Reon636 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi guys, this is my first hackintosh configuration, i've never built one before, but i made 2 windows based computers this year so more or less i generally know how building works. PSU: Corsair VS350 350W MB: Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 CPU: Intel Core i3 4330 RAM: Corsair Classic XMS3 4GB HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA 500GB 7200RPM I'm building this for a friend of mine. He says he knows how to install MacOSx, but i don't, so for now i just want to know if Mavericks would be fully operating with this config. Thanks! PS: sorry if my english isn't the best one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon636 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sorry the MB is the GA-H87M-HD3. I also considered buying the GA-H81M-DS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laberlohe Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hello, I just set up a similiar rig with i3-4330 and GA-H87M-D3H (D3H=Realtek-LAN-chip; DH3=Intel-LAN-chip, both chips are supported). I would choose the cheaper one. DON'T take the GA-H81M-DS2! It has only a Sub-D/VGA-out, which isn't supported by OSX. So you save 40 bucks buying this board, but you'll have spend them getting a graphics card... To get better compatibility change i3 for an i5 (Apple doesn't use any i3 afaik and so there are some unsupported cpus errors in powermanagement - but the machine will work never the less). Have fun!

Some mid 2010 or early 2013 iMacs models were equipped with i3 CPUs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iMac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that had been Nehalem or IvyBrigde ones. Haswell (iX-4XXX) micro architecture is a bit different... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also will not recommend you to mention tony at this site. This hardware configuration looks to be very compatible with Hackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
