Isee somthing strange in the last configuration:
The mainboard has ddr4 and on the link did you put ddr3: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aktlkfb49wd7f4b/Screenshot%202014-10-30%2023.15.50.png?dl=0
Can you tell me for shure that Yasomite can be instaled on this configuretion with this mantion DDR4? Is posible to see a tutorial or an article about that?
thanks so much for correcting that, i updated that link.
Hi,
Might be a dumb question, but why isn’t there any GPU in these lists ?
I’m willing to build a budget hackintosh and might use it for games. That’s why I’m asking.
Thanks!
not a Dump question at all. I would recommend any recent Nvidia GPUs which are natively OSX supported.
you see, the budget one has not a CPU, but a APU that is a cpu and a gpu comined in to one chip, not perfect for video editing but for budget, its perfect
Hi, I’m new to hackintosh thing. I have a question, is it compatible with any other CPU as long as it’s i3, i5 or i7 ? The one you listed here in the budget specs is not available here in my place. Can you suggest something? Because I don’t want to buy something that doesn’t work. BTW, I am building budget hackintosh.
Thanks.
And do I need to use GPU? I am not a gamer BTW.
Hi,
Thanks for your tutorial very easy. I just have one problem in the process of installation on my laptop Dell Latitude E6500. Here the system summary
[img]img/uploaded2/image106274.jpg[/img]

Cheers.
Stephan,
Sorry for the pictures the links doesn’t work.
so the motherboard is : DELL 0W612R Chipset : Intel GM45/47 Processor : Intel Mobile Core 2 duo T9600 2800 Mhz.
If you can’t get to the OSX installer, try typing in -x at the Chimera Boot screen. You can also type some other boot flags such as: GraphicsEnabler=Yes, PCIRootUID=1, maxmem=4096, maxmem=8192, and npci=0x2000 individually or in combination in order to solve boot issues.
Hi there mate!
my osx starts fine but only with -x on the chimera boot.
what im doing wrong?

Looking to start my build this weekend. Thanks for your support first and foremost. Question I have is with Yosemite, are all the functions available? For example iMessage? Or is there any quirky DRM bugs that are not working as opposed to buying an actual iMac? Also when plugging in an external USB device will it auto recognize still or are there any issues in that regard? Thanks again!
Hi,
I am waiting now for quite the same build than your “High End Hackintosh Pro”. I just order an Asus X99 A than GA UD X99. Is that easy possible to build an hackintosh with that kind of mother board??
Thanks for all your work !
Would the Hackintosh with the Nvidia GTX 970 support the 4k resolution when running OS X Yosemite?
Thanks
could you please name the brand for heat fan for the processor for the high end and also name the thermo paste with it. regards

Im planning on making a dual boot win8/os x system, Id like to use final cut on osx and play games in windows 8.. Is this teoreticly possible? Any component in this list that is not compatible?
Does macs support touchsreens? what about external soundcards? Is there any common file system that osx and win can use to store large video files on?
I am not sure if the touch screen or the external sound card are compatible checkout tonymacx86 to check that gtx980 will work I guess yes so in general you computer is compatible or almost compatible sense the motherboard is z97 and it is gigabyte also I don’t know if the hard drive will make problems but they are solve able if yes good luck

You need to install multibeast and choose the correct configuration and make sure to install a bootloader and checkout the dsdts on tonymacx86 and see if the your motherboard are there to get the dsdt and install it by using multibeast then you must get no problems
I have a Lenovo Z500 by below hardware config:
Lenovo 20202 motherboard
Intel i5 3230M
Intel hd graphics 4000
8gb ddr3 ram
512GB
Just checkout tonymacx86 there you must found if it is compatible or not or it need dsdt
Can I use Intel Xeon and a different case?
Most probably yes because apple use xeon cpu on mac pro I am not sure
Thanks for the tutorial:)
Just one question: would there be an issues with an i7 instead for the solid option?
Intel i7 is compatible but what do you mean by solid option also make sure that it is newer or it’s 3rd generation
Hi dear brother at the first tanx for your taturials. can i install dual boot mac yosemite and win 10 on my samsung service 7 np700z5c
cpu: i7 3615qm
ram:8gB
vga: intel hd 4000 & Nvidia gt 650m
hdd: 750 gb
Please answer my question please
HI! i have a question … so it is really necessary to have those graphic cards you have mentioned or it doesn’t matter what i have..?
If you have Intel HD graphics that is on the cpu you don’t need to use another one but if you want a graphics card that is more powerful you need to make sure that it is on the tonymacx86 webpage because they always change or add when releasing a new mac is x
my configuration is
cpu AMd Fx-8350 eight core processor
mothterbord Gigabyte 970A-DS3P
RAM DDR3 8GB G-SKILL
Graphics card AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
SSD KINGSTONSUV100S37A120G from 111.79 GB SATA III
On above configration dose it work os x??
AMD cpus are tricky never got them to work with this method. For Hackintosh you really need a intel CPU.
If you really want to install it on amd cpu you must checkout niresh tutorials on YouTube and check their webpage to download a copy you also will be able to burn it on windows
HI
you are doing a great job on youtube. I need some help. I have MSI Motherboard ( MSI Z79 Guard Pro ) . I have made my bootable usb with unibeast. When i boot from usb i see the screen with unibeast and ntfs hard drive. I see the apple logo for few second and then no display. Can you help me or what bios setting i should change.
Thanks
try typing in “-x” or other boot flags such as: GraphicsEnabler=Yes, PCIRootUID=1, maxmem=4096, maxmem=8192, and npci=0x2000 individually or in combination in order to solve boot issues.
bro mine laptop is HP pavilion G4 … can i installl mac os in it ?

https://www.facebook.com/mrh.vipperson?fref=photo
Just checkout all the codes because maybe you will need code for Intel HD graphics
I have noticed on the high end hackintosh there is no cooler for the CPU. For the intel 5820k, it doesn’t come with a cooler and I would like to know of a good cooler for that CPU.
Hello Waj

Display adapter: AMD Radeon HD 7570M
RAM: DDR3 8GB
Thanks.
Not sure my tutorials are made for custom built PCs Not laptops Unfortunately. But you can always try at your own risk. thanks.
Is it safe for my laptop? I am afraid that this may corrupt something (e.g. BIOS) in my laptop. Thanks.
bro mine laptop is HP pavilion G4 … can i installl mac os in it ?
I’m not an expert in building PCs, I hope this is not a stupid question. If ever I would like to build a budget / solid / high-end hackintosh, does it mean that I’d have to really stick with what is listed on the corresponding types and not allowed to mix parts up like getting a 16gb ram on budget hackintosh?
Hi i’m thinking of buying an new pc and install Mac on it… so here is my config..
MSI Z87-GD65 mother board
Intel 4th gen I7 4770K
Ram 8GB + 8GB
Hdd 2TB + 2TB
GT 740 2GB DDR5 Graphic
will it be ok …
Do you still recommend this motherboard? GA-X99-UD4? All I’ve been reading is people constantly having boot loop problems left and right.
Hi, Great tutorial , really…!!
I would very much like to install yosemite on my pc …i am actually in process for building my custom gaming pc and was thinking of putting an AMD processor in it ..but in your guide it is mentioned that we need to have a INTEL based pc.
