I was asking becasue I wanted to know if it was better to match my chipset or if I should match my CPU. The 14,2 has a Z87 chipset and the 15,1 has a Z97 chipset.

Quadie Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 15,1 results in a black screen right before hitting the logon screen. I'm using Fully Updated 10.10.3, Clover 3215*, NVIDIA web drivers and a GTX 970 connected via HDMI. OS doesn't panic or anything (I can logon and use the keyboard shortcut to shut down) its just that it is not outputting any display. So as of this point 14,2 is a better choice... unless someone has a suggestion on how to fix the display. *Clover settings: NewWay_80000000 FIX_RTC_20000 DropTables DMAR darkwake 10 XMPDetection 1 AFGLowPowerState False (Audio) Inject 1 InjectSystemID True Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306483-z87-4790k-imac-142-or-151/#findComment-2142443 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadie Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 That does not work with the NVIDIA Web Driver.

toleda Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 What would be a better match for a Z87 chipset and a 4790K, the iMac 14,2 or 15,1? imac14 and imac15 support 8 series chipsets; no imac15 advantage over imac14. imac15/4790K cpu support is in Apple firmware, not available on non native hardware (use ssdtPRGen.sh) Simple answer: use imac14, no AppleGraphicsControl.kext edits required.
