mac09hack Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Everything you have looks good. I would suggest an exception the the X99 motherboard. however. It would seem that there are major issues with the X99 and I would shut you spend time researching this before going forward. I have built a recent MacOS X running Z97X-UD7 and used information from rampagedev.com to get this working. You might go there and ask a question about how the X99 would work as this site is full of information for building a hackintosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
