frees11 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hello guys, in this guide I will show you how to install and run OS X 10.11 El capitan Public Beta 1 on MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming. Complete PC configuration: Intel Core i7 3770k 3.5Ghz MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming 16GB Kingston ram 4*4GB Gigabyte R9 290X Windforce 4GB GV-R929XOC-4GD Sapphire AMD R9 290 referential : this one isn't working Corsair RM550W PSU HDDs: Crucial 240GB SSD, Transcend 256GB ssd, WD2000 EARS 2TB hdd, Samsung 2TB hdd. Philips BDM4065UC UHD 40" display hooked to Gigabyte 290X via Display Port and some old 23" LG full hd display hooked to Intel 4000 graphic viac DVI. Prerequisities: In bios you should have enabled IGP and IGP should be main graphic accelerator. You should also have switched boot mode to UEFI(not UEFI+Legacy) For working fan control you need to enable and set it up in bios. I wasn't able to control cpu fan rpm from os x but bios automatic mode works and I hadn't any problem with that. Installation: For creating installation media use this guide: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/307003-clover-os-x-el-capitan-usb/, choose Uefi and ESP, also used E2200 kext for ethernet connection(Killer). Becuase I have core i7 which have Intel 4000 graphic I usec Clover config with enable Intel graphic card. In my case is integrated gpu needed for multimonitor support IMPORTANT THING: you need to add FakeSMC kext and all other kexts(E2200 ethernet...) to both 10.11 folder and to 10.10 folder in kexts folder as well. IMPORTANT THING 2: I recommend using simple 8GB usb key, with my card reader and micro sd card I wasn't able to create bootable os x medium. Post installation: After sucessful installation, you should boot capitan from installed hdd via USB key bootloader and find yourself in El capitan with intel graphic working, without working 290X and sound. Then download Clover installer again and repeat exactly same steps, when you were creating bootable installation media copying kexts to efi partition and so on. IMPORTANT THING: you need to add FakeSMC kext and all other kexts(E2200 ethernet...) to both 10.11 folder and to 10.10 folder in kexts folder as well. After that restart your computer pull out usb key and boot os x via install clover from main hdd. You should find yourself in El capitan with intel graphic working, Ethernet working as well, without working 290X and sound. R9 290X: download clover configurator, mount efi partition load config and uncheck Ati injection graphics tab and in SMBIOS section select iMac 14.1 retina. Newest Mac Pro smbios should also worked although I didn't test it. After restart 290X should report itself as AMD Radeon HD 8xxx 4096 MB in system report. And any UHD monitor connected via display port should work as well. Sound: use this script https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverALC, it should auto select ALC892, after installation restart and after boot enable in system preferences show volume in menu bar ALT+right click on sound icon in menu bar select output device internal speakers and increase volume. Sound should be working What isn't working yet: Bluetooth: I have arctic UD2 bluetooth dongle which worked in Yosemite but in PB1 when I click on Bluetooth pane in system preferences, it freezes and I need to force quit whole application. GPU Fan???: I also think that gpu fan can't be regulated, but maybe I will find some tool for it later. USB 3.0: I didn't find any fix for it, but I wasn't very thorough because now I don't have any usb 3.0 device connected. AMD R9 290: I also have this card which is basically stripped R9 290X but I wasn't able in any way to enable it with display port connected although some people says that they have it working with HDMI. On yosemite 10.10.1 it worked great after injection Ok guys, after completing this guide you should have working Capitan on your hackintosh pc, but if you have any problem just leave comment or pm me.

bdeluxe Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have the same board, however I have a few issues. The main one is that it doesn’t shut down cleanly and on restart states "not shutdown properly" error. Is it possible to post your bios and config settings so I can compare with my own. Also do you use DSDT or SSDT? Did you use a modded bios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
