Gus93 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 So I just built my first desktop ever, pretty freaking excited! The build: Mobo: Asus Z87-Deluxe Cpu: Intel i7 4770k Psu: Corsair 600M Gpu: NVIDIA 660TI Ram: 2x4GB corsair vengeance SSD: Corsair Force GT 480GB HDD: Some piece of junk 500gb drive @7200rpm And I want to run OSX on ye ole HDD (for now anyway). So here's what I got; I found a guide to hackintosh http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/11/how-to-set-up-asus-hackintosh.html which lead me to this forum. Through a bit of reading and such I have found a patched version of my BIOS (which I plan to flash shortly). Any help or advice would be appreciated. I realize that Haswell is pretty untested territory so I'm ready to get owned and run into issues etc. I guess none of that was really a question. Mostly, informative links and useful tips from others doing the same thing would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus93 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Secondary thought. I've now read a ton of stuff on these forums and understand what's going on a little bit more, I think. Would anyone lend me a hand in finding the proper kexts for my system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Mountain Lion as is won't support Haswell yet. That said, read this: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/xnu-10-8-3-haswell-compatibility/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, read this: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/xnu-10-8-3-haswell-compatibility/ Yes, I read that. Having taken into consideration the options I have it seemed more reasonable to just get a copy of 10.9 which I believe does have the native support. I don't have the experience to apply that patch to a 10.8.4 install. If you'd be willing to talk me through that process a little bit, I would definitely be more happy to go about it that way than using 10.9! If you would be willing, please move this conversation to my new thread (I'm an actually member now!) here, so that I can delete this one and avoid duality! http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/289977-ml-on-a-asus-z87-haswell-build/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
