HELP Building a Powerful / Quiet Hackintosh
Image
Hello all, I'm a narrator and I'm looking to upgrade my current MacBook Pro into a Hackintosh for audio editing (also able to play games as well if possible.) My goal here is to find something essentially extremely quiet (my current mac gets up to 4000 RPM's while recording sometimes), that can run Adobe Audition or Pro Tools recording for multiple hours. I use an Apollo and my space is completely acoustically treated, it's much more comfortable than an isolation booth and why I'd rather invest in the best unit to allow me to move to and from my work stations as quickly as possible, as my acoustics are pretty much perfect. Unfortunately, that means keeping the unit in the same room (since there is only one room). I know Bequiet Fans are an option as well as Fractal Define Case but would love help on other options as well as the CPU, GPU, Motherboard, etc. Can anyone provide suggestions with various price points involved (Middle of the road and more Expensive). I...
Does anyone else feel like they shouldn't use Hackintosh as their main setup? (Unwarranted concern/feeling) What are the long term cons of Ryzentosh?
Image
This might sound a bit strange, so I'll preface this by saying that. I have Windows on my main computer (3900x / 5700xt) and dual booted with Catalina (OC). MacOS feels smooth and runs super well! Everything works except handoff , airdrop etc; (I don't have Wifi Card installed). But I can't help but feel I shouldn't dive in and use the hackintosh as my main OS due to it not being "official". I guess the feeling comes as if I won't have the full performance or something, I'm not sure. Or as if there is a downside I am not seeing yet, I just stay away from using it as a main OS. As strange as this may be, I guess I wanted to ask, is there any long term (or short term) cons or annoyances to stop me from using it as the main OS? Should I dive in and be happy with it as I much prefer MacOS (I have Macbook, ATV, iPad Pro, iPhone, Apple Watch etc;). I am using AMD 3900X although it seems to work flawlessly in regular use (haven't really tested performa...

[Question] Can I install MacOS to a bootable USB

I currently have a hackintosh MacOS Mojave on an old clunker pc setup in my shed, so every time I’d like to jailbreak my phone/iPad I have to go all the way out there and boot it up. I was wondering if I’d be able to get a working OS on a USB I could use on my setup inside and could carry it with me. Thanks in advance and sorry about my stupidity, I’m new to hackintosh so I don’t quite know the do’s or dont’s. submitted by /u/seth_norton2000 [link] [comments] [► Source]
Question about booting hackintosh drive from a real mac
Image
I apologize if this is more clearly spelled out somewhere online and I just didn't find it, but I'm wondering the following: If I create a clone of a hackintosh drive (using CCC or something similar), and remove any EFI folder from the clone, can I safely boot this from a real mac? From what I've read, the answer is yes, but I'm hoping to confirm that, as the posts I found are sort of old. There are some mentions of bricking a system if this isn't done properly, and that would be not so great... If the above is possible, is it really just as simple as deleting the EFI partition from the hack drive, and plugging it into any mac (compatible with the os installed on the drive), or are there other checks or things to do to make sure the real mac won't be bricked? In case it's helpful, I'm running Mojave 10.14.6 using OpenCore 0.5.9, with the following hardware: Gigabyte Vision D z490 Core i7-10700k iMac 19,1 My sense is as long as I remove all trac...

Laptop always gets a bit warm in macOS
Image
As the title says, my laptop gets quite warm in macOS, to the point that it's uncomfortable to touch. From what I understand, this happens because the fans get "limited" (i.e. they don't get allowed to spin at the speed they spin at in Windows). The fans are quiet in macOS, too. If my laptop gets very lot, then they'll spin faster ("normally"). Any way to fix this? submitted by /u/nippleSucker22 [link] [comments] [► Source]

Gutting an old build for a new build and questions/recommendations for AMD.
Image
So I'm currently running a hybrid Mac/windows machine thanks to this sub and I'm looking to upgrade it to an AMD machine for better performance with video editing in Premiere and After Effects. My current setup is an i5 6500, H110I Pro board, 16 GB of 2133 DDR4 RAM, and a Radeon RX 480 8 GB video card. I'm also running 2 27" 4k Acer monitors. I'm planning on keeping the video card because I'm not having any performance issues there and I'm trying to save some money. I think I'll bump the RAM up to 32 and maybe 64 down the road and I'm looking for more cores in the CPU than the 4 on the i5 I have now. I mostly use this for video work and some light gaming (on Windows). I'm not doing super heavy lifting in video editing (mostly just short films shot in 4k RAW and very occasionally 6k), and when I need really big stuff done it usually gets shipped out to someone else. I do work with basic correction and some light grading and need to be able to ...
Easy way to copy your Big Sur image from Parallels or VMware!
Image
I used this article to install Big Sure in both Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion! There were two techniques given for Parallels. I tried them both. The second technique was easier and less hassle. After fiddling with the tricks I could find to copy the Virtual images to USB drives, I fell upon this little secret! QMEU! Yes! It's so easy! Install QMEU: brew install qemu Yep! That's it! Now you've got the great little utility qemu-img ! For VMware Fusion find your Virtual Disk.vmdk file (My thumb drive was disk4): diskutil umountDisk disk4 qemu-img convert ~/Virtual\ Machines.localized/Path/To/Virtual\ Disk.vmdk -O raw /dev/disk4 And for Parallels Desktop find your hds file hidden within your hdd package: diskutil umountDisk disk4 sudo qemu-img convert ~/Parallels/macOS 11.0.pvm/macos.hdd/macos.hdd.0.\{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41\}.hds -O raw /dev/disk4 This technique does leave unused space after the image on your drive.

PS\2 Trackpad Issues (Possibly DSDT), No USB Signal, No Ethernet, Blacklisted Wi-Fi Chip
Image
Martin Luther's got nothing on me... Specs: General - Toshiba Satellite C655-S5514 Laptop with stock V000225020 board and Sandy Bridge chipset CPU - Intel Pentium B960 2.2GHz Sandy Bridge on 988B rPGA GPU - Intel HD Graphics 8086:106 Install method - OpenCore 0.5.9 on USB with DuetPkg UEFI emulation The system boots fine (better than expected) with DuetPkg into OpenCore, and easily loads the macOS recovery image. I quickly found I couldn't click anything, but I was able to move my cursor, and all keys worked (Tested in Terminal after learning a lot of keyboard shortcuts). My laptop uses a Synaptic PS/2 Port TouchPad with mouse buttons that interface with buttons directly on the board itself, separating it into two different units. For this reason, I think that the "click" buttons are on a different bus than the trackpad itself and therefore are not being read. This is further supported by the fact that I couldn't find the GPIO device mentioned here in my...

External Display Not Working with NVIDIA GPU on OpenCore
Image
Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN515-51 Laptop CPU: Kaby Lake 7th Generation Intel i5 Quad-Core 2.5GHz GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 GDDR5 4GB VRAM RAM: DDR4 12GB SDRAM OS: High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G13035) I currently have a working High Sierra OpenCore drive. Everything seems to be working on this laptop except the HDMI port to my external display. On this model, the HDMI port is connected to the dGPU and not the iGPU. The internal display works fine obviously, since it's connected to the iGPU. I believe my laptop uses Optimus technology which I heard is unsupported in hackintoshes, but if there were a way to just turn off the iGPU and force myself to only use the external display (and so only dGPU), I'd be fine with that (although such a setting is not available in my BIOS). I was curious if anyone could help me with getting this HDMI port to work with my Nvidia GPU. I've installed the correct web drivers and CUDA drivers, and it is being detected in the System Report, although i...

Need help with installing

So I was going to do a Mojave install on Dell and I had created a Catalina VM to do so. I installed clover to the EFI partition and used "createinstallmedia" from the terminal to create a bootable installer but booting into clover it does not even show the Install macOS Mojave partition. So should I take the files out of the installer and then boot or what? I was using this guide that was specific to my laptop.

Z490 Motherboard Selection

Hi all, I'm planning on building a "budget" hackintosh with a i9-10900K (if I can manage to get one..) but I'm concerned about my motherboard selection—I was planning on getting one of the following, all for 160$: MSI Z490-A PRO ASUS Prime Z490-P GIGABYTE Z490 Gaming X Reading through the subreddit, however, I've seen that some Z490 motherboards have issues (specifically dortania saying ASUS and Gigabyte Z390 boards can be problematic) but almost every successful build goes for the Gigabyte Z490 Vision G or D (for 200$ and 300$ respectively). I'm looking for as painless of a setup as possible so I'm willing to spend an extra 40$ if necessary but really don't want to spend it if it's not necessary. Really all I care about for my motherboard is decent overclocking support and decent I/O (don't care about TB3, a bunch of PCIe slots, 2.5Gbit LAN, more USB ports, etc.). I was also planning on using the iGPU (this will be a development machin...
