Elad Nava Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Update: macOS Sierra 10.12.4 version available here. Hi fellow mainboard users,I'd like to share my success story of installing El Capitan (10.11.1) on this incredibly cheap but powerful motherboard. I wrote an extremely detailed guide (applicable to noobs as well) for installing El Capitan on Hackintosh, check it out! Link to the full guide: http://eladnava.com/install-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-on-hackintosh-vanilla/ Audio Getting the on-board ALC 887 (0x10ec0887) to work in El Capitan is tricky, but I was able to do it by trying lots of kexts and scripts, until I found a combination of 2 that worked: 1. HDEnabler1.kext - by toleda (https://github.com/toleda/audio_kext_enabler) 2. audio_cloverALC-110.command - by toleda (https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverALC) The HDAEnabler1.kext can be copied safely to EFI/Clover/kexts/10.11/. The audio_cloverALC-110.command needs to be run (after mounting the EFI partition via diskutil) and the correct Audio_ID for our ALC 887 is 1. Note that you will need to go into the System Preferneces -> Sound -> Output and select the hardware device for this to work! Both files are attached. Networking The on-board RTL 8169 ethernet controller works great after installing the attached Ethernet-RTGNICv2.0.6For10.7.mpkg. Graphics Depends on your card. In my case, the GTX 650 worked out of the box (without graphics injection or what-not) with QE/CI support.

Elad Nava Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Haven't tried Probably shouldn't cause any issues except the usual AppleACPIPlatform kernel panic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elad Nava Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi, Try booting with -v flag to see where it fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toohinc Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hi, Try booting with -v flag to see where it fails. hi I have tried almost all combinations of flags possible. The problem is, it loads the kexts so fast and then suddenly reboots, I cant even read where the error is at. It can be the kernel (mach_kernel), graphics kext, I have reinstalled a couple of times using difent USB installers/guides, all with same problem, keeps rebooting after loading a few kexts. Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbrena Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hello, It seems most El Capitan installations dont get USB 3 / 2 working properly. Have you test speed and funtionality??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elad Nava Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hi, This mobo doesn't have USB 3 (at least mine doesn't). USB 2 ports in the back work out of the box. I think the front ones do not work, but I can do without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
