majidemo Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hello,I am a programmer and a mac user (macbookpro, imac, macmini) but recently I was looking for a fast machine, so I thought of the Mac Pro but I just can't help but think that its expensive and it might be upgraded (hugely) by the end of this year which is a waste if I buy now. So I thought maybe try a hackintosh. I've never done hackintosh before but it might just work. Anyways, here is my specs, I was hoping to dual boot windows and mac on it.Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-5960X Extreme Edition Motherboard: MSI X99 Gaming 9 AC Memory: GSKILL 32GB 2400MHZ DDR4 RIPJAWS 4 F4-2400C15Q-32GRR Video Card #1: NVIDIA GTX TITAN X 12GB GDDR5 Video Card #2: NVIDIA GTX TITAN X 12GB GDDR5SSD: 1TB Samsung 850 Evo Hard Disk 1: 1TB WD RED Hard Disk 2: 1TB WD REDSo, can I run Yosemite?Thank you. Any guidance is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawcom Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I took a look over your specs and here's what I found: People have succeeded with getting i7-5960X to work on Yosemite. Titan X works with the latest Yosemite Web drivers, according to some posts. SLI support is not built into Mac OS X NVIDIA drivers and most likely never will. I've run 2 GTX 770s in OS X without issues; they were simply identified as two separate cards. You won't need any injector kext of any sort. Your Qualcomm E2205 LAN is supported here. Your onboard sound card, ALC1150, is supported by VoodooHDA, and I personally suggest going this route versus patching an AppleHDA kext. As for wireless, I didn't look and see if this is miniPCIe or USB, but if it's miniPCIe then it's replaceable if the card it comes with isn't an Atheros or Broadcom-supported chip through the Apple Airport kexts. You can get one that's supported for a cheap price on eBay. If it connects to the motherboard hardwired through USB like many ATX motherboards that come with wifi, then it's either supported by a third party kext which comes with its own ugly wireless connection utility, or it's just plain unsupported. You have a long way to go in regards to getting the install media ready, but from what I can see, you have a decent setup that should work alright. I don't see anything else in the specs that raised any red flags. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
