Adventuro-3 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I am considering building a very low budget system for testing purposes. The tests will be on different hardware, OS's, utilities, etc., so the processor will not be taxed at all. About the most difficult thing the processor will need to do well in this build is to post and respond to forum topics. Is it possible to use the integrated HD 530 graphics on the Skylake Pentium G4500? If so, then the information is difficult for me to find and/or interpret. This chip has been used in a successful build by Frank Nitty: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/311747-guide-how-to-install-el-capitan-on-asus-z170m-plus-with-clover-using-pentium-g4500/ But Frank Nitty "cheated" on this one using a great NVIDIA graphics card instead of the integrated graphics. Also, he used Clover FakeCPUID for an Ivy Bridge CPU, which may not work if I want to use the HD 530. The Clover Wiki ( https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/KernelAndKextPatches#kernelandkextpatches_fakecpuid) lists codes for other FakeCPUID's, but there are currently none for a Skylake chip. From my limited understanding, using a FakeCPUID of a Skylake chip with HD 530 graphics would seem to give the best chance for success. Also, El Capitan 10.11.4 and later have native support for HD 530. Pike R Alpha related in his blog that this may be possible: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/os-x-10-11-4-build-15e65-and-skylake-graphics-support/ Unfortunately, he discusses things that are quite outside of my knowledge base so it is difficult for me to interpret what he is saying or how to proceed. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. An example build would be even better if one already exists as I have not been able to find one.
