FearJoy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hey all, I recently got my hackintosh working on this setup: Asus x99 Deluxe II 5930k GTX 780 Ti I learned a TON of information from "the other forum." Specifically a user wrote a great guide for setting up a similar motherboard, an Asus X99 Rampage V Extreme. I thank him so much for writing that up! I had tried countless guides for both 10.11 and 10.10 before his. Not sure if these scores are good or bad - do the attached HWMonitor look ok? Geekbench Scores 64-bit -- Single 3641 -- Multi 20796 32-bit -- Single 3300 -- Multi 18864 Cinebench R15 OpenGL -- 110.88 CPU -- 1037 cb (watching that render is beautiful) I did not use a USB stick to boot from for the initial install. I used the SSD that would eventually go into the hackintosh and mounted it to my MacBook Pro with a SATA to USB3 converter. Once it was mounted I went to my applications folder and and ran Install OS X El Capitan.app. I set the target drive as the USB mounted SSD. Set up went through its process and within 30 minutes my MacBook Pro was able to boot from the USB mounted SSD. Once booted from the USB mounted SSD while on my MacBook Pro, I used a USB stick to transfer the following applications to the SSD - Clover Configurator, EFI Mounter v3, IORegistryExplorer, KCPM Utility Pro, Kext Utility, ShowHiddenFiles. All of these were needed at some point to follow the guide. I currently have completed: Bootloader and NVRAM Fundamental kexts Create SSDT and DSDT Enable Graphics Hardware Acceleration for unsupported nVIDIA GPU So far here are some things that work: Sound output from speakers in DisplayPort monitor Audio over DisplayPort works after sleep GTX 780 Ti with nvda_dvr=1 and "NVIDIA Web Driver" as opposed to OS X Default USB 2.0 WiFi mostly works, but sometimes it slows down to 28.8k speeds And some things that don't work: GTX 780 Ti fans always at 100% speed, wow that is loud HWMonitor shows the GPU clock rates at 324 MHz core and 648 Mhz, reference speeds are 837/1502 And things I don't know about yet, still need to set up and install - Am I missing any thing here? - first hack Ethernet - my board has both the Intel I218V and I211-AT controllers according to the Asus spec page. This is a desktop obviously, so I really need to get this working USB 3.0 USB 3.1 via Asus add in card, seen a few guides but this is low priority Need to confirm that all P and C states for the 5930k work correctly, unsure how to accomplish Analog audio out both front and back panels So far I think my first hack has gone well, or maybe I am just lucky!

Dwarfy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi, The GPU clocks shown on HWmonitor is only cosmetic, I think. I get the exact same clock readings for my Titan. As for USB 3.1, Apple does not use 3.1 yet, so no need for it until they do. I assume you got AsMedia, so Generic USB kext could be used for USB 3.0. For I218v. you can use Mausi Ethernet kext.

Fljagd Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 For usb3 in config.plist first pict and X99-injector.kext in Clover/kext/10.11 For eternet 2 kexts in S/L/E ethernet.zip X99_Injector.kext.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
