tronpan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hi guys, after years I would like to set up a new Hackintosh (last one in 2008/2009). This is the Hardware I use: Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 CPU: Intel 6800k (6 Core) GPU: EVGA GTX 970 Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz I have tried various installation guides for my mainboard ... so far without success. Most guides with this mainboard use 5820k or similar, I think my CPU is the Main Problem why the Installation doesn´t work. As Bootloader I use Clover (I am open to alternative) on a USB2.0 Stick with Sierra 10.12.2. (Alternatively available USB3.0 Stick.) With fakeCPUID 0x0306e4 i reach this point (see attached image) but then the computer restarts automatically every time. To help me better I also attached my current EFI-Files. EFI-Files.zip My knowledge about hackintosh (especially kernel-patching, DSDT-handling, etc.) isn´t that good, so I don´t know really what to do. Excuse my bad English, I hope you smart people can help me again ... after 7 years SaveSave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameismatthew Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Just a complete shot in the dark here but when my installation got stuck at the same "MAC Framework successfully initialised" point I had to rework my BIOS settings according to a skylake CPU guide I found (which i know doesnt exactly apply to you) and then it went forward from there. Give your BIOS setup another look. in my case, here is the settings I followed Load optimised defaults & BIOS Features: Fast boot - Enabled PS2 Devices Support - Disabled CSM Support - Disabled Secure Boot - Disabled Peripherals: XHCI Hand-Off - Enabled Super IO Configuration -> Serial Port - Disabled Chipset: VT-D - Disabled IOAPIC 24-119 - Disabled Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronpan Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thank you first, the combination of both advice helped me a lot. It seems like the installation starts. Now I have to leave the house because of an new year party. Tomorrow I will test everything extensively and give feedback. Thanks a lot!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtosavros Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I have the same cpu and motherboard... But I have problems installing sierra. Can you give me your EFI, and can you tell me what changes you did in the bios? When I put this 4g I get a black screen. My gpu is gtx980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
