Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm a little lost ...

I am looking for a shopping guide (a bit like tonymac which is very good, I come here because of an ethical problem of tonymacs http://goo.gl/WdPxAy).

 

I currently have a machine with the following config:

CPU  i5-4570

Mb   Asus H87M-PLUS

RAM  16GB Kingstone HyperX Blue

SSD  Intel 128GB

GPU  Gainware Nvidia GTX 650 Ti

 

It works pretty well apart few random crashes ...

It was installed with *beast tools...

 

 

I manually installed and configured clover and I want to make a new machine with a clean and much more advanced installation.

I wanted a multibooting to Win10 Pro and Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3 (in preference but it can be Sierra 10.12 for stability)

 

I started looking at material:

CPU i7-7700K

Mb  Gigabyte Aorus GA-Z270X-GAMING K5 / Gigabyte GA-Z270N-WIFI / Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H / Gigabyte GA-H270M-DS3H

RAM HyperX Fury Noir 16 Go (2x 8Go) DDR4 2133 MHz CL14

SSD Samsung 840 EVO 256GB Sata III

GPU Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 OC Low Profile 2G

 

 

What do you think about this ?

Yes but for nom it's just a little expensiv...  ^_^  :D

 

Np, for nom it's just to look.

 

For the RAM, tonyxmac said that is important to have a 2133mhz spec  :rolleyes:  Is it true ?
Now I don't know if i can trust this website... :(  :thumbsup_anim:

Yes, many diff xD

 

Oh ok.... I'll see if it's in my budget

I think there isn't a huge difference with mhz of RAM in usage...

 

https://techbuyersguru.com/gaming-ddr4-memory-2133-vs-26663200mhz-8gb-vs-16gb?page=4

 

 

Do you know how to disable the white flash screen when you receive a notif ??

Ok so i've create a new config :

 

ALIM :  LDLC GT-550P Quality Select 80PLUS Platinum 550W

MB    :  Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming

CPU  :  Intel Core i7-8700 (3.2 GHz)

RAM  :  Corsair Vengeance LPX Series Low Profile 16 Go (2x 8 Go) DDR4 3000 MHz CL15 ({censored} I just sow that I can use DDR4 2666 MHz with this CPU not ?)

GPU  :  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 OC Low Profile 2G *OR* EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 SC GAMING 2G

 

Seems good ?

 

 

Thanks

Hello !

 

I have now my XPS 15 (9560 - Full HD) ! :D

And I have found this to install a hackingtosh on it https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/320016-dell-xps-15-9560-version-2017-compatibility-information/

Hibernation, Nvidia Graphic Cards and Thunderbolt HotPlug doesn't work...

 

AND https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/331715-guide-dell-xps-15-9560-high-sierra-10132/

 

Wifi, nVidia GPU (Intel IGF works well) doesn't work...

 

So my question is, did you think that we can have a hackingtosh working with hibernation, nvidia graphic, thunderbolt and wifi ?? With some hard work ?

 

 

Next whrere are you with the file that I've give to you ??

 

 

Finaly I will  buy my new desktop PC. And I have do some changes in the configuration :

ALIM : BE QUIET - Alimentation Modulaire Pure Power 10 CM 600W 80+ Silver

MB    :  Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming

CPU  :  Intel Core i7-8700 (3.2 GHz)

RAM  : CORSAIR - VENGEANCE LPX NOIR 16 Go 2x8 Go 3000 Mhz - CL16

GPU  :  GIGABYTE - GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6 Go OR MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC (I can have the second for 190€ by a friends and it's in waranty so...)

 

Did you think that this GPU still working in a hackingtosh ?

 

Thank you
