hi

 

we have OSx86 Wiki for that!!!

 

think about it!  ;)

it's all about showing off the build cause wiki's no one bothers only if it's a last resort and they are missing so much info with no real heart put into them 

Fantomas1 is right, the wiki is great for that but just for {censored} and giggles, I will post mine for ya too..

lol thanks but it's far from perfect, my old i7-3770K runs must more stable than this one. I installed 10.9 on this build yesterday and I am glad I used a spare hard drive.. I had KP everywhere with it. Bigger is not always better. :)

x79 are easy to get going the is a lot of support for them here.

make yourself a good boot usb boot drive again good support on how to do it here i just plug in my usb and can be installed  with everything working in 30 minutes 

sound is the hardest thing to get to work (for me)

so i used a M-Audio soundcard

Hi there. I’m quite new here but I would like to share my 10.9 working build.
I think it's my best build till now (out of 5)

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z77 UP4 TH (rev.1)
Ram: Corsair Vengeance Black 32 GB (8 x 4) 1600 mhz
CPU i5 2500k overclocked at 4.3 (I used ET6) even if I have only 3.43 shown in System Profiler
PSU: LC-POWER 850 WATT Arkangel 850W Bronze Gaming Series
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 612s
GPU: ASUS GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP overclocked (I enabled also the Intel HD 3000)
PCI Cards: Syba SATA 3 SY-PEX40039 - Orico ORICO PFU3-2O2I + Orico 4 USB3 front panel
Monitor: Benq EW2730V
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos 1000
BluRay Burner LG BH10LS38
DVD Burner LG GH24NS90
Audio: FiiO E10 + AKG K 141 MK II
Nearfield Studio Monitors: MAudio Studiophile AV 40
Webcam: Logitech HD C310
Keyboard & mouse: Logitech MK 710
First boot HD: OCZ Vertex3 120 GB (OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4)
Other HDs: 2 x WD Blue 500 GB (1 with win 8 64bit) - 1 x WD Green 2 GB (where I’m testing 10.9) - 2 x External USB3 WD Blue 1 GB

I followed the guide http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/289062-109-mavericks-simple-vanilla-hackintosh-install-guide/ then I had to fix lan and audio ( Lnx2Mac’s and 882) using Kext Wizard.
I had also to fix the usual problem with mixed Z77 and Sandy Bridge Intel HD 3000 manually adding the id 0x01128086  in System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelHD3000Graphics.kext/Contents/Info.plist and /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext/Contents/Info.plist.
Ok. Then I made a mess trying to import my account from the SDD from a Time machine backup and I had to install everything again.
Everytime I used Kext Wizard to repair permissions.
Now everything seems to work including maps, iMessage, App Store, etc.
Only USB3 seems unstable and I think I’ll have to use GenericUSB Kext.
I must say I could have success thanks to the guide and suggest I found here and maybe also for a little experience and, mostly for a great passion for hackintoshes. I do these things for the challenge (lol).

Ciao
