolen MacBook Pro?

Hey, i'm planning on building a hackintosh this month for music production - So stability is number one priority.

​

My question to you guys (if you own any of the parts listed below) is to please let me know how your experience has been with them so far.

​

I would also like to know if any of you have experience dual booting Windows on another drive; I've heard it can cause problems and tinker with drives not even associated with Windows..

​

And for other music producers - How has your experience been so far? Im still considering going with Windows but im currently running a Macbook Pro and i would like to able to sync files and projects with no hassle.

​

im using Ableton Live (Using Focusrite Scarlett - Planning on upgrading to UAD Apollo Twin)

​

Thanks in advance!! Comments are highly appreciated!

After fully migrating to High Sierra on the Razer from Mojave on the MacBook Pro, aside from having to rebuild my Photos library over, six months of use has been quite enjoyable.

If NVIDIA ever does come out with drivers for Mojave will give 10.14 a try on the Razer. Otherwise the Razer has been by stable daily driver for doing stuff I used to depend on the MacBook Pro.

I now use the MacBook Pro machines I have without much worry if I loose any data, and end up testing things on those machines before I install non-OS apps to the Razer. Weird, I know.

macOS as 10.13.6 is not a bad final destination if no way to get to 10.14 on the Razer. Add some stuff from the App Store and you are as close to 10.14 as you can get.

I hope Razer continues to make progress with their laptops. Quality and price point and all that. Someday I hope Apple gets closer to what Razer is doing and I might look again at a MacBook Pro. Need ports, expandable storage options, and a good thermal solution. CPU, GPU and storage can all be a stock SKU, just give M.2 options back with some real ports for the "Pro" non-dongle lifestyle that used to be Apple.
