AMD FX 8120/ASROCK N68C

Hello!

I am not new to the world of mac as I have owned my macbook pro laptop for a few years now, although I also own a PC and would like to install hackintosh on it.

The problem is, It is an AMD PC and I know for AMC computers the hardware compatability can become spotty.

 

I have been following a tuttorial titled "AMD Phenom Hackintosh Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Retail instructions!"

 

Within that tuttorial it states to gather the following files:

Retail Update DVD 10.6.3

Nawcom CD

Nawcom gibts USB

 

I have downloaded all the necessary files that are listed on that tutorial although I can not get passed the begining steps.

Here are the first steps to complete in BIOS settings:

 

1st Load Optimized Defaults (Reboot)

2nd Sata set in AHCI mode

3rd AMD C1E mattering (Disabled)

4th ACPI Suspend Mode to S3

5th AMD Cool & Quite off

6th Primary boot disk specify

7th Save

8th Reboot

 

 

Problem is in my BIOS, I can not set Sata to AHCI mode. (only ide)

I can not find AMD C1E mattering

I can not find any ACPI mode

 

 

System Info:

Processor: AMD FX 8120 - Eight Core Processor @3.60GHz

RAM: 12gb

Motherboard: ASRock N68C - GS FX

Graphics: GeForce 9800 GT

 

 

I am trying to instal Snow Leopard on it.

 

Is it possible to do with my Motherboard and Processor?

 

 

Do I need a SSD in order to do this installation?

Try Lion instead of Snow Leopard. Follow this topic: Lion kernel testing on AMD (split in progress)

 

Answer the second quiz so you can post there.

 

Best regards!
